Mail from home! I feel like Anne of Green Gables...



My sister is hilarious, I tell you. She sent me two postcards, which she had mentioned the last time she came to see me, saying that the funny part was sending them, so she didn't bring them to me. So one of them (the first one) has a picture of a "Texas Longhorn" on it, with a cowprint background. It looks like something you'd buy at some dusty truck stop/gas station on the way to Tyler, TX or something. The other one features the Rascal Flatts, advertising

THE NEW ALBUM



IN-STORES

EVERYWHERE

OCTOBER 29 2002

Sad isn't it? But she spiced it up with some old west stickers--a sheriff's star, a cowboy hat, and a wanted sign.

And here is what she wrote:



READ THIS CARD FIRST



Greetings From Texas!! (j/k)

anyway...I was writing postcards to Taiwan and I thought I'd drop you a line...(on these gems!) Anyway I was watching Jay Leno and this guy was on talking about how his italian uncle would always have a scam going on...even with mail...He'd write the person who he was writing to's address and name in the sender place on the envelope and put no stamp on the letter...and it'd get sent to the person for incorrect postage...

(see next card...)

READ OTHER CARD FIRST!!



and when the guy was like..."Hey Uncle Eddie...that's mail fraud" his uncle was like "no...that's GENIUS!!" and then I laughed really hard...anyway...I really hope you get both postcards at the same time so they actually make sense...but if you don't get both, just call me for the punch line or the beginning of the joke...well, bye

heart, Monica

Do you love the stickers...or what?!

Isn't she hilarious? I literally laughed all the way back to my room from my mailbox. wow. I feel sorry for people who do not have such witty banter with their siblings.



anyways, let's see. today some strange things happened, not the least of which was the fact that a tiny, spring-green colored worm found it's way next to me in Biology class today. It's funny, cause I had just been thinking about them, how they would hang on their silk strings from trees in my backyard in houston on summer days, and how I would be afraid of walking into them (b/c incidentally they love to hang exactly at face height) and then today in class, I look over, and there one is, just still, and I thought it was dead. Then, in the middle of class it all of a sudden started moving, and I was so surprised I tapped the guy next to me and was like, dude, isn't that sick? but then it started looking cute so I ended up getting it to crawl onto a piece of looseleaf paper (he must have felt at home--get it? looseLEAF? caterpillar?? ok, ok, apparently my sister got the wit and i got the well...nevermind) and I set it free on a tree trunk outside. I wish it well.

But isn't that funny? How did it get into the classroom? anyways, it was an interesting event.
