Remember how I was all excited about the bowling shoes my mom’s friend was going to give me? I still don’t have them. But I’ve been thinking about those shoes, and wondering whatever became of them. I didn’t say anything to my mom about it, because I knew if she knew anything she’d tell me. And then I decided even if I never got them, the idea of the bowling shoes cheered me up considerably the day I found out about them. (which was a really bad day..when my car wouldn’t start) And maybe just the idea of bowling shoes was good enough. They had served their purpose….or something….

BUT THEN! LAST NIGHT! My mom told me that the person who has the shoes, really does have them, only she’s forgetful and keeps forgetting to bring them. But they do exist and that I will get them eventually.

SO THE DREAM OF BOWLING SHOES IS STILL ALIVE!

If I ever get them. There will be pictures.

And bowling.

(I know you are thinking, why don’t I just buy some bowling shoes. But…I want THESE BOWLING SHOES. These have a history with me now. It’s these bowling shoes or nothing for me.)

Last night, I had THE BEST DREAM! I was in some kind of steampunk setting….but it was a threatening kind of place. It looked pretty, but I knew that I wasn’t supposed to be there. I didn’t have the right documents or passport or something and I didn’t have the proper clothes on. I was wearing pajamas. I knew I would be in trouble if someone saw me. I was sneaking around the city, and I saw The Doctor. He was wearing pink pajamas. HE LOOKED SO CUTE! We stood together over some barrel with a fire in it, and then we snuck into a giant ornate dining hall with ridiculously tall ceilings that looked like it was in a palace. We sat down and waited to be served lunch. Sitting at the table next to us was Mulder and Scully. I stole Scully’s purse. And then the police saw that The Doctor and I didn’t belong and we had to run away. So off we went running through these hallways with high ceilings and wooden floors and then I got trapped in a room. The doctor said he couldn’t save me now, but he would come back later. Before he left, he reached into Scully’s purse and handed me a handful of butterscotch candies. The wrappers on the candies were pages from a book. He told me that I should eat the candy to keep myself entertained. They were all of Shakespears plays. He explained that If I put the butterscotch in my mouth, I’d hear the audio book inside my head. But he warned me not to put more than one in my mouth, or the voices would overlap each other and it would be VERY BAD.

And then he left.

I stood there in this giant room with wooden floors staring at this butterscotch candy in my hand and I could hear the police banging on the door about to come inside and THEN I WOKE UP.

THE END.

My cousin Lindsey is getting married next year. My sister and I are supposed to be in the wedding. The problem with this, other than the fact that I never have much fun being in a wedding, is that it’s going to be in Florida on the beach. I told her the only way I could participate is if she has the wedding in April and if I could carry a white parasol to keep the sun out of my face. So….who knows if I will actually be in the wedding or not. We went to find her a dress yesterday.

Her dress is pretty. The bridesmaid dress is yellow. It’s VERY comfortable and it’s only $80. So that’s not bad. While Lindsey was trying on dresses….my mom and aunt and I played with tiaras.
