My Confession

I told you I loved you. But I’ve been saying the same thing about pickle juice for years and I still don’t know if I mean it.

I can’t help myself.

One thing is certain though. With pickle juice, I can walk away at any time. I can come and go as I please. And I really need that kind of freedom. So, when all is said and done, I think I do love pickle juice and I’m pretty sure I never loved you.

Sorry for the confusion.

"5 inches"-a story.

One mroning I woke up and found I had been sleeping in a big big big big big big big bed. I did not know what to think. Soon I knew I had shrank. I was only 5 inches tall. I fell off the bed and broke my leg. So I rode on my pet beetle to the breakfast table. Just when I was about to have breakfast... the beetle had breakfast on me.

January 1990

My new years resolution was to say prayers more. I got my report card.

Februrary 1990
Though it did not snow I had lots of fun and the groundhog didnt see his shadow. And I did not tell you that my mom is working at church...just kidding!

She is going to get a real job bust she has to work on how to work in the church for three more years. I wish Jason Smith would like me but he took drugs so I'm not relliy intrested. Besides I have to think about the Iowa test.

March 1990
Nothing much happend.

Love,

Olga
