Love Letter to Gibbs

Dear Mark,

First, can I call you Gibbs? I'm sure you don't mind. So I'll start again.

Dear Gibbs (ahhh),

It all started many years ago. I was a very young girl the first time I saw you. I turned the television to HBO - back when it came free with cable - and a movie called "Summer School" was on.



There you were: handsome, charming and funny as you dealt with misfit kids and chased after Kirstie Alley. Not only did you have a rockin' bachelor's pad on the beach, you had a dog, too. All it took was one of those heart-stopping grins and I was smitten kitten.

Yes, I said smitten kitten.

You made appearances here and there, on shows and in films. I was happy to see you on St. Elsewhere as Dr. Bobby Caldwell for a few years, but then you got HIV from whoring around - it's okay, I forgive you - and eventually died.



After that I stalked you via magazine - hello People's Sexiest Man Alive 1986 - and television. I watched you portray a serial killer and Cybill Shepherd's love interest (why would you do something like that?!). Then, thankfully, you returned to the medical field a la Chicago Hope.



Thank you Jesus for scrubs. YUM.

Ahem.

Anyhoo, I didn't see you for a few years, and I must admit I wasn't terribly distraught - what with college, boys and work to keep me busy. I confess my attentions did meander a bit to the likes of Justin Timberlake, Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Reynolds and Johnny Depp. Before you get upset, let me reassure you that the feelings I felt for them didn't even remotely compare to the love and affection I feel for you. I moved on, but never forgot you...

Then, one day out of the blue, there you were:





Leroy. Jethro. Gibbs. In all of your gray - ie: SEXY - hair and gorgeous glory. CBS gave me the best present ever and made you the main man of NCIS. Not only that, but you're a single man. Sure, you'll hook up with a red-headed chick here and there, but nothing serious. I'm all for the casual roll in the hay, just as long as I don't have to see it.

I see you week after week, solving murders and whacking those crazy kids DiNozzo and McGee in the back of the head. On a rare occasion you'll give that million dollar mega-watt smile and my heart will melt all over again.

I know our love will never be more than just admiration from afar, although I have told my husband repeatedly that if the opportunity ever presented itself, I'd drop him in a heartbeat to be with you. He's cool with it.

So with all of that being said, I shall end this letter with a promise. Keep being Gibbs, and I'll keep being your creepy, way younger but still smitten kitten - yes, I said it again - fan,

Jess

Fantabulous Friday! (Chicka chicka yeah)

That's right, people.  It's FRIDAY.  Woop woop.  Time to hang out with our thang out.

Just kidding.

I love Fridays, not because they're a prelude to my most favorite day, and not because they signify the end of the work week.

No?  Then why do I love Fridays, you ask?

Well,  I love Fridays because on this day, the second-best day of the week, I will share with you a few people/places/foods/things that make my list of the MOST FANTABULOUS in the world.  Well, my world at least.


1. CHEESY MAC

Some of you may be thinking "Cheesy mac?  How is that fantabulous?" Just to prove my point, I've listed a few reasons:
1.  It's cheesy - which in and of itself is awesome.
2.  It's the best broke food there is.  Trust me, I'm poor.  I've had a LOT of broke food.
3.  Where else can you find pouches of cheese powder?  Not that I condone any use of the cheesy   
     powder not specified on the box...
4.  Honestly, who doesn't like saying "cheesy mac"?  Nobody. 

I rest my case.


2.  JOHNNY DEPP

That's right, ladies (and some men).  Look at him.  You know you want to.  Whether he's Gilbert Grape, Raoul Duke, Ichabod Crane, Jack Sparrow, The Mad Hatter or Edward Scissorhands, it makes no difference.  He's too sexy for his shirt.  Yes indeedy.  One of the most FANTABULOUS men to ever walk the planet. 


3. DVR

If it weren't for this baby, think of all the mindless hours I'd miss sitting in front of the tube.  Besides, it rectifies the mistakes of the two idiots who put my beloved Gibbs on at the same time as American Idol.  Now I can drool over Gibbs for an hour, then go back in time and watch Randy Jackson say "it was a little pitchy, dawg" for an hour.  Not to mention the bajillion episodes of Ace of Cake that come on every single day. It's a win-win situation.  Correction - it's a FANTABULOUS situation.  (You liked that one, didn't you?)

4. BETTY WHITE

Not only was she hilarious as Rose on The Golden Girls for nearly a decade, but she rocked as Ryan Reynold's G-maw in The Proposal and was EPIC on Saturday Night Live a few months ago.  This chick is the epitome of fantabulous.

That's all for today, kids.   

Peace out!
