Dear So and So

[jessmarimba]

(Open letter to my music kids)

Dear drumset player:
What possessed you today to accidentally start our performance with the wrong piece? It's FINALS. At a REGIONAL. With (name redacted) as a judge!!! You're the only senior in the group, the only kid over 18, and you make a mistake that the 12-year-olds wouldn't have made!!!

Dear everyone else in the group:
Thanks for having the presence of mind to save the performance. Even with the total scramble to get to an instrument that remotely matches what you should be on during the piece he started with, it was a pretty darn good performance. You guys better hope (judge) is at our national competition, because he's very impressed with that recovery. And also laughing his butt off at the whole situation.

Sincerely,
Your exasperated teacher, who had to wait 4 agonizing hours for a drink after that near-catastrophe. I will probably wake up tomorrow with a whole head full of gray hair.

jessmarimba, I hope that drink was a good and stiff one. Kids can be so funny like that though...

Dear houseguest,

We're having seafood for dinner again tonight. Get the hint?

Dear houseguest,

We're having seafood for dinner again tonight. Get the hint?

And there's a problem with the menu? What time is dinner?

[malkin]

((redrhodie))--that's a big mix of stuff. I'm amazed at how clearly and simply you can articulate those issues.

Let's all just drop in at Oak's house for seafood and then we'll leave.

(spell check wants me to call you 'rear')

[redrhodie]

Ha! Spellcheck is a wisenheimer. It likes to put 'a$$' in place of 'was' for me. It's only a matter of time before that bites me in the rear.

The old friend and I exchanged emails. She said she loves and misses me, and is there if I need her. I wished her a happy birthday and said I didn't feel like talking. I'm not sure where it goes from here. I'm letting it rest for now.

Went to the house inspection with DS and DIL. As I spent 2+ hours going through the process with them, I thought, how can this be? In my mind, my son is still 3 years old! Ack, it made me feel really old.
Which of course necessitated DH and I going out to dinner at an awesome Argentinian restaurant.

Dear houseguest,

Sounds delicious...

to whom it may concern
ok, so last week we broke my weekly bike commute because of totally ridiculous weather every single day. So this morning is the first dry morning (ie not raining/snowing) in almost 2 weeks and what, it's 29 degrees? My poor bike is groaning and moaning while my leg muscles quickly recede. ENOUGH already!!!!!!!

Quit complaining - it could be worse. Beautiful weather, then lots of wind, then lots of snow (at least 2 feet) at my house. Just barely got out of my neighborhood by about 9:00 today in my subaru!

[Biciclista]

oh, rest my heart, TWO FEET OF SNOW????
I would NOT have left the house.
