...and then a third joined for a chat

I’m going to go out on a limb and say NYC is pretty much the only place where you’ll happen upon a girl on the sidewalk shrieking loudly about Julia Allison and you’ll know exactly who and what she is talking about.

My dad is the most difficult person to buy presents for, but I have come up with the most epic idea ever:

I am going to buy him beer for Christmas.

I hope he knows that he has the most awesome daughter in the whole entire world.  I’m from a very small town and there aren’t many 6’3” burly guys with hair down to the middle of their backs that smoke a pipe, so pretty much everyone in town knows who he is - especially the guys at the beer store.  (Have I mentioned my dad brews his own beer recreationally?  He’s like their hero.  They love him.)  So, yeah, this idea is pretty brilliant, if I do say so myself.  The plan is this: I go into the beer store and say, “hi, I’m Dennis’s daughter and I’d like to buy him beer for Christmas.  I’m looking to spend about X amount.  What would he like?”  And they’ll know.  And I’ll get all the credit for being awesome. 

Usually I pride myself in my ability to write psychotic emails, but sometimes I think I’ve gone too far and just sound plain creepy.

You can’t come up with a list of good things so I thought I would do it for you.

1. You’re wicked smart. I mean dude, you passed the NY bar and a lot of fools don’t.

2. You have pretty hair. I want it. Can I have it?

3. When people are sad, you send them sweet emails because you’re a good person and that’s just how you roll.

4. You’re honest and you put it out there. Your world isn’t covered in sunshine and flower scented bullshit and that’s ok. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the things I like about you.

5. You make fun of old cougars at the bar. What about that can you not like!?

6. You were nice to buildingaladder when she came trick or treating at your house a whole bunch of years ago. That story warms my heart

7. You do amazing work. Shit a lot of people wouldn’t be able to handle you do with grace and a smile

8. You’re funny. I like funny. I like you

I would give more but I’m busy and I don’t like ending things on odd numbers b/c I’ma  tick OCD like that.

Bottom line? you rock sister and I hope your case of the blues passes quickly because it’s Rex Manning Day almost Thanksgiving and that means makes everyone happy, right?

xoxo

 FACT: this made me cry at my desk (I might be a little hormonal today).  I wholeheartedly agree with everything said above, especially the Rex Manning Day part.
