I loved it!<br /><br />Dear Holbsy,<br />We all know how amazing/wonderful/sexy/irritating/adorable/manly you are, and the only way we could have known is by what Natalie writes about you. If everyone here is a fan of yours, it's only because Natalie was a fan of yours first! ;-)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436000954617741702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-26349061670362231642010-08-04T11:25:12.915-04:002010-08-04T11:25:12.915-04:00fabulous!fabulous!sugoandsunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394567545642628172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-70941861753762636802010-08-04T08:05:23.040-04:002010-08-04T08:05:23.040-04:00Instead of a letter, maybe you could just make a l...Instead of a letter, maybe you could just make a list of all the reasons you adore him? I recently hung from the ceiling 34 reasons I love my 34 year old. My kids helped. My hubby really loved the homemade present. Maybe this would be easier for your non-mushy self. However, I do love your letters from the past!

They were doing the long distance thing while I lived with her, and he would send her these really cute packages to the "future Mrs. so and so," and she would just roll her eyes and get embarrassed. The rest of us roommates loved to give her a hard time about it (because she would get even more exasperated).<br /><br />It sounds to me that there are plenty of other ways that you show the Holbs that you love him. And the fact that you've devoted several posts to him is something of a love note, no?Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986411445280117679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-46319167534895706642010-08-03T16:01:15.517-04:002010-08-03T16:01:15.517-04:00I'd love you a million times over if you gave ...I'd love you a million times over if you gave me a letter like that!

(even though he'd just departed for chicago for a three day weekend.) sometimes it's fun to take on a persona...it makes it seem less mushy and much more hilarious :)emily b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00105170054487194888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-55282619347951119382010-08-03T13:43:50.211-04:002010-08-03T13:43:50.211-04:00Check out "Love Letter of Great Men."

Heh heh...<br /><br />I'm not going to tell you what to write, but I'd say stay away from words like "crap" and omit anything that talks about wanting to strangle him, perchance? And when you're talking about his ideals and aspirations, maybe go to dictionary.com (where they also have a thesaurus!) and look up the antonyms. In fact, look up the antonyms for all the less-than-romantic words that naturally come to thy head, and maybe it'll sound a bit more...loving?<br /><br />I loved this post, Natalie.

What man can't appreciate that? Would your Holbs prefer instead a whole pack of lies about he is all awesome all the time? I prefer your teasing about his impatience and your needing an aspirin. That's what's endearing about them.<br />So perhaps you should be tuteling us.Jodie | Velourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934490293293685281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-33328544775491223352010-08-03T06:02:01.741-04:002010-08-03T06:02:01.741-04:00Half-starved monkey and strangle him, eh?
