This is a note to my talented friends, my creative friends, and my generally well read friends:

Ahem.

Dear friends,

I know that I have been slack in reading your books…the ones you have written and the ones you have lent me. And I know I am behind on your hilarious and sometimes dramatical blogs. They have been piling up in my inbox, I admit. And what of those of you who have been in movies on the big screen…even starred in these movies? No. I have not sat down to watch them. Yet. Still others of you send me your photography, asking that I look through it and let you know what I think.

I will. I promise I will.

But as of right now, I have:

7 or 8 books to read
6 or 7 blogs to peruse
1 movie to watch
2 or 3 photography pages to pore over

So, please know that I consider enjoying what you have shared with me as part of my catching up process. It might not happen right away, but it will happen. I ask that you just be patient.

Thank you.

Love,

Lori

And this is a note to my friends who are not talented, do not read, and generally don’t do much of anything:

Dear friends,

Thank you. You don’t know how much your laziness and overwhelming disinterest in knowledge and art means to me at this time.

Much love,

Lori
