    Dear Future Presidents (no, not those ones...lol),

    Thank you for the Britney Spears Dance Remix of Piece of Me. Yes, I'm 13 years old with my addiction to this song. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qQ-HmDmjkP8&feature=related

    Brandy...who swears this is the only song from crazy Britney that she likes. REALLY!

    To the editor of cycling club's newsletter:

    It was very nice of you to thank by name all of the people who served as ride leaders in 2007, but you unfortunately left my name off the list. Yet you managed to list the three other women who served as my co-leaders. How'd that happen exactly?

    So, it literally was a thankless job.

    Dear Indysteel,

    Thank you for being a ride leader. I helped my cycling coach (rode sweep) on a couple rides, and truly I had never realized how much *work* leading a ride is. She was dashing all over the place, it wasn't just a bike ride for the ride leader.

    Dear indysteel,
    thank you for leading your ride! As a newsletter editor, I've been known to leave a name off... I'd give you an extra boost the next time (but I'd also have gone through my days of the week and the rides and checked 'em off before publishing..) oops, I better go and do our winter one now! THanks for the reminder...

    Thanks Knotted and Geonz!!! I felt really silly getting mad last night when I saw my name excluded from the newsletter, but being a ride leader at our club involves putting a route(s) together (our has three different lengths from 18 to 65 miles), marking the routes with painted Dan Henrys, preparing a map, buying food and supplies for 100 plus riders, getting everybody signed in the day of the ride, and manning two SAG stops along the way for the duration of the ride. This was the first time we'd done a ride and it was, quite frankly, like herding cats. So, I was sort of peeved (sniff, sniff) that everyone else got thanked but me.

    The good news is that I'll live!!!!

    Indy; you really DID do a lot. I'm impressed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with sending the editor a note (I'm an editor too) and saying, uh, you forgot me, i did the crazy kats ride and sagged for bla bla too.
    Next issue, they'll put something in to the effect "WE FORGOT INDY!!"

    Dear Admissions Committee,

    You will be receiving my application for the Masters in School Counseling in the next day or two. Please make the right decision, which of course, is to invite me for an interview. Once there, please be so overtaken with my charm and academic ability that you put my application in the "yes" pile and accept me to study with your program in the fall.

    Thank you very much!

    And Dear trickytiger,

    Great Job, woman!! Yeah-hooo!!!

    Congrats T2 & best wishes to FlyBye.

    Thank you, guardian angel, for today's good news. It made this morning's ICY, rainy, foggy, horrible drive to work worth gutting out.
