Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
You guys may not know, but the Vermonster and I took a very long time to get together. I very very sneakily pursued him for many months before he’d date me. A few months into us officially dating (but about a year after we first met), he went on a long vacation. I had the idea that I should start emailing him photos of me and Nail at home. My first email simply read:
Subject: Nali dawg
He replied:
Are you sending me these pics so I won’t forget you guys?
… and so a trend was born. I emailed him photos whenever he or I was gone, even for a few days. Don’t tell him, but I even have a email folder called “Pics for G.”
But I have to admit, the best use of the photo email came when we actually broke up for a short spell. I went out to a friend’s ranch for a weekend trip that he was supposed to come on, but didn’t, since we had broken up. We rode four-wheelers, played in the river, and shot skeet. My friend snapped a pic of me in short-short daisy dukes, aiming the rifle high in the air.
HOT.
So obviously I had to email it to him.
And we got back together. Not because of that photo, of course.
Possibly because of some intense emails.
Thank god for email. I mean really. Where would modern courtship be without it? A safe place to be a little bolder than you would be in person … a private communicado between you and your love …
It’s sort of like this video:
Email. Love.
