I wish I had kept that somewhere. It would bring me a great deal of joy. I'm more sad that you sort of dropped out of art to hang out with the dumb science fair boy who only wanted to have science fair girlfriends who lived in Indiana. I'm pretty sure he was doing bad, bad things with that science fair girl. I suppose it's for the best that he broke up with you even when you weren't "going out" (idiot).Gracie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903947461479524540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-22742604097806201232008-04-24T10:24:00.000-06:002008-04-24T10:24:00.000-06:00Dang, Jessica, you weren't supposed to tell people...Dang, Jessica, you weren't supposed to tell people about how I'm a quitter!!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045958241240870948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-66546008305045424782008-04-24T09:55:00.000-06:002008-04-24T09:55:00.000-06:00Awesome Nancy!

Megan is a good runner too, only she'll get way too sad if I say what kind and my sister Melissa is right...I never wanted to hang out with my sisters when I was a teenager, but now I love them ever-so and would hang out with them every day if I could. If you've stopped drawering, you really should start again. You were always the best artist in Cap'n Colton's class, even if you were late every day and dropped out of A.P.

I love your guts!<BR/><BR/>Also, Marzee, yes, we love to adopt in. In fact, we always are trying to proclaim someone as a newly adopted sister even when they probably don't want to be . . . so, you know, as long as you are willing to put up with loads of loud talk and loud laughter (how else could we get a word in with so many siblings), you are in. . . .besides I don't like the sad cold girl out on Christmas eve image.

I'm still a little jealous of your sisterhood, but I'm glad you really appreciate them and enjoy them because you do deserve them! (In a nice way of course). By the way please never stop your blog. I love it far too much to live without. Oh, and as someone who longs to be a good artist, and has witnessed your earlier art days, I want to see some of your recent drawings pronto!

Do you accept adopted sisters? ;) Stinks to be on the outside lookin' in. (Picture a lonely ragged little girl - with big doe eyes - peeking in through your childhood home - on a snowy holiday night when you 5 sisters were singing "Santa got ran over by a reindeer" while having a pillow fight and enjoying hot chocolate - that's me - lonely and crying - shivering from the lack of sisterly affection - boo hoo! - I so could have nailed the reindeer chorus! ha!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-35628785690756174872008-04-22T20:20:00.000-06:002008-04-22T20:20:00.000-06:00What cool e-mails those are!

I think it's great when you become an adult and can appreciate your sisters, instead of despising them for stealing your clothes or having them ignore you because you're just a lowly freshman in high school and they're a senior. (Not speaking of anyone in particular there, of course, ahem...Jess!)
