Subject: hope you didn’t use my pic to scare the rats away!
Hi Anne!
Glad you got my pictures. Why was I all gussied up in that one? It was for my Aunt Rose’s wedding (her second marriage). Yeah, I liked that dress a lot. It was a dark blue, but when the light hit it, it looked kinda purple. Very pretty.
Aw shucks (blush), thanks for saying that I’m "wonderful"! Guys today are so dense! I mean, not only are we attractive, but I think we have great personalities! If I see one more relatively attractive man with a homely women, I think I’m going to scream. Take yesterday, for example. I was walking to work, and I passed this couple, holding hands. The man wasn’t gorgeous, but he was pretty decent looking. The girl was short, heavy and well … ugly. I’m not trying to be mean, but she wasn’t attractive at all. And I have to wonder what in the world does he see in her? She must have one hell of a personality! I think to myself ‘What the hell am I doing wrong?’ You know sometimes being very attractive can be just as damning as being very unattractive. I mean, how many men do you think look at you and me and want to approach us but don’t because they’re afraid of rejection? This is why I say (for the hundredth time!) That my future husband will be the one to pursue me totally and completely!
Re: that Cosmo article: what’s the point of seeing someone that you see no future with? Isn’t that the whole point of going out with someone? Isn’t that like ’stringing someone along’? "Gosh, Bill, I think you’re a wonderful man and these past six months have been great and all, but I just don’t see a future with you. I never did. I’m only going out with you to make myself look attractive to other men." Totally not right! And I wouldn’t even want the kind of man who would be attracted to me because I was seeing someone else! See, this is all part of these stupid mind games that people play in the game of love and I don’t want any part of it. I’m too old for this crap. I don’t have the time and I don’t have the patience! You’re right. Using some poor dork as bait is not the way to meet Mr. Right! I shouldn’t have to "do" anything to get a husband. As far as I’m concerned its pretty cut and dried- man meets me, runs after me, we date, fall in love, get married and live happily ever after! Simple!
True that you wouldn’t look for a Eggplant Parmagina in a McDonalds, but just because you meet someone in a Church environment, doesn’t mean you’re home free. If that we’re true, we’d both be married by now. Its so frustrating to go to church and look around you and see that every good looking man is married! I know I’m supposed to be there for God and not be checking out the men, but I’m sure everyone does that. And just because a guy goes to church, doesn’t mean he won’t turn out to be a jerk. At this point in my life, I really don’t care how or where I meet my future husband. I don’t go to church that much anyway, so I really don’t have room to judge. My cousin met her husband at a gas station, my aunt met her husband at a restaurant. Like I’ve said before, I would like to meet such an extraordinary man in such an ordinary way! Don’t give up Anne! The love of your life is out there somewhere! (I’m giving the same advice to myself!)
That episode of My So Called Life is so true because I look at people and think ‘Oh my god, so-and-so actually has (had) sex!’ There are some people I just can’t imagine in the throes of passion, you know? Yuck, I get creeped out thinking about it!

*******************************************************************
Oh! I forgot funny moment- In an episode of Laverne and Shirley, someone wrote their names and phone number on the wall of the men’s restroom. They kept on getting these lewd phone calls. On the one call Laverne says something like, "And let me tell you something, buster! What you just said is sick! Sick! Sick! And I wouldn’t do any of those things with you … except maybe possibly that third thing …"
well, thats about it for now. Have a great weekend! I’m going to send this out twice so hopefully you’ll get it! If you do get it twice, I apologize! Till next time, take care and God bless!
