Hey Hath:

I left you a voicemail – sorry I missed you. Did you have fun with your girlfriends? I just wanted to send you a quick note. The guys all say thanks for the cameras, and even bigger thanks for sending the instructions (ha ha). None of them want their assistants’ help in getting them set up – they don’t want to admit they’re techno-losers, unlike yours truly, who already has it set up. Tico express mailed the extra one home to his wife, and he said to give you a big hug from him, so consider yourself hugged.

I’ll have my account set up soon, and we can chat. I miss you already.

Consider yourself hugged and kissed from me too.

Yours,
D

Hey, yourself, David:

I did get your voicemail, but not until I got up this morning. I figure you needed your beauty sleep (ha ha) so didn’t call ya back. Tell the guys you’re welcome, and their girls are nearly set up – they’ll just have to convince them to use the cameras! Queenie and Ang have them too, though Ang doesn’t know who you guys “really” are – we just want to talk with her IRL too. I will stroke your ego though. Remember that discussion we had about how every Jovi fan has her fave? Well guess who’s hers? Yeah, yeah, you. Quit gloating (LOL).

Tell Tico thanks for the hug – I didn’t want him feeling left out just because he isn’t banging one of my friends. Have a good time, well, not too good a time, and I look forward to seeing you real soon. I miss you too.

Big kiss to you, baby.
Hath

Subject: Sorry

Hey Baby:

OK, so like I said on the phone, yesterday before Jon so rudely interrupted for that stupid sound check thing, I’m set up on Skype. Sorry you have to get up so early again tomorrow (I guess I mean today); I wouldn’t have called you if I knew you had to be to work so damned early. When is that going to lighten up? Anyhow, here’s the proper spelling of the “handle” I’m using: HathorsJoker. I’ve already added JokersGoddess to my address book. I added the guys, too, and you can bet I’ll be prank-calling them later, ha ha. They may just hate you before the tour is over!

Just kidding. Not about the pranks, just about them hating you ;)

So anyway, have a good day, and I’ll “see” you soon!

So, Ang, huh? She’s UKFootyDunce, right? The one that sent the body chocolate? Hmmm…
Miss you,
J-man

Sweetie, I told you to call me anytime, and I meant it. My hours will only get worse as I get my Bangalore office online, but it’s OK. I will sort it out. I make up for lost time on the weekends… But honestly, I’d rather talk to you than sleep any night of the week.

And I’m not worried, the guys won’t hate me. Their happiness at seeing their girls will outweigh the – wait a sec – you CAN be pretty annoying (and I say that with nothing but love, baby teehee); I’ll tell the girls to tell them not to shoot the gift-giver. It’s not my fault you’re a pain in the ass. :P

Do I have to give you the “if you can’t play nice, I’m going to have to take the toys away” speech? Sheesh! lol

And yeah, Ang. And, I got another care package from her this week. I’m waiting for you before I open it.

Miss you too, baby,
Goddess

PS, Can’t wait to “see” you too…

PS2, I have someone looking over my shoulder, and he wants to know why I’m called Goddess. Sigh. Looks like I’ve got some ‘splaining to do! MWAH

Annoying, huh? OK, sweetheart. THAT is a dare. Another care package? Interesting. Gotta fly; Skype you tomorrow.

Boy are you in for it.

This is me, shaking in my boots. See it? NO? There ya go. THAT’S how worried I am. (ha ha)

Going out with some girlfriends tonight for ribs-n-‘ritas. There are a bunch of us that had crappy couple of days (I’ve been in the same GD conference room since noon, and my ass is falling asleep), and we need to let our hair down. I won’t be out too late, though. Have a good show, darlin’!

Smoochies, Hath

You should be shaking.
And wear the boots tomorrow. PLEEEASE!!

Smoochies, huh? Sorry, that’s too girly for me. Take a great big kiss from me. The guys say hi. Oh wait, that wasn’t a wave. Dammit. Gotta go. Bye sweetie.

Love, David

Subject: Hey There

Morning, Sleeping Beauty!!

Nice of you to drag ass out of bed, lazy bum.

I know you’re off today, and I’ll be back later, I promise, but if I don’t get my Christmas shopping finished, and the cards in the mail, I won’t be able to just relax and enjoy the rest of the season! I’ve put together little gifts for your kids, and I have a nominal thing for your mother (don’t start on me, I’m a girl, this is what we do). I have to finish for my family, and get some things for the gift box at work (they do a charity thing each year), and do the cards, and that’s it.

So, I’ll be back sometime late this afternoon, and I’ll be all yours for the rest of the night (as long as you don’t mind sharing me with the Harem; I’ve got a party online to attend, ha ha)

Alright, if I don’t get off, I won’t get going.

Have some coffee, grab a shower, and have a good day! (Notice, I didn’t say “Have A Nice Day”. You’re welcome.)

Bye, baby, until later. I’ve got the crackberry, but it doesn’t always work in stores.

Hath
xx

Morning, yourself (or, almost, Good Afternoon). I tried calling you but it went to voicemail. Are you shopping in an underground bunker or something? Ha ha ha. And I’ll have you know that I’m not lazy, I’m tired. Jon works us to death, and I’ve had to go to the gym every day because of your cooking. And your grandmother’s.

Yeah, I’m off today, but Jon is calling some sort of meeting this afternoon, and we’re grabbing dinner. I’ll be pinging you afterwards, so you’d better be ready.

And, yeah, I noticed you didn’t quote us back to me. Thanks. Just wanted to tell you, though, that you were in my thoughts this morning, and I like waking up with you on my mind. So there :P

Alright, I’m gonna try your cell again, and if I don’t connect, I’ll see you tonight. Can’t wait!

Big kiss,
Love, David
