Laura - I loved the poem
Katie - I hope that you have a safe move to New Orleans this weekend.

I have decided to go to Colorado for a couple of days this week so maybe something cool will happen there. I will also be adding teena to our blog so we will have more people writing and keeping us company in the years to come. That's it for today, I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer thus far and I wish us luck to come for the following year.

Love, Margaret

be proud of me!

Hey chicas--

Are you proud of me? I joined our blog today. And I'm posting. I'm slowing creeping into the modern world, I suppose. And I'm giving you something to read, Katie.

I do not have a good nickname, so I had to go with perti-- in case any other Laura's join, which would have gotten confusing had I used the name Laura.

A poem for you:

roses are red
violets are blue
I like my friends
especially you two!

Haha. I realize that this post is a little pathetic, but it will get better when I have more things about which to write!

Enjoy the lovely weather. Peace!

Hello ladies,

I'm so glad we're going to be making this space for ourselves in the digital world. I really liked seeing both of you on Friday - it was quite the welcome diversion from my previously uneventful summertime. This week should be really busy for me - I'm going to be flying down to New Orleans to find a place to live...yikes. I'm rather new to this blogging thing, so I think I'll leave this post in its currently short state.

Oh one more thing... "bones"? I'm sure there's a wonderful story behind that, Margaret. The greatest nickname I ever acquired in college was "tripZ". Nothing nearly as catchy as bones, though :) I'll let ya'll know what NOLA is like - My only hope is that the bugs down there aren't too dreadfully big.

oh, and in my posts will always show up as from bones, it's what my friends at school have been calling me lately in case you were wondering.
