Hi there! the reason i'm writing this is that i got a window box!
let me explain. i recently read in a magazine that waking up to flowers
every morning is supposed to be good for you. so i decided to save
up for a bouquet for my nightstand. when i told mom about it,
she said that since bouquets keep dying, why don't i get a window box instead?
so the next day dad and i went to home depot and bought a window box,
potting soil, and some petunias. they look wonderful, and we even got some petunia seeds
for next year! but we only just put them in, so we don't know if they'll do okay or not.
wish them luck!
oh, and about sock dolls.
i recently gave yubaba to owen, and guess what he did? he sewed her pants!
i made a headband, and he gave her a short ponytail, so now she's the "exercise doll",
who helps all the other dolls get into shape. thanks to her, Octavia can do a backflip! :-P
on a last note, today i woke up with a sore throat. well, not sore... more like painfully scratchy,
and just on the back of my throat. anyway, apparently hot tea really is a miracle cure for such things. well, enough rambling. bye!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED
hi, everyone. i'm bored today.
do you know what i feel like doing, though?
i feel like eating coffee ice cream and reading one peice.
i've ordered the next two one peice's from the library
for me, and the next few that owen's reading, but they haven't come yet.
so with no new material, my "head movies" have pretty much reached a point
where all there is is re-runs. i did come up with a new one, though.
in the realm of a tv show i watch, i'm Bridget the Fey! heh.
anyway, i've been making sock monsters lately.
so far there's Octavia, Zeniba, and Yubaba. i would have made more, but
i ran out of socks. So far Octavia is my favorite. her name used to be Mabel,
but she looks more like an Octavia than a Mabel.
the hardest part to get right was her hair. last night i was reading in bed
waiting for my bedtime, (it was around 11:25 and mom was already asleep)
when i looked at Octavia's hair, (which at that point looked really weird)
and thought to myself, "how can i make this better?"
so i snuck downstairs and brought up the sewing stuff, and got to work.
for a while i was scared that i would make her hair worse while trying
to make it better, but i'm glad i tried. it came out so cute!
i'll try to get pictures, but right now the camera's busted.
on another note, i think i'll try getting my brother to read
Akiko. this is Bridget, signing off!
