From: Michael Washington To: Valerie Lehman Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 11:02 AM Subject: Re: Directions to Carmines Ok I have it: Carmine's http://www.onstagenow.net/Clubs/Carmines/Carmines.htm 424 Fair Oaks Ave. South Pasadena, CA 91030-1817 One question, It seems like it's a restaurant. Is there a bar and I am to meet you in the bar? (I am sorry for being so "anal" but I am a programmer so it's always "details details" :)
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE:Directions to Carmines 02/20/2002 11:17 AM No problem, I'm a little anal myself...It's a bar and a restaurant I thought we would meet in the bar. If you don't drink or are not comfortable with that environment there is also a Starbucks and An ice cream place in the same strip mall. Either way is fine with me.
From: Michael Washington Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 11:39 AM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: RE: Directions to Carmines No the Bar is fine, I don't drink but I enjoy my Virgin Margaritas :) I have to admit that I really like the sound of your voice, very warm and professional. I am sure we will have a lot to talk about, you seem like a very fun and nice person. Til Monday.

From: Michael Washington Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:15 AM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: Thank you for yesterday Valerie, Thank you again for last night (notice how I didn't say "last night" on the subject line, that would look bad on email to your office :).

From: Michael Washington Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 10:23 AM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: Wednesday for drinks Valerie, That last date was the best. For me it went perfect and I am looking forward to seeing you Saturday. I would love to meet you Wednesday for drinks, let me know.
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: Wednesday for drinks 03/05/2002 07:51AM Hi Sweetie, I had yesterday off so I just got your e-mail. I had a great time Saturday as well! Wednesday sounds good. How about I make you dinner instead of going out for drinks. How does a nice steak and baked potato sound? Let me know and have a great day. Val
From: Michael Washington To: Valerie Lehman Tuesday, March 05, 2002 9:56 AM Subject: RE: Wednesday for drinks Yes. Thank you, I am looking forward to your cooking :) 7:00pm? also: Things you might not know: Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquitos' sensors so they don't know you're there. And, the best for last..... Turtles can breathe through their butts.
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: Wednesday for drinks 03/05/2002 10:05 AM 7:00 would be just fine...my what a wealth of knowledge you are! See you tomorrow night. Val
From: Michael Washington Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 11:25 AM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: Can't wait to see you I have to switch cars before I come out there because my car has been overheating, but I still should get there by 7:00pm. Should I pick up a bottle of wine, if so what kind?
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: Can't wait to see you 03/06/2002 12:05 PM Hey you...No problem if you are a little bit late, I'm doing a very simple steak, potato, salad dinner. Are you okay with red meat? No need to bring wine, you don't drink it and I pretty much stick with my vodka tonics. Thank you for offering. I'm looking forward to seeing you :-) V

From: Michael Washington Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 9:40 AM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: Good Morning! Hello Princess, I had a wonderful time this weekend and I think of you often. I look forward to seeing you Wednesday. Possible choices for Wednesday: 1. I pick up a movie (your choice) and food (your choice) and bring it over. 2. I pick up some food (your choice) and I spend the rest of the night staring into your eyes :) 3. ??
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: Good Morning! 03/11/2002 09:43 AM I enjoyed you this weekend as well, Thank you for a lovely time. Whatever strikes your fancy Wednesday is fine with me, surprise me... I hope your Monday is off to a good start. Take care sweetie, V
From: Michael Washington Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 3:08 PM To: Valerie Lehman Subject: RE: Good Morning! ... on the food and movie thing. If I were you I would ensure that your KISS profile is correct otherwise you're gonna be eating food you don't like and watching a movie you can't stand :) I would like to take you to a movie (at a theatre) this weekend if possible. Let me know how your weekend is stacking up.
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: Good Morning! 03/11/2002 03:18 PM On the food and movie thing...I have no idea what my profile says I like, can't remember. So...I will just tell you. I like Drama, Comedy and Horror...I do not like slapstick crap like "Austin Powers" and I'm not nuts about Action flicks. The only food I don't like is Indian food, Curry sucks! (Also do not eat lima beans, liver, or beets) that's about it. See how easy I am (grin) At present my weekend is pretty open, let me know what works well for you. XXXOOO V

From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: I've been working on you... 03/14/2002 09:08 AM Good Morning Sweet Man, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy spending time with you and thank you for the KFC :-) I hope you are feeling better today, take some vitamins!

From: Michael Washington To: Valerie Lehman Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 9:57 AM Subject: RE: I've been working on [top of] you... Good Morning Princess, Good luck on the Root Canal negotiations. Nothing they say will upset you if you expect them to be a pain in the ass because they are an insurance company after all. Thank you for asking about my continuing health drama. I will take some vitamins and get more rest. Saturday you're mine :) Someone just sent this to me. They said turn up your sound and stare at the picture on the wall for 45 seconds: http://home.attbi.com/~n9ivo/whatswrong.swf

From: Michael Washington To: Valerie Lehman Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 9:34 AM Subject: RE: You will enjoy my support [behind] you Good morning Princess, I hope today is a good day for you. It's Friday! Be safe and don't party too hard :) Me, I wish I could say that I was finally well. I am so tired of feeling under the weather. The good news is that I am feeling the same as I was on Wednesday that isn't too bad. Normally I never get sick and it's REALLY starting to annoy me that you have seen me act like a hypochondriac. Honestly, I can't wait till Saturday.
From: "Lehman, Valerie" To: 'Michael Washington' Subject: RE: You will enjoy my support [behind] you 03/15/2002 09:45 AM Good Morning Sweetie, I am so sorry you still feel puny, get lot's of rest tonight. I am not going out tonight, so I will be feeling great tomorrow, I promise no hangover :-) I'll find out the closest theater with the movie playing and times and stuff. Are we still planning on 4:00? So I can plan on 5:00? (grin) I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Have a good day! XXOO V

From: Valerie Lehman [mailto:Valerie Lehman] Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 11:11 PM To: Michael Washington Subject: Re: Eight Things to Look for in a Partner Hello my baby, It's Saturday night and you are on you "date" (kidding) and I was just looking over the e-mail you sent me and thinking about you, (like always) and wanted to talk to you so hence the e-mail...I envision you coming home tonight and checking your e-mail and finding this and understanding me yet a little more... In sequence to the e-mail re: what's important in a relationship, you fall as follows: EMPATHY: Hugely important to me...I feel you are a very empathetic person, you totally care about the people you love but have the intelligence and foresight to know what can and can not help them. I have a great deal of respect for the way you think about people and things and I know you "have the back" for those you care about. AFFECTION: Oh my god!!! You are so incredibly affectionate and sweet and loving...I could not ask for any thing more in this particular area...you make me feel so wanted and so loved. Your touch is free and always there and so real. You make me feel wonderful in this area. SEXUALITY: GOD DAMN!!!!! Baby.... you rock my world! I adore your touch. I want to do so very many things with you and you make me feel incredible! RELIABILITY: I know this is an area you feel weak at...I trust you completely; I believe you will do what you say you will do. I greatly appreciate how sorry you are when you are the slightest bit late or make the slightest error as to what you said you would do. You recognize what is real and respect it...I love that about you. HONESTY: This is like THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in my life. I never trust anyone or believe in them completely and I do have that feeling for you. It scares the crap out of me to trust someone as much as I do you, but I do. NEATNESS: (GRIN) You make me feel so good about how you admire my place and how I take care of things, this is very important to me and I see that you like it and admire it about me. I feel really good about that. INTELLECTUAL/SOCIAL CAPACITY: We gel....It's all good no matter where we are or what we are doing. I love that. I am so completely comfortable with you. I never feel like you will embarrass me or hurt my feelings in public. I am so proud to be with you at all times. FINANCIAL:: You have a couple of hang-ups here...I don't care about how much you make...don't get me wrong, I am so proud of you...but it's so not about money. I love nice things and doing fun things and I totally respect that you can make that happen. I just worry that you may get obsessed there...You are so very successful and you don't give yourself enough credit. CHILDREN: I so admire what you are trying to do with your son. I'm so sorry it happened the way it did for you, but you really are doing so much to make it better. It's never going to be perfect baby...it was a thing at a time. Any way, I am going to go to bed now. I just wanted to share some of how I feel about you with you. I love you so much it scares me. Be patient with me. XXOO V
From: "Michael Washington" <Michael Washington> To: "Valerie Lehman" <Valerie Lehman> Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 2:16 AM Subject: RE: Eight Things to Look for in a Partner Princess, Wow you must be psychic because I did come home after my meeting and get this email... Your ability to communicate with me really gives me faith that we will be together for a long time. This email from you was a total ego boost, and after I read it a few times and enjoyed the feeling of all this love I felt one good stroke from you deserves a few strokes from me <smile>: EMPATHY: Deep inside you I feel a kindness for others. This is something a person either has or they don't. Initially I would think about what separates you from other women I have liked (I don't do this anymore. I am so past "questioning" my feelings for you :) and your "kindness" and empathy was one of the things that I "desire" and "need". AFFECTION: Your affection for me is the drug that makes me "goofy" at times. When we were laying in the bed before I left you had to roll over. I "unwound" from you to allow you to roll over. When you rolled back you pulled me toward you. The feelings that causes are priceless. SEXUALITY: Already you are the most giving and loving person I have ever known. What is so damn exciting is that this is sooo early into the relationship. There is so much more to come. RELIABILITY: When you hang out with people with good habits it tends to rub off on you. I still have a long way to go. I measure myself against you. I look up to you in this (and many other areas). I desire to be like you. HONESTY: When you send me emails like this my trust level in you climbs. Already I trust you completely. Again, this comes natural to you, you don't have to "work" at it the way I do. NEATNESS: There simply isn't anything to say that isn't obvious. I feel proud for my parents to see how you live. I have never felt as proud as I do of you for the way you carry yourself and live your life. Please don't be scared when I say you are a person a man would want to be the mother of his children because you would have a household that one would feel is the best (clean/neat/respectable) INTELLECTUAL/SOCIAL CAPACITY: While I work very hard on how I behave myself and interact with others, proper behavior comes natural to you because it is simple the "right" thing to do, fascinating! FINANCIAL:: You have to accept the fact that *I* am J---- when it comes to money. The only difference is I have been working VERY hard at the problem :) I simply Love you, Valerie. I love you with all my heart. -Me
From: Valerie Lehman [mailto:Valerie Lehman] To: Michael Washington Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 9:01 PM Subject: Thinking of you... Hello baby, I miss you. It's amazing to me how much time I spend thinking about you. I don't really have anything in particular to say to you, you are just so on my mind and it's bedtime and I know I'll sleep better if I talk to you for a minute. I hope you had a good productive evening. I pretty much chilled, little bit of stuff around the house and ready to go to bed early. I made a marinade and we will have a fabulous roast for dinner...putzed around my apartment and thought about you. I want you to do something with me tomorrow night...It might seem kind of silly but I don't think you will feel that way. The candle you bought me, the same one from my brother for Christmas is all about "new beginnings" I want to do the ceremony thing with you...i'ts just kind of like a little poem, but it feels special and it's how I feel about us. I think you will think it's cool, and if you don't...humor me :-) Michael you mean so much to me. I was going to say "I don't think you know how much you mean to me" but I think that's bullshit, I think you do know. This is really special and really frightening at the same time. I think you know exactly where I am at and you so do all the right things to make me feel okay about it. I truly love you, like the special kind of love we always question as to whether or not it's ever going to happen. You said you would be happy about this regardless of what happens, I feel the same way. I would not have not experienced the fact that I can love someone this deeply for anything. If it were to turn out badly I would still be so happy to know I can feel like this. I don't think that will happen but I will have that knowledge and feeling no matter what. I question myself at how "MUSHY" I feel about all of this, but I am compelled to share it with you. I have not been romantic for a very long time and I have to admit I feel a little bit silly...at the same time I just can't help it, I adore you. I can't wait to see you tomorrow baby, I love you.

From: Valerie Lehman [mailto:Valerie Lehman] To: Michael Washington Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 Subject: I really liked this......... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...one old love she can imagine going back to... and one who reminds her how far she has come... ...enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to... ...something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... ...a youth she's content to leave behind... ...a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age... ...a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra... ...one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry... ...a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family... ...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.. ...a feeling of control over her destiny... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... ...how to fall in love without losing herself... ...how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship... ...when to try harder... and when to walk away... ...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents... ...that her childhood may not have been perfect... but its over... ...what she would and wouldn't do for love or more... ...how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it... ...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... ..where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing... ...what she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...
