i am lotus

Thanks for helping me cry. I needed it.

Dear Lotus,

I love you. Not in that way that’ll make both our husbands get excited, but in that, “I really, really, really admire you and have become a HUGE fan of yours and I want you to hang in there and know there’s a whole lot of people like me who are your cheerleaders. Only we don’t wear miniskirts… we wear sweatpants and oversized t-shirts and instead of pom poms we have any variation of adult beverage in our hands” way.

Like Allisun, my short letters have more profanity too.

I’ve been thinking about you lately.

Hi Sunshine.

Nothing like a spate of letters to rid you of writer’s block! Sorry that life sucks like that though.

Love you.

I’d still make out with you.

But if you could put the dog in another room, I’d appreciate it. He sounds scary.

oh lotus dear…i just love your short letters. love them. and i have hashimoto’s too…you’re absolutely right…it sucks. but i’d hate not having a reasonable excuse for being a crazy bitch. i use that excuse often. if i was “healed,” i’d have to accept responsibility. kwim? that would suck, too. just looking for the silver lining. hang in there. just throw those pink pieces of paper away. works for me.

Dear Lotus,
Thank you for making me laugh and cry all at once. I’m broken too, and no one seems to know what’s wrong – and I’ve just been put on *another* waiting list. I am done waiting.

But if I have to wait, I’m glad I at least get to read these glimpses of your funny, random, painfully real life between the teetering, towering piles of not-okay that periodically threaten to overwhelm me. Count me in on the virtual group hug that’s heading your way…

I think if more people made their hands stick up the middle finger instead of form fists, we’d all feel a little better.

Dear Lotus,

Here’s my short letter:

Dear Gluten,
You make me bloated like a puffer fish, tired as marathoner, and as angry as a demon. But I still love you and what you can do with a pizza crust. Love/hate, win/lose, in/out. Can’t we just get along?

Lotus, try to enjoy every birthday. It’s one more year for celebrate all you have been given. Good luck for good health.

Dear Lotus,

I was going to say thanks for rocking so damn hard, and then I saw that Kayla beat me too it. Well, thank you. Your new blog design kicks ass, too.

Always your fan,

Elizabeth

“If you were really as awesome as you claim to be, you’d give me my old bewbies back.” Old bewbies, how I barely knew thee. And Jillian, my butt hates her, my jeans totally dig her.

Oh, my belly. I’m laughing hard enough to skip my ab workout.

MWAH.

Now get your sweet arse to Australia. We have free healthcare. (well, compared to yours they practically pay US to treat)

Wonderful letters. I was at another blog, one I was never to before, and the posts were photos, and I thought, Wow, Sarcastic Mom really takes fantastic photos. She was a beginner, and she will get better, but

Your photography is STUNNING.

Dear Lotus- I love you. You rock hardcore!

I feel like an asshole for forgetting your birthday. So, feel free to write a dear asshole kind of letter.
Zoeyjane´s last blog ..On misquotations

We learned about Hashimoto’s and other thyroid conditions in class last month. I got teary for a moment because I thought about what the textbook didn’t say, knowing that it makes my friend suffer so.

It’s tragic (forgive my soapbox here) that people have made so many advances and supposed breakthroughs, and all we’ve come up with to treat our aches are more pain pills with side effects as bad as the original symptoms.

And for the rest of it, I agree totally. It’s way cool that I met another woman who enjoys farts like I do. Perhaps other letters to be written would be thank you’s to those who allow farts to exist in abundance ie, the carbonated beverage industry, the elements nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, intestinal flora, flabby buttcheeks, beans, cow’s milk, eggs, cruciferous vegetables, and notably, Mr. Methane, who is a genius.

But I digress.

I love you:)
