I got the new Get to Know Your Friends in 2010 email the other day. From my mother. And she indicated I would be the one least likely to respond. What? Me? 

I've gotten really good at keeping my inbox clean this year (more than 10 messages in my inbox and I start getting all twitchy) and it struck me while re-reading her email (and hovering over the delete key) that this is good, mindless blog fodder. So I scheduled this to post while we're out enjoying the great outdoors. You're welcome. And you're welcome to play along! Or just skip this post altogether.

Your first father's day w/o him and I forgot to text you. :( I know it had to be hard.

Love that you're camping and giving us these little tidbits. We can still be very good friends; however, the fact that you don't order cheese on your burger is about as odd as you not liking chocolate. Just sayin'.

Dressy Bessy? Never heard of it. Must check out your link.

No cheese? Are you lactose intolerant? (which is akin to I totally cannot relate to that! cheese is almost better than dessert, but doesn't come close to coffee.)

I generally skip those e-mails also, but you're right about blogs being a good option to share. :)
