Okay sparklepants, you win. I get the carrot costume and invisible dog though.
Being in her presence reminds me that there's so much to explore in this world... and that my vocabulary needs some serious brushing up!
Keep smilin J!
;o) -- btw, this is a winking emoticon.
Jessamine (I call her Jie Jie) has been
the c-raziest but most awesome
seestah. For a certain period in her
teen years, Jessamine yearned to be a
Broadway diva a la Lea Salonga
in "Miss Saigon." Well, I'm glad she's not
playing tuneful Asian war
brides...rather, we now compose our
own spontaneous off-key operettas of
improvised lyrics - give us a word and
we'll sing and dance your ears off!
Viva la Yawp YAWP Sisterhood!!!
Here's to our creative futures as writer
and artist!
with just a wee bit of devilishness to boot.
She wears shoes and attempts knitting projects
that would send lesser mortals (i.e., me)
home crying to mama. Not only can she
accomplish the impossible, yarn- and
footwear-wise, she always looks damn
fabulous while doing it.
