SUNday

too bad i couldn't sport this new doo last night. i felt like pippi longstocking |a favorite children's book of mine and you wonder why i'm so quirky...welcome to pippi: an absurd and rollicking story of pippi who lives without any grownups in a little house at the edge of the village. not that she lives alone, mr. nilsson, the monkey, and Horse live there too; and Tommy and Annika from next door spend as much time with her as possible. and who wouldn't, for with pippi around you just never can tell what might happen next.| i think now, as an adult, i see more why i must have liked this book so much as a child. her powers of invention are second to none. and i still have this sense of creativeness abouts me. the last sentence in this book is 'i am going to be a pirate when i grow up? are you?' i always said i wanted to become a pharmacist. what about you? now, i work in the hotel industry as a senior sales manager. i plan events for a living with a little of pippi in me all the way.
