I don't plan on carrying this on at home, so that's good. But I had planned to stay up all night, and I almost made it, but I crashed around five, and then couldn't put my contacts in till ten, because I took them out at four. "Mama" and "Momma" sound almost alike. But I still like calling you Momma, so whatever. My friends make fun of me for calling you Momma, and Daddy, Daddy. They keep asking me "You still call your Mom, Momma?" or the same thing with daddy. I talked to Maxine last night on the phone after my slam, and she seemed like she missed me. Actually, I'm going to call you after class today, so that'll be around 3:30, or maybe I'll call in like five minutes, since my class starts at 1:30. But anyways, I called Rachel, and Maxine and Rachel both want to know if they can come hear my student reading, so if you could, PLEASE!!! Oh by the way...I haven't had any coffee today, and I DON'T plan on it either. Eh, WAY too much sugar. Hehe. :P Love ya! Momma,

You going to the 20 year next year??? You guys are MORE then welcome to call me Debbie still. It makes me feel like I'm not almost 40.

For some reason, Momma is different. I don't know why. Who knows how my brain works? Certainly not I. Put down the coffee.

It is Deb (Jones) Simon. ;-) Deb, I remember when you switched, and I have a hard time remembering! And I swear I am still a kid (at least I feel like I am most of the time). ***putting on stern Mom hat in order to address wayward coffee-drinking child*** Autumn Lee Sherwood (Do you SEE that I invoked the middle name? You do know what that means don't you?) Child (and yes you are a child), you need to SLOW down on the coffee. Seriously. I'm not saying you have to avoid it completely this week (but don't expect to start swilling it at home), but you definitely need to avoid drinking six cups in a day. I'm sure the amount of sugar and cream you are pouring into that cup is influencing that "bit hyper" thing you've got going on... ***taking off stern Mom hat*** Autumn, I'm looking forward to seeing your improved reading on Sunday. It was a poetry slam too, right? That IS hard. You haven't done anything like this before have you? It isn't easy to read your work to a crowd, but you will get better. PLUS you've started long before I ever have. Just have fun, and if that works, next time you get up to read, make it a performance. And I do mean a performance. Pretend you are someone else -- it's an acting performance. It helps. Who is your wildest friend that would totally nail this type of thing? Act like HER. What would Katie do? Like you said before, no one there is from your day to day life, which means you have no limits or expectations. You can be who you want to be in that spotlight. ;-) Deanna, you are absolutely right!

Hehe, didn't do my best work first, so I guess I should've. But, you'll be hearing my best work on Sunday at 9:30 am, so BE THERE!!! I've had six cups of coffee today, so I'm a bit hyper, and probably won't sleep. Love you, Autumn Haha, ummmm….I kinda tied with someone for last place.
