Did you mean OLW? Cute misspelling!

Dear stomach,

Wow, that's not a fun reaction to the new supplements. I guess I'll be eating a little more in the mornings when I take you!

Dear Stomach,

WHy are you hurting so much this morning? I don't like having to take multiple bathroom trips within the hour.

This sucks!

Dear H,

I can't wait for you bday in a couple weeks! I have the best plan eva!

Dear LaHo,

It makes me so happy that you enjoyed your shower! I hope that your friends had fun too! I can't wait to start planning your bachelorette! It's going to be a blast!

Dear Maddux,

Mommy loves you but you need to stop playing with the bells on the door. Those are specifically for you to let us know you need to go Potty not for you to jingle whenever you walk past and make us think you need to go instead of just going outside and eating sticks....

Dear FI,

I love you sooooooo much and I'm mad at myself for letting you see how stressed I am about your job. On one hand I know that I have every right to be worried out about your job security, but on the other you have been nothing but confident and supportive of me whenever I had job struggles, and I want to be that way for you. 

I'm worried about you. I know how upset you are about things being so unstable at your job, and I'm sad about it for you too. However, you're wrong about one thing. You did not "get lucky" with this job - you have worked hard for them and every raise you've gotten has been earned. You are a valuable employee and will be a valuable employee elsewhere too. I need you to be confident in your abilities, because I know you will be successful wherever you go. 

It sucks that you have to put in the effort to find something new when you're happy and doing well in your position, but I think it's for the best. I'll help you in any way I can, just say the word.

Love,

ME

Dear Body,

Can you just like, spontaneously lose 3lbs? I've been stuck at the same weight for what feels like FOR-EV-ER, despite being really careful about what I'm eating, and trying to move more every day. It is really frustrating and I'm sick of being disappointed every time I step on the scale. You have until 5pm today to make the requested change. THANKS.

Pretty please?

Dear Body,

Holy shit this whole moving thing is exhausting. How did I do this so often in college? And why do I hurt all over from lugging boxes up a flight of stairs? I'm in good shape... what gives?

Dear FI,

Why are you an insomniac this week? I'm going to have to slip Benadryl into your Gatorade if you don't sleep tonight... this is the worst week ever for you to not get enough rest. Working 9-10 hour days and then moving stuff after work is exhausting. Your body is seriously weird.

All the love,

Dear Brother-in-law,

I have known you for 13 years. I  enjoyed your presence for a majority of that time. This year I noticed you were becoming a real jerk. I was polite. I didn't say anything about how you were treating my family and sister. Then, you decide to tell my sister (your wife of ten years) that you don't love her anymore. She followed you all around the world for your career. She took care of your two beautiful kids while you were serving over seas. She is an amazing woman, and you hurt her. You better brace yourself, sir. You have officially unleashed the beast that is sibling love. 

Love,

Your Soon To Be Ex Sister-in-law and a Giant Pain In Your Ass!

Dear house,

Wow, Monday night's storm was not-fun to weather. Thank you for not being too damaged - siding and shingles are all fine, shed and garage are fine, and only a little water in the back room again. With 4"+ of rain and 3" of that falling in < 2 hours ... that's pretty damn amazing. And 75+ mph winds. And I wouldn't rule out any little spin-up circulations in town, either.

Love,

Grateful homeowner

Dear dad,

If you have unlimited time, energy, and money to fix that room, be my guest. Otherwise let us just paint the floor, destroy the tack strip, and put down a throw rug.

Love,

Dear FI,

Stone obsidian or earth brown? And what color vinyl do you want to use to cover what's left of the tack strip? After we get out of your apartment ... work tonight when I'm not there, ok?

Dear DH,

I love you so much, and I'm so proud of all you have accomplished professionally.  I hope this new potential opportunity works out.  You deserve an opportunity to showcase all of your skills and hard work.  We've been through so much together.  It's been such a crazy few years, but there is no one I'd rather walk this crazy journey with than you.

@justbeingme93 I'm really worried about that BIL letter.  If I ever have to write that, it's going to be a smackdown.

Dear Married at First Sight,

Holy crap I am addicted.  But I think Jamie is an a-hole.  I'm sure they'll end up together since I don't like her and I always pick the wrong people.

-WHY AM I ADDICTED TO THIS AWFUL SHOW??

Dear Interviewer,

CAN YOU PLEASE LOVE ME TOMORROW?!  You are my last shot at teaching math in the fall and I'm kinda freaking out.

-OMG I NEED VIBES

Dear caps lock,

I love you today.

-Sorry I'm not sorry

Dear customers this evening,

You better be nice to me.  Kthx.

-This goes to managers too (please be my favorite one?!)

Dear @southernpeach89,

Why can't @LaPeanut1018's be in Orlando?  I mean, I'll already be there...and well duh, we could go to Harry Potter world!  Or Disney Princess castle?  Or there's actually some decent food downtown!

-Not looking forward to a 7.5 hour drive after going to my bro's wedding

Dear @ollie08,

If your kiddos ever need math tutoring, I'm your girl

-Obviously I'm looking to branch out from my retail job (plus, I'm actually BETTER at math than retail, shockingly)

@Blue & White good luck at the job interview. Sending you good vibes!!

@Blue&amp;White I know! Maybe @LaPeanut1018 can convince her friends to go to Orlando instead lol.

@southernpeach89 @Blue & White - It's hard enough to convince my friends to just respond to a simple email! I don't even know what it would take to get them to talk seriously about Orlando.

Dear Awesome Aunt,

I love how excited you are for my wedding, and I love that you're working out a discount for me with a baker you know. You kick so much ass, and I know you're going to be the life of the party at the reception. 

SO MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION!

Dear Self,

The retirement party at work was fun. Lots of great breakfast foods. That was your cheat meal for the week though. I don't care how tempting it is to eat poorly this weekend, DON'T DO IT! The cinnamon roll, ham & cheese croissant, and mini blueberry muffin are all you're allowed to splurge on this week. And they were so worth it. But yes, self control and discipline from now on! We haz it!

Love,

Self

@cu97tiger - I definitely know how you feel. My dog sleeps in his crate through the night, but if I want to sleep in it's pretty much impossible if he's awake. Labs are sweet, but man are they energetic!

@Blue & White - Sending good vibes your way!

Screw you. I don't need you. I have barely thought about you since deciding to give you up. If only you'd leave my boyfriend alone, I'd be able to move on completely.

Dear office coffee,

You taste awful. I normally wouldn't touch you, but not having my morning smoke is throwing some things out of whack, and I really need you to start kicking in soon.

Dear BF,

I know your job sucks. Just remember that everyone loves you and wants to have you around. We all have to work for shitty bosses at some point in our lives. Drink to relax, but please don't move onto "drinking to feel better", because I've had to deal with that before and it leads to bad things. Instead, feel free to ask me for a back rub.

- XOXO

 

Dear lady at the doggy daycare,

Either you like my dog or you don't. Either you treat him the way you treat every other dog, or I take my money somewhere else. If it weren't for the rest of the awesome staff, I'd be done with you already. Unfortunately, Marv is a psycho and I need him to have an outlet for his energy. So I'm not giving up yet.

I wish I had been ruder to you yesterday. I tend to let people walk all over me because I avoid face to face confrontation like the plague. Considering how polite I was, I still think I got my point across. My dog rocks, and you suck. But that's why I deserve to be his mama and not you.

Blue & White 

Yeah, I am not particularly happy about writing that. It is completely out of the blue. I don't think my sister had even a hint about his feelings (or lack there of). I am pretty pissed. My niece and nephew are about to have their world flipped upside down, and I can't do anything to stop it. 

Also, I am totally addicted to Married at First Sight too! I agree Jamie is horrible, but they aren't exactly a match made in Heaven. I don't know why the "experts" put them together.

Dear BF,

THANK YOU for finally agreeing to ten days in Disney/Universal. I am SO looking forward to this trip and I know that I am going to be going crazy planning but hey, I need something to look forward to! I am going to try to make sure we have the best time ever. Love you so much!

Dear self,

Kick into high gear! No more sitting around and waiting for your body to change because it isn't going to happen!!! You have to work your ass off so that you can sport a super cute bathing suit in Disney! It will make everything else easier too. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Dear C,

Dammit, whyyyyyyyyyyyy did you not make the effort you're making now while we were still together? As many interesting people as I've met over the past several months, you're still by far the most interesting and compelling, and I know you've got a heart of gold. So whyyyy did you waste all that time putting minimal work into our relationship? You keep saying you regret it and that you're learning from it, and I can see that you've made some good changes in your life. But I don't know how I could ever trust you again after everything, and that really sucks.

@twodimes (et al) This interview is for a high school level math position (I'm not sure what level of math because it's not in the job posting, as usual.  I would assume algebra I because they are typically the more problem classes and veterans don't usually scoop them up as quickly?  I actually love being the first class in the series, so I can't complain).  It's at a pretty rough magnet school for math/science so I'm not really sure about the vibe. 

@clogreeneyes I think you need hugs!!  Also I never give blood because of the fainting thing (plus I had a billion other excuses like not weighing enough, being on antibiotics (is that even a real excuse?!) etc)  so needless to say I'm really proud of you because I don't know that I'd be able to do it.
