Since Michele hasn’t written to update everyone on her and Kim’s whereabouts, I will take the lead. As of noon, Pacific Standard Time, our girls were in Mt. Vernon, Illinois taking in the sights, smells, and sounds of the annual Watermelon and Corn festival. You might think you are getting fun pictures of this later, but you’re not. Apparently, the sights at Illinois’ Watermelon and Corn festival involve neither watermelon nor corn. Not in real size, super giant size, or mini size. Only scads of cheerleaders and a giant blow-up Scooby Doo – which I’m pretty sure we have all seen before.
After all of this excitement, their original plans involved heading down south to Nashville, but then they realized that they could visit me instead! I believe Kim’s exact words were, "Nashville can suck it." So they called me and told me the plan and I said, "Yes indeed, Nashville CAN suck it. I am cooler than Nashville any day." So there you have it. They are rolling in Tuesday afternoon and spending the night. Saweet.
If anyone else wants to join us, come on over! No need to call ahead.
Michele didn't want to look like a perv taking pics of all the cornfed midwest cheerleaders. Why she starts caring about these things now, I do not know.

the scooby doo, fyi, was a small one. not giant. it was like....the size of a fat baby. maybe 6 months old. i could have eaten it. if it was a baby and not a balloon.
and the reason i didn't write about it is because there is no free internet in this country. none. i hate this country. california should be it's own country. but now i am at a friend of kim's in charlottesville, virginia. and she has internet. yes. beautiful, beautiful internet.
jolie- i'll be seeing you. soon.
jason- i'll be seeing you in pink.
kristen- meem sworry.
