Dear Fairy Godmother,
I have an assignment for you: Please find the source of that hideous smell in the van and eradicate it. My olfactory sensors are in hyper-drive.
Thanks much,
Heidi

Dear Zachary,
What do you want for Christmas (besides a Nintendo DS or a $300 r/c snowmobile)? I am stumped, but I have a million ideas for Tyler.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Claus

Dear lock of hair behind my left ear,
Why won't you ever behave? If the rest of the hairs are flipped out, you lie down. If I'm going for a sleek look, you decide to be funky. What gives?
Exasperated,
Your owner
P.S. I really am grateful to not be bald. Thank you for being there, even in your unruly way.

Dear ABC Pediatrics,
We are developing a close relationship these days. I am especially endeared to the receptionist who helped me the other day, to the receptionist to apologized for NOT helping me the other day, and to Dr. Y, who is my favorite.
I love you, even though you separate me from a lot of my money.
Infectiously yours,
Mrs. B

Dear Gavin,
I never thought I'd say it, but I miss the crazy version of you. This schlumpy, teary, red-faced, bleary-eyed version just makes me sad. You clearly feel awful.
To your health,
Mommy

Dear Ms. Ro,
How badly do you want Gavin and Lexi in your music class? I'm not willing to pay very much, but you seem eager to invite our chaos into your weekly routine. If the demonstration class goes well, I hope we can strike a deal.
Sincerely,
Tyler's mom

Dear Rainforest,
All of this online shopping and UPS shipping is making me feel guilty about the superfluous use of cardboard. I attribute some of the fault to Amazon for packing a tiny little thing in a giant box, but most of the fault is mine. I am lazy. The "click, click, click" effort is just my speed!
I promise I recycle.
Love,
The planet killer

Dear mini trampoline,
You might be the best purchase I have ever made. I love you.

Dear Christmas cards,
You are in the mail. See you (well, the 2011 iteration of you) next year!
I hope that every home you grace feels loved....enough to send one in reply.
Love,
Heidi
pass it on!

Great letters, I especially love the way you sign them, hilarious! A card to you from us is in the mail as well.
I love the letters. Yesterday, I found myself mentally composing letters to cope with all the random stupidness of the day. It's strangely therapeutic!
I always enjoy the letters! Hope health returns to you all soon.
I look at it this way: If I don't click away and use numerous boxes, I run from store to store using our precious fossil fuels and rubber on my tires and exhaust...maybe recycled boxes aren't so bad. (No, don't tell me the UPS guy uses all those things too. Don't.)
Always love your letters!
Your olfactory senses are in hyper drive...are you trying to tell us secretly that baby number five is on the way?! :)
Yay for letters! I'm thinking I should have a monthly letter expression on my blog as well. It sure makes ya feel better.
