Also, I was apparently aneorexic in 2nd grade

"In the new year, I want to do better in school. And I want to get thiner. Espeshely my legs."

This would be kind of sad, but anyone who has seen pics of me at that time would think it hilarious because I had a serious case of chicken-legs.

Revisiting the 2nd Grade Journal

At the request of my sister-in-law, entries from the 2nd grade journal that mentions my brother:

"It's the new year! Time for school. and it's time for my brothers birthday! And I have to biye him a present."

*Illustrated with an amazing sketch of me giving presents to my brother who is seated upon what appears to be a throne.

"If it snowed all day today, I would buld a snow man. And have a snowball fight with my freinds and little brother. And make snow ice crem. And mama would give us hot chocochlate. I whould be so much fun."

"On spring break I went to my Dady's house. He took me to my Grandmother's house. My Grandaddy and my brother and I went for a walk. And saw beautiful fower's."

Susannah Stomping Diaries-12:51am 12/14/11

Susannah, WHAT JUST HAPPENED in your place???? I thought the ceiling was going to cave in. Now I just hear what sounds like walking around. And a voice...Andi once told me when you guys get crazy you sometimes jump up and down on the floor and yell, "April B!!!!!" Is that what is happening?

Seriously, what are you doing right now?

12:51am

xo,

April B

Susannah's response:

"I read your post so I decided to say hi. My friend is over and we are walking about with wine."

My 2nd Grade Christmas Journal Entries

Since Susannah is either not home or wearing slippers at the moment, here is more literary gold from my 2nd Grade journal.

Dec. 3 "Christmas is hear and I'm glad. I licke Christmas you get toys. But I like Christmas because it is Jesuses Birthday." (Jesus is spelled with a backwards "J")

Dec. 9 "Only 14 days until Christmas. I can't wait. Christmas Eve is here in only 14 days. I want a doll, unicorn, teddy bear, clothes, She-er Cristle. ("She-er Cristle" I think means "She-ra Castle." I did get it. But I'm still waiting for the Unicorn.

Dec. 11 "I smell Christmas smells and this is what I smell-chocolete, canndy can pie, and that is what I smell."

Suannah Stomping Diaries 12.9 #3

We have an answer! Susannah just Facebooked me the following:

"Hahah i'm semi-dancing (can u hear the music? i've repeated this song about 9 times) and i'm getting dressed to have a friendly visit with my ATTORNEY ! -I'm also semi-organizing my stuff to babysit Eden tonight- I have witch above the ankle black boots on (forgive me)"

You are forgiven Sudah. Because I CAN hear your music, and I approve. xoxo

NOW what are you doing Susannah? My guess is hammering or marching?

The Susannah Stomping Diaries #1

I love my upstairs neighbor, the fab Susannah "Sudah" Jones.

But Susannah is a stomper. Fortunately I really don't mind. She's asked me to call if it ever bothers me, but I never have because it really doesn't. But it DOES fascinate me. Most loud neighbors have a pattern. I can't figure out Susannah's. So because I have not been blogging much lately, and Susannah agreed to it, I am going to use this blog to figure out what the heck Susannah is doing!

12:45pm: Susannah, are you okay? It sounds like you fell over.

12:59pm: Okay, now it sounds like you are just walking around, so I guess you are okay.
