Dear Hater,

First of all it is totally not classy to leave a hate-comment on an old post. 

Second, while you are entitled to an opinion on my cake-decorating skills, making a bad cake does not make me a bad mom. I never claimed to be a professional, so shut the hell up.

Third, while I certainly could have bought a crappy grocery store cake, that wouldn’t guarantee that it would be nicer.

Fourth, that cake was my daughter’s dearest birthday wish, so the time and energy invested in it was to make her happy. And she was happy. Thrilled, in fact! If you had read more than one post on my blog, you’d realize that. Also, the kids helped me make the cake, so it’s not like I locked them in a closet while I baked and decorated. But thank you for judging me so quickly. Obviously I value the opinion of someone who has never met me or taken the time to read more than a couple hundred words I wrote one day several months ago. So thank you for saving me from myself!

Fifth, leaving a fake email address is so last year. Also? Quit surfing the net while at work. It doesn’t take a genius to find out where you’re located (Hello, Quan, Burdette & Perez P.C. Legal Services!) and luckily I’m married to one badass tech-geek who can probably find out your home address in five minutes.  You’re lucky I don’t call your work and report your lazy ass. Or at least report your fake name’s lazy ass.

Disdainfully yours,
Shannon

Dear Quan, Burdette & Perez P.C., 5177 Richmond Ave., Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77056,

One of your employees is surfing on company time. And besides that? He/she is an asshole. Time for the “respecting company time and resources” lecture!

Respectfully yours,
Shannon
