Love Letter #8

Dear B-Mets "Name That Bobblehead" promotion,

Give a raise to whoever came up with you. I'm very happy that Richard "Captain America" Tylicki is an option. Robert Ford should also be on the list. Maybe next year. But really, it doesn't matter, because I will be voting for Stacy Wickham. As will everyone who reads this blog entry. See below.


Dear everyone reading this blog entry,

Go here. Scroll down to the voting apparatus on the left. In the "Other" option, write in "Stacy Wickham." Do this multiple times a day. If one of the mascots win I will boo loudly. Then mascots public shame will be on your heads.

P.S. Don't vote for the mascots just because you want me to boo them. There will be other opportunities.

Love Letter #7

Dear Annie's Bunny Grahams,
No offense to Teddy, but you are way better. And because you are organic, natural, and believe in community and sustainability I get to pat myself on the back while overindulging on your tasty snacks. I guess I should maybe pat you on the back too, for your good ethics, but mostly for your good grahams. Chocolate is my favorite.

Love,
Tara

P.S. Your macaroni and cheese is super too.

Love Letter #6

Dear faith,

Relying on you sometimes sucks, and sometimes doesn't. I'm daily residing at both extremes. But thank you for being an option for me. I couldn't do it without you.

Love,
Tara

Love Letter #5

Dear little clothes dryer that fits in our bedroom,

You are useful, warm, and soothing. You not only warm up my bedroom for me when it's frickin' freezing, you help cover up the noise coming from the aforementioned upstairs neighbors with your lilting hum. And on top of all of this, you dry my clothes! Thank you for all the purposes you serve in my life. I love you.

(Little washing machine in the kitchen, you're not so bad either.)
(Earth: I still air dry some clothes. When my upstairs neighbors move out, I'll use the dryer much less.)

Love Letter #4

Dear authors who don't use an ampersand for "and,"

You are practical and sensible and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ampersands may have their place in APA references and proper titles, but that's it. You, like me, realize the asininity of pressing "shift" "7" instead of typing three letters that can be easily typed without having to move your hands from the designated typing position. You do not waste my time by making me change all of your annoying and purposeless "&" to "and." You probably never realized how much this means to me. It's the little things.

Love,
Tara

Love Letter #3

Dear sleep,

I know I sometimes spurn your advances. I'm sorry. And now my loud-video-game-playing upstairs neighbors who like to yell the f-word and smoke pot are trying to keep us apart. But you are stronger than some dumb video game. You are stronger than an overused cuss word. You are more legal than pot.Don't give up on me. I promise I'll never abuse you again.

Love,
Tara

Love Letter #2

Dear camera on my cell phone,

Babies love you and so do I. Without you I could have never documented television station FSN-SW calling Antoine Vermette "Andrew" Vermette, messages on cabin walls that are marked as untrue, Jim Halpert's face when he saw Dwight and Angela making out, Joey Ice Cream (to show Pastor Rob whose picture pops up when he calls me), impressive Wegman's grocery packing, the boy with the unibrow who graduated with Jean Wickham, Mike's New Year's Eve instant message conversation, big hair, disproportionate Jesus hands, guy love when it occurs, and sightings of Topher Grace, Adam Levine, and Peter Quinn. Thank you, cell phone camera, for making my life better.
Love,
Tara

Love Letter #1

Dear Pizza,

You are the best.

Love,

February

It's February again. Time for love letters. Lucky you, two theme months in a row! I can't promise no repeats from last February's letters, but I'll do my best to love more things.
