Fly, my pretties!

So I'm packing for my trip to NYC (leaving PDX tonight at the stroke of midnight), and I'm sitting on my bed looking out my window (our bedroom, on the second floor, commands a really majestic vista of the wild ravine behind our cul-de-sac house) and I notice that there's a dozen or so turkey vultures taking turns swooping down past my window into the creekbed.

Something must have died down there, methinks. I'm hoping that it isn't one of the neighborhood cats.



Anyway, seeing all those big beautiful raptors swooping past my window, against a backdrop of verdant springtime green, made me feel like an evil queen commanding my winged minions. Unfortunately, though, my repeated requests for my minions to soar down to the 7-11 and get me a Diet Dr. Pepper went unheeded, so that fantasy was pretty hard to sustain.

Did you try, at any point, unleashing your cleavage and/or baring significant tattoos? I hear that it works.

(See you Wednesday, I hope!)

No, I *totally* failed to take advantage of my monkeyboobs. And thus, I am Diet Dr. Pepper-less.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday ... it looks good at the moment! The client I thought I was having dinner with has to be in Boston. But my boss could slot something else in at the last minute. We shall see!

I wish you'd been here tonight. I had a spare theater ticket and it would have ROCKED to go with you.

Why don't us women of a certain age do a theater night some night? In Portland, I mean, unless you want to fly to NYC.

You'd make an awesome evil queen. Though of course you're really too nice, but you'd sure look good.

Dear Idiot,

MY minions were in perfect working order Thursday. Clearly I should send them to beat up your minions, who failed to get you to the church on time. Not that I noticed your absence until the following morning, of course.

Dear Beautiful Blushing Bride:

I am so sorry that I didn't make it down to Eugene for the wedding. I was thinking all week that I'd really be able to, and then everything just collapsed on Thursday. What makes me feel the worst is that I didn't even have the good graces to email you and Rob my apologies the day after.

I wanted to be there, and it really sucked that I couldn't make it.

I hope you guys are having a wonderful honeymoon, and here are all the blessings and good wishes I *failed* to give you last week ...

***blessings!***
***good wishes!***

Mazel tov to you both,
Mary

It's okay. Like I say, we didn't even notice your absence until much later. We had other things on our minds. I was just glad that the reason for your absence wasn't that you had had some sort of terrible accident en route, which would totally have hosed my karma.

Besides, I've given Dave Levine strict instructions to rub it in at every opportunity. ;)

Oh Jesus, if you've put David Levine onto the case then I'm really hosed. ;-)

I do have a present for the two of you, by the way ... when you get a chance, drop me your land address so I can send it, eh?

Hugs, and congratulations again,

Mary
