Dear Stupid Drivers,
Please stop throwing garbage, apple cores and cigarette butts out your window. It makes me so mad when I see it happen, but I can't honk or yell because you may shoot me.

Dear Fellow Music Fans,
Please check out this week's "Free Single of the Week" on iTunes. It's one of my favorite female singers, Sara Bareilles. She rocks - literally and figuratively. You'll love the tune. And it's free.

Dear Prince,
I'm sorry I had to turn down one of Nicole's extra tickets to see you at The Roosevelt next week. I would love to see you in all your vertically-challenged, assless-pants, amazing-performer glory at such a small venue, but I have plans that night and I just dropped a not-so-pretty penny on car repairs. I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never meant to cause you any pain.

Dear Soundtrack from the Movie "Once,"
I love you. You are in my heavy rotation. Your songs bounce around my head and there's no point trying to change it. It's like listening to a hug while sitting in a warm bubble bath and being fed grapes and mini-quiches. I'm tempted to look into your previous bodies of work, but I'm afraid of opening a can of worms that I won't be able to contain.

Dear Start of Summer,
Thanks for deciding to grace us with your presence. Thank you for whisking away the June Gloom - at least for now. Please don't crazy-go-nuts on me with a heat wave. I'd like to enjoy your perfect temperatures for a bit longer.

Dear Friends (real and virtual),

P.S. Friday is my 3-year blogiversary! I've come a long way since my first post, so thanks for sticking with me!!!

ReplyDeleteBTW, Sara Bareilles is a Bruin and I saw her perform at her first Spring Sing (and win)! Just had to throw that out there :)
Three years!!! WOW!!! That's amazing!! I saw Prince in concert years ago and it was a fantastic performance and great production value.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I love reading your words, especially this post. Seriously, the one to Prince: funny!

ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd Blogthday!
Thanks for the tip on music, but I don't know about that iTunes. I DON'T DO THAT!!! (See? I can be scarily a lot like Angela at times. Sad really).
i'm just looking around various blogs seeing where they lead me :-) have a nice day :-) great blog design!
ReplyDeleteWow. Three years is a long time. Happy Blog Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the litterbugs! Mike LOVES to pull people over who litter. Even cigarette butts. When its a safe option, he makes them go pick it up! HA! he loves when they try to fight it and the judge says "do you have an ashtray in your car?" yes? GUILTY!
ReplyDeleteYou are a blog-star! Happy blogiversary and yay for an awesome weigh-in and concert.
