And I wondered how long she'd be able to carry that thing around. So the bear made it in and then the "flimsiness" of the bear came out and that led to the skeleton. Really, I had no idea how it was going to end, until the end, when Carrie's skeleton showed up.Kgwaitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-53421059889342701112012-04-04T04:45:48.267-07:002012-04-04T04:45:48.267-07:00Thanks, Tara - I've been on this strange sci-f...Thanks, Tara - I've been on this strange sci-fi kick lately.

This piece is classic 'Kelly at her best.' You definitely caught me off guard this morning, but I am so much richer because of it. It's always great to have a mentor we can look upto and aspire to be like. I am blessed to have you as a mentor to follow Kelly.
