I just emailed Oprah!
yes that's right, i absofriggenlutely just sent an email to Oprah. why? cuz we (em, al, and i) just made twenty zillion christmas cookies and one of them was a ginger-woman Oprah. yes it was stunning. i'm hoping you can see the picture of it here:

in other news i get to learn to knit! merry christmas from allie, she's gonna teach me, she even got me knitting needles and yarn and everything. plus a gift card for best buy so i can start replacing my cd's. and miss em blossom made me the most beautiful picture frame on the planet (the two stunning mugs inside of it don't look to shabby either) as well as Friends trivia game, but not just any game it's got all 10 seasons on it...i'm sooo gonna win at that game ("go team monica..ok well we can work out the name later")
essk but even more exciting was what emily got allie that i've been trying soo hard to keep secret: a copy of the ORIGINAL Newsies script SIGNED by Christian Bale and David Moscow...how amazing, and em was the only bidder for it on ebay- people don't know what they're missing out on!
changedfish- o my goodness that's a lot of cookies
