In reply to Savannah. This is the truth: I have not sat at my computer and laughed this hard for years. You are a poet. You are a writer. You are a comic. You are a dear. And I pray that you will never be Savannah Penix. "LOL" just took on a whole new meaning for me. ILYTCAF.

Stinky feet, earthworms, rude postal workers, hot offices, pillows that don’t scrunch up just the way I want, beets, Toms shoes covered in glitter, stamps that won’t stick, school, the feeling of being unprepared, not taking advice when you ask for it, apple pie gum, refusing to listen, pimples, the water that dead flowers have been sitting in for too long, fat rolls, fat of any kind, stepping on a slug, twisting my ankle(s), breaking my favorite salt and pepper shaker, my own laziness, the smell of nail polish remover and graduate school.

P.S. I love Ted Dekker, moist white bread, grapefruit, lentil everything, gumdrops, well-done steaks, and tuna and how did you know that I’ve been hoping all along to marry someone with the last name “Penix”…..

(Ok, the last one was too much. I can’t control my laughter. Imagine me gasping for breath at the thought of being “Savannah Penix.” Oh Lord, calm me.)
(But I do like all the other things.)

In reply to Helen in Switzerland. Helen, If you would make your best lentil dish I would try very hard to like it. I've done that with other things! When I moved to MN in 1981 I didn't like eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, or fish, and now because I kept trying, I like them all! :)
