[Dear You. . .]

[Suki Wingy]

Dear Alex,
Do you know half the reason I want to buy that scrawny unbroke mare? I think you do. When you asked me if Amber was pretty I almost blurted out, "Do you think I'm pretty?" but then didn't have the guts to. I think today was the first day you realized how I feel about you. You know when I was having dinner with the clinician on Saturday she asked if you were cute and Lexi, Hayley, and Missy all said no. I kept my mouth shut. Hope that venison steak and potatoes was good, I had another BLT from Subway tonight.

Alex,
Thanks for not noticing me again. I can tell you want to be friends but I practically asked you to dinner tonight and still you didn't say anything. Are you just that thick or did that make you nervous? Hayley assures me her friend isn't interested in you. I'm more than happy to just settle for friends but how can we be friends if we never really do anything. I watch you ride horses, you watch me ride horses, we talk briefly, and that's it. Is that all you want? And no, I will not stop wearing my vintage army coat. I love it very much. Stop saying I look like a Nazi in it. Sometimes I want to run up and glomp you and sometimes I want to punch you. You're making me crazy!

Dear Family,

You need only tolerate one another for a few hours tomorrow and then you're done until Thanksgiving. For our parents' sake, please, let's all try to make nice for one afternoon.

Thank you,
Your Sister

Dear You-Know-Who,

Please stop sharing your vacation details with me, since I was not invited.
