Quick announcement

Ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu! This is late so very late frickin school getting in my way with homework!

Dear Maine,

Hey! It's ya sista Illinois! Whats up? I haven't seen ya in forever! The

weather over here has been all wacky ever since the big talk about global

warming and since it's getting closer and closer to 2012

. . . Eesh! Its giving me shivers just thinking about it! Anyways, hows

everyone doing? i haven't been visiting anybody lately . . .

Oh sorry! Keep getting caught up in my own thoughts! Silly me! Um, i've read

some of your letters you've been giving (I'm sorry please don't think i'm a

stalker!) and a lot are saying to come and visit. Well, i'm gonna say the same

thing! You should come over and we can go to my capital and a hotdog eating

contest! That sounds fun! Well talk to ya later gal!

Ya loving sista,

Alexis M. Jones (Illinois)

Dear Illinois,

Nothing much has been up just dealing with economy like everyone else. This is also true that we haven't seen each other in forever! We NEED to change that. Has Dad been putting that 2012 crap in your head again? There must be a logical reason about the Mayans really! I don't really know how everyone is doing just a few letters I've gotten from some of the other states say there fine, but who knows. Also, don't worry about the letter reading seems like everyone reads them when they visit sometimes (I'm talking about you England!). That would be fun to come and visit! (we should avoid telling Dad bout the hotdog eating contest we would be broke after a while..) I could also show you my England impression! It was nice talking to someone again!

With that sisterly love flying,

Isabella M. Jones
