She's a little rusty on her posting skills, but I'm guiding her on any corrections she might want to include in her future posts :-) I told her Erika was in search of more folks to shanghai for her pirate crew, so she figured she'd save herself the trouble of being dragged onto the ship by simply volunteering her services If you want to know where the "sailor elf" nickname came from, she came home from her grandparents' house yesterday with this nifty little beach hat, that she turned the brim up on, turning it into a makeshift sailor's hat. She looked a bit like an elf wearing it, so I was referring to her as "sailor elf" during our ride home :-) I finally got STD the other day, and I like it a lot, actually.
