• GREETINGS FROM HELL…or…SINUS INFECTION!? NOT SLOW THROBBING DEATH??!  Well, after that “how-do-you-do” I’m sure you can surmise just exactly how my spring break has been going.  Let’s see, how would the letter home go…

  Dear Mom and Dad,

  Camp Mucous is great.  The first night someone poured quick-drying cement in my sinuses and the results were hilarious!  My fellow campers made wagers while I rolled over from side to side, betting on the amount of time it would take for the solid mass in my frontal cranium to settle on one side or the other.  Woo!  What fun.  My low-grade fever gave me rosy pink cheeks and sparkly (glazed) eyes, so the cute boys are really noticing me.  My new nickname is “Wheezy” and my lungs make this totally awesome squeeking noise waaay after I think I’m done exhaling – really handy for spooky night-time campfires.  Creepy!  Donny snuck in some DayQuil and Advil so we’re making hot-tea cockt-ils.  I’m getting a lot of excercise, well not really excercise, but my body is in constant motion with all the shivering, sweating, shivering again.  Did you know that not much of the camp food contains enough salt or sugar for me to actually taste it?  I poured tons of Tobasco on my food yesterday, hoping for a tastebud to respond, but it just “tasted like burning,” to quote that guy with glasses.  Please send Auntie Biotic to visit me so I don’t perish from fun!

  Love,
  Kim “my skin hurts” L.

  p.s.  I suspect all of my upper right teeth are falling out of my head.  The camp brochure was right – a full body retreat!
