hillarygayleIn which I get some spam created entirely of cliches
Well, today I got this email. I'm pretty sure it's spam, but it's very unusual spam, so its got me wondering whether some poor schlub may have accidentally sent his love letter to the wrong email address. In more ways than one.
I'm Frank Nowak Wicker like you already know, 46 years old live in Montana, USA, I'm single with my son he is 5yrs old i have never been married I enjoy boating, hiking, camping,fishing, nature, walks on the beach, sunsets, movies, music, cooking, and quiet nights at home. I'm a Contractor working as a petroleum refining consultant for a large multinational corporation. I travel to Europe,Australia-New Zea land, and Asia on work-related assignments...I am a God fearing man, with good morals and values am honest I do not cheat or play games, I can't stand seeing some one been intentionally hurt I have had my heart broken before and will never pass that kind of pain to a woman I'm a simple man with a big heart you will find that i am very caring, understanding, patient,loving and kind. I am full of passion and romance, and have an endless amount of love to offer the right woman I'm searching to find that one woman that will take my breath away, the one woman that I can never stop thinking of for any reason, the one woman that the mere whisper of her name brings a smile to my face.
She must be not only my best friend, but also my soul mate. My commitment to this woman will be till the end of time when i find her asking her hand in marriage is all i ever hope for, I must tell you that I am also old fashioned in my beliefs and would defend and protect this woman at any cost for any reason.
I believe that a woman should be able to look up to her man for protection, for well being, and for strength. I intend on fulfilling these roles without failure, I will be this one special woman's knight in shinning armor. This special woman will know that I am deeply in love with her, for I am the type of man that showers her in my love, Whether it be flowers, gifts of candy or jewelry, or just a simple "I love you" and a kiss, she will always know she is loved and appreciated. I hope to have caught your attention with this letter, and would like to discover who you really are, and how much love you have inside of your heart after been heart broken, For you could be the woman i am searching for.
The only person that truly knows that answer is God himself. I am willing to take the chance and see, if you are willing to get along. Someone once told me "It is better to have lived life and regret what we have done, than to never to have lived and regret doing nothing." I believe this to be true. If you decide that you are interested in discovering the real me and seeing if I'm the man you are searching for, please write back to me. I will patiently be awaiting your letter.
I am looking forward to your response soon
I'm seriously doubting it, because googling the name doesn't turn up any real people (there are a couple of Frank Nowaks). But wow. What an email. A woman who needs defense & protection & to look to a man for her well-being...this spambot is DEFINITELY barking up the wrong tree! :D I'm about as unlike Spammy's dream girl as its possible to be.
In which Dallas was both hot & fun
In other news, we're home from Dallas. Had a great time with Mimi & Augie, but it's nice to be home. It's cooler here, for one thing. I know 95 degrees F is not "cool", but when I compare it to the oven-like atmosphere & 105 deg F of Frisco... It was really bad. The sun radiated down, then the heat reflected back up off the concrete, and when there was a breeze, it felt like the gust of hot air out of the oven when you open it. It was so hot the swimming pool felt like soup during the hottest part of the day; you had to swim in the early morning or late evening.
We did go eat at a SUPER cool restaurant called Whiskey Cake. It was in Plano, & I had the best salmon burger I've ever tasted, as well as the whiskey cake that gives the place its name. It was a lightly spiced cake with pecans, vanilla bean sauce, & fresh whipped cream. The restaurant is one of those with a variable menu; they always have certain core items, but sometimes those items are slightly different. The devilled eggs, for example: this week they had a tiny bit of pulled pork & a cherry-Serrano jelly on top. Next week they might have smoked salmon on top. in addition, they have a large roster of foods that change based on what's available seasonally, because they source as much food as they can locally! I was really impressed. They have GORGEOUS outdoor seating, & when it's not so blistering hot in Hell Texas, I'd like to go back & sit outside.
The whiskey cake itself.
Snagged some things on sale at Torrid. I love going there because we don't have one in my part of the country. The one in Frisco is literally the only one to which I have access regularly. 3 shirts & a skirt, all on buy one/get one 50% off clearance. I went by Ulta instead of Sephora this time. So of course I joined THEIR rewards program. It was free. :)
Please note the new lip color. :)
Prompted by one of my favorite docs at work, I discovered Biscoff cookies & Biscoff spread! I got them at World Market, along with a killer cute shoulder wrap. I wish I'd gotten the set of stacking coffee mugs in rainbow colors. It was only $15. :(
In which COOL SCIENCE HAPPENS
We got to watch the Curiosity landing! We were gonna put Ganon to bed & stay up, since it was at midnight our time. But as we were doing that, it occurred to me that we had an 8-hour drive for him to sleep the next day, & it's not every day that NASA lands a nuclear-powered rover the size of my car on Mars, on the other side of the sun, using the largest supersonic parachute ever & a rocket powered sky crane. This was science history! So we relented & at 11pm, Ganon & I went out for tacos & shakes (we determined this was appropriate landing food), & came back to watch. Little scientist did not make it to the landing. He fell asleep about 11:45.
I tried to wake him when we had entry, but even though I squeezed his cheeks & put him in my lap, he was fast asleep! So when they announced touchdown, I was crying Happy Science Tears with a 6-year-old in my lap, who will someday know he sorta witnesses history. :) Also, I'm also in love with Mr. Fedorski, otherwise known as NASA Mohawk Guy. If I had to pick a favorite rocket scientist, though, it might've been the lady with the super long, super straight red hair, or Gandalf.
In which there's a creeper at Target
Yesterday was Starbucks Appreciation Day. I can't say I went there BECAUSE of that, but I did remember, & I did want an iced Americano yesterday after the farmers market, so I went into Target, which houses Jonesboro's only Starbucks. As I walked in, I IMMEDIATELY noticed a man looking oddly at me. Not just me, but every person who went to the counter. He was staring very intently, as though he relished making people uncomfortable. Well, I'm not down with that. I am VERY into non-verbal communication & I think people should be as polite with that as with verbals, so I looked back, held his gaze, & arched an eyebrow with a very clear "Can I HELP you?" type look. He looked away from me, but didn't stop staring at the other patrons. He was wearing a shirt with an obnoxiously neon Bible verse printed on it in all caps (JESUS is the WAY, the TRUTH, & the LIFE!!!!!1omg!). People who know me well know that I get extremely accurate "feelings" from people when I'm near them. I am very sure this is because I'm intuitively VERY good at interpreting nonverbals, but the closest description I can use is that people "feel" like things. Happiness feels like jumping up & down, specifically on a trampoline. Sadness feels like someone strangling me, but not with fingers; more like holding something thick & hot around my neck. Someone panicking feels like whirling wind, & so on. Well, this guy felt like a sustained prod, like someone stabbing you with their finger & holding it there. That is focused intensity in my experience.
I don't know why, but I really feel in my bones like this guy was trying to figure out which people were there just to get coffee & who was there because they appreciated Starbucks' stance on gay marriage. That would not be strange in my ultra-conservative, Bible belt part of the country, & it just creeps me straight out. My first thought upon recognizing that was "He could have a gun", and then I thought "That's ridiculous. Don't be so paranoid." Then I realized, yes. Maybe that's a little paranoid...but it isn't ridiculous. It happens.
In which I have things to look forward to!
Tomorrow I get to go play with my Borgs! Q & I are heading to Little Rock to see Jess, & we're going to do stuff & things. I want to talk them into riding the trolley to the Argenta District.
This autumn is going to be made of music for me. First up, in September, are 2 album releases. The Jeff Coffin Mu'tet releases "Into the Air" on September 4, (please note, the anniversary of my having passed the boards & become an RN) & Dave Matthews Band releases "Away from the World" on September 11. Then, Bassnectar plays in Little Rock on October 10 at the amphitheater, & BIG GIGANTIC IS COMING OCTOBER 30. *flails* with both the Mu'tet & DMB releasing albums, I have to think at least one of them will tour. If DMB doesn't, the Mu'tet certainly will; they're touring in the short period of time between DMB's last show & the upcoming Gorge event! So either way, there will definitely be one of my favorite bands touring.
Today, Ganon & I are alone, since Bryan had to go on a teacher field trip. :) They all went to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. I told him to take pictures. I suppose now I have to figure out what me & mr. Crazy Pants are gonna do today.
