Uncreative Title

So in a little break from the letters (don't panic, they'll follow) I have 1 fact about me, and one random thought.

Fact: Generally I break cupcakes apart. That way I get one part that's all cake and the other has a ton of icing. aka the best of both worlds. Really. You should try it.

Random Thought: so my coffee cup today had "Life's too short not to..." and then the rest was blocked by the cardboard sleeve. My first thought was "Life's too short not to... be caffeinated."
Ten signs you may have a caffeine problem.....

Monday Yet Again

Dear Starbucks,
Thanks for sending my own personal Starbucks card. With my name on it. The piece of plastic in return for the thousands of dollars I've likely spent there (ok maybe not that much, but quite frankly, I don't want to know how much) is a great trade. Looking forward to getting it in the mail!
Love,
Danielle

Dear Reunion Weekend,
I can't wait for you to get here. I'm hoping you live up to my expectations.
Love,
Danielle
PS. Tim's be ready (and if you could clean up once before then that would be good too... I'm just saying June may be enough notice).

Dear BG,
I'll be watching you tomorrow. Did you come up with that zone offense yet?
Love,
Danielle

Dear Male Gender,
Could you be more confusing? Really?
Sincerely,
Frustrated in Pittsburgh

Dear DVR,
I hope you're ready for tomorrow. Biggest Loser, NCIS (both of em) and the Dayton game. You're gonna have to man up b/c I clearly can only watch one.
Love,
Danielle
P.S. GO FLYERS!

Dear Ted's FB Wall,
See you tomorrow at 7pm. It's a date.
Love Danielle

and another

Dear Kurt,

Still not sure why you start. It's been four years. I don't consider myself stupid. I just don't get it.
Really,
Danielle

And...

Dear Trent Meachum,

You still suck.

Love, (and by love I mean not love)
Danielle

Letters During Basketball

Dear Jody,
Once again, props for "the dream." It was a good one. But I don't need to tell you that. Clearly. Now we need to work on that one coming true. Ideas?
Love,
Danielle

Dear Robin,
You should not make 2 of your employees work this weekend. A particular two. If you need me to name them just ask. Things will not go well for you in the karma department if you don't. I'm just saying...
Love,
Danielle
PS. I may also have some shoes I can throw if you mess up my weekend.

Dear Flyers,
Please continue playing well. PLEASE.
Love,
Danielle


Dear 438 Crowd aka Boozahol,
We rock at game commentary. We should probably collectively co-star a game with Bobby Knight. I call dibs on the chair next to his.
Bazinga!
Danielle

Dear Seth Greenberg,
Thanks for being awesome and involving your student fans. Being accessible is a really cool thing for you to do. I award you 10 cool points.
Love,
Danielle
(background story - SG does a Q&A session/scouting report on game day in one of VT's dining halls before every game for the students)

PS. BG you may want to consider this. Maybe people would like you better.
PPS. Still waiting on that zone offense BG. just sayin....


Dear Danielle,
Get motivated to work out. Seriously. You need to.
Love,
Danielle


Dear Laundry/Cleaning Fairies,
If you could come visit that would be great. I can leave you a list under my pillow if you'd like suggestions. Just to be helpful. I'm only thinking of you really.
Hopefully see you soon!
Love,
Danielle


Dear Biggest Loser,
Thanks for being a huge motivation. Way Awesome.
Love,
Danielle

PS. I forgive you for sometimes making me cry.

more letters Monday

Dear ESPN,
I know this is a lot to ask, but PLEASE have Bobby Knight commentate the Dayton game. It would be amazing. You'll see. Just send Bobby to Cincinnati.
Love,
Danielle


Dear Wine and Brownies,
Clutch performance tonight. Thanks.
Love,
Danielle

Monday

Dear People I Work With,
Please do your job. Correctly. The first time. I'm getting really sick of redoing your work on a daily basis. Seriously. I know our job isn't the most glamorous, but please don't make me hate my life because you can't do your job. Ok? Great. Thanks.
Love,
Danielle


Dear Monday Night TV,
I hope you live up to my expectations tonight.
Love,
Danielle

Dear People Who Don't Appreciate My Humor,
(or at least respond to it in an appropriate amount of time)
You suck. That's all.
Sincerely,
Danielle

Dear Readers....

Dear Readers,

(yes all 2 of you...) I have decided that from now on, my blog will consist primarily of all of those letters I love to write. Which, if you're reading this, you already know I love my letters and you love me in spite of this fairly quirky habit. So enjoy!

Love Danielle.



Dear Danielle,

Next year, DON'T CHANGE YOUR INITIAL PICKS. Seriously. You do it every year. Just quit.
Love,

Your Brackets



Dear UD People who keep calling me for money,

I'm onto you. You always call from the same number. It's been 3 years and I still haven't picked up. Maybe you should quit calling me.

Love Danielle

PS. How DID you get my cell number anyway????

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

so maybe I should get back to this.

So It's been pretty much a year since I've written anything...

I'm now in a different city, with a temporary job and still looking for that "real" lawyer job.

At the same time, it's kind of amazing how much I've changed how I look at things (and how much has gone on in the last year).

Something amusing tomorrow.
