Dear Laurel,

I just received some disturbing news. Apparently the Monterey ranch house on the The Parent Trap, starring Hayley Mills, was a set. It isn't real. This was my dream house. As a young girl I imagined myself living there, sans the Hayleys, but most definitely with their dad. (Is it weird that even as a youngster I thought that Brian Keith was kinda hot?) Now I'm questioning lots of stuff in my life. What is real, and what is an illusion?

Dismayed and disillusioned.

Dear Laurel,

Being naughty isn't all it is cracked up to be, although some of it is VERY nice.
Raspberry sorbet is easy once you get the hang of it.

I have some nice Italian cotton/silk velvet for the robe, not sure about what I will use on the cuffs and trim, maybe a nice brocade. It will look and feel very nice against my skin.

Why am I not getting my work done? Could it be a the unseasonably nice weather we are having here?

Love,

Noor, who wants to get out of the city and see mountains or at least hills and trees.

Dear Bluemuse,

Have you considered watching the newer version of Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan? It's actually quite good and that house is nice, real and still standing. The leading actresses are not unfortunately but...

You might also find this interesting but maybe you had to be there, which I was and it was weird.

Everything is a matter of perception,

Noor

Dear Adre,

Yeah, "Andre" does sound a bit fey.

(No offense to all the Andres out there.)

Dear bluemuse,

Dear Phelia,

It's like a whirlwind of furry happiness!

If I had a dog, it would be a corgi.

I have a corgi story, but it's long and not very interesting to anyone but me.

Love,

Dear gravyrug,

The article Sean linked in the Reads thread is pretty funny.

Dear Noor,

That material sounds lovely.

Everyone I know is feeling unmotivated, but I'm full of motivation. Maybe I'm hogging it all?

Sorry, everyone. History says I'll be back to slackery soon.

Love,

Laurel

Dear Kyle,

We miss you! :heart: :rose: ;)

Dear cleaverroger,

It's a deal.

Unless I need something.

Then I may ask you, but feel free to tell me to go take a flying fuck at the moon at that point.

Or any point, actually. :rose:

Love,

Laurel
 
Dear Laurel,

Going to stay overnight at the 'rents' house tonight. Will you swing by around twilight and switch snake lights for me?

TIA.

Dear Perg,

We do not appreciate your lame practical jokes. Leave our lights alone.

Sincerely yours,

the "we know what you did" snakes.
 
Dear Laurel,

I saw that, yes, and cackled a bit. Fun stuff!

Laughingly yours,

Gravy.
 



Dear Laurel,

Are you a clandestine employee of the NSA ?​


If so, my prospective nomination as Cabinet Secretary might be jeopardized.​


Inquiring minds need to know.​


Very truly yours,
Trysail​



 
Dear Laurel,

I want to write you countless poems to thank you for being you. Fortunately for you, I'm not a poet. ;)

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Yours with extra sweet tea,

Dear Laurel,

My CD changer display currently reads "77:34". I can't help feeling this is a metaphor for my life.

Sincerely yours,

the "finding a sign" good little witch.
 
Dear laurel,

I'm pretty bitter right now. Righteously angry, if you will. It's taking a lot for me to not blast off and spill my guts. The only thing keeping that in check right now is my own pride and even that's worn thin.


Furiously infuriated,
me
 
Dear Perg,

Do what now?

Love,

Laurel

Dear gravy,

I'm so happy you cackled! This world needs more cackling, guffawing, and belly-laughing.

Love,

Laurel

Dear trysail,

Have no fear. I'm not an employee of anything, clandestine or otherwise.

Love,

Laurel

Dear bleggings,

You made me blush. Back atcha, because I'm not a poet either. :rose:

Love,

Laurel

P.S. Sweet tea is summer!

Healing blessings and a cool, dark, comfortable place for you. <gentle forehead smooch>

Dear Debbie,

Sad to read about Alfie! He sounds like a wonderful kitty. :rose: Amazing how often cats find their places as comforters in hospitals, hospices, and the like.

Dear Radiohead.

Dear lovetoread,

And listen to gravy!
