In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Now don't get me wrong, my beloved. I appreciate your seriousness as much as your happiness. Marriage is a serious business, and I want you to be happy with me. It's sad that some people fall like toy soldiers, but I must work on your happiness first. This is because I love you, and I need you.
For dinner tonight is cheeseburgers. I'm sorry, but I have had a terrible craving for cheeseburgers lately. This time I have lettuce to go with it. I'm out of bread though, so unless I buy some bread tomorrow, I won't be having cheeseburgers again. Oh, I ate your portion. I hope you don't mind.
I haven't seen Chee Cheah since yesterday. The last I saw her, she was hanging out by the amra tree at the top of my driveway by your house inshaAllah. Today all I saw of her is her restraining collar right at the spot I last saw her. She couldn't have taken that collar off by herself, but if she did then she must be in hiding until she has had her fill of scratching herself to pieces. But she's an old kitty. Ya Allah, please protect and heal all my kitties.

Aw Erin, please don't be blue! My poor sweet Erin, please don't pout. I want you to be optimistic, because I love you so much. You are MY girl, and you mean the world to me. So cheer up little camper, OK? You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me. I love you, and I need you.
I'm having such a terrible craving for cheeseburgers! So I had cheeseburgers again for dinner, and now that I just ate, I want more cheeseburgers! What's wrong with me? Why do I want cheeseburgers? I went to the butcher this morning. I had the opportunity to buy tenderloin, but I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love tenderloin and sirloin, but sometimes there's just not enough fat on the cut. The steer was big and fat, I could see that. But there wasn't enough fat on the tenderloin cut for me to grab that. So I bought rib meat instead. I thought about having steak and potatoes for dinner, but I got a craving for cheeseburgers instead. No you can't have my cheeseburger! Oh OK, you can. Wait, I ate it already!
I'll write again tomorrow inshaAllah. Meanwhile, please make a donation to a worthwhile charity of a minimum of one US dollar.

Wha... you're mad at me again? What did I do? I did catch that video of your doing that basketball jump. I think you are so beautiful and feminine, and I love you very much. And I need you.
For dinner today is cheeseburgers! I've had a craving for cheeseburgers. Burger buns are hard to find recently for whatever reason. Maybe the MacDonald's mob is putting the squeeze on burger bun makers. But I think sliced bread tastes better anyway. I'm not rationalizing, sliced bread does taste better! I made some mayo this morning. It's a good batch, nice and smooth. I also made hot sauce, great for dipping chicken nuggets, fried calamari, or stuffed won tons. I couldn't find any lettuce anywhere, well I was too lazy to go downtown, but the tomatoes were great. I did find some big, fat, and fresh cuttlefish. Such great looking squid, hardly any smell at all. I got 4 in a kilo, that will make some hefty fried calamari. Oh I'm sorry, but I ate your burger since you're not here. I'll probably make cheeseburgers again soon, so please make sure you show up for dinner.

Hi Erin! How are you today, my darling? I just saw that new Victoria's Secret ad that got posted recently, you know the one with you and Lindsay and 2 other girls. That is current, right? I'll put it on my TV station. You are my most beautiful girl, of course. Because you are MY girl. You are the one I love, and I need you.
My Bob Cat caught a fever at the same time I did. You can tell if a cat has a fever without a thermometer by embracing it to feel if it's too hot (compare with a healthy cat). Also, it has no appetite and is listless. So I gave him a fever reducer, and he took it quite easily. The next time I saw him, he seemed better, but still a little low in energy. So I tried to give him another pill, but this time he struggled and I couldn't get the pill in. Plus he stuck his claw in my pinky, and it bled profusely. Bobby knew people were watching, so he put on a great act by dry heaving and spitting out- BLEAH! BLEAH! POOI! POOI! I didn't get anything in his mouth! Next he didn't show up for dinner. If he still has a fever next time I see him, I'm going to have to dissolve the pill and use a syringe.

Argh! I couldn't gt all my sinus fluids dumped! The Flu Virus Collective got wise to my defense, and only allowed half the mucus to go. I know it's totally unromantic to talk about snot in a love letter, but I believe that infected sinus fluids are extremely dangerous, and is the primary cause of influenza, pneumonia, and meningitis. The sinus cavity needs to be emptied when infected. How would you empty the sinus cavity of an infant? With one of those suction balls?
So I had a very rough time getting through voice training. Not just a raw throat, but trying to fight suffocation while singing. I kept wanting to pass out, but I countered that with 3 minute naps during the set. I suppose that would be funny to look at if I were on stage, but it certainly doesn't feel funny to me. It feels like death. Gah! I hate singers. Divas, all of them.
I'm not fasting, but I'm sitting here waiting for them to call the sunset prayer. I still haven't broken the fasting month habits. The village is full of strangers during the holidays. My boy cats who spend their lives outside, have been very busy. Especially Bat Cat III, always on the scent of some other dirty secret. For dinner is leftover rice and chicken. I try not to waste anything, besides I'm not in the mood to cook right now. I pray you're healthy and eating well and getting plenty of rest. I love you, and I need you.

HI Erin Sweetie. Today is the Eid. I'm not fasting. Anyway. it's past sunset and I'm watching "Stroszek". It's a German movie with Mexican subtitles (or is that Portuguese?), and I don't know what the hell is going on. I spent the first half hour draining my sinus cavity, so I was watching the drip and listening to German chatter. I'm going to have to play the movie over again. My Mom (and her gang) made a ton of tomato rice, and I have leftovers in my cooler. Well not a ton, but I have over 3 liters of leftover tomato rice. I'll cook that up after the night prayer later, and watch "Stroszek" again. I've been eating the same thing over and over again today. Fireworks have been popping incessantly at night, last night and right now. Floofy didn't like them last night, but now she's gotten used to it, and is just sleeping away on my prayer rug. Fireworks aren't a big production out here in the kampung, but many many independent displays permeate the night until the wee hours, taking the time where karaoke once ruled. Oh no, I made too much tomato rice fried rice! I'll be eating tomato rice again tomorrow. Alhamdulillah.
Let's see if I understand the movie. Bruno's a musician who just gets out of jail gets into trouble with some pimps, then he and his friends move to midwest America where they finance a trailer home, but it gets repoed so they go rob a band but the bank is closed so they rob a barber instead but the old man gets caught and Bruno is left alone and hijacks a ski lift where he goes around and around up and down with a frozen turkey and a shotgun waiting for the cops to get him. How's that? Lots of nice little nuances in the movie.
I don't get sentimental about the holidays, but I wish you were here with me. We can do things over and over again together in comfort, security and joy inshaAllah. How's that? Erin, you have to keep stable and mundane for your children. I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin! The fasting month is officially over! No more staying up all night. I don't know why that happened to me, but now I can stay up late. That's what I'm going to do tonight, and eat lots of snacks. I'm not one for celebrating public holidays. I think it's because I have to work everyday, but my parents love the Eid. I prefer Ramadan over the Eid. The routine tomorrow is that after the Eid prayer in the morning, I hang out at my parents' house and eat all day. Since tomorrow is also Friday, there's also the Friday prayer to attend in the afternoon. But otherwise, it's the same old day for me. I think I'll cut grass over at your house inshaAllah. Maybe I'll have time to burn the compost. It's been hot and dry, so maybe all that vegetation has dried up enough to burn.
You must be busy nowadays. I hope you're not getting too caught up in the competition of it all. You are MY girl, so that makes you the most beautiful girl in the world to me. I want you to be nice to your fashion designers, and treat their clothes with great respect. Can you do that for me? I love you, and I need you.
