a postcard for Jenna

January first is a day full of possibilities. Clean slates. Fresh starts. Do-overs. Tabula Rasa if you will.

And so it is with great anticipation that I begin a little adventure of my own. I will write a letter, everyday, for all of 2011. Starting now.

Dearest Jenna,

Well, the beaches are lovely. The “no-see-ums” are decidedly dreadful. My skin is polka-dotted with bites–53 and counting. My new signature scent is OFF. The weather has been quite nice and the people are very hospitable. Last night we reveled in the dawn of a new year with some rum punch and fireworks. And then a few too many vodka sodas…ooops. What more could a girl ask for? You, of course! Wish you were here! I hope your New Year started with a bang…

Love,

Lauren xxo
