My BFF in the whole wide world, Mary, said something that inspired me today. I had written an email to someone trying to be as PC, as socially proper, and just plain nice as could be...and still get MY way, of course. She said:

Damn, Laura. You sound good!

I think what you have said sounds very nice and sweet, and trying so hard to avoid making a faux pas should make up for any faux pas that you might make.

I told her that I always sound good. I always got KUDOS for this sorta writing at work, and now I should figure out a way to make money at it.

Before I continue with how Mary inspired me, I want to tell you about Mary. Mary and I are friends, great friends, maybe even best friends. Funny about Mary and my relationship...we weren't childhood friends, we weren't really even high school friends. We met half way through her senior year, then she went away to school a few months later. Our entire relationship has been long distance. I don't think that we have ever lived in the same town...ever! Mary is also, by far, the smartest person that I know. She not only has multiple degrees, but even after a night of partying can crawl in bed and read a book..such as The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. A book that I tried to read sober, and could barely began. Hell, even the movie with two of my faves Christian Slater and Sean Connery left me wondering....Wait! What? You get the picture. Well, she completely floored me not too long ago, by saying that I was one of the smartest people that she knew. Who knew? Little ole me? We obviously have our talents, and thankfully are impressed by each others. I have the gift to gab, possibly write, and novice computer skills...and she has well...everything else. No, I take that back....I think I can party better than she...oh, no wait, she lives in New Orleans, which throws me outta her partying league completely. She is also one of the funniest people that I have ever met.


So....I guess all this jabber is exactly how Mary inspired me. I really want to start blogging again. I will give a disclaimer.....no email, comments, or messages sent to me are safe. They may and will appear here. I mean from any program. Hell, maybe even snail mail. I can't divulge the email volley that I was telling Mary about, just yet...but look for it soon. Here we go...hold on!
