You really need to blog more often - it has become quite the highlight to my otherwise all-too-busy day. The only problem is: IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ENOUGH!
As I sit here eating my Taco Bell-in-a-bowl lunch, I wonder: will my creative little sister let me be her editor when she decides to publish someday?? I may get to put that English degree to work yet...
love,
Your big sister
This is hilarious.
If beth gets to edit and publish, you know i get to do the layout and design!
Love your other big sister
Whitney, this is really great! I loved reading your blog. You're a great writer. I'm glad you had a fun time in Thailand. It was nice having you here.
Love your descriptions!
