In the past week I've received several variations on this email, below, from "Kathlneen Galloway," "Ernest Graham," "Manuel Tipton," "Kermit Veles," and "Perry Sandoval." Above and below the text you are about to read are ads for steeply discounted cialis and viagra that can be found if I go to a certain url made up of numbers only.
First off, I just think this is kind of wonderful and beautifully absurd text and I wish I could recite it for you, because it's better when I recite it (In sixth grade, I was one of the middle school finalists in the annualdeclamation contest for my rendition of "Annabel Lee" but then that fat fuck Geoff Pemberton beat me with "Green Eggs and Ham," which was like he totally wasn't taking it seriously but no oneelse was either so they all voted for him like it was a joke even though Mrs. Relihan totally wanted me to win. I'm pretty sure I was a finalist again a year later for Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm," and Pemberton was just a big loserface by then.).
I suppose I could recite it on my computer camera, post it to Youtube, and then embed it here, but I've never posted to Youtube (just "youporn" – kidding, I've never even heard of "youporn"). But if you demand it, after reading the text, I will indeed do all that, for you, my public, because that's the kind of guy I am.
No, no, come to think of it, don't even bother to ask or thank me, next week, I WILL recite this for you on video! But for now, and with out further ado, I give you what I'm calling, "I am going to turn on some good music and choose to be happy." Oh, wait, one more bit of ado. My question for you is why, exactly, spammers stick these lovely texts in the midst of their spams. I guess it has something to do with getting past filters, but I thought that was mostly a subject line thing. Actually, it does seem to be getting past my spam filter, so, hmmmm. Anyone? Oh, and please note all the lovely echoes and refrains.

and you eat with your sunglasses on
may you always have courage to take a chance and never find frogs in your underpants.

3. i think that packages stacked all over the house are a nice decorative touch (and they remind me how good people are to donate to project 31) happy things!
and i love it (thanks, coco).
really, cate is also mexican, japanese, native american, swiss, and a lot more- a true american- so we actually have a lot of family history travelling to do, but i really love the romantic beauty of ireland, and have always been drawn to that part of the world. plus i really love corned beef.
here's an irish blessing from us to you…
soft and long lacy scarf light enough for spring, extra long for winter wrapping, elegant enough for church, cute enough for a tshirt…i really love this scarf pattern (gee can you tell?). fat
i am craving some sunshine.

4. i don't worry about a little "creative clutter" in cate's room. i say, a good dress up/ barbie mess day better than watching tv all afternoon, right? pretty soon i will just put my 'kerchief on again and go to town. (yes, that is what cate's room looks like again, just over a month after the big clean. i tell you, i'm fighting a losing battle with that girl). does that answer your question, mary? i hope it helps! wink.
cate was so happy she began yelling "let's give a hand to springtime!
she wears birkenstocks to fashion shows.
last minute trip to idaho to see my sister- so much better than home blogging!
we ate corned beef and cabbage with irish soda bread last night in preparation for the day of the irish.
i found that amazing old shirt (we're big fans) at the thrift store for $1 and it's so soft.
and i love it (thanks, coco).
i told cate about st. patrick's day and ireland- she has a lot of irish ancestors through me.
we are happily enjoying being able to play outside again.

What are your tips for clearing clutter so you can focus on such a project as sewing?" well mary, let me answer your question by showing you some examples of how i deal with clutter in different areas of my home:
we ate corned beef and cabbage with irish soda bread last night in preparation for the day of the irish.
and my wheels are turning with projects to put together for a locals knitting class.
