Hope you can make it

yeah me too but I will talk to my mom as soon as I see her or find time to talk to her!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to figure out a weekend to go volunteer, possibly the weekend of their Handmaidens meeting. I live only about an hour south of Alhambra, so I may go a few times. My mom's really opposed to the idea, but she says it's my choice. She did sound a little hostile when she said it though...ah, well.

.........anyways

So what's new with you, Sixtina?

It was kinda differnet form other dreams!!!! but yeah, I'm still gunna tlak to my mommy and se ehwat she says. But other than that nothing is new.....How about you??????


Oh yeah, my co worker hit her head on the bars that come out of the wall at a dept sotre,I and I started laughing at her!!!!! SHe did it 2 times!!!!! then we had to fill out an accident report....that was a joke!!!!!!!!!!! we were lauhign at all the weird things they put in it!!!!!!!!! But we decied that if it took us 20 minutes to fill it out, buta person who was bleeding to death could have died waiting for us to finnish the form!!!!

Then again other than that,nothing!!!!!!!!!

So i know how to get to Alton whihc is 20 min from St. louis, but from Alton to St. Louis i need a map!!!!!

lol

try

BTW, how old are you? (just wondering)

I can give you the directions fromt he quad cities...

I'm pretty sure you'd take 74 toward peoria to 155 south to 55 South to I-64/US-40 toward St. Louis...

You take the Lindbergh South exit, and turn left onto Manchester. It's at the intersection of Manchester and Woodlawn. I think there are entrances off both streets (it's hard to see from Manchester because it's farther off the road, but you can see it off Woodlawn)
