Dear Goddess

As I previously mentioned, I get tons of email from readers every day. There are the e-mails with questions and then there are the e-mails with answers. By the way, Winnie in Why, AZ, thanks for “Chicken.” I always thought it was "egg" when I didn’t think it was “Abe Vigoda.”

Then there are the marriage proposal e-mails. Sam in Sing Sing, no, thank you. George Clooney of Los Angeles, CA, oh, yeah!!!

Lastly, there were the restraining order e-mails. George Clooney of Los Angeles, CA, okay, but then how will we ever consummate our marriage?!?!? Mrs. Fletcher from down the street, I’m sorry, but I thought Winston said he was an “orphan” cat; complain all you want, but my cat crunchies are better than your cat crunchies obviously!

Today’s email had the subject title “Good cop Bad cop.” Before I read it, I was torn. Could it be from prison or involve yet another legal action against me?! Was it time to call my cousin who was in the landfill business or my Uncle who was in the cement business? Hmmmm.

Dear Goddess,

So --I woke up this morning on this no-school day and read your blog. After reading it -- I was inspired! I decided to blow off a day of work and take my daughter to the mall to buy clothes she didn't really need and take her to lunch -- things her frugal Bad Cop Dad would frown upon.
We had a ball at Victoria Secret and Abercrombie and the Loft and 99 Restaurant.
Thought you would want to know!

Dear Suzie,

Your letter made my day. I already knew you were an awesome Mom and a wonderful friend before your letter arrived. (Of course, that's due to the fact that I watched a lot of "Bewitched" episodes back in the day.) It’s a lot of work keeping up with my career, my family, my home, and this blog. Sometimes I just want to give up. But, knowing that you’re reading (along with many others and you know who you are) and hearing your story based on my story makes it all worthwhile. Thank you, dear Suzie. ♥

And thrown in for good measure…

Dear Goddess,

Do they make Winter Hello Kitty hats for big girls like us?

Dear Harriet,
Humptulips, really?!?!
Err, yes, they do.
And, I own one.
Go figure.



Keep on writing to me, dear readers. I love you. But, that doesn’t mean you, Sam from Sing Sing! ♥
