I'm confused about the title, but number 13 makes me want to rethink the whole trip thing! Just kidding! Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no spider gross enough, to keep me from getting to you , babe!
mother. you are the cutest thing ever.
Annie--
There is this other really good writer named Annie that I like to read a lot. One time she was trying to chop wood (but not well) while her neighbors watched her. They were a married couple. The man only ever said, " I like to watch Annie chop wood."
We like to watch you chop wood. Keep it up.

Hi Annie - sounds like getting rid of the humungeous spider before the 17th would be smart!! Pizza by Lake Victoria "sigh"!! Sounds glorious - where did you get the Pizza?? If I haven't said it before, Christmas sounds so neat - I know how excited you must be - the rest of the family is. I will be thinking of all of you there, and I will smile... Love you, Nana
Ahh, will you ever get the chance to see Victoria Falls? That is breathtaking.
And YES BAMA is unbeatable apparently. Its your year!!!! I keep watching for you. USC is needing to work a bit harder.
** I work with another ManU fan! Is that how you say it?
The only life goal I've ever defined has always been to see the northern lights!! Did you know that?? Well, that and ride in a hot air balloon and learn to surf. BAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! We're going to see you in like 10 days!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Hooray!!! Hooray! After signing up on googleblogmonster or whatever this site is 1000 times, i think it is finally letting me leave a comment!!!
Annie, what a beautiful writer and face you have--you must compile and publish these blogs.
I miss you!!! But I agree with Nana about the spider!!!
