I am an orphan girl...

I've no mother
no father
no sisters
no brothers...

Just kidding, I have all of these, in abundance! I was just at a concert last night and this was part of the last song she sang. I just thought I'd see if I could trick you guys into thinking an imposter had hacked into our blog. Sneaky.

My intent in posting is actually not to trick or deceive, but rather to find truth. I desire pure knowledge, and I seek it from those whom I know have already attained great wisdom and understanding - yes, you, my dear family. My heart tells me that here, my deepest burning quest will soon come to an end. To all who are scattered among the lakes of Minnesota and the trees of northern Michigan:

When are you coming home?

~and~

What are we getting for all these people who are having special occasions like birthdays and "I survived six kids" days and "I'm not sure I'm still alive but I have a B.A." days?

I suggest s-p-e-l-l--i-n-g some things out if you'd like to keep them a secret from the you-know-who's. (King D and DJ Bacon)
