A Desperate Plea to Oprah’s Angels…..

Dec 152009

Dear Oprah,

On behalf of some very dear friends who are planning to get married this Saturday, I am desperately needing help that maybe only you can offer……

Meet my friends, Noemy and Traves.

Noemy and Traves met and fell in love through mutual friends in the spring of 2008. In the past year, Traves followed his calling and joined the military and has been away ever since. The two of them have maintained a very strong relationship throughout Traves’s training and this past October the two of them got engaged. Traves requested a personal leave to come home for the Holidays so they set the date for December 19th, 2009. 3 days from now.

The past 8 weeks that Noemy and Traves have been engaged have been a whirlwind of excitement for my dear girlfriend, with all of the wedding plans coming into place in such a short amount of time. I have never seen Noemy happier in her life than in these recent weeks leading up to the wedding, which is supposed to take place this Saturday.

Then a bomb was dropped.

The hall that Noemy is supposed to get married at has been double booked. She received a call today that she no longer has a place to get married.

She is devastated beyond words! Traves will be home on Thursday 12/17 until the 1st of January and then they will not be able to see each other again until April. There are many people trying to work their magic to find Noemy and Traves a place to get married with just 3 days notice, but so far it has not been successful.

Where oh where can Traves and Noemy get married and have room for a party of 200 guests???!!!!

Oprah, please help!!

PS I understand you do a million great things for so many and that many people have needs greater than that of my request but you would make my friends so happy :)

Thanks for reading, have a great day ;)

Dear Spring,

Is this some kind of joke? What exactly do you think you’re doing when you send 4-6 inches of snow on the Monday of my SPRING break??
I was not fortunate enough to go South to spend time with your cousin (the real Spring) this week, so I had hoped you would come through for me.
Every time I do think you are actually here to stay, you pull this disappearing act.
Can’t you just be consistent, already????!!!!!
Is that too much to ask?
Please come back so we can play together this week.
(The warm version).

Kristi

Or should I say WacArnolds?

Or Crack Don’s??

Mickey D’s or whatever.

Its OVER between us.

I know it has been a LONG time since I have been to visit you, but as the whole world as my witness, I will not be back to your restaurant for a LONG, LONG time, if EVER again. Not unless you offer the only food left on earth. (And even then maybe I would rather starve to death??!!)

It has been 6-7 months since I last visited during your "regular" menu hours because I was sick of you screwing up my order every dang time. When I say NO CHEESE I mean it. I cannot eat your nasty-A$$ American cheese. I do NOT want your filet-o-fish with enough tartar sauce smothered on it to gag a whale. And why would you give me honey mustard for my nuggets but fail to put the nuggets in the dang bag???? Countless calls to you and promises of "free"coupons to make up for the nasty food I had already paid for and couldn’t eat would’ve helped, but NEVER ONCE did you send me any of my coupons you promised.

I told myself that I would not be coming back to visit you, however your breakfast service at my local McD’s was actually quite good. Very friendly. And since there is nothing else (breakfast-related) on my way to work, I actually looked forward to my sausage and egg McMuffin WITHOUT CHEESE every couple of weeks or so.

BUT Just when I thought you could be trusted with my breakfast order, you had to go and put CHEESE on my breakfast sandwich this morning. Gag me with an effin spoon!!!! What a waste of $2.12, straight into the dang garbage can once I got to work this morning.

So I am done, Mickey D’s.

This was your last chance and you blew it. I won’t even bother calling to complain because I am sick of your empty promises.

Don’t expect to see me around anymore!

PS Einstein Bagels was always my first choice for breakfast but they closed a few months ago. Boo hoo!
