Dear New Shoes: It’s exciting that you cover my whole foot.  Last week was very cold in those flats.

Dear Steve Madden: Thanks for making shoes in my size.  I only feel a little self-conscious shopping in the “teen” shoe section at Nordstrom.

Dear Halloween: I am so excited that you’re here! I hope we get lots of trick-or-treaters (because otherwise I am gonna eat allllll the candy).

Dear Young Frankenstein and The Nightmare Before Christmas: You guys are going to make things so festive tonight.  I love it.

Dear Hawaii:  What about how I’m coming to see you?  (Soon!)

Dear Neutrogena: Guess what?  I’m about to make your fall sunscreen sales go through the roof.  You’re welcome.

Dear Kindle: What are we gonna read next?  I am having a mental block with book-buying.

Dear Goodreads: Your suggestions for what I should read next prove that we clearly don’t know each other very well.  And FYI, just because I read Fifty Shades of Grey (I mean, who didn’t?) and The Hunger Games doesn’t mean I only want to read harlequin romances or weird teen-fantasy books.

Dear Rain: If you could arrive around mid-November, that would be great.  KC says I can’t use the fireplace until you show up.

Dear KC: Remember when you agreed to dress up as a spider so we could all be bugs for Halloween?  I love you.

Dear Penny: Are you ready to put on your bumblebee costume?  I can’t wait.

Love, Chelsea
