I have my writing mojo back!  Last weekend did the trick, from learning about the publishing industry on Thursday to an awesome time at Mary’s house reading her new play on Friday and Saturday, I got the kick in the butt I needed to go out and write.

So why so long to post this week?

Painting.  And more painting.  The girls’ room is being transformed from a baby room to a young girls’ room.  The wall paper border is down, and the walls are primed.  I just did the trim today, and soon will be taking on the ceiling and the yellow for the walls.  Then it’s just making curtains and a headboard, and we’ll be done.  I hope.

So, instead I give you a few things related to Kirstin.

She is raising money for Jump Rope for Heart again.  She explains it all in this video:

And of course she had a lot of flubs, so we included them in a second video:

And then some writing of hers from the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s house:

RECIPE:
This is for making your sister mad.  Take her head and put it down. This should create the claw moment.  Next, say mean things.  It should make her even more mad.  It should create the hiss moment.  Last, say “Na na na na boo boo.”  It should piss her off.  I have tried this and it works.

Bye,

Kirstin

I talked to her about the one word in there.  She knows it’s not really appropriate for school.  I think she was having some issues with Emily at the time in which she wrote this.  I’m not sure what my first clue was.

I’ll be back again after the painting is all done.  This weekend should get it finished up.  Thanks!
