People be trippin' (Open Letter Wednesday)

cu97tiger

In other words, why are people so stubborn? I have a friend who is NEY. She and her BF have talked about getting engaged, and have even gone so far as to find out when the church they want to get married in is free for next year, and have gone to a couple venues to 'eat dinner' and check them out.

She keeps saying that since they want to get married in Sept/Oct 2012, and that he's in on it, it's ok for her to be looking at invitations, designing color schemes, etc. and it's driving me nuts.She gives me advice on a lot of my decisions, but every time it also turns into a discussion of what she's going to have and I want to scream STOP PRE-PLANNING.

So here are my open letters for today.

Dear MC,

STOP PRE-PLANNING. I promise you that you'll have enough time to plan everything when that ring is finally on your finger.

Love,

me

Dear email,

Please write yourself. I said I'd have it done 'this morning' which leaves me 23 minutes. Crap.

Hate,

me

-------

Dear T-giving weekend,

Please be relaxing and give me and FI some alone time to reconnect. These last two weeks have been NUTTY!

Love,

Girl who just wants to chill on the couch with the love of her life.

ETA: Correct year... 2012 not 2013.

Dear Today,
Please be 4pm soon so I can go home and start my long weekend already.
Signed,
Impatient and not in the working mood

Dear H,
Since you think it's fun to rub it in my face that you are only working a half day from home, the dishes better not be in the sink when I get home from my full day at the office. 
Love,
Your wife who dirtied those dishes to cook you dinner ;-p

Dear Family,

I know it's called Thanksgiving break but I have an insane amount of homework. A little piece and quite doesn't seem like too much to ask. Stop calling my name every 5 seconds and leave me alone so I can get something done!

love,
your college student who is at her maximum stress level

Dear work day,
I'm very excited to leave at 3 today, but you are taking to long to get to 3!!!!!
Impatiently,
Me

Dear BF,
Please propose soon. I really want to stop getting questions from our friends and family about when we are getting married, and the idea of a xmas full of these questions is too much to handle right now.
Love,
Your already stressed out GF

Dear self,
Get the F**** over it! BF will propose when he is good an ready. You will just have to get really good at bean dipping.
Sincerely,
your logical side

Wtoo Maria is better. But I might be just a little biased. :)

Dear FMIL, I'm glad you're interested in wedding plans and excited about them, but please stop making me feel like crap for not having planned every detail yet. The wedding is over 6 months away. I don't care if people are pressuring you for details; they can find out when/if they receive their invitations, just like everyone else. And please stop telling me I need to communicate more with my own mom. Believe me, I've tried. Sincerely, Your stressed, frustrated, ready-to-elope future daughter-in-law

<div>Ha, I have the opposite problem. FI is VERY hands off, rarely wants to hear about details and thinks that we have SO much time left to do everything.</div>

Dear nursing professor,

I'm on to you. How are SOME people being forced into doing this presentation and others are getting away without barely doing anything?

Pissed off,
Me



Dear sister,

Why are you being so petty with this whole wedding process? You are making yourself look immature. Some MOH you are.

Hurt,
Me

Yeah, my FI is like that too (he just has other things to worry about) but his mom... Ugh.

Dear I-25,

Please don't have bumper-to-bumper traffic tomorrow. I already don't feel like traveling for the holiday, so I'd appreciate the break. I mean, NO BREAKS!  **sigh**

Dear Baking God,

Please let my dinner rolls turn out tonight! I'm making this family recipe for the first time and I really want it to turn out right. If all the women in my family have been doing these rolls for the past 4 generations I should be able to handle them, right?

Dear BF,

Please cut out some time for just us this weekend. Our schedules have been way off lately and it's taking a toll on me. I really miss you!

Dear Family,

I hope you like what I made for Thanksgiving!! And I hope you have NO clue that it's healthy I also hope that we get through this Thanksgiving regardless of how sad we are that some people can't be with us. We have each other & need to remember that. 

Love,

Rachel

*****

Dear FI,

I can't believe this is our 5th Thanksgiving together!! Thank you for wanting to spend it with my family even though your mom is actually home for it this year. It really means a lot to me. 

Love,

Your FI

*****

Dear D,

Please get well. I hope you realize the decisions you've been making for yourself are causing you to literally throw your life away. I hope what happened last week was a serious wake-up call & you get the help you need at rehab & come out of it a new & better person. I'm always here for you no matter what. 

Love,

Your Big Cousin

Dear Person I have for SS,

The final gift I got for you arrived in the mail yesterday & I'm hoping to get it in the mail tonight!!! SQUEEEEEEEE! 

Love,

Rachel Claus

Dear Everyone in the Office except Peggie and I,

I hope leaving early was enjoyable for all of you. Must be nice to have two workhorses to sit around and answer the phone while you run off doing what we want to be doing was well.

No Love,
Irritated that I'm stuck here

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

Dear Main Office,

Let Peggie and I leave early. NO ONE IS CALLING!

Love,
I have baking to do

Dear Pie Crust,

YOU are my Everest.

Love,
Determined baker

Dear BF,

Just a head's up - I want a lot of sexy time this weekend. Be sure to hydrate.

Dear VP of my company,

You are way cooler than the CEO because you're nice to me, you actually have a sense of humor, you are a dead ringer for Howie Mandel and you're letting us go home two hours early so we can start off our 4 day weekend with happy smiles instead of grumblies about driving home in rush hour. I might reconsider going to your holiday party this month.

Love,
A grateful employee

Dear FMIL,

You know I work till 4:30. You know FI works til 5 and has a chiropractor appointment and won't be back until 6. Why do you have to show up at 3? I can't entertain you and work and it makes me feel awkward!

Please wait until we're off of work at least,
your overly shy FDIL

Dear Mom,

I've lived here for 7 years...how is it possible that you still can't get here without getting lost? Good thing I got you a GPS for Christmas.

Love,
Your Google-maps champion daughter

Dear Family and BF's family,
Please get along tomorrow. Let's all just stay away from politics and religion, and we should be juuuust fine.

Love,

Dear State Board of Nursing,
Please, please, please process my paperwork and get me my new liscense, or at least temporary permit so I can start my new job as planned, and not lose weeks of pay right before the holidays.

Love,
Annoyed future DE nurse

Dear BF's Aunt:

Suck it, ya real right b!tch. I'm over your BS, you aren't queen of the effing world, and you are a mean, nasty, terrible person. However, if it means that much to BF to spend time with his family, I will suck it up and deal with you, even though I will be silently stabbing you in my head.

Sincerely, 

irritated me

Dear Grand Units,

I'm severely disappointedI'  that you aren't coming up, but I understand. Just please go see the doctor and fix whatever the issue is. Otherwise then I will be reaaaaaaally pissed.

Love,

Dear I-81 and I-66,

Dear FMIL:

This is our wedding, you had yours and should have invited your crankpot neighbour then. Get off my back

Love: We should have eloped in Belise as intended.

Dear Bridezillas:

Yes I understand you want an appointment, yes I understand you want the perfect dress, yes I understand you need seven months to figure that out. But what you need to understand is that yelling at me, screaming, having a hissyfit, and then getting even angrier when my manager tells you that you are wrong isn't going to solve anything. Please check your attitude at the door, and stop making my job misreable.

sincerly:
I work on comission

Dear SYTTD:

Thank you for making my job look glamorous.

Love:
