Dear Lady I sort of slightly know,
Ma'am, your children are named "Laquawna", "D'Yawni", "Sheniqua", "M'Shylika" and "Bob". While I respect your right to name your children whatever you darn well please, I am a bit perplexed by your choices.
Something just doesn't fit.
That being said, I'm certain you are a lovely person and have a lovely bunch of children.
Cheers!

Dear all you folks who are reading this crap,
Please head over to Scrivel and get your laugh on.
Or, you know, whatever.
Love,
Chickie
Dear God,
Really, I don't ask you for much I think.
A home free of psychotic people, the health of my children and dog, a decent job which does not involve the criminally insane who have not yet been captured by the law, the sheer will not to whack my spouse upside the head when he is being, well, himself. All of this...it's not much, is it?
Today, God, I need a favor.
I am willing to accept the fact that my dad has cancer again. I can take that. In fact, when I got the call yesterday? I wasn't even surprised. The proverbial "other shoe"? Well, it dropped.
So I was expecting it. I didn't like it, but I wasn't really surprised either.
But God, can you just make it easy on him this time? Can you make the surgery a little easier for him to handle? Can you make the chemotherapy not so tough? Can you give him something, whatever he needs, so that he isn't in pain all the time?
If you can, I'll forfeit whatever you need me to.
Deal?
Love,
Me

I found humor in these letters. Until the last one. I'm so sorry about your Dad, Chickie. I'll say a prayer asking for the same things you asked.
:(
Sorry--that was me that deleted the comment. I was impatient, apparently, and hit publish twice.
I'm fun like that.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's diagnosis... hugs to all of you
So sorry about your daddums, hon. Big love to you and yours.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's battle with cancer - cancer sucks. I'm praying today for him and for your job interview to go well!! I'd hire you in a heartbeat!

I'm so very sorry about your dad...
And I'm totally sending you all the best wishes and bright thoughts I can for your interview. Go Chick! Go Chick! Go Chick!!!!!
Sorry about your dad. We lost my husband's mother last year and it was hard.
But the skirt-wearing thing?? We are a fairly casual office, and we can always tell when someone has a job interview, because they show up to work in a skirt and hose. They might as well wear a big sign, "I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW TODAY"
LOL
Sorry about your dad- mine has had it twice so I know where you're at.
Rock that interview!!
oh Chick. I am so sorry about your dad. I am truly heartbroken for you.

Sorry to hear about your dad, he will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Also, I'm totally with you on the first letter, I know this woman who named her daughters, Wanda, Rhonda, Jonda, and HEIDI!!! What a hoot!

Chick, I'm praying for you and your dad.
Hey Chick,
Good luck on the job front. I added that to the prayer for your dad. I'll keep you all in our thoughts and prayers...although it is kind of funny to pray for "That Chick's" Dad, I know how hard the situation is.
Best wishes
Your ability to make me laugh and cry in the space of a single blog post exemplifies the fact that you are more than a blogger. You are a "writer."
My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope that treatment goes okay for your Dad.
[And poor Bob.]
Thinking of you and hoping God answers your prayers - spoken and unspoken.
{{{hugs}}} I'm really praying for your Dad. xo
As always I love your open letters, but the last one? Heart wrenching. I'm so sorry, I'll be thinking of you and your family.
And God totally owes that favor to you.
Good luck on your interview!
you totally had me rolling. I mean your neighbor? classic. then I read your last letter. Gut wrenching. Your family will definitely be on my prayer list. Super big hugs!
