(Day 10) Dear love of my life
I understand this
great truth about men, I do. It is one of those essential,
instinctive things every woman must not only accept, but nurture. Of
course, you know best, sweetheart, nobody needs to tell you what to
do or how to do. You are nobody's schmuck. Trust me, I'm not trying
to cull from your need to lead us down the right path, to prove to
the world nobody is smarter than you. I would never...you're the
smartest, baby, I tell everyone that.
But you see, there
are times when you do need to listen to me. Even though I'm not
smarter than you, I can provide some invaluable insight to help you
retain your crown. Had you listened to me, you wouldn't be cursing
right now as you wrestle with our Christmas tree on the floor,
searching for the reason the lights don't work. I suggested to you it
might not be wise to leave the lights on when you thrust the tree
into the box for storage in the attic. It might be wise to strip them
off the way you delight in stripping me and pack them separately.
Yes, I understand,
if they worked when you took them down last year, they should work
this year. But it's still better to be safe than sorry. That 15
minutes of work you congratulated yourself on avoiding last year,
just cost you a couple of hours this year. So while you’re figuring
that out I'm going to giveaway some books as my contentious debate
with obstinate Jacy Oliver continues.
Hey readers we
love you! Christmas is a time of
giving so not only do Jacy Oliver and I want to giveaway some gift
certificates to whoever helps end our little debate, we're just going
to giveaway free books too.
Go here...enter this code for
mine...

And please...visit my other friends:
Very well said--and there's a lesson in today's posting for us all. For those that try to find the 'easy' way to do something and for those of us watching them do it-- knowing its all going to go south at some part.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Emma!
Loved today's letter. But I think somewhere in all of that you called me obstinate! Rude! LOL...as much as I try to but on my game face, it's just impossible with a friend like you.
ReplyDeleteI think we have gotten too close to put on game faces. I cherish our relationship, but at the same time you do bring out the claws, girl! I love you so much...it's weird...LOL
DeleteROFL, why is this letter so close to home.
