Your randamnosity makes my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteDear Blind Irish Pirate,
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are a good runner. I admire your athleticism. Also, thank you for having such a big heart & taking care of sick animals.
Love,
Gracie
I made pie and would share it with you if you were here (or I were there). Fancy a slice of strawberry rhubarb?
ReplyDeleteDear Kyli,
ReplyDeleteUmmmm...... FUCK YEAH, I fancy some strawberry rhubarb pie!! You are so generous (see above) and such a good writer (& baker, i presume). I'm so glad to know you.
Love,
Gracie
p.s. you also have the best blogger profile that I've ever seen!
ReplyDeletei totally have a lady boner for your blog.
ReplyDeleteyou are very witty darling. lots of great writing but the PB&J namaste tops the cake for me.
ReplyDeleteYou get to the heart of the matter swiftly with great prose (sometimes poetry) and sublime imagery.
ReplyDeleteP.S. When you visit Denver, I will make you a chocolate chip kugel.
Dear Naurnie,
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweet southern peach. I think you are very brave.
Love,
Gracie
ps. heheehe, you said "lady boner"
Dear Mle Jean,
ReplyDeleteThank you! But this isn't supposed to be about me! The comments link used to be "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches" but I heard that was confusing to people. Your spirit and good energy shines through the computer! Thanks for the light.
Love,
Gracie
Dear Raina,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what a kugel is (guess I should google!) but it sounds delicious (also, a little like a vadge workout.)
I think you're so facking hilarious and you have great taste. Thanks for making me guffaw on a regular basis.
Love,
Gracie
when i grow up, i want to be just like you. but i'm pretty sure i'm already older than you, so take that for whatever it's worth.
ReplyDeletexoxox
it is fishing though.. isn't it? :)
ReplyDelete@celia you know what is funny? i told w+m almost that exact same thing a couple of weeks ago. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteYou are fantastic in every way and not afraid to use rude words.
ReplyDeleteyou are adept in your use of armadillos.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best censor in all the world. Also, you have my favorite name for girls besides two other names for girls that are also my favorites. Also, you curse just enough.
ReplyDeleteDear Celia,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a compliment. Thank you. I think you're super fresh, sassy & honest. I like your take no bs attitude and I'm fairly convinced that you couldn't take a bad photo if your life depended on it (and your cat hella handsome.)
xoxo,
Gracie
Dear Battered,
ReplyDeleteYes, I s'ppose, maybe a little. But isn't it nice anyway? Who cares!
I admire your poise. And goddamn woman, you have the most gorgeous head of hair EVER. In the history of ever.
Love,
Gracie
Dear Elissa,
ReplyDeleteTalk about generosity...you're the most giving person in the whole world!
Thanks for still talking to me even though I'm the worst package sender ever. I swear your box is still sitting in the corner of my office. If I do one thing this summer...
Also, you're a haiku master.
Love,
Gracie
ps. but seriously, E.-- change your name! It's starting to make me angry, because you're cute as all get out.
ReplyDeleteyou are funny, thoughtful, and fancy. we need to meet up if you come to nyc this summer! ♥
ReplyDeleteDear Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me happy AND sigh. Keep being the sweet person you are!
Love,
Gracie
Dear Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! Who knew censorship could be so much fun? I lub the way you say lub. I said it before and I'll say it again, I think you're pure magic. Your writing makes me melt.
Lub always,
Gracie
(though not a lot of people call me that IRL :( )
ps. what are the other 2 names?
Dear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteFancy?!? Moi? Hahahaha. You are very honest and passionate. Wish I could be more of both!
Love,
Gracie
ps. you also have grrrrreat taste in music!
you're a wily writing ninja who cracks boards in half with word choice.
ReplyDeleteDear Lauren,
ReplyDeleteHIIIIIIIIIYAAAAHHHHHHH! So, so nice of you to say. Now if only I can figure out how to monetize those ninja skillz :/
I've been meaning to fangirl you some more. Mainly about how awesome I think you are. I mean, c'mon, you're CAT'S NAME IS STEVE NASH!!!?! I ♥ Steve Nash! (and pavement, and ferns, and...and...and..)
I'll save some for later.
Love,
Gracie
while we're on the subject of breaking stuff, our other cat's name is charles bronson.
ReplyDeleteMind=blown.
ReplyDeleteyour greatness mustcome from the amazingness that is your mother. you weave lovely tales of her and nasa jak is my envy goat.
ReplyDeleteDear S,
ReplyDeleteThat is so kind of you to say. She is a wild woman. I can only hope to turn out a fraction like her. Less crazy. I've SO MANY stories, it sounds as though you do too.
I think you have a very gentle and warm soul. I've really enjoyed viewing your metamorphosis from afar. Not to mention you're incredibly stunning.
Love,
Gracie
I would only do it for you (because you have introduced me to the term "circle jerk").
ReplyDeleteYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER ♥
ReplyDeletegracie, i love you!
ReplyDeleteand as for the picture thing... i bet if you looked through my mom's facebook albums, you'd quickly change your mind.
You send fabulous mail. Yours was the best care package I ever got, and I didn't even deserve it, which made it even better. Thank you for being snarky and sarcastic and smart and not making me feel shitty about my little baditude problem by posting preciousness every day. Kissus.
ReplyDeleteDear P.,
ReplyDeleteOh. Mah. Gah. WPM is the first blog that fell head over heels for. When I first found it, I read all the way back in the archives. I savor each word in every post (ew, okay now it's beginning to sound creepy.)
Your writing is so smart, HILARIOUS, heartwarming, and honest. You're the best story teller EVER. WPM is definitely my desert island blog.
...AND your parents are absolutely adorable. ...AND now you're MARRIED! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I could gush on for ages, but I'll stop here.
Love ALWAYS,
Gracie
p.s. you send great mail yourself ♥
Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world would I be without you? Me and my brass clad pinky adore you.
Your online presence and angelic little phone voice soothes my soul.
Beaches 2k.
miew.
P, I agree.
ReplyDeleteI heart you too. :-D
circle jerk. YAY!
Dear Melody,
ReplyDeleteI love you this much. My life would not nearly be as rich without you in it.
You're the most effervescent person I've ever met. In a truly genuine way. Charisma oozing out of every pore. I can only hope to be as open, kind, generous, warm, CUTE as you someday. I'd be happy with just an ounce of it.
Thank you for being a friend. Beaches get steeches.
Love you so much,
Grace
Your use of cumdumpster a few posts back has sealed my love upon you forever. I hope you're ok with that.
ReplyDeleteALSO
I love your use of post labeling and I always leave your blog feeling like I have just taken a shot of whiskey(Not the part where things burn and your face tries not to crinkle up, the part when you start feeling all warm and fuzzy and ready to make bad decisions).
Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm SO okay that. Thank you for loving me....... and putting up with my wretched memory (OMFG, DID YOU HAVE A BABEEEE????), and having a bridge pack with me (NO, DUMBASS, IT'S MY FRIEND'S!).
You seem like a lot of fun and you must have a very nice green thumb, given the name of your blog. You also seem like a GREAT friend. I love your photos, words, and lists.
Love,
Grace
ps. glad you like the labels! it's so hard to keep them from taking over the entire page.
pps. thank you, the whiskey sentiment is SO SO AWESOME! Just be careful, don't fall and bash your knee in 6" wedges.
your skillful witty prose, reputable badass-ness and undeniable allure inpsires me and you have equally charming bloggers for friends.
ReplyDeletep.s. the love overflowing in this post makes me happy and jealous! <3
Dear Ivane,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm a reformed bad-ass, hehe. You are so soulful & intelligent. I wish you were my little sister!
Love,
Grace
