Hello Again Everyone,
Annie here! Wow, it's hard to believe but another year has whizzed by and it's already time for another update from your favorite 9-year older, me Annie!
Many of you may have heard my Dad's company recently filed for somethin' called 'bankruptcy'. Now I don't really know what that is, but since it sounds kinda bad I can only say, "I didn't do it!", and this time it's even true. And I don't really understand what they call 'economics' neither but I do subscribe to the theory of 'spending your way to prosperity'. I certainly do my part by spending as much of my Dad's money as possible - and what better way to do your part than with an expensive holiday gift for me, Annie!
I played soccer again this year, and despite my Dad's coaching we actually managed a winning season and placed 4th in our division. Most importantly, after a whole season of bribing the officials our coaches still had enough cash to through a swell pizza party for the whole team. We probably coulda won our last game and made 3rd place had the other team not brought their own referee.
I'm still big into gymnastics, and now on the team and compete at gymnastics meets. We have fancy team leotards and fancy team warmup suits which may sound kinda expensive, but I assure you, oh they are! I've competed in three meets so far and have done pretty well and received 11 medals. My Dad said that works out to only costing him like $1000 per medal which I think sounds pretty good because they did come all the way from China... and they're shiny.
Oh, yeah... I'm in school too - almost forgot, just like my homework! I'm still at the Sts. Joan of Arc and Patrick School and in 3rd grade now. I made my First Communion earlier this year when I was still in 2nd grade. My Dad was hoping I can skip a few grades to save money, but if he's not nicer to me I'll be sure to repeat a few.
Well, sadly it looks like that's all the space I have for yet another year. Don't forget to visit me on the web at annie.boytim.com. Have a great 2006!
Hugs and kisses... Ann ie
