@phira you are way too excited for this infusion thing   You realize that's a NEEDLE, right?  Love, I am way too scared of needles but I'm glad they will make you feel better even though they're super scary

@peaseblossom55 I bet you didn't think you would change the whole OLW thread to a discussion on our shower curtains, did ya?  Ours is like...boring white?  I don't even know!  Obviously it's boring and not cool like yours and @keptinstitches

@KeptInStitches - I had similar issues with my mom over wedding-related decisions.  it wasn't pretty at all.  I'm here if you want to vent or swap stories!

@irishdreamer and @ollie08 and @southernpeach89 and @lalalaurita and @lapeanut1018 (am I missing someone?!) when should we do this southern g2g?  I'm not sure where "in the middle" is really...probably some awful place like Gainesville (sorry UFers, we are not going to Gainesville.)  Any ideas? 

Yes and please. Blue, Ollie and Irish where do you live again? Sorry, I'm forgetful.

KeptInStitches

@cocobellaf, thanks. I hope we can get past this quickly, but I'm afraid we won't be able to.

Dear @phira,
I am now the freaking western doctor.  Please tell me your problems.
Love,

Dear self,
I really hope this #100happydays thing makes you a more cheerful person because you've been one grumpy bitch lately.

Dear Thumb

On Friday, you will bend again!! 

*****************

Dear Hand

Please heal quickly - I promise bending my thumb is necessary.  Try not to hurt too much either.  I know, neither you nor I know what to expect.

Sincerely
Starting to get a little nervous

Dear @buddysmom80 and @swazzle,

I'm sooooo excited to get day-drunk and eat brunch with you two! Especially since I plan to have FI take the pup to the vet for her check-up AND get my car inspected while I'm out. Multi-tasking at its best, right?

xoxo,

Hummingbird

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

Dear FI,

I LOVE when you are so optimistic and motivated about everything. It is so much fun to work together on our Etsy shop, and to just work on improving our life in general. I can tell that this is going to be our best summer yet, and I can't wait to do ALL THE THINGS with you :-)

Love,

Me

Dear Bank Account,

Why do you keep emptying SO QUICKLY? Please stop, it's not nice.

No Love,

Blue & White

@LaPeanut1018 PANAMA CITY IS SO STINKIN FAR AWAY FROM ME! lol.  @lalalaurita.  We're basically all between fort myers and orlando - I'm just on the east coast near cocoa beach

labro

@Hummingbird125 What's going on with the smell issue in your office? Has it been resolved? Did bossman ever show up and do something about it?

labro

@Blue & White Cape San Blas has tons of dog friendly beaches. I will bring Cinders.

Lol, honestly not much closer, just a little further down the coastline but it's only 6.5 hours from Cocoa Beach! Which is the same driving distance for us Atlanta folks.

ETA: Gainesville is gross. I want to go to the beach!!

ShallowSeas

Dear Hormones,
 Not real sure if its you or me, but I'm tired of being in a bitchy mood today.

Sincerely,
Sev

-------------------------------------------
Dear teenage felons I work with,
"Ms. Sev's name is Ms. Sev" is not an acceptable answer for the question "What did you learn in group today?"  on the group evaluation. I just spent an hour and half teaching you all skills and the only thing all 8 of your learned was that my name was Ms. Sev?! Grrr....

Sincerely,
Ms. Sev

-------------------------------------------------
Dear Bloat,
My pants are tight and uncomfortable today and I feel like a busted can of biscuits. Get your shit together and just stahp.

Sincerely,
Girl who hates period side effects.

---------------------------------------------------
Dear FI,
kinda excited about starting on our centerpieces tonight, not gonna lie. I love being crafty and getting things done for our wedding, and I love even more that you help with it. You're theeee best and I hope you know that.

Love,
your FI

Blue & White

@severmilli12 yep, I think those teenagers need another lesson.  But this time they already KNOW your name is Ms Sev, so that can't be what they learn next time (right??!)  I have a special place in my heart for teenagers on the fringe.  It sounds like you do too

@LaPeanut1018 damn Atlanta is far away lol.  Can I bring H?  I went to school in Tally, so I mean...I might have people to visit on the way home or something

ShallowSeas

@blue I do although I don't know why. They can be so frustrating a lot of the time but there's no other population I'd rather work with. Its hard seeing so much potential in them and trying to help them when they don't care to be helped.

Blue & White

@severmilli12 eye to eye.  I teach at the community college and have had so many students (young and old) who are dealing with all sorts of things that are so much bigger than them (family in jail, just coming out of jail, teenage pregnancy, spousal abuse, you name it!) but they're still able to show up (usually) to class and try to better themselves.  It's pretty inspiring, especially when I've just had a pretty boring vanilla life so far.  They teach me a lot.

phira

@Blue I'm not a fan of the needles when I get infusions, mostly because it has to stay in for 2 hours, and because a lot of the (otherwise spectacular) nurses just really stick me badly. Every other infusion, I come home with bruising

@Sakalicious BOW DOWN BEFORE THE WESTERN DOCTOR. There's an antibody that, in my hands, gives a band at the wrong molecular weight. Granted, I've gotten a LOT better at Westerns lately (way less background crap), so this problem might be solved.

audrewuh

Dear sinus infection/cold/monster beast thing,

Go away. You're not welcomed here. 

Sincerely,

Girl whom you're currently inhabiting

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

My lovely H,

I get that you can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, but when I am attempting to fall asleep at the same time as you, I cannot have menial conversations. I need to not use my brain to talk, to form sentences, or anything of the sort. So, for god's sake, please stop talking to me when I'm trying to wind down. 

All my love,

Your W, who has burst through her patient pants

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

Work fairies,

I need an intern. Please find me one. And stop making the processes so fucking hard. Two people should be sufficient enough to interview a college kid. Please don't make me work around three grown adult's schedules. 

Screw red tape,

Frustrated employee

dear tornadoes and other severe weather,

please stay away tonight and this weekend.  I don't want to have to use our new tornado shelter.

sincerely,
scaredy-cat Coco

Blue & White

@cocobellaf I would invite you down here to ride out the spring, but given we don't have these things called basements in FL, I don't even know.  Supposedly my bathroom is sufficient in a tornado situation, except that it's on the 2nd floor of an apartment building   I highly doubt my downstairs neighbor is going to let me bunk for the night...

I often start conversations with BF as we're going to sleep. I don't know why, but bedtime is when AAAALLLLL these random thoughts that I NEED TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW pop into my head. 

He'll start with full answers, then "uh huh," and eventually digress to grunts before I give up and go to sleep. 

Blue & White

@GoldenPenguin yep, H thinks I talk the most RIGHT before bed. I probably do. I'm chatty when I'm tired.

audrewuh

@goldenpenguin What gets me is it isn't even real conversation. Most of the time, our important conversations happen in bed, but when the lights turn off, and he rolls over to snuggle with me, he wants to know what I'm reading (Harry Potter), or how my day was (we already talked about this), or what I think about the job he applied to earlier that day (my opinion hasn't changed). Like, we've already talked about all of this. And he always gives me shit about how I'm up so much later than he is. It takes me for-fucking-ever to fall asleep, and he doesn't quite understand that.

ETA: I had paragraphs. TK ate them. 

Also, I feel like shit, so I'm cranky and whiny. 

CLoGreenEyes

@buddysmom80 - glad you caught up with the rest of the us on the realization that you are GORGEOUS. Can't wait to see the rest of your e-pics!

@IrishDreamer, sending you vibes for confidence and your raise! Those conversations are so scary, but be bold! It is 100% justified to ask for what you have earned and shown you deserve as an employee.

@Sakalicious, I wish you all the luck with 100 Happy Days. It stressed me out trying to be all  happy all the time AND take a decent picture of whatever made me happy. It did help me notice the good stuff in every single day, though.

Dear BFF,

YOUR WEDDING IS ON FRIDAYYYYYYYYYY AAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Love,

Your best friend who is getting really excited!!!!

***

Dear super-attractive guy from wayyyyy back in freshman year that I just ran into again,

You are welcome to take advantage of that number you insisted I give you. I'm glad I saw you and went up to say hi, it was great to talk to you again! I completely agree, we should do it again.

Sincerely,

CLo

P.S. Holy hell, man. You are FINE. I happened to notice that.

***

Dear self,

See, you DO feel better when you work out. So please...go back to gym again this week?

Love,

I want to feel fantastic and energetic and happy

***

Dear Med-Surg II,

I'm getting really scared of you. Please don't be as bad as I'm anticipating.

Sincerely,

I might have a small crisis if I have to retake you and not graduate until December

***

Dear dinner,

Please make yourself; Papa John's is calling my name, and I haven't got money or room on my ass for it.

Love,

Hungry and tired

FoxandBunny

Dear Internships,

Please magically appear and let me have you. Seriously. This is getting ridiculous. I need to do something this summer!

Please?

A poor college student who needs experience

Dear BF,

I'm sorry I've been so grumpy lately. I've been super stressed and I feel like I have no control. I also can't talk to you as much anymore because of your new job and it's making me sad. But going and looking at sparklies this weekend will probably help my mood

All the Loves,

Your grumpy GF

Dear glasses,

Why did you just suddenly snap in half? I really need you to see. 

Why?

Girl who can't afford the $165 to fix you

phira

@FoxandBunny Zenni Optical. J lost his brand new $300 pair of glasses a couple years ago. The pair we got to replace his glasses isn't very high end, but it's otherwise great and cost $40.

FoxandBunny

@phira - I've never heard of them, but I'll definitely look into it! I don't know why just one little piece (it's $165 to just replace the bridge/nose piece thing!) is so expensive! It's mind boggling! 

CLoGreenEyes

Dear Nugget (not bride2b's nugget but MY stupid idiot brother whom I call Nugget),

Why did Mom just tell me to make sure all my money and valuables are accounted for, go up and rattle around in your room, and then go into her room and start sniffling?

Seriously, just GTFO if you're going to do this shit.

Pissed off,

Your sister who is just waiting for the official bad news now
