ANOTHER Future Book (Maybe)

  Sitting in the near empty room made me think of my parents' bedroom back at home.  A couple of weeks ago my parents received a mysterious phone call from somewhere in Australia.  My parents immediately started packing, and forty eight hours later, they were on a first class flight to Australia.  They couldn't take me with them, so here I am at my aunt's house.  Aunt Kaley lives alone because of the recent death of Uncle Mike.  He died from a heart attack in his late forties.  The doctors don't know how it happened so early, but it did.  Aunt Kaley still hasn't gotten over his death.  And I wouldn't expect her to either.  She loved Uncle Mike more than life itself.  Anyways, here I am in the navy blue guest room.  All that's in here is a queen size bed, a gray dresser, and a small night side table.  My small suitcase sits at the foot of the bed along with a worn stuffed frog.  Mom and Dad bought it for me when I was younger.  His yellow crown that Mom made for him is falling off, and one of his eyes is missing.  His name is Flopsy, and I can't remember a moment without him.


  I have so many introductions to books that I'm never gonna finish tucked away in a drawer.  See, I love writing the beginning, but I never know what to do with the rest.  Last night I was really bored, but it felt to early to go to bed.  So I pulled out my steno pad and a pencil and started writing.  Ta-da!

Ta-daa!!!

It's a Compostion Book Cover!  My mom and I just finished making it tonight.  Well, mostly my mom.  I have a very short attention span...

The cover has pockets for pencils, buisness cards, a page marker, and a big pocket on the front for paper, or pretty much anything else.  Since I don't use buisness cards yet, I can just use it for erasers.  Oh!  It also has a latch on the side to keep it shut.

Anyways.  I guess it's time to tell everybody that I never actually finished that messenger bag that I was talking about.  I didn't even start it.  I was looking at the pattern for the bag, and it said that it would be good to use canvas.  So while I was thinking it over, I decided that there would be a lot of heavy books to carry back and forth, so there was no way that my 100% cotton fabric would survive the first couple of months.  So I used it on my Compostion Book Cover.  I need to use up that 3 yards somehow! 

4-H Records FINISHED

All done!  Freedom!  Yay!!!

Sneak Preview of Future Book (maybe)

      I walked down the empty halls.  I had an eerie feeling.  Something about walking around alone, while the lights seem to get dimmer and dimmer, always gives me the creeps.  It's like what you would see in a horror film.
     "Allie!" I jumped a mile.  I had thought the school was empty.
     "Allie, wait up!" I didn't know who was calling me.  So, I did the sensible thing.  I ran.  I sprinted.  All the way to Mr. Wilkonsin's classroom.  Mr. Wilkonsin's biology class had always made me feel at home.   I understood what he was talking about.  It wasn't like learning a foriegn language.  (Which is WAY harder than what you might think.)  I squatted in the far corner, and tried to remain quiet.  Then, I replayed the voice over and over in my mind.  It started to seem vaguely familiar.
    "Allie? Where are you?"  I didn't speak.
    "Allie! It's me, Kim."  Bits of my mind finally started to find their places.  I knew that name.
    "Remember me?  From Miss Jonie's third grade?  We were best friends."
    I crept out of my hiding place.  Kim was my best friend.  She had moved away during the summer and had left me crying for weeks.
     "Kim?" I stammered.
     "Allie!" She cried.  "Why did you run?"
     "I...I didn't know it was you.  What are you doing here?" I managed.
      "Looking for you of course!"  Kim said happily.  "What are you doing here?"
      "I forgot something in my locker.  But I got it." I lied.
      "Okay, then let's get out of here.  This place is starting to give me the creeps."
