Dear Elvis,

I cannot wait for you to get here! You cost an arm and a leg, but you will make our work SO much easier. I promise to love you and hug you and take excellent care of you until you're super ancient.

Lots of love,
Yo Mama!

Dear Q,

OUR COMPUTER COMES TODAY!!!! ELVIS IS ON THE TRUCK! I'm so flipping excited. Please can I edit on it first?! Why do I have a feeling it won't be long before Elvis gets a sister?

All the loves,

Dear DD's,

You sneaky, sneaky little girls. I'm not sure how you managed to clean up the entire upstairs in an HOUR, but you did. I'll find where you put all of that junk, I promise you. And then you'll be grounded again. Enjoy your freedom, while it lasts...

Love,

Dear @LaPeanut1018 - I'm SO excited for you!!!! I hope you have the best day EVER.

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

Dear @GoldenPenguin - Tomorrow we'll be exactly 7 months before your wedding!!! I think/hope/fear that time is going to fly by!

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

Dear @Buddysmom80 - Less than TWO MONTHS until your wedding day. My hotel room is booked and am sooooooo excited!

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

Dear FI,

I think I love you more every day. I especially love going out with you in big groups of friends, because I always wind up thinking about how lucky I am that YOU'RE with ME, while many of our other friends are trying to figure out who to flirt with/talk to/go home with. I'm also about 10,000x more confident with you by my side. We're such a great team, and I cannot wait for you to be my husband.

XOXOXO,

Your favorite person in the world.

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

Dear little sister,

You drive me crazy. Saying "Congratulations.... I think?" when you remind me you just had your 2-year anniversary with your BF is a PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE when you've been telling me for weeks that you were planning on breaking up with him after your anniversary. You do not get to tell me alll about how you want to break up with him, and then get mad at me if I refer to those conversations in the slightest way. Let me remind you, I have NO PROBLEM with your boyfriend whatsoever, I do, however, have a problem with you expecting me to act like your relationship is wonderful when you constantly tell me you're ready to end it. You can't have it both ways with me, kid.

Sincerely,

Your older, wiser sister who is tired of you flipping your shit whenever I don't respond to something exactly how you want me to.

Dear period,

Why? Why must you make me so miserable? What did I ever do to you...other than not get pregnant?  Thank God you only come once every 3 months.

Dear FI,

Kind of frustrated at your seemingly compulsive need to record > 15 hours of TV programming on that tiny DVR every week. (It's seven years old, it has no hard drive space). Well, at this rate, my Netflix queue will be very short and I will be well-versed in the "30 for 30" documentaries.

Love,

FI

P.S. Will you please call the asbestos guys again? I've never met a business that seemingly wanted money less. Also call the reception venue and schedule tasting. Hey, you have time off and I don't.

Dear Photographer,

You're on my last nerve, buddy. Give me my e-pics. NOW.

No love,

Ollie08

@GoldenPenguin - Seriously? No e-pics?! Did he answer you at all?

AlPacina

Dear doggy,

I've always known you're not the brightest. But the fact that I let you stare at that moving Halloween decoration for about two straight minutes this morning, and then you finally decide it's a valid threat that needs to be barked at? ...... Let's just say I'm not saving up for a doggy Harvard tuition. But thank you for the laughs.

Also, I love you more than dad. Even though we can both call you at the same time and you always go to him, I know you love me more too.

Love,
Fur Mama

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

Dear BF,

We've been talking about our eventual wedding a lot lately. I know this is mostly brought on by your brother's intent to propose to his GF, but we're a cuter/better matched/closer couple, so I think we should beat them to it! Just saying.

And when you bring me my ring when I forget it next to the sink, stop kneeling down and putting it on my left hand. You're kind of a dick for doing that.

You're not helping me be patient,
Your Luva

KeptInStitches

@goldenpenguin - no e-pics? I feel like I should know this, but when were you supposed to have them by?

Thank you for confirming what I was already thinking... that even though this infertility thing sucks, DH and I are handling it well and treating each other with respect and compassion. Our marriage is in much better shape for having gone through all this crap.

Dear Doggie,

Ok, I get barking at motorcyles outside, I get barking at other dogs (especially dogs running) outside, I get barking at skateboarders but, for the LOVE OF GOD, stop barking at joggers, bikers and the leaves falling when all else fails. We live on a Lake path and I'm never going to get peace and quiet again. I think four time-outs yesterday in the space of two hours is a record.

One month to Cancun...eeek. Keep working out and hopefully we can squeeze into a bikini.  If not, well, here is hoping we can find a good coverup.

phira

Dear students,

I am seriously fucking disappointed in how badly discussion is going this week. I emailed you saying, "Be prepared to tell me the goal of the paper, and the goal and conclusion of each figure." So when no one raised their hand when I asked ANY of those questions ... well, good fucking job.

----------

Dear birdo,

I'm sorry we haven't been home a lot. I promise, you'll get us for a whole two weeks soon enough! Hang in there!

----------

Dear coworker,

Your daughter is adorable, and I understand that daycare is a mess right now, since you're moving in a few weeks and can't afford the whole-year fee. But when you bring your daughter with you to the lab, she keeps me from getting any work done. Like, at all. Please find a way to distract her.

----------

Dear @LaPeanut1018,

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

GoldenPenguin

@keptinstitches - They were taken on Sept. 21. I emailed him on Sept. 26 for an estimated date. He said the next week. I emailed him again last Friday & he said they were actually all set & uploading, but that he wouldn't be back at a computer to send me the link until Monday. It's now Wednesday, and he's posted two other shoots to his website. 

These pictures had better be fucking fantastic.

I wouldn't be as anxious if other things weren't depending on these pictures. I need to get a wedding website done, and I need to get the save the dates designed, ordered, and printed - and I can't do these things without those pictures. 

Peaseblossom55

@lapeanut1018 omg 3 days I'm so excited for you!!!!!

KeptInStitches

@goldenpenguin - ridiculous. I'm sorry he's stringing you along.

eilis1228

Dear Photographer,

It's making me really effing nervous that you haven't responded to the email I sent a week ago. I know that you are crazy busy this time of year, but an acknowledgement of the email would be great. Be prepared for a phone call this afternoon if I still have not received some sort of response from you... 

Dear Boss,

You are seriously the best boss ever. Convincing me to get a doctor's note today excusing me from working in the office next week while new carpets are installed was genius. I love that you care about your employees that much. You totally deserve the cookies we're having delivered tomorrow and the lunch we're treating you to Friday for Boss's Week. 

PS: I know your daughter is an ER nurse in the network of hospitals where the ebola is, but don't worry! I promise she will be OK! 

Dear Work,

WHYYYYY did we schedule new carpet installation next week? We shut down the office completely between Christmas and NY... wouldn't it have made more sense to do the renovations then? 

Dear Expensive Photo Booth Vendor,

I really really really REALLY want to book you, but I'm having a really hard time justifying the expense. You're super personable, have great customer service, and a really high quality product, but you are at least $300 more than any other vendor out there. I am so torn!

PS: Why are so many other photo booth vendors offering discounts on the remaining 2015 dates? Why the hell do wedding vendors book so quickly so far in advance? That is seriously messed up.

Dear FI,

At some point, our jobs will calm down and we'll both work normal hours. Also, we will definitely beef up your resume and start looking for non-contract work soon. I'm sorry that you are so stressed about work right now. I really wish there were something I could do to help.  

PS: It's really sexy and awesome when you nerd out over creating WR spreadsheets. I love how excited you are about this. 

PPS: NO, WE ARE NOT SERVING CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AT THE RECEPTION!

Oh, one more:

Dear mom,

I know you're in a tiff with your friends over last month's bridal shower disaster. 

First of all, I am so freaking glad that was not my bridal shower that ended with some of you not speaking to others. 

Second, I am SO not going to throw a fit over whether your friends get together and throw me a bridal shower or not because this argument is not my circus, not my monkeys (and I don't "deserve" a bridal shower because I'm getting married, you know?). 

Third, it's kind of unhandy that you're now fighting with my hair stylist/potential MUA. At the risk of sounding horrible, can we come up with a plan B in case you guys are fighting and I can't use her? Let's pick out a simple style we can do for my MOH, pin the accessory flower thing in my hair a few times for practice, and get me new blush that doesn't have glitter in it (FI has a phobia).

Mom, I love you, and I'm sad you're fighting with your friends. I'll say they're not entirely right, but neither are you on all the things you're mad about. Please, please, sort this out one way or another.

Love,

Stitches

P.S. I mention the MOH hair style only because it's one thing she was really looking forward to - having her hair done up. I want to keep some part of that for her.

Dear Co-workers,

I know this is an unsettling time and it's tempting to spread rumors and gossip about all these potential layoffs. I get it! The thing is - none of us actually know what's going to happen and we aren't making it any easier by talking about it all.the.time. Can we please take a break and just work?

Dear Photographer,

Now that I called you... I feel bad for worrying. I'm sorry your 9-month-old son has been sick with a really high-grade fever during your busiest season. Thanks for being so reassuring and awesome. Also, I'm now a little overwhelmed that we may do part 1 of the engagement photos within the next week or two. Must get back on diet, live at gym, and find props ASAP. Eeeeeek!

Dear FI,

I love you lots and lots even though you got me sick 2 days before we go away for the weekend. Sorry I was such a crabbypants last night. Make up for it with a fun weekend in NYC? Yes? Okay, yes.
