Dear So and So …

Dear So and So...

==========

Dear Kat,

Thanks for hosting this weekly meme.  Sorry it’s taken me so long to haul my happy ass over here, but better late than never here I be and I’m ready to PARTAY!

Your favourite fellow blogger,

Karen 

Whaddya mean who?  Karen.  It’s me, Ka-ren.  Ye know, from If I Could Escape.  Your favourite blog?   Yeah? *coughs* ;)

Dear Readers,

This is my first attempt over here at “Dear So and So,” so be nice.  Well, ain’t that a whole lot of so’s in one sentence.  Anyway, be nice.  Oh and have a fab weekend too.

Love,

Me

Dear Middle-Aged BFF,

Happy birthday!

Your Not So Middle-Aged BFF

Dear British Gas,

Stop fucking me about and send me my refund otherwise I’ll be forced to fly over there and kick some ass.

Ta,

Starting to become disgruntled ex-customer

Dear Hot Geek,

Thanks ever so much for all the expert correspondence regarding my wet hard drive issues.  Sadly, it’s still not quite up to scratch and I may need to bring it to you for further analysis.

Sincerely,

Me

Dear Trombone Playing Tween,

I’m so very proud of you and can’t wait to see you play next week.

Love,

Mummy, yes I know you’re too old to call me that, but I’m the mum and what I say goes

==========

Dear Chubby, Sweaty, Short Dude,

Please, when I pass your house on my morning walk, I’m not out for conversation, I’m out for fresh air and some exercise.   There’s a reason I have my headphones stuck in my ears.  And, sunglasses on.  I do not wish to be disturbed, so please don’t tell me how blessed you are to still be blessed.  It kinda freaks me out. 

Sincerely,

That Woman With Headphones and Sunglasses

Dear Mum,

When you asked me what I thought my “type” was and I answered, ”I dunno, maybe a neurotic, funny blonde a bit like me,”  the response, “what, you mean like Big Bird from Sesame Street” was not what I expected.  It did make me laugh, but steady on as there’s only room for one comedian in the family.

Your way funnier than you daughter,

PS If I haven’t told you, thanks for everything.

==========

Dear Teen,

When will you learn to get yourself up?  I know I like to be up early-ish, but these 5:30 a.m. wake-up calls are killing me.  And interfering with my youthful, goddess like appearance.

Your tired and cranky Mum

==========

Dear Words with Friends,

You are ever so distracting.  Thanks. I guess.

Wordingly (hmmmm, wonder if that’s a real word I could use), Karen

==========

Dear Youngest,

Please start eating something other than chicken, fries, spaghetti, crackers, ice cream, Cheerios or cheese.  Good karate chops require a bit more sustenance.

Your worried Mummy

    Good ones! That last one hit way too close to home, though. I’m a vegetarian, and despite my attempts to get The Girl (4) to eat meat until she’s quite a bit older, the only meat she’ll eat is chicken. I guess that’s better than nothing.

    Oooh you sound a bit harrassed. As I read more stuff from parents of tweens and teens I get ever more frightened!
