Maggie's Memos: So ready for my Khakis!!

Feeling MUCH too cute for comfort!

This has been such a long week.  Mama has hardly had time for us at all, she's been so busy.  Even worse then that, Mama got all these "cute" dresses on eBay for us.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I don't have anything against dresses...as long as I don't have to wear them too often.  I've always been more of a blue jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  The only time I really enjoy wearing a dress is when I'm in a costume, playing a part.  But a floral print dress with a poofy skirt, just because?  Ick!  I feel like I'm Pollyanna or something.  I wish Mama realized how utterly humiliating this is. 

I talked to the others to see if we could revolt together, but no one else seemed to be bothered.  I figured at least Emily would be on my side, since she's the active, sporty type.  But no, she doesn't mind getting dressed up.  Lucky her.  Of course, Tess is loving every minute of it.  She's the most girly girl I know.  It's kinda funny that we ended up being such close friends when we're total opposites!

Anyway, I've decided to stick it out for another day or so.  I don't want to hurt Mama's feelings when she's been so nice.  If she doesn't get me my old clothes back in another day or so, though, I'm going to protest.  I don't think I've worn a dress for this long in my life!

Nothing much to report other than the dreaded dresses.  We're all just kind of waiting for October to be over.  None of us celebrate Halloween.  Mama's family, like mine, doesn't believe in celebrating the holiday.  I agree myself, but I must admit it's really hard when all my friends at school are talking about costumes and candy.  At least Tess is in the same boat.  I just wish we had a different day to dress up.  Mama was thinking maybe around New Year's we'd try to have a costume party, just for us girls.  I hope it works out. 

I'm ready for cooler weather that actually feels like fall and Thanksgiving and Christmas!!  I can't believe they're just around the corner. :) 

Okay, not much more to say...now that I'm done complaining about my attire.  Gotta go for now...Ella wants to look up some stuff on eBay.  Someday, Tess is hoping to get her own computer so she and I can blog as much as we want without interruption.  We haven't convinced Mama yet.  See you later!

Mama, why couldn't I have tried on THESE new clothes?
