The Hailee Marie

You remember this guy...
Mr. Chair
I almost gave up on him.
He was hard... esoteric... and obscure.
(I just looked those words up on thesaurus.com)
Too byzantine for my life right now.
That is... until Nat showed up (my besty from HS).Nice sketch, eh? We were in AP Art. I didn't pass.

Anyway, just her presence instilled in me a sense of creative percipience.
So Bowen and I got out our tools and just started rippin'.
Notice the concentration.After hours and hours of total reconstructive surgery Mr. Chair became and utterly glorious and fabulous splendor of femininity.
A 'pretty' if you will. (I just read the Uglies)I therefore dedicate this chair to Hailee Marie (Nat's 2nd born).
The Hailee Marie will shine as a beacon of effeminateness in a house full of machismos.

Let it be said that I will NEVER do that again.
(most definitely a lie).
It was operose, to say the least.

Hey Marie, Kristi and I are going to be in St. George this weekend and were hoping that we could stop by some time to see you guys? I tried calling Bryan the other day but I realized that I have his Florida number. Could you get me his number or have him give me a call, 801-608-6800. We were also hoping that you guys could recommend to us a great restaurant for our anniversary.
