Alyssa's Journal
FOUND by Vanessa Burgett
in Austin, Texas
While at a conference for work, a group of other attendees wanted to go to this thrift store. I was the only one to find something.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I've heard people say you can really conquer those seven deadly sins by calling them out & talking to telling them to go away!
(It's never worked for me though sadly)
Fun find! Great for Monday!
Ugh...I meant to say/write "calling them out & talking to them - telling them to go away!"
I don't get 'me' time very often...so I'm not typing well right now.
I used to have a children's book called "Go Away Big Green Monster." Perhaps the inspiration for this find? Or perhaps it's more akin to the other way around?
Oh, that*s so sweet!
the date is "Alyssa" it reminds me of that Law Of Attraction, if you intend for the monster to go away, it will...also i like capital letters
Someone must not be a Redsox fan :)
And I thought I only had to worry about the Blue Meanies.
We LOVED Go Away, Big Green Monster! (http://tinyurl.com/32xc45 - search the pages inside, it's SO cool!)
I wonder what my big green monsters are, so I can tell them to go away? This morning, it's procrastination by computer...
In regards to the spam question... EVERY month comes before July! Last July came before *this* July!
I think Alyssa must be a Yankees fan.
You go, Alyssa! Tell that monster off! Or remind yourself to read this book! Yeah! (Whew, too many espressos this AM.)
Ed Emberly has always been a favorite of mine.
Total opposite from yesterday.
Kids can be sweet & kids can be cruel.
Wonder who the big, green monster was?
That's a surprising comment coming from someone in Austin, Massachusetts.
*having a childhood flashback of his mother's anal retentive organization*
OMG-every time we wanted to read a book, Mom would make us "check it out" of the "home library" by writing our name & the title on a paper slip and then giving it to her for her file folder.
That wasn't really as bad as having to borrow money from Grandma to pay the hefty fines she'd slap on us if we were overdue in returning it to it's shelf. (In alphabetical order of course!)
*shutters from the memory*

OOPS! Sorry about the double post.
See? See what that memory does? I'm a nervous wreck....I just know I forgot to return something to the family library all those years ago....I just know it.
Aw well...she'll just put it in her will I'm sure.
I bet this is exactly what this is, Kevin. Although, this mom isn't as anal as yours, if she lost the note. I wonder if Alyssa ever returned the book, or if she kept it forever, because mom lost the checkout slip.
Here's kevin's mom's will.
To Kevin, i leave him the remainder of my estate. However, he will be fined one quarter daily for not returning "The Big Green Monster" with compounding interest of 5%. Which leaves him nothing. My estate will be threfore donated to the Carnegie Library.
"Come back, tiny yellow doggy!"
The paper makes me feel like I should be buying someone tampons.
All of these comments are cracking me up today.
Turbo - wouldn't the paper then read:
"Buy me some f-ing tampons damnit! And a pint of chocolate ice cream, and a pak of Reeses Peanut Butter cups...and a box of tissues & the DVD of Titanic - Damnit!"
I'm just guessing...I'm certainly not like that of course....just guessing.
Mona Lisa - you have no idea....*sniff*
(This was just too much today....I got an ER appt. my therapist.)
Mom IS probably doing that...all with a nice, sweet smile on her face....you know.."because it's for your own good...to teach you principles...." *bawls & says something that's unintelligable*
:)
I can give you a 2:30 tomorrow...
lol..poor Kevin...

We looooove the Big Green Monster in Boston! Even when Manny is peeing on it.
Hey, Jealousy
This reminds me of that Dead Milkmen song, Big Lizard in My Backyard.
"Big Lizard in my backyard, Can't afford to feed him anymore. Big Lizard in my backyard, Bustin' down my neighbors door."
hahaha! these are the best comments, ever! such a relief from my PMSing (hey, Turbo, where the hell are those tampons?)Anyone mind if I share about my B.G.M? I practically got in a fight with this woman last night who sold us a camper with crappy brakes, and now I'm obsessing about it! Kevin, can I borrow your shutters for my memory? You all make me feel SO MUCH BETTER!
Sean:
I bought a big lizard, only a dollar fifty,
Well, that's pretty neat, that's fuckin' nifty,
But I just can't afford to feed it,
And you should see the way it shits!
It's so big, black, and bold! I LOVE IT!
i love the cloud stationery! :o)
Lalaine, is that how you like your men, too?
Holy shit I had that exact same diary paper as a kid!
the big green monster caught me last night.
the green monster is jealousy.
i has that same stationary when i was younger!!
That is the name of a book by Ed Emberley. Little kids love that book for some reason.
Red Sox Rule!
You should be afraid of the Green Monsta!!!
I never read that one, but I loved Harold and the Purple Crayon. My sister checked it out from the library when we were little and never returned it.
i find it ironic that this is written on the bubbliest, and happiest, looking piece of paper. also, that the paper happens to be blue
