Dear So and So

[emily_in_nc]

I lived in Prairie Village when I was a toddler. Last year, when my sister, mom and I went back to visit my uncle and aunt in Kansas City, they drove us by where we used to live in Prairie Village. Of course, I did not remember it since I was too young when we lived there. WHen it was built it was prairie, no trees, etc. Now the trees are so big it is amazing; or is that just showing my age???

I am sure it's changed a lot. The photos of the house we'll be renting show HUGE trees all around. I always think of Kansas as rather desolate and treeless since I grew up on the Wizard of Oz movie, but Prairie Village surely does not look to be that way.

Wouldn't it be funny if it is the same house?

Where in Colorado are you? I am sure we'll get there -- it will be much closer than when we lived in NC! Have only been to one little corner of CO so far (Durango area), but what I saw was gorgeous!

We are in the Denver area but spend most every weekend in the mountains hiking, camping, backpacking, etc. It is a gorgous place to live.

Dear co-worker,

please stop putting your husband down whenever you talk about him. It's not funny, it's not a female bonding thing, at least it certainly doesn't work for me, it makes him sound like an helpless idiot and it makes you sound mean. You chose to share your life with this man, at least grant him a little respect.

Dear self,

yes, when you walk in the door at work wearing XC skiing gear, everybody does think you've been skiing already. Even if it's nine in the morning in downtown Oslo, and even though they do know you regularly change to the work clothes you keep downstairs, and regularly ski after work. Really, there is no way of getting through that door without somebody asking if you've skied to work. Just suck it up and smile.

I'd have to ask my Mom, she will remember
