Time is of the essence people, so let's just get to the good stuff. I've missed you, I hope you're well, let's grab a drink soon to catch up. Until then, here are a few love letters from me to the world and the things I love.
Dear OSU Basketball:
Smooches! I love what you are doing right now. That KU win...it was pretty darn great. I know when I am yelling so loud and for so long that I get light-headed, things in the sports world are going well for me. Thank you for playing hard and hustling for loose balls and showing that you want to win as much as I want you to win. It's really all I've ever asked for. And thank you to KU basketball fans for being so irrational. You give me a good giggle. Relax just a little and stop being so bitter. Yes, you are elite. No, I don't care. I only care how elite you are when my team beats your elite team. You guys should stop and have a chat with OU football fans....you all have a lot in common.
Back to the Pokes, keep up the fight, guys. And just a reminder, I never stopped coming. I wasn't fair-weather. I've been suffering along with you the last few years. So you just let me know where you want me to stand on stage when we exceed expectations and win a Big XII title.
Orange you glad you started rebounding?

Dear Tiny Human,
Thanks for reminding me that girls rule and being a feminist starts young. Yesterday when you asked, "What does the doctor do?" And I answered, "He makes you feel better," I was pleased, proud and a little embarrassed that you then pointed out, "The doctor is a girl!" Of course she is! Girls Power!
Sing it Sister!

Dear Daycare,
Thanks for the reminder that everyone has to bring Valentines to school. I didn't know that rule last year and logically thought, "they are one year old, why would they need Valentines? They can't read, and only have two teeth each." Much to my chagrin I was the only mom who didn't provide Valentines. One mom even brought them late because her kid was out sick on party day. Color me embarrassed. My bad, babies. This year, you will be so happy to see my store-bought, extremely impersonal Valentines! You are SO welcome.
Look, I'm raising a feminist if you didn't hear, so you guys just let me know what day during reading week I can guest read The Feminist Mystique.
Sorry I'm not good at making things,
Tiny Human's Mom
Dear ASU Baseball,
You kick off the season versus the Cowboys tonight. I have a very fond spot in my heart for you. I spent many an afternoon sweating out all the toxins watching you all play. I heckled. I cheered. I was a proud Sun Devil baseball season ticket holder. It feels weird to root against you.
But not so weird that I'm not going to do it. Go Pokes, the road to Omaha starts tonight.
Fork 'em every game but these three,
KHR
