PIC OF THE DAY!

Photo prompt=METAL. Love that I can go through my old photos and just pull this stuff right out! Took this metal moose in Chicago a couple of years ago around Christmastime. Or maybe November. Anyway. It’s supposed to be made out of old chrome bumpers. Love it!

TODAY…

1. Had a great council meeting today. Not only got additional help with my resume, but made another good connection with a guy on council with me. We’re going to lunch after council next week (no, not a love connection, but a good business connection). Thankful for those meetings.

2. Still laughing about the weekend. Thankful for those belly laughs.

3. Thankful for such a stunningly beautiful and warm December day!

4. Thankful for clear, sparkling lights tonight as I look out my windows.

5. Thankful that The Superfunk appears to be at bay–at least right now.

Hello, hello!

Man, this writing every day gets hard! Since these are going around, and I can’t really think of anything much to write about today, I think I’ll do one too.

What I’d like to say to you:

  • You are condescending. High and mighty. But you know what? I have a feeling that it comes from insecurity. Could it be that you are afraid of looking closely at yourself? I have a suggestion: before you go flapping your gums, check yourself. On the other hand, sometimes I think you just might simply be ignorant. You come to the strangest conclusions about things, and they don’t seem to be thought out. You are very reactionary. I know someone else like you. It didn’t turn out well.
  • I like to keep up with you on facebook, though I rarely note because I don’t think your wife would appreciate it. It’s not because I have romantic feelings for you, it’s because I’m so happy that you’re living such a cool life. You are one of those kinds of people that has always been happy-go-lucky and it has really worked for you. I’m proud of you! You are a great example of someone who’s living his dreams! Keep going!
  • You and I lived a bit of a parallel life for a while. But you seemed to make all the right decisions and are living this incredible life with the brilliant husband and the stunningly gorgeous children. It sometimes boggles my mind how different our lives are right now. And you know what the amazing thing is? I’m not jealous of you at all. I’m simply so, so proud of you. I love reading you here on OD, but sometimes don’t really know what to say because we do live such different lives. Just know that I do read every entry and I think you rock!
  • You are one of my first friends on OD. You have been my most fierce and loyal advocate. You’ve stuck by me (and stuck up for me!) for years and years and years. I only wish I could write such brilliant and supportive notes on your diary. I hope you know that I adore you from afar. I have always been a bit intimidated by your smarts and your eloquence. I guess I wish I could repay all the favors. Oh, and thank you.
  • You and you (and YOU) are falling in love, and even though I’m a twinge jealous, I’m thrilled for you all! I probably shouldn’t put this in a collective bullet, but I’d probably say the same thing to each of you: you deserve it in the biggest way! I can’t WAIT to hear what happens next! Keep it up because you help me keep the faith.
  • Where did you gooooo? I miss you and I want you back!
  • And where did YOU go? I have a crush on you and miss your hilarious entries!
  • I don’t think you know I have an online diary, but sometimes I feel like you’ve stumbled across it at some point. It’s like you can read my mind. Do you really know?
  • And what about YOU? You found my diary many, many years ago and used it against me. Even though we don’t speak/write anymore, I wonder if you ever come back here to check in on me. I know you cyberstalked me to find out when I was supposed to get married, but since I’ve refused to answer your emails and attempts to reach me, I wonder if you’ve finally let go.
  • You have been there all my life and I know you always will be no matter what. It’s comforting to know that I do have permanent fixtures in my life who truly love me unconditionally. I love you more than words can ever say.
  • I just met you and I want to know more. More, please.
  • You are radiant and brilliant and have helped me in tremendous ways. You give me lots and lots of faith that things are all going to turn out okay. You are a true example of someone who’s doing it right (and you’re gorgeous to boot!). I’m excited for your future!
  • You are a total freak. Don’t ever forget: what goes around, comes around. When your time comes, I want to be far, far, far away–physically and emotionally.
  • You are hilarious, so talented and bursting with energy! I wish I had half of your positive attitude and brilliant wisdom. I like what you’ve got goin’ on. Oh yes, I do!! You simply *sparkle* XO!

    Wow. I just realized that I could go on and on and on with these! But I’ve got so many other things I need to finish tonight before I go to bed. This has been funnnnnnn, but duty still calls.

    Nighty-night!
