30 Day Challenge: #13 Someone you wish could forgive you

Dear ladies,

During my freshman year at BU, alot of jokes were told about you two. I don't know if you guys knew we were talking about your hairstyles (or lack thereof) or the way you dressed...or even heard the nicknames. But I do want to say that I apologize for my actions.

I've seen one of you since I've graduated...even spoke. But you kept it moving, and that's fine. Like I said, I apologize.

30 Day Challenge: #11 Letter to a deceased person you wish you could talk to

Dear Granddaddy,

You left when I was only 5 months old...before I could even give you a nickname. So lemme give you a Cliff Notes version of my life.

Learned to walk
Realized I don't like having dirty hands or feet
Graduated kindergarten
Taught myself how to hoop
Had my first real kiss at 12
Graduated from grammar school
Went to the best high school in the city
Played basketball for the best high school in the city
Played trumpet
Your son taught me how to drive
Graduated from the best high school in the city
Went to Bradley University
Tried out for the basketball team and made it
Lost my virginity at 19 (stop searching for your gun)
Graduated with my Bacherlors in Accounting in 4 1/2 years
Started working in the "real world" a week after graduation
At my third job
Youngest in my department
Obtained my Masters in Accounting
Live on my own
Became a Sigma Gamma Rho
Been to Mardi Gras twice, amongst other places
Took a tap dance class

I think I did pretty good in the past 28 years, don't you? Mei-Mei (That's what I started calling Ella Mae when I started talking) and Mom took good care of me. Your sons looked out for me as well. Did you know that they are just as crazy as I heard you were? :-)

I feel like I'm missing some other major events, but those are the ones that stick out to me, right now. I hope you're proud of me.

30 Day Challenge: #10 Letter to someone you don't talk to as much as you'd like to

Dear ladies,

Can you believe it's been 6 years since we've all been in the same 4-block radius of each other? Alot has changed in the past 6 years. Some of the changes include:

A baby has been born;
Advance degrees have been obtained;
Advance degrees are being worked on;
Zip codes have been changed (multiple times for some)
Significant others have been acquired;
Significant others have exited stage left;
Maturity has taken over;

Can you believe we're still good friends? Thanks to the The School that Lydia Started, we've created a bond. And though I don't talk to you all everyday or every week, you all are still my girls. Anytime we get together, it's like May 2004 all over again. I love y'all.

30 Day Challenge: #9 Letter to someone you wish you could meet

Dear Ms. Sanaa Lathan,

I LOVED Love & Basketball because it seemed like an autobiography for me. Well, the "1st Quarter" when Monica first met Quincy. After that, it was someone else's life. Anywho, I saw your skills on the court, and I see you boo! But this letter isn't about your skills, ma'am! I have a serious question that I need you to answer.

How did you get your arms to look so muscular, yet still feminine, in the movie?

I was on the basketball team all through high school. We did conditioning, including lifting weight. I even did push-ups every night before going to bed because I was determined to get some cut (#waitwhat) in my arms. But ya know what...NOTHING.

Having long, skinny arms is NOT sexy to me. Sometimes I feel like I look like this:


So, here I am, at the ripe age of 25*, 20 lbs heavier than h.s., and I still can't get any cuts in my arms. I've pretty much given up. However, I have to see my little sister, who is 13 years younger than me, with bigger wrists and arms than me hitting me with the flex! What kinda ish is this? Praise Yahweh for my calf muscles.

So, again I ask...how did you do it, Sanaa?

30 Day Challenge: #8 Letter to favorite internet friend

Dear Mrs Chevious,

As a member of the Twitter Elite Gang bka The Goons...I just want you to know this one thing. When you make it to Chicago, and we all kick it...It's going down!!!

Also, as a charter member of Omicron Tau Beta Fraternity Un-Incorporated, I advise that you write a letter to your liver AT LEAST a month before said outing with the goons. The letter is simple, yet it shows the liver some love; it shows that you care about your liver. So, take note and use for future reference.

The letter goes as follows:

"Dear Liver,

I'm sorry"

Can't wait to meet ya!

Except for my first love, all of my exes have had kids with the chick after me. So this is dedicated to them!

Dear K, A & R,

Thank God for birth control and prophylactics!!! I couldn't imagine being stuck with you for 18 years of my life. I definitely dodged a bullet! *Hi5*

Love,
