dear internet,

Gosh, you’re quiet out there.

Like, super quiet.

I mean, I can see you reading, but you’re all shhhhhh.

Everyone keeps telling me you’re running around doing athletic endeavours in the sunshine or taking a vacation somewhere exotic — anything but reading blogs — but I know better.

You’ve just been at work and reading Perez Hilton — isn’t that right? You’ve been watching Big Brother, haven’t you? And emailing your friends about celebrity jail time? And going to end-of-season sales at T.J. Maxx? And Twittering your every move? And skipping barbeques to play Scrabble on Facebook? And chasing the ice cream man down the street with a 20-dollar bill?

Yeah.

I know you’re not horseback riding on the beach or doing yoga on cliffs or playing frisbee in the lake with your dog.

Let’s just be real here.

I want to know three things:

1. How you’re doing…

and

2. How you spent that summer vacation…

and

3. What you WISH you’d been doing all summer.

Okay! GO!

Yours lovingly and also from indoors,

Meg
