Umm hmmm.... It was a "woosah" moment ahright. That child brought out my "gangsta".

But it's good... she (or her man) won't be calling my phone or even looking in my direction if they see me in public.

GKB:
Induction tonight into the National Junior Honor Society – your faith and hard work is paying off before your eyes. Add to that, your award last night as a City Wide All-Star Scholastic Performer, (two years in a row), and words cannot convey my feelings about the young lady I’m watching you become. (Ok, you're 13, so I will even start to pull up about the after school dances ....a little bit.)

EDB:
And yes, when you're 30, you'll still be my "baby." Another year on the Honor Roll and a nomination for Second grade class president. Like you, I really don’t know why the second grade needs a class president either, but, baby, you got to give the people what they want.... My suggestion, Madame President? Extra cookies at lunch time and more break time for Mrs. Lee (that should help with the faculty vote)

You guys cannot know the honor you give me of being your dad. It is a pleasure watching you continue to soar. God Bless you both.

Love,
Daddy

Dear TonyB06:
I love reading your letters to your girls! You are a fantabulous daddy! I hope they and their mother know how lucky they are to have you as a dad!

All the best,
a fellow parent.

ps: a 2nd grade class president? Future politician on our hands? The first black woman president?!!

[btb87]

TonyB,

I you! Your girls are very blessed to have you as their father.

And . . . thank you.

Dear Tony B,

You should write a book. A collection of letters to your daughters. It'd be a hit and I could get a cut of your profits.

That's a good idea. OR at least write them these letters and share them with your daughters on a special day -- off to college day, wedding day.

thanks, N1920,
Right now, I think she's peeping that VP slot from Barack. We'll have to work out some kind of independent study thing for 3rd grade if she has to go to Washington. lol

lol --MeezD is upfront about hers, for real! I jot a few things down but mainly I just try to holla when I got something to say, like most parents, I'd hope.

...hey, hey, don't be rushing any wedding days, please.

You guys are all kind in your comments. I just try to be the kind of man that I'd want them to look to have in their own lives. ......years down the road that is, cause right now I will hurt somebody's child for real, for real.

Dear Tony B,

I just love the letters to your daughters. Speaking as a thirty something year old 'Daddy's Girl', they will just love it when (or if) you present these letters to them when they go off to college or get married. I write letters to my sons all the time, and I'm saving them in a scrapbook for them when they're grown men. My letters go back to the day I found out I was pregnant with each of them. My mother suggested I do that as a special gift for each of them.

That was very sweet and touching. Your proudness shines through your letters and congratulations on raising intelligent, active children!

Dear Sisterfriends,

It is now the end of May. Together, we all received our rejection letters in early March. The line that we were not selected for crossed into the ‘land of Blah Blah’ in mid-April. Let’s move on with our lives. Please stop calling me to replay why you think we didn’t make it. The why is no longer important at this time, because knowing why won’t change things.

Take stock of your life; we are still beautiful, we still contribute to society and we are actually financially richer. Even more so, if you count all the things the other women had to pay in becoming members and committing their lives to the most illustrious, dynamic, never duplicated sorority on Earth; the one and only Blah Blah Sorority, INNNNCORPORATED. God has a greater plan and being a member at this time, wasn’t it.

If the money is still burning a hole in your piggy bank, either donate it to your favorite charity, pay off some bills or go buy something very very nice for yourself.

If you Sisterfriends are the true hearts that I think you are, you will take time to reconnect with old girlfriends and other sisterfriends who are already in your lives. You will find that you are already part of your own sororities, in which, if you are as diligent as I am about picking my friends, you will already have some 'sho-nuff got ya' back women in your life.

Keep serving your community doing the things that make you feel good. Just because it was classified as self-serving doesn’t mean you didn’t ultimately help someone. Get over that point. Your time was and still is valuable to all people you helped. When you feel the time is right, then you can switch community service to be more reflective of what is needed.

But I implore you; search your heart before you do. Ask yourself 'Why would I feed the homeless, if I really like working with the kids in my school?' Keep in mind that women in the sorority do what they like and get involved in committees where their talents are best suited, too. Don't be fooled into thinking that members do 'painful' community/committee service work. And if it is painful, they do it with their sisters, so there is a bigger intrinsic joy. Don't go to the homeless shelter, by yourself, thinking it will get you brownie points if you would rather be somewhere else.

Sisterfriends, you are grown women, it is at this juncture of your life that you should be comfortable in your skin and happy in what you do. Don’t let ANYBODY take that away from you, EVER. We are long past the ages of 19. Some longer than others.

So in summary, if getting a rejection letter is the only thing that bonds us, please don’t call me anymore. But if you are calling to invite me to a community service project that you are doing, or to say that your kids are excelling/having problems and you wanted to share the joy or reach out for my help, most certainly, feel free to call at any time. I will be there for you. If you are calling to tell me a joke, make me smile, share your joys, please call me.

Don’t call me to say that you saw such and such. Don't call to ask did I hear about certain unpublished events--if a member didn't call me (and I know plenty), then maybe I'm not invited. (Perhaps if a member didn't call you, maybe you aren't invited either, hmmm?) Don’t call me to say you heard this, you heard that. Don’t call to say such and such chapter might be doing something next year, let’s try again. Don’t call to say “it’s their loss, I really thought you would make it.” Do me and yourself a favor, lose my number, because on this matter, I don’t give a rip. Life goes on and this is officially the summer of SPINDERELLA!!!!!

I will still Luv Ya, Sisterfriends!! (even from a distance)

PS Find some good-hearted Sisterfriends, go see Sex In the City on Friday and toss back some Cosmos. You’ll feel better! Make ’08 YOUR SUMMER!


PS 2--If you find yourself at a public or private Blah Blah Sorority Innnnnncorporated event and you are still neurotic about what colors to wear, IT IS OKAY TO STOP WEARING BROWN AND GRAY!!! Add some new colors to your wardrobe...perhaps oranges (rust to peach), yellows (canary to gold), purples(orchid to deep rich purple), teals, or turquoise. Wear colors that will uplift your spirits. It may take some time to find these colors, but when you do, it will be that much sweeter to uniquely represent yourself while feeling good in a color that complements your beautiful skin tones. Gray ain't never did nothing for nobody.


Red, pink (all variations ranging from fuschia to mauve), burgundy, green (ranging from olive or lime) or royal blue are not the only color games in town.

Dear JB:

You suck. I mean you really suck azz. You know dayum well you were supposed to send me that information for that meeting last week. I hate the fact that you are so nonchalant about this ish. Why am I not surprised? What should I expect from someone who's mommy and daddy probably still pay your bills? Oh, but you've been here longer than me. So, you should know better but of course, you don't. Also, if I get yelled at by our respective boss about the meeting not being handled properly, it won't fall on your shoulders. It will fall on mine. The new hire.

Dude. I really don't like you right now. So, please stay out of my office for the next two days. I really don't want to see your tub of lard slithering down the hallway to make nice. You are officially on my list!!!


With regards,

pissedoffone
