Are the holidays sneaking up on you and you’re starting to panic? Are your kids making their lists and checking them twice a million times to make sure they’re just right? Is someone demanding money from you every time you turn around and you’re not sure how you will manage to put presents under the tree? Did you buy presents in Game Stop while your kids were browsing the games and tell the guy at the register to hurry up so you could stuff them in your purse before one of your boys walked up and saw what you were buying? Or maybe you just won the lottery and Christmas is going to be the.best.one.ever. this year! Write the who, what, when, where, and why of the happenings of the week (in letter form of course) grab the button from Julie‘s sidebar, and link up at the bottom.

Dear Hackers

By Beth On September 2, 2011 · 5612 CommentsDear+Hackers2011-09-02+20%3A40%3A40Beth · In Letters of Intent, Memes

I have often said that Letters of Intent is one of my very favorite memes! Today I am especially delighted to have the opportunity that Julie gives us, every Friday, to vent! Want to join in? Run on over to Foursons and link up your own letters of intent! Dear Hackers, I don’t get it! No … really … I don’t! What possible pleasure does it give you to practice some random destruction?

I have blogged through depression, bankruptcy, rebellious kids, health problems, worries, fears, doubts, failures and victories! I have blogged about our best days. And our worst!
