Dear Mercedes CLK-

I have been participating in LOAD this month. It's been quite a fun one with some thought provoking prompts about happiness and what make us happy. If I do say so myself some of my journaling has been pretty great! I am particularly pleased with this letter to my car! Only got 1 comment because the layout itself was not to exciting, which I must admit makes me feel a touch peeved. Anyway, over my pity party heres the journaling! Dear Mercedes CLK 320- Just wanted to write a letter to tell you how much I adore you! I have been waiting all my life for you. Ever since I was driven around in your much older cousin as a child, I have loved you. As an adult I coveted you but you were too small for a family and too much money for our budget. But now, now that I have turned 50 and my chicks have mostly left the nest, I could have you! My wonderful adoring husband, who tolerates with much good grace my love for you, found you for me. From the moment I saw you on the lot, shining in the sun of that September day, I loved you. You are my dream come true! In the beginning I was nervous every time we went out together. My hands would grow sweaty on your smooth leather wheel. I would anxiously watch every other driver to be sure they didn't get to close to you. I parked in only the safest spots. I washed you carefully, shining up your lovely silver hubcaps. Now, I drive with pride, smiling at the other drivers in their boring, ordinary vehicles as I glide along, top down,wind in my hair, powerful engine at my control. I live for the days that it is warm enough with little chance of rain so I can take down your top. Feel the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, putting a hand in the air as I cruise the streets singing along to my favorite tunes, perhaps played just a bit too loud on your fine Harman-Kardon speakers. I love your gorgeous platinum color, the way you sparkle just a bit in the sun. I love your perfect figure, curving in all the right place. I love your smooth leather seats, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, that hold me oh so comfortably. I love all your buttons and controls, that tell me all that important information, speed, temperature, radio station, direction, and when it's time for your next tune-up. I love how you make me feel when we go out together, beautiful and sexy and loved and special. It's amazing what you do for me! Thanks for always being there when I need you, day, night, sun, rain, no matter, you are ready and willing and able. I hope that we will have a long, long time together, until I can no longer swing myself into your low, leather seats. I love you my Mercedes and I just wanted to let you know that. Yours forever, Karen
