Dear BF's furnace,

I will give you this: you did wait to fully bork yourself until it wasn't 40 below. 10 below isn't much of an improvement, but we'll take it. And it wasn't windy. Still ... why did you bork yourself? Now he has to replace you and it's still pretty darn cold at his place ...

No love,

GF of the shivering one

Dear NBC,

Recognizing that I'm in the USA, I'd still like to see some more non-USA athletes. I'm just glad I'm near enough to the border that I can watch some CBC Olympic coverage and get the Canadian athletes.

Dear KAL scarf,

You're going much better this time around. It's the start of a beautiful friendship between this yarn and me.

Dear Winter,

Please go away. This is Georgia...we aren't supposed to have massive snow and ice storms. 1 to 3 inches today and 3 to 5 inches tonight? Wtf?

No love, Me and my freezing hands

Dear neighbor's husky,

Please go home. I've tried to give you food, water and shelter but clearly you aren't interested in what I have to offer. Oh, and if you could NOT dig up our garden bed and drain tile again that would be greeaat.

Love, someone who wishes your owners had the sense and authority to drag you in from the cold

~~~

Dear work,

Please don't be crazy busy today. I really don't have a lot of motivation. I just want to hang out in my pjs and sweatshirt and stare unhappily outside at the ice storm.

Love, your normally very devoted employee who just wants a day off

Dear tax return,

Yay!!! You're here! I'm so happy!

Dear BF's maintenance guys,

Just because you can find a part out of state for the antique cobbled-together off-brand furnace does not mean this is a good repair method. Bonus points for placing the order before talking to him about it. We cheerfully would have bought a new furnace today to avoid having the billion space heaters you're bringing over now. They'll go really well with the cat.

No love,

Stitches and BF

Dear snowstorm,

Please be epic, but do not affect our heat. I would like a couple days off of work while getting to enjoy netflix, hot meals, and internet surfing. kthxbai.

Dear DH,

Why is it that we speak two different languages when it comes to finances? I thought handing it over to you would make it better, not worse. Now I'm never sure what's going on in the bank account.

Love,

Dear @tuarceatha,

I miss you, even though I saw you last weekend. The rest of February doesn't look good, nor does March, and April is shaping up to be a bear. Can we put a wine-tasting day on the calendar for May?

Love,

Tiger

Dear Tiger,

Keep up the good work on working out and counting calories!

Dear Boss and Clients,

Stop emailing. You're ruining my snow day.

@lalalaurita FI and I are both working from home today. It's raining ice at our house right now. It was a whole lot prettier when there was actual snow coming down. I think @southernpeach89 went to stay with my parents. For some super weird reason whenever the temperature gets below freezing she and her H stop getting internet at their apartment.

Dear @cu97tiger,
I'll see you in a couple weeks, won't I? Have you forgotten about JT? We need more specifics about that night, btw. Are we meeting for din-din?

But a wine tasting afternoon in May sounds lovely. Early May. I'm headed back west for another week long business trip in later May.

Also, go you and your progress. Have you found another dress or are you stalking the hot one from Nordstrom?

Lastly, how come you so funny?

Best,

Dear Snow,

Please don't for tomorrow. I mean, if you do that's fine. I have Netflix, laundry, cleaning and preparing for @brisox81 to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it March yet???

---------------------------------------

Dear Body,

Can we lose a little more than 2.5 lbs in four weeks????? I mean, I'll be okay with that if that's what you want to do, but like maybe 1-2 lbs a week instead of four??? Maybe this Saturday will be better, but any loss is good, right???

-----------------------------------------

Dear FI,

Thanks for cleaning up your mess of an office, it looks a lot better than it usually does, but we still have a lot of work to do in that room. I can't wait to marry you in 10 months!!!!!

----------------------------------------

Dear Europe,

I lost track of when I'm flying out there, but it's in March and that's next month, so that's exciting!

Dear snow,

Go away and please don't come back... I'm so sick of shoveling and bad weather.

Thanks,

Dear body,

I know I'm putting you through a lot physically and mentally just stay with me for another 2-3 weeks and it will calm down a bit

Dear fiancé,

Two months from today!!!

Dear hobby lobby,

Please don't be busy. I need more flowers

-apparently bouquets take a lot of flowers

Dear Olympics,

The coverage stinks this year, again. I want Olympics by demand (ie I choose the sport and when and who)

-hasn't technology come to this yet?

Dear Danny, Jo, and Lacey,

I am so glad you're back!!

-Twisted addict

Swazzle

@Blue - I haven't watched this week's episode yet but I'm glad Twisted is back too!!! Also, I hated picking songs for my wedding. It was probably my 2nd least favorite things to do (the 1st being writing checks).

@blue wow 2 months!!!! Yay what items are still on your to-do list?

Dear @tuarceatha,

I DID forget about JT. Woo hoo! Yes, we need plans. I should be able to leave work a little early that day. I'm madly in love with Matchbox and there is one two blocks from the Verizon Center. Meet there for din din?

I haven't found another dress but I'm also not stalking that one. I'll probably do another shopping trip later this month and see what I find. I have a black dress that I love, I just wish it wasn't black. Maybe I should just invest in some colorful accessories/shoes?

My mama always said I was funny (looking)!

How about the weekend of May 10/11 for wine tasting? We're in Richmond the weekend before.

YAY!

Dear @Blue,

Yay, two more months!!! Eeeeee!!!

Dear headache,

This is like day 8 of your nagging. I think I'd almost rather have a full blown migraine that goes away rather than this dull aching you've been doing. Please leave me soon, I don't like taking meds for anything.

No love,

Dear BF,

I'm REALLY excited for our date night this Friday. And I'm also excited about our budget that we've been working on for a while now. I really think we've fine-tuned it. I'm sure there are other areas we can trim if necessary, but I'm ridiculously proud of how far we've come! Thank you for all of your support.

Lots of love,

Dear money,

Can you grow on trees so I don't have to pinch pennies? We may have figured out how to manage you, but we'd really appreciate a little more to work with each month. So if you could just get on that, it'd be great.

Holy hell.  What happened?!  You've done a total 180 in personality in the last 2ish weeks and it's really scaring me.

Dear Universe, 

Why can't the week only be comprised on Saturdays and Sundays?

Dear FACS,

Please be easy to do. Please give me good results. Please be easy to remember how to run because I don't want to break the machine, and I don't want the person in charge to be irritated with me for clearly not remembering how the fuck to work the damn machine or software.

Dear weather,

Please don't be TOO ridiculous tomorrow. It's already hard enough to motivate myself to get to work.

Dear cells,

I THINK I thawed the wrong batch of you. I hope not! You'd better be alive and rocking out when I check on you in an hour!

Dear wedding,

You are going to rock. Look at all these paper flowers! Look at this hotel block! Look at these cake tastings! I love cake.

Dear NEYers,

Thank you for always providing support and distraction, advice and encouragement, and a place where I feel welcome. It's been a while since I've been a part of a community online, and I couldn't have asked for a better one to be a part of.

Dear Carpal Tunnel:

You've gone from bad to 'holy fucking hell someone please chop off my arm'. The whole pinched nerve shit is ridiculous. It's also way not cool that you are keeping me up all night with the most horrid pain. This is my very last chance to see sleep for a very long time.

No love,

Dear snow:

Please don't tease me this time. Please be so much that my coworkers will INSIST I not come in tomorrow being that it's not exactly safe to drive if it's bad, and getting into an accident would be no bueno. And the fact that our buildings and grounds people have no idea how to effectively de-ice and remove snow from the parking lot.

Grumble grumble.

@peaseblossom55 it feels like everything is still on my to-do list, lol.  Mainly decorative stuff though - escort cards, finish my flowers, ceremony/reception decorations, etc.

I made my bouquet and some boutinnieres (I will never spell that correctly) today.  trying to figure out how I want to wrap the bouquet - trying to incorporate my great grandma's handkerchiefs into the wrap I think.

Peaseblossom55

@blue our to do list doesn't sound too bad.  it sounds like of the decor is DIY, I'm so awful at that stuff. I wish were talented to be able to do some of that it would save us a lot of money.  Oh well.  Post pics of everything when you have time!

Dear "boss",

I am SO GRATEFUL you're giving me all your errands to run, and paying me VERY well to do it, but I promise that if you just give me a heads up that's you'll be home all day, or that you need me to work for several hours (instead of just one), I will not show up in gym clothes. 

Sincerely,

You're the best one, and I promise to give you all the snuggles and playtimes later.
