Postcard from Laurabeard: coming home?
Dear Nibbles, Hi! How are the wedding plans going? I hope everything is going smoothly, but if you need any help, don’t worry about it because I’d be happy to help. How can I help when I’m out in the middle of the ocean on a pirate ship, you ask? Well, guess what? I’m coming home! Dogbeard says that we’ve had such a crazy trip with our trek through the jungle to find Matilda, our discovery of the island where Easter Eggs come from and then that weird business with the stowaway. He thinks that the crew could really use an extended shore leave and we’re both anxious to get home and see our mom and dad. So we’ve set a course for Kinzville and I hope that we will be back in time for Plumpy’s wedding. I really hope so because I so want to be there to see you in your beautiful dress. And Plumpy too, of course! Oh Nibbles! I’m so excited to see you again soon! Love Laurabeard
Plumpy’s wedding prep – flowers and makeup!
Wiggles Pig here. Oh readers, I think Plumpy is starting to get a bit nervous. She keeps calling me to remind me of how much there still is to do. But I’m not worried. We’ve got everything under control. But I did think she could use a break so I arranged for us to meet with Persephone today to help Plumpy choose her make up for the wedding. What could be more relaxing than lying back in a lounger and letting someone else apply make-up to your face, right? At least, that’s what I thought. But it hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. Everything that Persephone does, Plumpy says “Too much! Too much!” I totally get it. I finally pulled Persephone aside and explained that Plumpy just wants a really natural, understated look for her wedding. Persephone is pretty flashy so it took a bit of coaxing, but at the end of the afternoon, Plumpy looked perfect: soft blue eyeshadow to complement her skin tones and shimmering pink lipstick that picked up the color in the sash from her dress exquisitely. Of course, it hadn’t exactly been the relaxing experience I’d hoped for but I knew that our next stop … Read more
Purr-Cilla’s Awesome Party
Dear Diary, I cannot WAIT for my party! You’ll never believe it, but Sparky is actually coming! Of course, he’s bringing his pesky friends with him, but only the three I invited. The other four (Nibbles, Alex, Roberta and that awful Salley Cat) are SO mad. I saw them at recess and they weren’t even speaking to each other! I may have successfully divided the ‘Kinz! HA! I haven’t really heard if many of the other kids are coming. I know Janice and Penelope will be there, and I’m sure that most of the kids I gave invitations to will show up. I mean, please – it’s my party, why would anyone miss it? I’ve got to go and pick out some earrings – mom said she’ll take me to the jewelry store and we can get whatever pair I want! I LOVE birthdays! – Purr-Cilla
A Big Fight
Dear Diary, You are NEVER going to believe what happened in our ‘Kinz meeting today. We had a GIGANTIC fight. In fact, I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive Cowabelle, Molly, Stoogles or Sparky. Want to know why? Because THEY are going to Purr-Cilla’s birthday party. They got invitations today at recess and Roberta, Nibbles, Alex and I? NOTHING! Purr-Cilla just sashayed right on past us with a smug look on her face. Turns out, she gave invitations to practically EVERYONE at school –but not us. She also didn’t give one to Booger, but he said he’d never go to her party anyway. I asked Cowabelle, Molly, Stoogles and Sparky why they’d go to the party of someone so awful and you know what they said? “Because she invited us!” Then Cowabelle said, “It’s not our fault we’re popular. And it’s not our fault Purr-Cilla doesn’t like you.” And I said, “But it IS your choice to go without the rest of us and pretend that you DO like Purr-Cilla!” And Stoogles said, “Maybe you’re just jealous.” And that’s when I stormed off. Me? Jealous? Can you even believe that?! I was SO mad at Stoogles. I was so mad … Read more
An invitation from Purr-Cilla?
Salley Cat here. How is it that even when Purr-cilla thinks she is doing something nice she still manages to be offensive? Today she shows up at school with a stack of invitations to her birthday party and proceeds to hand them out to SOME people. We’re all putting our stuff away in our lockers when she comes marching down the hall. First she goes up to Stoogles and hands him this envelope. He just looked kind of confused. Then she gave envelopes to Cowabelle, Molly and Sparky. When she walked away they all opened the envelopes and it was party invitations! Okay, first of all, since when does Purr-cilla hang out with Stoogles? Secondly, who hands out invitations in front of everyone so that everyone who is NOT invited feels left out? I don’t think they should go and I told them so, but not everybody sees Purr-cilla for who she really is apparently.
