This week was Jolyn's birthday. She says she turned 25. But I have my suspicions that she's actually one of those immortal people who sticks around until others begin wondering why she never ages and then she moves on to a new town and starts her rein of terror over.
It's really no surprise that Jolyn Metro's birthday is so close to Halloween. Which reminds me--please tell me someone is dressing up as the Queen of Colors and/or The First Eye for Halloween this year. I don't know why I said "and/or." I don't know how you could dress up as The First Eye AND the Queen of Colors. The world would probably explode.
We went to dinner last night to celebrate the birthday. I gave Jolyn this gift, which I turned a used book store upside-down to find:
Jolyn: [Rolls eyes] I already HAVE this book!
Eli: If it was anyone else, I would think you were joking.
Happy birthday Jolyn. You don't look a day over infinity.

ReplyDeletePlease tell me that book has copies of the original ads in it! I would seriously be interested in reading that!

ReplyDeleteAgreed. I'm speechless. Where I can find FIFTY of those?
DeleteI'm just glad that mail order brides have improved over the years.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to spend the rest of my day trying not to figure out how I could make The First Eye happen. Brain, stop wandering . . .
ReplyDeleteHey, I wrote that book!
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to tell Jolyn something!?
ReplyDeleteAndddddd I just ordered it off Amazon. Can't wait! If it's good enough for Jolyn, it's good enough for me!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever considered that Jolyn might actually be a garden gnome? You know one of the the thinner, super adorable ones? Jolyn you make evil look positively heart warming girl!! You also have great hair, is this a Utah thing?
ReplyDeleteWhy are her eyes so dilated?
ReplyDeleteIt could be a sign of interest in a certain someone that she's currently looking at.
