Check on wine and food event in NO at the end of may.
from a 225 phone number, Thursday, April 30, 9:49 PM

225 is Louisiana, so I assume NO means New Orleans. Don't know what wine and food event this would be, though. I was not invited.

I have your keys! Ya in yet?

Sounds like one Leila's going to have some trouble starting her car...

Hey is jessie cant have a sleepover do you think maybe you could?
from a 774 phone number, Thursday, April 30,6:01 PM

No. I refuse to be your second choice like that. I won't sit back and accept being treated this way!

swine flu is killing me
from a 520 phone number, Thursday, April 30, 4:39 PM

References to and jokes about swine flu spread faster than the flu itself. Memes are a powerful force.

It was one said that a black man would be president "when pigs flew" indeed 100 days into Obama's presidency...swin flu!! Haha

Um. I'll give them points for the pun, at least.

Do u have a calcqlator i can use
from a 703 phone number, Wednesday, April 29, 9:27 AM

Yeah, I have my TI-83 at my office, but, inexplicably, my co-workers always laugh at me when I use it for addition. Be warned, 703: If I lend it to you, people might laugh at you, too.

i planed the whole thing out we are going to go to the mall and watch a movie, and then after that were going to eat at chipotle!!!
from a 703 phone number, Tuesday, April 28, 5:18 PM

I actually do this sort of thing a lot: Plan out a series of mundane activities and then get three exclamation marks worth of excited because, somehow, this series of events strikes me as perfect. Like last Saturday, when Heddle and I were all, "We are going to sit in the park! And then we are going to eat dinner at a restaurant! And then we are going to a bar with outdoor seating! And it will be the best Saturday EVER!" And it a little bit was.

don't text nida!
from a 412 phone number, Monday, April 27, 4:04 PM

Why? Is it because Nida is a LOSER? Will Leila also become a LOSER when she accidentally texts Nida, not having received this message warning her against it?

hey who are u sitting with
from a 609 phone number, Monday, April 27, 2:53 PM

On the school bus? In the cafeteria? Personally, I am sitting alone, but that's probably not really what 609 was asking.

Huh

Is that a drawing of something? If so, what? It's not a rose. I know what rose emoticons look like already.

so im looking at flights and it a little over 400 for round trip. weekdays are cheaper, obviously. weekend flights are almost 500
from a 661 phone number, Sunday, April 26, 9:04 PM

I keep expecting this financial crisis to make air travel cheaper than it actually has. I just paid $260 for tickets to Chicago. Does it HAVE to cost so much?

you are a deck
from a 757 phone number, Sunday, April 26, 12:13 AM

You know how when someone is kind of funny you can call them a "card"? Well maybe 757 is trying to say that Leila is so funny, she is a whole DECK of cards! Or maybe 757 doesn't know how to spell the word "dick." Hard to say.

Lito
from a 440 phone number, Saturday, April 25, 6:11 PM

Oh, not much, Lito. Just in the middle of a whirlwind weekend of dancing and picnicking, taking a few minutes to update my blog. Sup, yourself?

I finished the 4.5 mile walk in I hour & 45 min. !
from a 904 phone number, Saturday, April 25, 11:09 AM

I think I can do like a 15-20 minute mile, so I could probably beat 904's time... but, you know, potentially this was not a "race."

from a 540 phone number, Friday, April 24, 7:36 AM

If I had a friend who sent me texts like this one-- at 7:36 in the morning, no less-- I would be like, "Dude, stop texting me. You're freaking me out."

why did you both leave your lunches at home?
from a 404 phone number, Friday, April 24, 7:34 AM

Uh, they probs didn't do it on purpose. I never purposefully forget my lunch.

Haha im watching zac efron do the dancee!!!!
from a 774 phone number, Thursday, April 23, 7:37 PM

So what are the plans for tomorrow?
from a 774 phone number, Thursday, April 23, 9:43 PM

Did you find it yet??
from a 774 phone number, Saturday, April 25, 9:25 AM

I am not embarrassed to state that Zac Efron is a great dancer, and whatever it was 774 was watching him do, well, I would like to watch, too. Did anyone else see his SNL appearance? I am not an SNL-watcher, but my roommate showed me a clip and it was funny. Of course, she and I also went to see HSM3 in theaters, so maybe we are not unbiased.

from a 206 phone number, Wednesday, April 22, 10:29 PM

I have not updated this blog in three days because that's how long it took me to realize that this was not transliterated from some foreign language. Sometimes I am not very good at the Leila Texts.

I love u my beautiful sister.In nine minutes something will make you happy but you have to send to nine sister's including me God is good.... :)
from a 734 phone number, Wednesday, April 22,, 10:05 PM

I think if God were REALLY good, His actions would not depend on whether Leila forwards a text message nine times... but, you know, who am I to claim to understand the divine.
