Letters. September 19, 2006
Dear Miles,
I am so, so sorry. I don’t know what got into me. I should have known that deciding to give you a haircut at midnight on a Friday was not the best of ideas. There’s a reason Aaron does your grooming… I should not be trusted with clippers. Those lines on your back will fade as your fur grows back in.
Sorry for all the abuse lately,
Brandi

Dear DirecTV,
I don’t know why you hate us. We’re trying to pay good money for your services, including DVR and Sunday Ticket. WE WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY. But for some reason, you don’t want it. Maybe we smell bad. Maybe you hate Texans. Maybe you’re afraid of Miles because you can’t really tell what kind of animal he is right now.
I just can’t think of any other explanations for why you would schedule and then fail to show up for not one but TWO installation appointments. I don’t understand why “no tech was in the area” is a good reason… doesn’t making the appointment GET the tech into the area? I am dumbfounded.
If you don’t show up on Thursday, when I am staying home from work for the third time to meet you, it’s over between us. I’ve already written a letter. Don’t make me do it again.
Wishing and hoping to get rid of the rabbit ears,
Brandi

Dear Nashville Chargers,
Triple A hockey is fun! Thanks for the free entertainment and the free food. We will definitely be back.
Still wincing a bit,
Brandi

Dear VCR,
I know you know we are trying to get rid of you. It’s nothing personal, really. You’ve been very good to us. But there’s no need to lash out in our last days together… it was really mean to ‘accidentally’ tape Grey’s Anatomy reruns instead of the Amazing Race premier. We do not appreciate it.
I already saw that one,
Brandi

Dear Care Group members,
There’s a reason we ask people to sign up for food to bring to events. Pizza rolls, pigs in a blanket and nine kinds of chocolate chip cookies do not a meal make.
Hungrily yours,
Brandi

Dear Cowboys,
Thank you for the win. It makes life in my house much easier. We heart you.
I’m a Dallasite at heart,
Brandi

Dear Kari,
Thank you for the letter-writing post idea. It’s a good one. Got any muffins?
Kisses,
Brandi
I like the letter format - Too funny.
I hope you get DirecTV in time for The Office Thursday night!!
Letter writing form is the best. Stealing ideas of Kari is the best idea.
What the heck? Nashville Chargers?
I should take you and Aaron to a Predators game.
We’ve been to Preds games. Chargers games are free and our friend Derek plays for them. (That’s why we were there.)
Muffins? But of course.
I love Karis muffins.
And brandis letters.
[...] I am not sure I can be as witty and funny and funny as my friends… But i thought I would try to follow the lead of Brandi, Scott, Susan, and Kari… Dear Cost Cutters, Have you no shame?! Do you not have a moral code of right and wrong? Do you not cringe at bad hairstyles and is it not your duty to inform someone that the hairstyle they like not only went out of style twenty years ago, but it is in fact debatable on whether “style” can be used when referring to their cut at all? And yet you send my roommate home with what can only be considered a girl mullet. I dont care if she likes the front short and the back long. Have you no shame? How can you sleep at night knowing you did that to her? You charged her for that haircut. Shame on you cost cutters, and your mullet giving stylist. [...]
