there was a crap storm to get this call going. first it was 2:47 when ambria came out of school because she and Lauren had to finish work on a math project, then we went to the roof for the call and as soon as Skype started my phone died, then we came back down to the apartment and it took 4 minutes for my hone to reboot. but we finally got the call going and ambria and emily talked about what Ambria wants to do when she goes back to knoxville. what presents she wants to buy and where she wants to go. does she talk to Edie? no techical issues. emily asked if there was a certain amount of money that ambria is supposed to spend on people when she goes christmas shopping. (isn’t that something parents are supposed to impose?) does Ambria get letters from Reda? Does she send letters to Reda? does she have enough stamps and stuff? then they talked about when Ambria’s next derby bout is and how she gets her stuff to practice. They talked about what ambria will have for dinner, then ambria ended the call. 3:18pm PST.
