It's a Comic about one of my favorite things!

Turtles!

Mail!

My mail today included one letter thanking me for my participation in a survey and including a genuine two-dollar bill (which are apparently still printed) in thanks for my help, and a letter from my mother. The letter from Home included a newspaper story about baby turtles because my dad had said that "we should send that turtle picture to Hannah". It made me smile

P.S. I have a letter that I need to put in the mail, and I apologize that it's taken me a week and a half to send it, when I finished it last week. Sorry Aaron.

Also, I believe this is my one hundredth post. I think it's fitting in an odd way that this post is about letters and turtles, two important parts of my life...

On Tattoos

Well, not really tattoos, plural. More like tattoo, singular. Because I really think that it's going to happen when I'm in Kalamazoo next week. I'm going to get my turtle! And it's going to look like this:

And it's going to be on my ankle! Also, thoughts on me actually getting a tattoo?

More Turtles!

I thought I would show you my turtles that already have names. Also, I think it would be fun to see if you guys can guess/figure out/remember where the names came from. So I'm not going to tell you why they have the names they do. At least not yet.

1. Fred

2. Cordelia

3. Durnik

4-11. Left to Right: Fuzzy, Jade, Farid, Izzy, Ewoyen, Jack, Tamerlane, Baby Ben

12. Rochester

13+14. John and Henry

15. Polgara

16. Rupert

17. Esther

18. Mark

There is also French the Llama, but I'm too lazy to take a photo of him.

I Need YOUR Help

So one of the things on my Ultimate Accomplishments of Awesome list is to name all of my turtles, but I don't know what names to give them! I have seventeen to name, and I need you guys to give suggestions.

1. Megan brought this little key chain back from Japan for me. It's a little bell.

2. This one is also from Japan, made of wood, also a key chain.

3. From the Nature Connection. I think this one might have a name, but I'm too lazy to go read all of my journals to find it. Made of clear stone.

4. Made of wire, Alyssa gave me this for my birthday, along with French the Llama.

5. A little bobble head turtle. I honestly can't remember where I got this. I have a vague idea of a garage sale... Oh, this is from the garage sale of Jesse's girlfriend's family. I think.

6. I made this out of yarn a year or so ago.

7. A dollar bill turtle, made it eight or nine months ago.

8, 9, 10. These are from Japan, Megan got them for me. Apparently they're supposed to be lucky. In case you can't see one of the little turtles is silver and the other is gold.

11-16. I need to rename these little clay turtles from El Salvador as well.

17. Megan made me this hat, and even though I don't know where it currently is, the turtle on it needs a name.
