open letters
To: Most of the boys in my house
I'm sorry, but no matter how many gadgets you have/bring home/hope to own, you will never be James Bond.
love,
your wife and/or mother
Dear Mash,
I adore your soda - especially the pomegranate blueberry flavor. Why so expensive?

Attention Weather Gods:
We're ready. Please send Spring.
With all due respect,

K Dear,
You make the tastiest wontons EVER.

Dear J Crew:
You've wormed your way back into my good graces. I've purchased some staples for my new wardrobe from your store (though your sales associates don't impress me) and I'm considering a couple of pairs of lightweight pants for the coming warm weather.
Frankly, though, your April catalog cover ticks me off a little.
There is no doubt that the model is beautiful, but I find myself aggravated by the Slumdog Millionaire reference as well as her weight (and J Crew often features models with more realistic bodies) and the fact that I can't tell if she's wearing a shirt.
Call me prudish (though I tend not to be) but her emaciated frame - blouseless, causes me to rant. A little.
I'm done now,
bb
Dear Rachel Ray,
I've been thinking: what's up with the voice? With all the work you're getting right now, maybe you should have a professional check it out?
Really, I have your best intentions at heart -

That jacket is WAY too small.
Love the open letters. I hope you send more.

your blog was the first I ever wanted to read more than once... through your blog I have been introduced to so many other blog writers and blog writing styles. I have also experienced the intensity of loss and joy that online correspondence brings. The comments columns are only something I write in occasionally - nevertheless I am reading.
