Dear mom,
Thanks for giving me the genetic predisposition to be nocturnal. Yes, the older I get, the more I know I am your daughter. Not only did I wake up at 4:30 this morning wide awake, but instead of watching a movie, or reading a book, or just lying there thinking...I GOT UP AND STARTED CLEANING!!!! Who does that? Well the women in my family do. Either cook or clean depending on our mood and the position of the moon that night. I remember many nights growing up where the aroma of fresh cooked bread and the sound of the vacuum woke me up.
Dear chefs at the gym,
After cleaning this morning, I went to the gym...of course...and while there, you two were right behind me talking about stuffed french toast and how each of you make it just a little differently and the ingredients you use (and I am trying not to drool all over the weights by this point) and it took all I had to not turn around and ask you for that recipe. I love french toast...and I have never had STUFFED french toast...so naturally, it must be extra good. What kind of sick joke are you playing on me? That's just cruel. Me trying to get my daily workout in and you trying to get me to cave to the sugar/carb overload which naturally comes with stuffed french toast. Mean... just mean
Dear radio stations,
FYI, it's not even Thanksgiving yet...lay off the Christmas music for a few more weeks.
Dear Purell,
Thanks for letting me tote you all around town in my purse to curb my germ-a-phobic personality. I HATE GERMS!!!! The mister thinks I'm getting a little out of control this flu season, but I know you agree with me. Icky germs and bugs stay in their place...on the floors of subways and in the little bucket of communal mixed nuts at bars, NOT ON MY HANDS OR IN MY HOUSE. Whenever I go somewhere public, the only noises I hear are coughs, sniffles, sneezes, throat clearings, nose blowings, etc. I even have adjusted the time I go grocery shopping to avoid the major crowds that could potentially be coughing up a lung with walking pneumonia (crazy right?). I am doing all I can to not get sick this year, which is really hard to do when you talk to 100+ people everyday in a medical office. Luckily for me, in a medical office there are a bazillion preventative ways to stay safe against the nasty flu bugs. Flu bug:zero, the Dalmer household:one. Lets see who the winner will be at the end of the horrible flu season.
