Dear DH,

I love you a lot.  And it felt really nice to come home yesterday and make you a tasty meal, and eat at the table like grown folks.  You're the best, and I'm so lucky you're mine.

Love,
Wifey

P.S.  I have these lyrics stuck in my head, and they make me think of you.  "All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughin' with you."  Maybe I should listen to a little less Daughtry on Pandora?

Dear @swazzle,

Happy Birthday, Lady!  I hope you celebrate with NOM-worthy food, lots of wine, and oral sex.  Because come on, that's about as good as cake.  Also, you should get a cake...maybe Carvel with crunchies?

Love,
Shoes

Dear Self,

I'm proud of you for staying on the wagon.  And I'm proud of you for whipping up a shepherd's pie out of nowhere last night.  You're not normally a creative cook.  Go you!

Love,
Self who is beginning to love cooking

Dear @minskat30,

I love reading your posts to/about your DH.  You love each other so much.  It's SO sweet.

Love,

Dear Car, Please let there be nothing wrong with you. I think it will be just awesome if all I have to do is get my oil change Hoping for the best, your owner Work #1, I'm so excited for our new workshop and new MUSEUM! The new museum is going to be so pretty and awesome. I can't wait to manage it. Sure the workshop is smaller but I'll make it work somehow. Maybe we should get rid of some of this stuff like the sling shots? I don't think they need to be added to the geological timescale. Mk thanks! Your eager micbeaver employee Dear Work#2, Sorry I can't be in work for today! My car is being dumb and I love working for you guys! I will complete my fish henry someday. Also pretty happy that I don't have to glue samples for a little while. Pretty sure I was going to set those glues on fire if they got on my hands one more time. Also excel spreadsheet could you actually work? That would make my database experiences so much easier. Frazzled employee Dear Work#3, I think you are really cool and I love the museum itself. But I haven't really clicked with any of my coworkers. Plus no one in the upper levels has introduced themselves to me that much. I know you have a lot of volunteers, but I don't think I'll use for a reference for grad school. Barely content employee Dear V, You are amazing and I'm so happy that you are my boyfriend. I can't believe it's already almost a year. Thanks for always being supportive and affectionate. You definetly win the best guy ever award. I promise I'll try harder to learn how to cook so you won't have too all the time. Your loving girlfriend Dear Self, Good job for working out and eating more healthy. Sure you mess up and snack on unhealthy things but you are only human. You have lost 4 pounds and I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work! Love self ETA DAMN YOU KNOT! I had paragraphs!

Blue & White

Dear H,

We are ridiculous, but I love you. 

-W

Dear sister,

I'm so glad I have you to discuss our most ridiculous medical issues.  There are seriously no boundaries there, and it's good for both of us.

-We talk about poop SO much

Dear house,

You are almost mine!

-So excited I can't even describe it

Dear All-star game announcers,

If anyone was playing a drinking game where they drank every time you said Jeter last night, they would be dead.  I get it, he's awesome, but there were something like 69 other all-stars last night too.

-I don't even like bandwagoning when it's for my own team

Dear A,

How is it you NEVER DIE?!

-PLL is insane.

phira

@blue I didn't even know the All Star Game was last night, and I am glad I missed it. It gets worse and worse every year.

(Also POOP)

Blue & White

@phira I'm not gonna lie, H booed all the Bosox and Yankees as they were introduced.  He takes this baseball thing seriously

And yea, we talk about poop a lot   And counsel the rest of the board on poop.  It's like an obsession.

I have another one:

Dear Friends with a Sick Kid,

Maybe I'm heartless or will be a terrible parent one day, but I can't help but roll my eyes at your decision to take your 3-year-old daughter to the ER when she couldn't keep anything down for 24 hours. A stomach bug isn't that big of a deal, and I think you're being a little over dramatic. Kids get sick. A trip to the ER is crazy expensive, and hooking your kid up to an IV for a stomach bug is really excessive. Now you're posting pics of her with the IV on FB and talking about how it felt like your world was ending, and I mean... it was a stomach bug. Seriously. I know you're hurting for your kid and all, but slow your roll.

Sorry not sorry,

Me

minskat30

Awwww @loves2shop4shoes, we are a little sappy.  You and your H, however, are equally cute together.  I've seen the cuteness in person and need to see your faces again soon.

Sincerely,

Maybe can see the end from here

Oh, there were actually BoSox there to boo? We suck so hard this year, I just assumed not. Well, I mean, I know Farrell was managing the AL team, and I know at least one Sox player had to be there because of da rules, but we really are quite awful this year.

@KeptInStitches
What do you mean by reactor? What are you trying to get done?

It was just vague enough to get me interested, haha

Lester & Koji! 

Don't worry, they're bringing up a lot of the good young guys from the minors. You're going to be seeing the future of the Sox for the rest of the season. 

GoldenPenguin

Also, I fricken LOVE John Farrell, and Tito is still one of my favorites. FI & I are naming our tables with our favorite Sox & Pats players, and we actually considered doing a Tito table. 

Blue & White

@phira at least @goldenpenguin was paying attention because I was just remembering Lester   DUH Koji was there because he was hanging out with Matt Wieters before the game and I was all "cute memories" lol - good ol' Koji. 

Oh yes, and one more OLW:

Dear retail job,

Stop giving me bruises.  I look like I got beat up by a rabid chicken or something.

-Apparently I balance boxes on my thighs when they are too heavy for my arms...

ShallowSeas

Dear Teeth and Gums,

Ow. The dentist is always so painful.  At least you look better and won't hurt anymore. Why you gotta be so crowded and sensitive?

Signed,
Girl with the sore mouth.

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

Dear FI,

You are seriously the sweetest.  Thank you for driving all over Indy looking for an anchor or octopus wall decor. Sucks we didn't find any we liked   You're the best and I would give anything to be able to kiss you right now   Even with my numb lips. I love you more than I can put into words.

Love,
Your FI

--------------------------------
Dear soon-to-be boss,

I am so excited to start working there!! I'm just really dreading telling my current boss that I'm leaving. Awkward.

Signed,
Future employee

Dear self,

I want to be 26 but I also want to be 6.  Adulting is hard.

Love,
Sev

phira

@GoldenPenguin Blue Ahhh KOJI I love Koji.

I actually got to see Mookie Betts play down in Pawtucket about a month and a half ago. I'm really excited to see how he does in the majors.

@TwoDimes I was being a bit sarcastic; my rent is pretty high, considering the size and quality of our apartment. We're paying a lot for location; if we lived an extra 5-10 minute walk from the T stop, our rent would likely be a lot less. This fall, $1650 for 1.5BR 1BA, H/HW included, 690 sqft.

GoldenPenguin

@phira - FI LOVES Mookie. Not as much as he loves Xander Bogaerts, but close. 

KeptInStitches

@EisleyJoGo, I'm a chemical engineering graduate student. The reactor is a chemical reactor for my research.

[Deleted User]

@KeptInStitches Okay, I was hoping so, haha. I'm an electrical engineer, so I was like, "Oh man, maybe she works at a nuclear generating plant or something!" Definitely cool.

Dear Allergies,

Nope. Go away. Thank you.

Dear Friday,

You sexy SOB. Where are you hiding? I can't wait to see you again.

@Kelani23 and @GoldenPenguin, travel nursing was just on my mind this week as I was thinking about this! It seems like an awesome idea; I just dunno if I'm ready to take THAT plunge. I am not the most extraverted person, so I can see myself getting very lonely and isolated if I had to pick up and move every few months - I can't imagine making enough connections in such a short period that I wouldn't feel that loneliness. Still, after my first year or so on the job when I get sick of people, definitely something to think about.

@Phira, ahhhhhh, Boston! Actually BC has this incredible Masters program for the specialty I want to go into, so I have considered moving there. The price tag is a little steep for right now, but after I've worked for a few years and get my BSN it's a definite possibility.

phira

@TwoDimes Yeah, Boston isn't the worst (NYC and SF especially have higher rent), but the situation isn't improving. It's one of the problems that comes with having such a high student population. We're hoping to move as soon as I'm done with my degree; we'd rather live somewhere less expensive and get a car.

@GoldenPenguin My baseball friends are obsessed with him and my less-fannish friends are obsessed with his bootay. I enjoy both the booty and the talent.

@CLoGreenEyes I live close to BC! There are some much more affordable areas near campus. Like I said, my cost of living wouldn't be so bad if I lived a little bit farther from public transit. As it is now, I'm a 2-3 minute walk from the train and a bus line.

LizzyTish88

@Phira I "hear" the south shore is very nice...

LizzyTish88

And @Phira and @GoldenPenguin since you're talking about the Sox, how about Jenny Dell and Middlebrooks? I am so intrigued by how that whole thing started! "So Will, that was a great game, how about that (crazy play)?" "Yeah it was nuts, do you want to go out sometime?"

That's, like, the classiest way that could have possibly gone down. I'm a little disappointed by the kinds of rumors I've heard over the years every time there's a new, attractive Sox correspondent. Back when Hazel Mae was still reporting for the Sox, I heard a rumor she was sleeping with Tito.

Our apartment is 480 a month and we have a 2 BR and 1 Bathroom. We also have a little deck that we can sit and drink coffee. We are surrounded by trees and we live on a quite street. But we live in a low cost area so those rents sound super scary.

I would be a happy girl if I had a $480/month rent for our 2 BR 1 BA apartment!

I don't think you can even rent a room in an apartment for that little around here! 

I need to move.

wow you can't get anything for even remotely that price here. NJ is really expensive

[Deleted User]

Yea that's extremely cheap...even for Georgia which has fairly low housing costs.

Wow! I wish! Our current 2/2 is $1250 per month, but the market rate on it sky rocketed over the past year to $1450 per month. We're moving to a 1/1.5 for $1350 per month. We live in the 'burbs too.
