Kia ora!

Hello! As it is the holiday season (ok, I know I am a bit late with that, but bear with me)…I can’t help but recall the “Nutsacker” from last year – the Baltimore version of the Nutcracker Ballet. We saw nothing nearly as riveting or entertaining this year.

So, yes..we are alive and well in Wellington, New Zealand. Of course, you three readers probably already know this if you are reading our other blog (and if for some reason you don’t have the link, send me an email, and I’ll give it to you). So, then, no reason to recreate all the updates here.

I will still post here now and then, if I want to talk about something that doesn’t fit in with the feel of the NZ blog. In that spirit, I saw this on another blog, and decided I’d like to do it here. It’s a difficult one, because I tend to say whatever I want to anyone I want. Here goes -

List ten things you want to say to people you know but you never will, for whatever reason. Don't say who they are. Use each person only once.

1. Can’t believe you answered my long letter with a short email. Your marriage is a sham, and she is going to eventually kill you and take all your money to support her slutty, lazy daughter.

2. I can’t believe I never realized how selfish and needy you are. All I wanted was one day that was mine – my wedding day – and you just couldn’t pull yourself together to be supportive and happy for me. I’m sorry you hated your own wedding day, and that your marriage is a miserable one. Get a divorce already or get some serious therapy before one of you has a heart attack!

3. I’m sorry things ended badly with us. You were a great friend to me when I needed one, and I was hoping to reconnect with you now that things are going well for me. I’m sorry I picked the wrong day for that. Hope you are doing well and that you are happy.

4. I am certain we would have been friends if we had met in person and not on cyberspace. I enjoy reading your blog, and hope that it continues to be good therapy for you. I will continue to write any supportive words I can, but probably will never tell you who I am.

5. You make me feel short and unpretty whenever you are near me, and I honestly feel that you want me to feel that way. I hope one day you can realize and appreciate me without feeling so threatened that you need to give me backhanded compliments.

6. Please don’t marry him. You deserve a strong man who will put you first…a man who you don’t need to make excuses for.

7. I love you, and I’m a better person because of you. You probably know that, but now I’m really far away.


Ok, that’s all I can think of for now.

Happy Holidays everyone! Here’s to a happy and prosperous New Year.
