because i am wearing a somewhat confusing big flouncy skirt today, i signed an email "laura ingalls wilder." my cubemate was utterly confused. she didn't know laura ingalls wilder, the ingenue of "little house on the prarie." she didn't experience pa's trials on the homestead, she didn't weep when mary lost her vision, or rejoice when mary married almanzo (also blind). she didn't smile with nostalgia every time pa called laura "half-pint." she didn't swoon over dreamy albert, or shiver in fear at mean-on-the-outside-but-kind-on-the-inside mrs. oleson. she never cursed snotty nellie oleson. i think she missed out on the full house of the 1800's. don't you? it was so a-some.

Glad to see that you got away from the "ode to ______" posts. Congrats.

ERK trumped you, Beano. :)
I witnessed the prarie skirt last night and I loved it. I also loved the jorts that CEVOB bought, that SHE HAS TO KEEP. She looks like a dancer at Kellerman's (Dirty Dancing.)
Seriously, how lucky are those bean girls with those ridiculous initials-
love, mkvob
who are you to make fun? Love, CEVOB
