Christmas with the Twins

Let's see if Savannah will fit in this box
MMMM Iowa Corn...no wait Sarah that's a candle....to late.
EEEKKK my reflection
That's it?
Blah blah blah and then one lady bug....yea...get the lady a drink.

Christmas List

In this electronic age I thought instead of sending a letter to Santa it would be easier to just blog it.
I will start with small items and then move onto larger ones as we go along.
First as Sally Brown ask for...Money. Any size shape or amount would be nice. My debt doesn't seem to be going away as fast as I would like.

Now onto the real stuff.
Kitchen tongs...Not thong that thought would just be wrong.
Tong..like they have in restaurants. Stainless steel so they go along with the rest of my stuff. 12in OXO or Krup brand.
A kitchen timer..now not any kitchen timer this one has to replace my clucking chicken timer.It got over wound by a great niece who shall remain nameless..the odder the better.
Tires.
DVD box sets of British shows. I've been told I have a thing about British tv but I don't really care because this was from a person that has seen Star Wars 47 times.
If you want to make this simple don't ask me what they are about you will just be confused..
Ballykissangel I have the first series
Midsommer Murders I have the first,Third,fifth and sixth. don't ask.
Rosemary and Tyme any of them
French and Saunders Any
Brother Cadfeal any
To make this easier Borders is have a DVD box set sale 19-20th 40% off. that's even better then what we give the nasty educators. Follow this link for coupon.http://f.chtah.com/i/9/276579820/coupondvd_1218.htm
Any books I want I'll pick up for myself, same goes for clothes.
That's all...remember to shop smart shop Borders. Merry Christmas.


and money :)

Brains and Beauty

Dear Aunt Sarah,
I hope Constance turns out half a pretty as me because it doesn’t look like she’s going to make it on her brains.
The other day the loud lady from the basement was watching us
And we decided to go look out the front window. It was just the bus going by so I went to play with my toys. Well brain trust herself got stuck behind the curtain and couldn’t find her way out…The loud lady and I just watched as the curtain went up and down and heard her whining behind it.. Finally she got out but then a loud truck went by and back she went Sometimes she never learns.
Well at least I can get lost behind the curtains unlike you Jaws. You’d just eat them.
Quiet Constance I’m writing a letter to the Aunt. She’s coming and I know she will bring presents for us. Well at least me Since we have the same letter in our name…
What S like in stup….Sorry we haven’t written but the Uncle’s computer has been broke. I think Savannah did it. She is always pushing buttons that she shouldn’t .Grandma’s DVD player is sick because Savannah broke it…
I didn’t break it I just wanted to see a movie.
Hit the buttons once not 10 times.. Grandma let me help her vacuum. I like doing it. Savannah came up behind me and was pushing it to fast. I was cleaning up after the messy one..
I’m not messy I just enjoy my food.
Lots and lots of it. Savannah. Your lucky you didn’t fall into the Christmas tree when you tried to get a candy cane down.
I was within my reach. Its just to bad Grandma made the mistake of putting up that high. Next time I may have to use you to get up that high.
Your not standing on my back again…I’ll get you with the vacuum.
Leave that evil thing out of this.
The loud lady under the stairs moved out so we each have our own room. They did that because Constance was keeping me awake with her snoring.
I don’t snore motor mouth. You keep me awake with your snoring.
Aunt will find out what kind of sleeper you are because she is staying in the room with you when she comes.
Two great minds in the same room.
Aunt Sarah is bringing someone else to stay with her?
No Constance it will be just her and…..hey that’s not funny.
And she tells people I’m not the bright one.


We stayed with the uncle when mom went out for the night. He didn’t make us go to bed. We just stayed up as long as we wanted…Played and ran around..
Savannah the wimp was out by 9 and then she head butted me off the couch.
I was getting comfortable.
You can get comfortable without lay across the bed.
When we left the evil dog from next door almost got me. Uncle protected me. The dog should have gotten Savannah, there is more meat on her bones.
Maybe he just wanted to chew on bones.

We went up to a dinner at Aunt Diane’s. There was a lot of people our age. I didn’t like that. One blond girl kept trying to pick me up. I’m not a doll.

Pick you up Savannah. Must have been a really strong person.

They said that these are our second and third cousins. I didn’t like playing with them. They didn’t want to share and they are bigger then us. Quiet Constance.

What?

Well that’s it for now. We will see you in about a week. Presents are fine or you can take us out to get new toys or food.

The cute one and her sister.

Its how many days til christmas?

Additions

My great nephew Zion has a little sister. I think she was born on August 30. Zion tells me that he would be happy to stay an only child. I figure in 20 or 30 years he will come around to like her. I think the name is (this from Aunt Madame) Chevela Diana. Why do I see the nickname Chevy in her future....I didn't start it really I didn't....
This brings the total of nieces and nephews up to ..lets see that's..5 carry the 7 add 10 equals...I've got nieces...2 or three nephews...
The other addition is a piano. It will be staying with me for the foreseeable future. It belongs to the skinny white girl. She is moving and doesn't have room for it...It looks real nice in the corner....All covered in pictures. Oh is it out of tune..My bad playing sounds even worse...Its like Old Lady Gimm singing.

Kilts and Hairy Cows

Yesterday was the annual Highland Games. It the day when all the people with just the tiniest bit of Celt in them come out.The day started out with a good down pour. If this was the real highlands it would be a normal day,but here in the Midwest we like it clear and sunny. I sure all the hearty Celts ran off to a shelter at the first sight of rain. Celtic pronounced with the K sound....the C is the basketball team.And if I hear it mispronounced I correct you...Its like the people that say tarot like carrot.
They hold the games at the fair grounds. Vendors from all over the Midwest come to sell their wares. This year I noticed that there was a lot of weapons for sale. Broad swords,battle axes,and all the other fun stuff. Then there is the authentic Scottish,English,Irish,Welsh food stuff that you can get at TJ Maxx for half the price. And then the lovely hand crafted jewerly that is made in china...They had a man there explaining all about the history of the collie dogs and how they herd the sheep..It was first said at Colleie...Which is Gaelic for dark eyes..Which the dogs have. It was fun to see the stare down the dog and one of the sheep had...On the other side of the field was the highland cows...Big hairy beastys who really need to get there bangs cut.
Now the games I really don't understand...Its mostly men and now some women that throw things. There is the caber toss. This is taking a telephone pole running with it upright and then tossing it.And you would do this in real life how? Then there are two others one it throwing a bale over a bar and then the highland version or the discus.
The people walking around are the most fun. You have then dressed as they think they would have been in the 1500s...You know the black death time. Ladies in long dresses and men in their armor....Maybe they did...But then the ones that look like Stevie Nicks backup singer would have been stoned or burned at the stake...
Every year I go and see if they have anything with my family name on it. But we aren't one of the popular names so I never do. Well maybe next year...or the year I do wear a kilt to it.

Zion

This is to show that I have other nieces and nephews besides the twins...This is Zion. He is my great nephew. His mother is my niece Lena and her mother is my older sister Dianne. Zion has pick up a bad gene from somewhere. His uncle Joseph has it also...they can always play Vulcans at Halloween and not need to buy any fake ears..In a couple months he will be a big brother. Maybe he will have a little sister...He did tell me that he wouldn't mind being an only child for a while longer.

The Flamingo Follies

The Flamingo Follies were held Aug 4th at the Quad Cities Botantical Center. This is where local and loco...artist put there personal touch on the feathery lawn ornament of old...Some paint, some dress them...others chop them up and melt them down...Here are some of the fine examples. Wish I had written down the names.

The Running of the Bulls...ah I mean Bix 7

On July 29th at 8am was the running of the 32nd Bix 7. 20,000 people run or walk past my house on this hilly 7 mile course. I'm just after the 1 mile mark so people are just getting going and look pretty pleased with them selves...
I'm also just after the 6 mile mark coming back so you see the pained looks and the red or worse gray faces.
Its really a site to see with all the people running down the street in the neighbour hood.
Then three hours after it starts its over. the last walker drags themselves down the hill to victory.A hour later the clean up crew comes thru and its like nothing ever happened...

The girl in pink on the right side had on her shirt....I'm getting married today.... 

Who you gonna call....Ghost busters...and the Hulk? 

The Superfriends out for a little run  

A gorilla trying to get his bananna 

The running of the 32nd Bix 7. Runners fill both sides of the street. Looking Northwest across Kirkwood to First Pres Church 

I'll Second That

For the last half decade July hasn't been a good month for my family...Its like the cosmos waits until those 31 days and throws it all at us...We would like to have the month renamed or better split it up...Give some to June and the other half to August. June 34th has just as good of sound as the 4th of july. I'm sorry for anyone who has good memories from the month, but I'd like on the whole to just do away with it until I'm dead.
Speaking of dead I tried to off myself...Not on purpose...the 22nd of that month with no name I got what I thought was a migraine...I was at work so I took Advil to try to put it off til I could get home and take the big guns...2 Advil every hour for 8 hours, Got home and took the migraine stuff. Instant relief....NO!! Whats up with that. Maybe its bad enough that it will take a while to kick in. still in pain in what I thought was a couple hours,I took that mega pain stuff. Aleve. and waited what I thought was 2 or 3 hours...still blinding painful. Well it hit a peak for me and I took another migraine med...then I sat down and noticed little black spots and my heart slowing down...Well a quick trip to the ER told me...One it was only about 6 hour between first and last...I had a lot of stuff in my system. Two it was a migraine but a sinus infection. So as I ready to leave the nurse is running around trying to find my shoes...I had no shoes....they lost my shoes...I told her I bet I didn't wear any in. Fast forward two weeks. Blinding head ache again. but this time its below the sinus. So I call a differant Dr. I go in and they x-ray my head...Brain was fun. But also found the problem. There was a "mass" sitting on the top of my one tooth all wrapped up in the nerves and roots of it....It had to come out. This is not the first time this has happened...three years ago I had another one just like this...So I see a bad pattern starting here.So the next day out it came. The last think I heard was the doctor saying...now this may hurt and then you will feel sleepy...15 hours later I wake up to my alarms going off to go to work...Now I just have to wait to see if its a harmless little mass or a problem...Oh it should be good news....Its not July....

Baseballs and Nachos

Dear Aunt Sarah,
Thursday night Mom and Dad tricked us.We went to a baseball game it was fun, there was a lot of people there. We got to eat Nachos.. They did give Constance gas..
Me gas?....I couldn't hear the announcer over old cannon butt here...
It wasn't that bad Constance.
Bad ,people thought they started the fireworks early.
Anyway...at the end of the game Mom dropped us off at the Uncles house. We thought since we had Grandma's car that we would be going to her house.
I wasn't really happy...even the little suck up Chiclets teeth girl wasn't happy.
I don't have Chiclets teeth....Jaws
Chiclets teeth
jaws

He gave us cookies and juice so it was alright.
But then he wanted us to go to bed...I was wide awake and ready to rumble.
You did rumble that was all your gas,Savannah. Jaws

He made us get cleaned up and then put us down and turned off the lights.
Everytime I would go to get up I would hear out of the dark....Down....sleep..
How does he do that....
Finally we went to sleep but then sirens woke up the delicate one.
It wasn't the sirens that woke me up it was having Savannah's butt on my head.

This happened five times in the night...Uncle really has to do something about that..
Constance needs her beauty sleep.
My beauty sleep? You should look in a mirror sister dear. And if I'm the afraid one why did I wake up with you laying on my stomach?
It was the only soft spot...
Yeah those four pillows uncle put down were really hard....

The next morning we got up and heard stuff going on out side uncle's house so we went into the front room and tried to look out the window. Uncle hadn't put up the blinds yet so we had to pull them back and looked out.Goofy thought I was going to hold them all the time but my arm got tired so I let go and it hit her in the back of the head. Well this woke up the uncle and he came running. When he got to us and picked up the crying one he didn't do the "are you all right" he said...god you stink...What has your parents been feeding you?
I had stuff coming out of the diaper and going up my back and Constance had it going down her leg....Uncle just took both of us and took us into the bathroom and put us in the tub. He stripped us down and then turned the hose on us...
It wasn't the hose Savannah...you do over do things...you had the nachos all over you clothes and down your legs. Besides I like the feel of the water....
Then why did you cry? Constance.
Tears of joy....Jaws.
After cleaning us up we had breakfast and then played for a while....
Then uncle said since we got up at 6 it was time for a mid morning nap. We don't do naps...He put us in the bed and told us,down and sleep. Well Constance was telling me a joke and I laughed and Uncle got that little vein in his forehead....He took us both and laid down with him...Me under his left arm and Constance on his chest...She cried for a while but then gave up and slept...I figured there was no one to bother now so I closed my eyes for just a second...
Closed your eyes and snored like a moose.
You don't know what a moose sounds like..
I live with you I'm sure its close...Jaws.
We then had lunch.But while uncle was making it an evil bat that uncle has attacked me...I just wanted to see what one was like close up but everytime I touched it. It would roll over and hit me...
Maybe it thought you were going to eat it Savannah.
Shut up Constance.
Jaws
Chiclets
then grandma came to our rescue.
We need to have mom tell us before hand what she is doing with us.
Remember when you come....Toys
The Sisters Hasken.

Hot Summer Days

Dear Aunt Sarah,
We spent the last Saturday at Grandma's while Mom and Dad went on a date. It was really hot,but that was ok because Grandma got us a pool to play in. It was OK until the Uncle joined us...He was trying to teach Constance how to splash with her feet. But the dumbo would get going and either fall over or get water in her eyes then.
Grandma likes to play in the pool with us also. But she likes to have the tree spray us...Constance will stand in front of it and let it spray her until it gets in her eyes and then its cry cry cry.
Constance doesn't like the dog next door or any dogs now. The big ugly one called Hans growled and barked at her when she was close to the fence. She won't go near any dogs now and stops in her tracks when she hears one bark.
We went to the park a couple weeks ago with Grandma,Uncle and the lady that lives under the stairs and went ever Constance saw a dog coming she would climb up on uncle...We did see the fountian in the park it was neat. It jumped up and down and it changed colours. We also went to the play ground. I like the slide but not climbing the steps to get to it.They did put us in swings....I don't like that, but of course Constance thought that was really fun...let the wind blow thru her empty head.
Friday Uncle took us for the night while Mom and Grandma went shopping. We didn't want to be left with him until he got out the treats then it was ok. His house is ok because we can see the cars go by on the street. Constance kept crying because she would hear the dog next door bark.
Uncle said you where coming home in a month....presents will be ok...I like books that have places you can feel them....and we have a list of stuff to do. Oh and I think Constance is teething again...Whiney and crying and drooling all the time...Its about time chipmunk teeth got more then four....
I have more then four Savannah....
The cute ones. 

Family

This is my sister Karen, she is five years younger then me...Hard to believe. I call her Madame.Some people think we are twins...some people can be so cruel.
She's a type A person. She will have her heart attack or stroke years before me.She's living in a dark cave right now and some day hope to live above ground and not see the grass at eye level.She's working retail right now and really enjoys it....she also is on heavy medication which could explain a lot. Not that she's looking but if there are any normal men out there between the ages of 35 and burial plot that don't live at home with their mothers or have any prior arrests or addictions call her at 815-

The twins in 2021

The twins in 2021

How was school today?,

Constance:

it was ok but Mindy came to school wearing last years hair tie. how bad is that I know her family had a fire but you musts keep up appearances no matter what, and Mr. Carter the math teacher thinks he's so stylish but he had a tie on today that had a stain on it how can you wear something that has a stain it was all I could do to take my eyes off it in class it was just so big and out there and then at lunch Bobby tried to be cool and put his arm around me but I acted like I didn't know what was happening. He thinks he so cool but I think he wears make-up to cover his zits.

Savannah:

I was ok........lunch was good......hit a girl with the stick in field hockey...she got in my way....the gas station across the street got robbed.....ask Constance about it I think she was there buying her cigarettes......oh look cookies

When did red stop being a car colour?

I went into my local GM dealer to get some touch up paint for my Blazer. I thought I would be preventive and get rid of the dings before they started to rust.
I asked the guy in the auto shop for a jar of red touch up paint.
"Ain't got that."
What do you mean you don't have it..Lot of cars out there are red.
"They don't make red."
He then took a book out and showed me all the differant choices out there. I couldn't tell if I needed Candy Apple Red or French Red Wine or Hawaii Sunburst. Even for the same year there was two or three to pick from. I picked Hawaii Sunburst. Dabbed it on a spot out of plain view. Once it dried it looked orange.
No refunds on open can.
Next time I think I'll go black.

Is there an age limit to this.

I was going thru Myspace the other day,to wish a niece happy birthday. And I noticed something...I was one of the oldest people on there. I looked at my nieces friend and saw that most are in their early to middle 20s. I did see some older folks and they scared me. Middle aged women and men fighting the tide of ageing by hanging out with a bunch of kids. They tell about their glory days of beer drinking ,sex and parties. Come on grow up.
Oh and in case you wonder why I have a Myspace if I think its not for me...My friends are all relatives and we found that this is the easiest way to send pictures.

So the fun begins

LONDON (Reuters) - Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who. Children and adults are expected to rush and buy the final Harry Potter novel in their tens of millions when it is complete, and if the publication of the sixth book is anything to go by, secrecy surrounding the plot will be tight. Rowling has already said that the final chapter of the seventh book was written long ago. "The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain's Channel 4. "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die." When asked to be more specific, she added: "No, I'm not going to commit myself, because I don't want the hate mail or anything else." She did explain that she understood an author's desire to kill off the main character of a successful series. "I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that's where I want to go. "I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'." Rowling, 40, wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was an unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion. The Harry Potter series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide.

Letter to the Aunt

This is a letter that I found my 18 month old twin nieces wrote to there Aunt Sarah in California

Dear Aunt Sarah,
Mom and dad abandoned us again at the uncle's house.
They didn't abandon us Savannah he was taking care of us for the day so Dad could sleep and grandma could rest.
You say tomato I say ...look a cookie.

Well Savannah wasn't too happy to be here but the uncle only had to get out the box of crackers and the sippy cups and she forgot all about being left.
Yeah Right Constance you didn't like it at first. But then you got all smiles and growling with him and looking all cute. And you made me look all dumb cuz I didn't keep both my shoes on.

Well some of us Savannah don't drag our feet like wounded buffalo.
You don't even know what a buffalo is Constance.
Yes I do. They have wings and you get them from the hot food places.
Sigh....
Uncle was going to take us out but he said he had a headache and he's stupid but not dumb
I think he just didn't want to be seen in public with you Constance..no hair and chicklet like teeth.
I have hair its just light...and about teeth I can get my way around food just as good as you Jaws.

It's ok here at uncles, we can look out either the big front window or the side window and see people and cars go by. Savannah likes when a loud on goes by we can't hear you big mouth.

What you don't like my singing? Constance
The big people call it screaming and you get odd looks from people. Remember the cop across from uncle's that looked at him when you did it while we watched the people run in front of his house. He took us in real quick after that.

Some people just don't have taste.
They do Savannah but its good...and your singing isn't

We played the day away and uncle kept trying to get us to take naps. He finally said enough and put us in our couch and said don't move for at least 15 minutes. He laid down in his bed and every time one of us would put our head up he would just say "Down".How'd he do that?
Finally Savannah who was full from eating everything in his house fell asleep. I figured why fight it.
When you come to see us maybe you can swim in our pool with us. Savannah can't seem to stand up for more then a few minutes and then falls.She has a lot of padding down there to fall on.

Hush Constance all you like to do is lay in the deep in and splash me.
I'm working on my tan, Savannah.
Tan? You mean burn. They keep putting stuff on you and telling you to put a hat on when you get out it looks like an oil slick.

They keep telling us that we need to talk why we get everything that we want. Besides Constance and I do talk between us...planning stuff

Til later the cute one and her sister.

Always ask what the background colour is

 

Why the Internet is making me poor

Why the Internet is making me poor.
I love books. All kinds of books old,new,used,paperback,hardcover. I used to count how many I had but lost track. Last count was around 3500. mostly paperbacks. God I'm going to hate it when I move.
Right now I'm trying to complete a series of books. I've looked high and low for The novels to Emmerdale. I found most of them on Alibris.com but there was one or two they never had. Then I found Abebooks.com....Out of England...They have everything I would want plus I've found other stuff. The shipping is even cheaper them Alibris. The mailman is going to start wondering what I'm getting from Engand all the time.
I'm reading the Tim Cockey Books right now. Hitchcock Sewell mysteries. Really good reads. Fast, funny, sexy, two thumbs up.
And I'm also reading EX Giroux. Death of a Dilettante. EX is a author out of Canada that put out a series of books in the 80s. Also very good. Hard as heck to find..

Staying Connected on the Internet

First I can't believe that its been almost 6months since I came on here. It must be my very busy life.......

Anyway I got an email the other day telling me that I should update my profile on HI5. I don't remember ever going on there but I hit the link and go have a look see. Yep it was one of those online communities I signed up for back last Oct.
Leslie (Superweezie) who I used to work with got me to sign up. I've never been back since. I looked around a see that my one niece and a friend have requested that I accept them into my network. They must think me a jerk because I haven't done anything and they both asked back in November.
So what are these online Commuities. Myspace.com, Yahoo 360. HI5.com, Connexion.org. Yep I'm on them all. There may be more but I've forgotten them.
I've done a search for my area and the same people come up in each one. I also noticed that the average life of a member is about two months and the they move on to the next big thing.
I pretty sure that I wouldn't join any of these if it wasn't for someone going "its fun you have to join". At 41 it isn't that much fun to see a bunch of kids misspell words in their messages as they try to hook up or tell about their lastest conquest/beer bash...I'm getting old I know it.
If you see me in cyberspace stop by and say hi. I may read it in four or five months.

Abandoned...Written April 8th 2006

Dear Aunt Sarah,

A couple weeks ago we stayed the night at Grandma’s and the Uncles house. If you lived closer we would have stayed with you.

This was the week that mom abandoned us.

Mom didn’t abandon us Savannah she was on vacation.

We didn’t see her for seven days she abandoned us Constance.

I could see why she would abandon you Savannah, It all started when we first got to uncles house. He was changing my diaper and putting lotion on my dry skin. Along came baby Godzilla with her new sippy cup. She drops it right on my head…That hurt…

It slipped really it did Constance.

Sure it did.

You got me back Constance the next day. I was watching Reading Between the Lions when suddenly Constance came in and took my newly refilled sippy cup and then ran into the bathroom and threw it in the toilet. Then she walked out like nothing was wrong. Uncle had his hand over his mouth so he didn’t yell at you..

I don’t think he was going to yell at me his shoulders were shaking too.

Uncle does have names for us. He calls Savannah Jaws because of ALL her teeth. And he calls me the Woodchuck because of my four teeth….More will come in….about the same time as the hair.

We did have a good time no matter what Savannah has to say. He played with us and we watched TV but best was when he fed us. We didn’t sit in a chair or at the table but he called it a mini picnic. He put a towel down on the floor and we ate down there. We had pizza, roast beef and potatoes and mac and cheese and for breakfast one day we had French toast and sausage. He said we can’t be Jewish now. Savannah can really suck down the macaroni…She tells people she’s carb loading. Uncle had to make more because she ate all of it.

I’m a growing girl Constance so be quiet… It was ok here, but we didn’t like it when it was time for bed. He had it set up so we each had our own sleeping area. He put me down and then had to catch the Woodchuck and put her down…we laid there until he closed the door then we went over and started looking thru the trash…He must have cameras in there because the next thing he suddenly opens the door and tells us to get back to bed…He said it was like cockroaches when he opened the door and we quickly crawled back to bed.

Uncle did laugh at us in the mornings because we always ended up in the same bed. It was because Constance was scared..

Then why is it that I always woke up with you in my bed Savannah…

You where to scare to move?

Uncle wasn’t to happy when I woke him up one morning. I had the rolling phone with me and took it into uncle’s room. He was sleeping so I hit him in the head with the receiver to get his attention. I just wanted to lay with him because the saw mill Savannah was keeping me awake.

It was fun to stay here because he has windows we can look out of and see the cars and people going past. Also its fun to run from one end of the house to the other…Savannah just stumbles along.

Uncle is alright but he gets this big vein in the middle of his forehead when ever Constance does something dumb…Mom gets it a lot too…

Oh we went in for our 5000 mile check up. Savannah is 2ft 4in and 25 tons…

Pounds Constance its pounds…Constance is short at only 2ft 2in and 18 POUNDS.

I do have a yeast infection it’s not nice.

Well that’s all til later the Cute one and her Sister

Taking a stand

I never really care what the networks do with their show . I've been upset because a show is cancelled but for the most part I know its all business. But NBC has cancelled The Book Of Daniel because of pressure for the religious bigotted nuts. They can't handle it that a show is have a minister and his family as they really are. Messed up.
In college I lived across from a church and couldn't miss seeing what the minister and his family got up to. Bondage,pot smoking and other stuff. So my stand. I will not be watching anything on NBC. One less Nielsen Family.

Dear Auntie Sarah,

You need to talk to the big people here. It has came to my attention that they always stick me in pink. A couple outfits here and there would be ok but my whole wardrobe is pink. I know it goes with my delicate peaches and cream complexion,but I would like a little variety. Savannah gets greens,yellow and purples. Really I think she should stick to black its so slimming and all.

Now I don't want any bold colours because that will just wash me out. I will just be a pair of beautiful eyes floating up there.

Stayed with the uncle Monday. Dad went job hunting. He took us to lunch with a friend. She kept saying I scared her that I never blinked....I just don't want to miss anything. She tried to get me to eat this bitter bread stuff. I wasn't having any of that. I just wanted my crackers.

Then we went to his work and all the people told us how cute we are...I know that....But he wouldn't let us out. I'm walking you know. I need to be free.

When we got back to his house he made us take a nap. Him and Savannah went and laid on the bed. She is getting to be a suck up . I wouldn't lay down but then I do need my beauty sleep so I did shut my eyes for just a moment.

When I woke up I was full of energy. I needed to move. Uncle got smart and opened up the rooms so I could run. I was a clear open run....and then Savannah stuck her foot out and tripped me...she looked all innocent but I know better.

The cute one

Constance.

What's he talking about...Written January 16,2006

Aunt Sarah.

I really think you need to talk to the uncle about something. We stayed at his house last Monday while dad went looking for a job. He kept saying it was an anniversary for us. That it was 1 year ago that he first got us. I thought our birthday was last month.

Anyway the sister and I are both our not feeling good. She has stuff coming out of her nose and she keeps coughing all the time. I’m having trouble breathing in from my nose. The parents got us some medicine to take. It makes us feel better for a time and then sleepy.

Uncle tried to feed us but it hurts going down. He did get some more stuff to play with but I just didn’t feel like it. I would go over to him and pat his leg until I found a soft spot. He has a lot of soft spots on his leg. I’d put my head down and just rest. It feels better to put my head down. Constance is to dumb to do that. She kept hitting her eyes and crying so she didn’t rest. Uncle was reading and I had my head down when suddenly we hear a thud. We both look over and see that dummy had fallen asleep sitting up and had tipped over. She was just laying there snorting with her stuffed up nose.

We for the most part just drank juice all day. Constance did have a big lunch but I didn’t feel like anything. I think she ate so much because she kept going the day before.

Uncle said he was going to show us off to all the people at work. They haven’t seen us in a month. But then he changed his mind he didn’t want to infect any people with our colds. I really think it was because of the snot all over Constance face and he was embarrassed to be seen with her. It didn’t help that she would fight him any time he tried to clean up her face. She not to bright that one.

We slept most of the afternoon. I don’t like a blanket over my arms. The goof likes it up over her head. That was fine it made her wheezing not so loud.

I think we were going to stay at his house later this week but now he has the cold. Grandma did to. I think it was that Constance that gave it to everyone. Dummy
