Dear Nabisco,

Although the discovery of the Double Stuf Oreo was nothing short of genius, I must say the Holiday Oreo takes the cake...or should I say cookie?

Ok, that was lame.

But seriously, for the Holiday Oreo to come in festive colors AND automatic Double Stuf makes the Original DSO a blatant underdog.

The good news is, I normally side with the underdog - so in this case - I'll continue to eat both varieties of Oreo cookies. Despite the annoying and very unattractive bits that are always left in the teeth.

Dear November Snowfall

Even though I'm not excited to drive with you on the ground, I am anxious to get on the slopes and try out snowboarding again.

In this instance, I prefer to look for the silver lining (snow = snowboarding) rather than focus on the opposition (snow = driving nightmare).

Dear President Elect Obama,

Yes we can...and will...because we did.

Dear Halloween,

Hands down TA is the best place for a costume contest. Where else can you wear a sweatsuit to work and get away with it?

The $60 we won was worth the lunch hour spent spray painting cardboard and discussing choreography for a minute and a half skit which involved real tetris music, marching, falling into place and a quick "up, down, wave, wave, turn, turn" sequence.

Trust me, it was a hit.

Dear Skycoaster at Lagoon,

150-foot drop.
I conquered you and it was AMAZING!!
Thank you sister dearest for the free pass.
Thank you brother dearest for sharing the moment of sheer terror with me.

Dear Steep & Cheap,

You were my ray of sunshine on my cloudy day when I received this in the mail at work:

I am now ready for any nighttime activity with my Princeton Tec Aurora LED Headlamp. And, yes I've worn you intermittently throughout the day just to cheer me up.

Dear Lemons,

Even though life gives me lots of you, what if I don't want to make freaking lemonade?

Sincerely,
Very much aware of her much needed attitude adjustment but in denial
