Dear Manny,
I heart you Manny, I really do. You are a big mush when you want to be and your grooming habits are impeccable. You are a connoisseur of kicking back and you come when you’re called – how could a person not love that?! I love how you show me your belly when I get home from work. It's OK that you showing me your belly leads to rabbit kicks to my arms. I don’t mind your mood swings or the occasional hair balls you leave on the floor for my bare feet to find (OK, maybe I mind a little). I don’t even mind your cries for food every time I walk in the kitchen. But I have something to tell you, sweet Manny. I need to get this off of my chest:
I have a crush! It’s true – I can’t help it! I didn't want it to happen. I don't even know when it happened. It wasn't planned. Although miles and miles separate my crush and me (how far is it from NYC to Chicago?) – I still can’t help oohing and awing over him. I can’t help staring at his pictures or giggling at his you tube videos. Siiiigh.
He’s just so different from you. He’s dark; he loves going for walks; doesn’t mind a little vacuuming; and takes lounging to a whole new level. A seriously whole new level. I’m not saying he’s better than you, just different. His name? Data. Yes, he’s a cat.
Alas, he belongs to Kim, but I can’t help loving him, too. Click on the links, you'll see what I mean.
don't worry -you'll always be my Mannicotti Biscotti.
Love,
Me.

Oh Manny!! She'll always be your Mommy.
Too funny, Gina.
Hee hee! You are so sweet Gina! And I see you took my title quite literally - using it to make Manny jealous! :) I hope he sees this and gives you extra love tonight! I will tell Data I have a crush on Manny and see if that gets me anywhere!
P.S. It's 712 miles! (792 if you drive)

Manny, the distance is even greater to Colorado and my kids think you ARE the cat's meow!!!!
No One and I mean, NO One is better than Mansfield!
Dear Manny,
We're considering getting a cat.
Kindly advise.
