Ten

becky | May 24, 2010

Dear Ben, Today you turn ten. Dude! Double digits! So tight yo. OK, OK I’ll stop. I’m making myself sick not to mention the shade of red you must be turning. This past year was a great one, for both of us. You continued to excel in school, sports and in height. Seriously, stop growing! [...]

A Letter to Ann Amazing Producer

becky | May 17, 2010

Dear Ann, Participating in Listen To Your Mother was way more than I thought it would be. Being part of the cast forever changed me. I now see my true calling! My purpose for living!  It’s clear as a bell that this Princess’s place is on the stage. Under the lights! I should have heeded this call after being [...]

Chili’s Repsonse

becky | February 12, 2010

Since I did everything aside from marching right into Chili’s headquarters and bonking them on the head with their new menu, lo and behold they got back to me!  Not only that but now they have added their vegetarian menu download right on the menu page. The truth is the woman I have been communicating [...]

An Open (and REAL) Letter To Chili’s

becky | February 1, 2010

Dear Chili’s, On Saturday January 30th my boyfriend, son and I chose your restaurant to dine in.  We had many choices that evening but specifically chose YOUR establishment.  (This information will come in handy later). Our first (this is foreshadowing…) disappointment was that you no longer offer the “2 for $20″ special.  We got over [...]

An Open Letter To The Carriers of My Life

becky | January 22, 2010

Dear Veins, I have a huge blood clot to pick with you.   Not all of you.  Just the ones in my arms.  Femoral, you are off the hook – this time. Remember earlier this week when we were going to donate blood to the Red Cross and do some good in this world? And remember [...]

A Letter To the End of a Decade

becky | December 28, 2009

Dear 2009, Hi sweetie.  I’ll make this short since I know you are on your death bed.  And for that I’m truly so sorry.  When you were just a twinkle in Father Time’s Eye I declared you “My Year” and whoa, you didn’t disappoint.   I knew we would be close friends but I never expected you [...]

a letter to balloon boy

becky | October 16, 2009

Dear Falcon, Hey kiddo, how ya doing? Hopefully you can answer that question without throwing up. Listen Fal, I’ll make this short since I’m sure you have gotten quite a bit of mail in the past 24 hours; not to mention I know first hand how slow a 6 year old can read. Anyway, remember [...]

A Letter To My Least Favorite Age

becky | September 21, 2009

Dear Nine and a half, How are you? Wait, don’t even bother answering that because I know the answer will be “fine.” In all lower case. As that has been your answer for everything lately. “How was school, Buddy?” “fine.” “How was baseball practice.” “fine.” “Do you want pigs ears and elephants toes for dinner?” [...]

A Letter To My Favorite Season

becky | August 18, 2009

Dear Summer, Hey! Where’d ya go? I just went into my bedroom to change for the big Fourth of July parade only to come downstairs and have it be the end of August. What happened? Camp is over, back to school clothes have been purchased and I’m registering Ben for fourth grade on Thursday! Not [...]

“Thank you Sally!”

becky | August 14, 2009

I am a terrible person. I have so much to do including uploading pictures from “BlogHer Madison Style” and posting about it. And of course there is the ever growing pile of laundry and that pesky child of mine that needs to be fed. But I can’t help myself. I’m obsessed. Over a woman no [...]
