Dear Smith’s Marketplace: Can you please stop having tremendous shoe sales when I have no budget for shoes?

Dear Owners Of My Childhood Home: You made it look so ugly. It makes me sad.

It may not be the fancy pants screen shot of OMSH and Kerflop, but I am working on a way to give my readers linky-love. I’ll let you know when you can send me your url. (P.S. I wuv you.)

*Thanks to Belinda for the inspiration.

I love you. I loved this post. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. This NaBloPoMo is emotionally taxing, no?
-I hope you don’t put Diet Coke IN the Golden Grahams.
-You took away their candy? HA!
-Amen to your note to voters.
-The NBA sucks.
Love it, love it, love it. Also? Amen to so many of those “dear”s.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Honey, you seriously just made my freaking day with this. Can I steal the idea and do a “dear ” post of my own?
I’ve written so many of these on the stationary in my mind….hilarious and so, so true.
And heart you for the WalMart note. Might not want to send it there, they have lawyers that frown upon that type of thing.
Not that I would know. ;)
I hear ya on the blog roll. I have not updated mine in eons. Waiting to see what Jessica and Heather explain will work…or if I need to figure out something of my own ;)
what a great post! you had me smiling at so many of them! since i am a (relatively) new reader to your blog, i do not know much about your part in the messiah. but i did look at your flickr pictures and saw how hot you look for the performance! you should tell a little about it, you are doing it again this year? you are too funny!
To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar! Right? Am I right??
Also: “I love you more than my luggage” is Steel Magnolias. :) Right? I have to second guess myself because of placenta brain.
“Dear Vagina Doctor Office Staff:” lol. Is it weird that I don’t want to call it the OB/GYN anymore? From now on it’s called the Vagina Doctor.
I so love reading your stuff. Thanks for sharing it with us all. You rock Lorelee!
Luv,
-Katie Belle
Dang, Marilyn guessed it before me! I’m sorry you have to deal with sucky Wal-Mart and American Baby mags
This is awesome and I’m totally stealing it for my blog. (Because I’m so uninspired! Whine whine whine.)
Sparklie:
I didn’t think it would be hard because I post all the time. However, it is a lot different when you have the pressure to post daily. I need a creativity enema at this point because I am getting NOTHING in the way of output. (Ug. That was kinda grody, huh?)
Craig:
Hmmm…Golden Grahams IN Diet Coke. I don’t know whether to vomit or be intrigued…
Hairy:
I know that many of us have the same thoughts rolling around and around, don’t we? BTW-I had the weirdest motto for your blog:
Rachel:
The blog world is meant for sharing!
Jenn:
Doesn’t it drive you crazy?! One day WalMart will take over the galaxy, I swear.
Angella:
I really don’t think I will be able to duplicate it on my blog. I’ll probably end up just hiring the two of them at some point and revamping the whole thing.
It’s just nice that they are doing it. I want so much to thank everyone who reads (And who doesn’t love linky love???) I tried to do something similar with Blogrolling but I couldn’t get it to work. After nastiness I just took it down with intent to do something else on this site.
Their announcement was a much needed kick in the butt reminder that I need to get it done.
Raygon: I got asked back to be the Mezzo soloist for the Messiah this year. I don’t get to do a lot of performing any longer and so it is really nice that people have that much faith in my talent.The invitation to do it again came at a particuarly necessary time.
Marilyn:
You get the gold star!!! I am totally happy that you recognized it. It’s one of my favorite movies.
Katie:
I’m a weird duck, that’s certain. I needed the wuv. Thank YOU.
Holly:
I’m totally shocked that someone got the line. It’s one of my very favorites. They couldn’t even have an array of baby magazines just 30 copies of ONE. Arg.
Falwyn:
Hey, the more the merrier. I am having major “Inspiration” issues during this whole thing.
To Wong Fu….oh and I added you to my blog roll…here is my site buddythedog.wordpress.com Will you write one to me? Dear Jeff………
too funny. i love it. i may have to steal the idea. then again, i’d have to many dear johns to deal with.
dear lor – thank you for providing me with laughter, insightful annecdotes, and the reminder that everything has humor.
Dear Jeff: Could you please stop wearing your fuzzy bunny costume to work? You’re scaring my husband. P.S. The police came by earlier with your photo and asked if we knew you and if you drove around in a white, windowless van…’sup with that???
(For people going “WTF”?! Jeff works with my husband. His Halloween costume this year was a Pink Bunny ala “Ralphie” from “The Christmas Story” complete with paws and flop ears. He tied with Jonathan for “Most likely to be questioned by the police in their costume”. HA)
Pink:
It is a really fun thing to write. Try it, you’ll be surprised just how many there are to write!
You are a sweetheart, Pinkie. Remembering the funny during ick is crucial IMO.
I loved this post!!
I love this post. I love your honesty and your ability to be so blunt. Can you give me lessons?
[...] Posted on November 8, 2007 by falwyn [I totally stole this idea from Loralee. Thanks so muchly to [...]
Oh my dear god, I love you! This post rocks, and NaBloPoMo really IS a pain, but fun! *grin*
Said by Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayzee(sp?) to Louise Leguizamo(sp?) in “To Wong Foo: Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar”
Thanks for the giggles!
Candace:
THANKS!!!!
Shawna:
I think that it came from a billionty hours of no sleep, too much caffiene and hanging out in an OBGYN office for WWWAAAYYYY too long. :)
Whims-THANKS! NaBloPoMo is just killing me. ACK! And kudos on the quote.
[...] “Dear…” from Loralee’s Looney Tunes. I love posts like this, where the author writes little notes to different people in their life (even if it is the checkout girl from the grocery store). It reminds me that I want to do a post like this sometime. [...]
