Howdy all!

Well, I'm home from Iowa City. Weeping, weeping. The good news is: I have a job! Yippee!! The Best Father in the World has kindly offered me a job at his office. Job = $$ = Rixie can pay her rent = EXCELLENT news!! So my big plans for the summer are work, work, work and read 50 books. (2 down, 48 to go).

Yesterday was Weston Hulst's graduation reception. I went early and helped Nicole prepare the sandwiches and other food and be in charge of the cake. Then I stood back and pretended I was important and actually doing something. I can't believe he's graduating. Is this the same Weston that used to sit on me when I tried to rescue Nicole from being beat up by him? Is this the same Weston that once picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and then locked me in the bathroom until Nicole got her mom to rescue me? The same Weston that used to kiss my sister on the lips just to make us giggle? I can't believe it!!

One more thing--Miss Rixie's groove score went down two points yesterday after I slammed into the wall while holding one of my dad's matchstick models. Yes, I did indeed smash part of it. Oh dear.
