Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Woohoo, Mimi! (now, go get some sleep!)

Catrin--vibes for your mom.

Dear self:
You've been eating crap this week, and see what's happened? Clean up your diet a little--cut back on the Dr. Pepper at the very least. There won't be nearly as much baklava, or as much of whatever-that-awesome-stuff-was. (Yeah, we know, your Libyan classmates are fantastic cooks.) Just ease up on the sweet stuff, 'kay? (Also, get some sleep.)

[NbyNW]

Yay, Mimi what wonderful news! I hope you can take a little time out this weekend to pamper yourself. Hope that Don is feeling better every day!

[OakLeaf]

Yay Mimi & Don! Now get some rest.

[salsabike]

Mimi, I'm gonna open my living room windows now (they face south) and I better hear you SNORING!

Hugs, girl.

Mimi, I hope I don't wake you up, but YAAA-HOOOO!

Dear Lady,

Thank you for talking with me about mountain biking while I was at the park. Today was the first time ever doing a trail and you boosted my confidence. I know I probably annoyed you with all the questions, but you patiently answered all of them. I feel bad that I don't remember your name though.

Thank You,

The lady that wouldn't shut up

Dear Self,

You did your very first mountain bike trail today. You didn't fall off, hit a tree, or wipe out during tight turns. I know I wasn't fast but there wasn't anyone else on the trail but DH and my son making it less stressful.

It's too bad by the time we got there it was nearly dark and only had a about a 1/2 hour or so to ride. Next time I'll do the entire trail unless I get ran over by far more experienced riders.

It sucks not being able to take someone else so I can ride during the day. DH doesn't get off from work until 4:30pm and it's an hour up to the trail.

If anyone happens to live in/near Omaha and needs someone to ride with, I'm around.

Shefly, thanks for telling me about that. Its much better knowing she's not going to be completely cut off. She's a tough kid, all this will do is maybe convince her she might want to spend Christmas back here with us where it's nice and warm.

Mimi, I'm so happy for you guys!!! Now go rest up!!

Mom does have lung cancer, and they removed as much of her lung as the emphysema allowed. They THINK they got it all, but they would have liked to have taken more to be safe. She will have to have radation once she recovers from this surgery. As a 72 year old who is quite unfit, she is doing great! It helps being the stubborn old cuss that she is

Catrin, I'm so sorry. Hope the doctors got it all and that your mom will heal quickly and easily.

Dear screaming dreams, please go away tonight. Thanks.

Dear LBS Men,

You are my lion, scarecrow, and tin man, and I mean that in the best possible way.

[Crankin]

Dear self,
Please get better. By tomorrow morning.
I am riding my new bike no matter what.
I feel like a sloth, with lots of eating and very little exercise.

[Owlie]

Dear K:
This month has been rough on you. Please don't feel guilty about Kitty #2. You tried very hard to find a home for her before taking her to the shelter. You didn't know she'd be considered "unadoptable".

Dear Chair of that other Committee,

I realize that we have to work together, but you are not in charge of running my committee. Please stop telling us how to do our job. You may disagree with our process and our decisions, but that in no way empowers you to overstep your boundaries.

Sincerely,
Chair of my Committee

Dear LBS Men,

You are my lion, scarecrow, and tin man, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I love this.

Good day with the Donald. They took out the nose hose and the foley and one drain. He walked 24 laps and I walked close to 4 miles (including some of those laps) Tonight i ought to get just a little more caught up on my sleep since tomorrow is 25 hours long.

On my way home in the dark and cold, a young woman cyclist was keeping up with me, catching up at the red lights and stop lights. At the final light I had hopes of her sitting parallel with my car But there was this huge camper who decided to stop at the light on the right side of me, in the sharrow.
So I sped up so he could not pass me on the right. I was afraid he was playing games with the cyclist, so I figured if i distracted him, he'd leave the bike alone. Sure enough he tailgated with his high beams on all the next mile on our quiet residential street with a 30mph speed limit. But he left the bicycle alone.

[NbyNW]

Good for you, Mimi, keeping the lane clear for the cyclist!

Glad to hear Don is on his feet and moving around well. Is there anything we can do for you tomorrow?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Mimi things are sounding really good for the D! Boy it'll be great when he gets released home, huh?
