Hi Anne!
A cop with handcuffs, eh? That sounds promising (wicked laugh). I swear you and I could have been sisters in a former life (not that I believe in that stuff). I couldn’t be married to a cop either. Or a fireman. Lets just say I don’t think I could be married to anyone who was in a potentially dangerous profession. I look for a wedding ring too. Unfortunately, most of the time if he’s handsome and nice, most likely he’s taken. Its like a law in nature or something. FYI- ***** is not a good place to meet men. Most of the guys that come in are either married or gay. 
I remember I waited on this one guy. Very good looking and very nice. He smiled at me, I smiled at him. Looked at his hand, sure enough wedding ring. My smile lost some of its zing and I thought, What are you smiling at me for, creep? You’re already taken and you just dashed my hopes! That’s what I wanted to say. Instead I just rang him up like the good little worker that I am and kept that smile frozen in place.
That’s ok if you mention David Boreanaz in every e-mail. I’m sure I’m going to be talking about someone every time I write to you. Like Arnold, "oh my goodness he’s so hot" Vosloo. He was in a movie on Monday night on sci-fi. Darkman 2. Have I mentioned that before? Anyway, I think Danielle and I are going to see The Mummy Returns again sometime next week. I like the movie theatre experience much better than watching it at home too. I love a crowded theatre. I love to hear the peoples reactions to what’s happening up on the screen, just so long as nobody talks (either to each other or on a cell phone). How annoying is that?
Funny story: Last year when The Exorcist was re-released to theatres, I went to see it with Danielle. If you’ve ever seen it, you can believe me when I say in my opinion its the scariest movie of all time. I get scared just thinking about it! But I figured, maybe if I saw it in a crowded theatre and seeing the peoples humorous reactions to it, maybe it wouldn’t be so scary. So, we bought our tickets, walked into the theatre, and there was nobody there! We looked at each other and walked right back out. We didn’t ask for our money back, we were too embarrassed! By the way, we went back up a few hours later and saw Meet The Parents.
Speaking of movies, I want to see Shrek and Moulin Rouge looks pretty good too. I’m really not interested in seeing Pearl Harbor. I would see it, but I could wait until that comes out on video.
Anne, do you still live at home? What about Sara? You might have told me, but I can’t remember. I would love to move out, but its just too expensive. I always joke to my parents, "I guess you’re stuck with me until I get married." I figured that if Danielle and I (she still lives at home too) moved out, we would have just enough money for rent, food and utilities. We would definitely have to struggle, and I’m not willing to do that.
I’m about to pull my hair out of my head over finding a publisher for my book. Anyone who thinks that getting a book published is easy has no idea what they’re talking about. I’d considered the idea of getting an agent, but a friend of mine who is an author told me it isn’t that easy. Most of the time agents only want to work with established writers, and most publishing companies only want to look at agented manuscripts. Well, hello?! How can I become an "established" writer if the publisher only wants to look at agented manuscripts and the agents only want to work with established writers? GROAN!! I know there must be someone out there who would want to publish it. I just need to be patient and be persistent and PRAY about it!
I just bought a new cd: Rebecca St James: Transform. It is fantastic! In case you don’t know, she is a contemporary Christian singer. She’s from Australia. In some of her songs she kinda sounds like Alanis Morisette. I have all of her cds and I highly recommend them. Cindy Morgan is another of my favorite cc singers (among others). One cd that has greatly impacted my life is "The Loving Kind". Which is about the eight days leading to Christ’s crucifixation. Its a very powerful, very moving album.
Anne, do you have a scanner? I would love to know what you look like! Unfortunately, I don’t have a scanner. Let me try to describe myself to ya: I’m 5′ 3", hazel eyes and dark brown hair, which is naturally curly and its about shoulder length, maybe a bit shorter. I wont disclose my weight, mainly because I’m not sure what it is!, but I will say I’m a size 12. That’s ok with me. I like my curves!
Well, that’s it for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Until next time, take care and God bless!
Michele
