yeah me too :o southern bred thing perhaps????

**putting on my Big Sister Protocol Attire**

It's not about where you're from. I've heard "Nationals" north and south, east and west from the newest neophyte to chapter officers. It still does not make it right. However, we only have one national headquarters. As that is a singular entity, nationals is incorrect.

When referring to attending the national convention, just say you're going to convention. Just like we shouldn't say that we are attending regionals even if you are going to attend the regional conference for Mighty Midwest and Sensational South Atlantic. You can just say you are going to the conference.

If you say "nationals" to the wrong Soror, you might get your feelings hurt.

Knowledge is power. Now it's time to put it to use.

Dear Treblk,
Ok, 2007 was a good year, with some great and not so great things to have happened. 2008 is starting out rather interesting and we need to remember all the growth we have sustained and build on them.

I know how easy it is to revert back to our old ways, however, you know that it only leads to more crap. Remember we are the creaters of our own reality!

Dear Dennis:

I was watching the BCS Championship game last night (sponsored by Allstate, of course) and I enjoyed your new commericals. Well, most of them. In one commercial, you were wearing an ugly gray cardigan a la Mr. Rogers. Hubby said it made you look like someone's "crusty granddaddy." Normally, I would defend you, but I had to laugh right along with Hubby. You looked as if you should have been advertising diabetes testing supplies, Life Alert pendants, and/or asking me to be your neighbor (to which I would say YES! :D) instead of Allstate. In the future, please run all clothing choices by me.

Happy 2008,

Your Biggest Fan 9dstpm

Dear 9dstpm:
Your letters to Dennis are so entertaining. Everytime I see an Allstate commercial, I think about your obsession, I mean, love for Dennis. I hope Dennis realizes how lucky he is to have a stalker, I mean, fan like you!!! :p

Love and kisses (and belly rubs for lil 9dstpm):

Dear 2007,
You really kept me on my toes in all areas and you really tested my patience, understanding, concern for others as well as my ability to not make mountains out of mole hills. My breath was taken away (both in good and bad ways) many times, however those experiences taught me great lessons. Can't really say I am sorry to see you go but http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons7/67.gif.

Ah 2008, welcome to Ms. FLKING's World. I have worked extremely hard to get everything prepared for your extended stay. With just 8 days in, you have already provided me with many laughs, giggles and ear to ear smiles. I hope you continue making it do what it does for the KID. Be aware that whatever you have in store for me, your best bet would be to http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons7/70.gif with all you have. Cant come like lettuce--all head and no http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons7/65.gif.I am all about love, peace, joy & happiness all the drama should take a flying leap:p

Dear Gracious Loving employment Jesus,
I am back from the test...had a lovely little vacation/pitfalls this weekend...I praise your name that the test for the position was right up my alley! I had to pray to calm down from giggling. I understand you place things in the way for a purpose and a reason... I humbly implore you to show favor and grace and to know that I was working my hardest to show my knowledge of the subject matter for the job... and the land was beautiful!

Please....show me this is the next step in my life....

Students that are just now registering for classes that begin in 3 days. . . if you leave this institution with but one thing, let it be this:

POOR PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MY PART!!!

Thank you. Now please come again with the proper attitudes and smiles on your faces when you got your mess together.

Love,

Your favorite advisor, Ms. B.

Students:
I double dare you to try Ms. B. I need to see someone get told the heck off before this month is over.
:)

Dear MA,
good come back, however, if you have a habit of "being in your feelings" please let me know..it aint fun.

Dear You,

It is hilarious to me that I have been having a crush on you for 50-11 years and now that we are speaking again, it all came back. The best part is that I just sent you an email saying that and I am TERRIFIED that I will get my face cracked! Please don't think that I am crazy. I really think that your friends words compounded with my lonliness and singledom have gotten the best of me. But, the truly interesting part is that it's simply that I still harbor an old school crush on you. Yes, we've only been emailing for a few months. No, we have even spoken on the phone yet, nor have we seen one another since about 2001, but I think that this could be something. I could be wrong.... It's just ironic that we have so much in common. Is there a reason why we've reconnected after all these years? Is there a reason why I feel like even though we haven't seen one another, none of that matters because our conversations are allowing us to get to know one another without all the superficial external mess getting in the way? Is there a reason why I feel like you could be "The One" that God has for me? Maybe there is a reason that God let us meet so long ago in school and then lose touch, only to come back together after all these years.... Maybe He wanted us to experience life so that we would be really be ready for one another when the time was right...

Maybe I'm tripping....

Whatever it is, time will tell.





Dear God,

If I am crazy and all wrong about this situation, PLEASE put it on my heart to FALL BACK and not put too much into this. I have made so many mistakes in the past with relationships and I am tired of it. I know that I have been asking You repeatedly to give me patience and allow me to wait for You to send the RIGHT person to me when You felt I was ready. Is he the person? Am I ready? I have mistaken this feeling before and fooled myself into believing that some jerk was the the man you sent for me, only to find out otherwise. What's going on this time? I'm praying for an answer....

Dear Chris Brown,

Quit sangin' that song, playin' with my heart and stuff. You know I am too old for you. You makin' me feel 'shamed.

Love,

CG

Dear little Brother,

You are 16. We (mom, dad, and I ) are really trying to understand WTF is going on with you. Please stop talking back to our parents. When I was your age I got popped in the mouth for that kind of stuff. You are following your 'friends' and I am sick of it. Do not tell me what you are going to do when you have children, because you do not know how you will behave when certain events arise. You are being a huge pain in the rear!! We love you, but if you keep this up mom will probably put up in the hospital.

Let's get it together....please.

Your big sister, who gave you your name.


Dear Lord,

Please help my family. My brother is making my mothers stress level too high and health consequences are a result. It has been a hard couple of years with him, but I know that all things are possible.

In your Son Jesus Name I pray.
