Baby's First Snow

Nathan Hearts Cheryl

Being too lazy to come up with my own co-op board reference letters (recommending myself on behalf of my former "neighbors" Cece and Jamie), I googled "neighbor reference letter" and found there are many kinds of letters out there! This was by far the best one, though not necessarily a reference letter:

My Dear Cheryl,

Loving you is so easy.

There are so many reasons why I love you…

The little things you do, the simple gestures you make, the feelings and thoughts that you share with me. I adore the way you look, the way you move, and your infectious smile.

There are so many things to love about you!

Do you know I love it when you daydream and you think no one is watching?

Do you know I love the way your eyes sparkle when you tell a funny story?

Do you know that I love the shape of your ears?

Do you know I love to watch you sleep?

I could go on and on.

It's important to me that you know that I love you - and how much I love you.

So whatever it is that you are doing, thinking or saying, as you go about your day -- know that I am there with you, loving you.

Much Love,

Nathan

Now, I don't like to use this term loosely, but....

LMAO.

Nathan, I think you are a psychopath. Why are you watching Dear Cheryl sleep?  You say Cheryl is daydreaming with no one watching, but you clearly are! Oh yes, you're keeping quite the close eye on your easy-to-love GF. Wait, is she your GF? Reading this the second time, I can't even tell. I think Cheryl is just some pointy-eared girl you work with who you salivate over from a dark corner at company happy hours. You jealously watch her tossing her hair over her shoulder as she tells Ken from accounting a funny story about people you don't know (but yearn to), her eyes sparkling all over the place. Oh how you wish to be Ken at that moment, being infected with Cheryl's potent laugh. You console yourself with the knowledge that in a few hours, she will be snuggled up in bed, diligently setting her alarm for the gym in the morning, as you watch happily from her fire escape.

Why They Pay Me the Big Bucks

Look, I'm really busy so I don't have a lot of time to write today. Super preoccupied watching YouTube videos such as "Kitten Wearing a Tiny Hat", "Cats Playing Patty-Cake" and "Charlie Doing Kitten Things" (hee!). 

Other activities of the day:
-trying to come up with a clever response to email received at 10:57am
-talking to Cece for an hour
-refreshing personal email every three seconds 
-shopping at Union Square holiday market
-ordering group present for boss


Now I remember how I spent so much on Christmas last year -- it's so effing quiet at work I have nothing to do but shop. I wonder if J Crew has any cashmere-lined gloves... 

OMG, just remembered I bought a pair of red patent leather heels last year -- parfait for this year's various Christmas parties! Time to look for a matching lip gloss!!

Something Winona could never do...

This is the best article I've read in a while! 

The headline says it all: Oklahoma Women Accused of Smuggling Stolen Goods in Body Fat. My favorite part is "One of the women tried to smuggle three pairs of boots underneath her breasts." OMG. Is this a normal day in Oklahoma??

I love the girl on the left's expression. Is she trying not to laugh?
