Friday Letters

Dear Blog,
Yes, I've thought about quitting you 17 times this past week. Feeling unloved is not a good feeling. I'm working to get past this feeling about you. And me.

***

Dear Coach,
You might have outdone yourself this time. Although your Mom mentioned wanting a little Mercedes several times during your childhood, surely she never thought you were actually listening. Surprising your Mom with a car was beyond sweet.  I always say, the way to a woman's heart is through a car.
Ok, I don't always say that, but it is pretty darn awesome. And for your sweet Mom, this is such a deserved gift.
(This car gift coincided with their 39th anniversary~ I love you Sue and Bill!}
On occasion, I might refer to the Coach as My Oprah.

***
Dear Valentines Day,
I might have to stop referring to you as Happy VD.
Maybe.
This year, our house was full of love....and I'm happy that both my girls have sweet Valentines that I actually like. For once.

XOXO

  1. My Oprah..haha..yougetacar, yougetacar, yougetacar! When does my car arrive? : ) I feel the same way about my blog. Can't decide to just shut it down but don't have much writing mojo these days. Ideas rattle around but by the time I have time to pound out the words, the day is done and I ready to be done too. Happy VD to you too, friend! :o)

  2. I love that your hubby bought his mom a car. I wish all kids would do the same (if possible!) And yeah, when I read VD, Valentine's Day was not the first thing that popped into my head. Don't you dare quit your blog!

  3. Oh! Boyfriends you actually like for the babies. That is divine.

    I am going to send Oprah, I mean Coach, a list of things I need : )

    He is a good man to bless his Mama with something special like that. I love his heart.

    VD makes me laugh. Love to my favorite Florida blogger. Why would you give it up? Blogging is the best. Can you please come over and help me blog 26 sessions? I just can't get motivated. I need to do it. But I can't.

  5. That Coach is a keeper, for sure!! But, any woman who raised a boy who turned out like THAT absolutely deserves a car!

    Glad your babies have sweet Valentines. I hope they continue to do so, and that no jerk ever makes them have a crappy VD. I mean Valentine's Day. Well, actually, maybe I mean both...

    I write the same letter to my blog. I regularly write a similar letter to my kids: "Dear Kids, I QUIT!"
    So glad your house was full of love this Valentine's.
