“You tried to take me down. I did not enjoy this.”
Open Letters:
from me to some of everyone
In an open letter to ibuprofen,
“Oh how I wish that my stomach could handle you better. This simple change in my constitution would drastically improve transactions with my ex-husband. It’s not your fault though. I understand that.”

In an open letter to family tree searching,
“What have you done to me, genealogy? I find myself sucked in for hours at a time. Who have I become?”
In an open letter to herself,
“You would be a lot happier if you would properly deal with the things that you download, particularly the fonts, upon downloading them. Now that I’m getting you all caught up, please keep this in mind. Thanks!”

In an open letter to her boyfriend,
“I cannot tell you how happy that I am to have you in my life. Though I seldom have quite the words to tell you exactly how I feel about you, I should share my attempts to grasp them more often. You make me a vary lucky lady indeed, and I am excited when I’m going to see you now as I was for those first dates when I was just beginning to get to know you. I suppose all of this is the long way of saying Happy Birthday, and I love you.”
In an open letter to her sister-in-law,
“I hope that you’re having a wonderful birthday. I also hope that you’re doing something that makes you laugh. You’re one of the people on this planet who I believe loves to laugh just as much as I do. I appreciate that about you. Also, I hope you had something delicious. May you have many more birthdays!!”
