Dear So and So

Dear Sidi Road Shoes,

I can't help it, but I hate you. I hate how you slip off the pedal and make me rack myself. I hate how I am afraid to cross in front of cars which would be far enough away if I was sure my foot was going to stick. I hate how I can't unclip and just ride unclipped in uncertain situations, momentarily, because my feet will slide off. Why did you have to look so pretty on the website? Some day when I am not lazy, I will try to find a new home for you. I love your MTB sisters, though...

Dear Sidi Road Shoes- Part II,

I hate you too. When I first bought you, it took me like 2 months to break you in. Unfortunately, I had to suffer through 2 days of pain at the MS150, where the tounge dug into the front of my foot. Yes, it HURT to put you back on, for the second day.

I also hate the way you are made for REALLY SKINNY FEET. Sure, I have narrow feet. But dang, if I get the least bit hot, or if I need to put on thicks socks... you don't fit me anymore... and your to too tight.

Finally... why don't you have comfy padding in the bottom of the shoe? Yes, I put new padding in, but that sucks too.

And, my toes go numb when I wear you, but I won't blame you for the numb toes... although maybe I should.

One of these days, IF I have enough money, I am sure as hell going to replace you with shoes that I like.

Sincerely,
Karen

Dear Women's Clothing Manufacturers,

Is there a logical reason behind every brand being sized differently? I mean, would it be so difficult to have a uniform sizing? I know that with men's clothing the sizes are uniform. Men do not have to ponder whether a small in one size is really a medium in another and my all time favorite, one brand is a small and the next is a large? What is up with that?? I cannot speak for all women, maybe some like to try on a bazillion sizes until they find what fits. Me, I prefer to know my size and go from there. I hate trying on clothing, but would be willing to if the LBS stocked womens cothing-that is another letter. Please, please try to make sense of womens clothing.

Dear Handsome Hubby,

I just want to say thank you because you're the one who popped up with "I know you need to train for such and such ride so what do you want to do this weekend? We should be out the door really, really early."

You're a gem.

Dear People Who Live Across the Street:

Please explore the neighborhood! Your kids will love the great playground 1/2 a mile away! They can run and scream and play lots of places! They do not need to be restricted to the 1/2 block in front of your building! Yes! Take a walk! Take the kids! Everyone will be happy! And lower your voices, please. If I can hear you over here, surely you can hear each other just fine.

Signed,
Your cranky neighbor who works nights sometimes and really needs to sleep during the day.
