Opposite Midge

Opposite Midge is my new name for my dear friend, Rachel@Canada. She is a sweet and wonderful friend and I would be a nearly-complete woman if she would move back to NY. I just wanted you to know how great and absolutely beautiful she is.

Also, you should absolutely be reading her blog, Rachel in Canada. Start with this one featuring me (the original Midge); also check out lettuce-eating Hazel and a funny miscommunication that sounds like it should have happened in the J and L House.

I Wish You the Happiest Day

"I suppose you are real," said the Midge. And then she wished she had not said it, for she thought Raquel might be sensitive.

But Raquel only smiled.

Happy, happy day to my friend Rachel@Canada.

I hope my offspring will be healthy, happy and hairless about the face. Oh, and that it is not mistakenly confused with a bearded midget. That's all.

I chose this picture because you can see my pale, midgey, midge legs.
I chose this text because it, too, is sooo short.
