Open Letter Wednesday

IrishDreamer

Dear cold/cankersore

Please go the eff away. I'm tired of being in pain, tired of not being able to sleep, and tired of not having feeling in that side of my face because of the numbing medication I put on you. SOOO kindly gtfo K? Thanx bai

Sincerely
An irritated I can't eat all the foods I want, me

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

Dear BF's Gma,

You are a horrible person. Terrible. Awful. Mean. Nasty individual. How you can say those types of things to someone who is so fantastic and has done so much to try and help you??? Shame on you. I can't believe you made her cry. I don't wish bad things on people, but if i did... you would be one of them.

Sincerely,
Doesn't like seeing FMIL cry.

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

Dear Christmas,

Be here already, k?? I'm tired of hearing my mom and BF and Gma go back and forth on who got me the better gift. I hate surprises and the fact that I have ZERO clue on what they are getting me... yeah, not working so well for me. Plus, I want to see BF's mom's face when she opens her gift

Love,
An impatient Irish

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

Dear Work,

Be over for the week, pleaaaaaase?? It is quiet (which is nice), but K and I are bored silly because we are efficient, and even when we try to make things take longer...it doesn't necessarily work.

Sincerely,
Ready for a week's break

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

Dear BF's Aunt,

Don't be a twunt on Christmas Eve, K?? I'm so not in the mood for your BS.

Sincerely,
Tired of all the Drama

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

Dear BF's Uncle,

Same goes for you. You already ignore me as I have told you to stop calling me different girl's names... Which is fine. But if you bother K or T or T - I will stomp your twunt assss into the floor. They are awesome, and deserve to enjoy their Christmas Eve with Uncle C. K? Thanx bai

Sincerely,
Can we get through one Christmas, Drama Free??

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

Dear NEY,

I love you ladies. I hope you all have a fantastic, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. If some of you get a drunk text from me on NYE - remind me about it later lol.

Love

Dear mice/rats in the attic/walls,

I really really really want you to eat the poison already and die.  I'm going to get agita if we leave for home and you're still alive.  I really don't want to let you have the house to yourselves for a WEEK.  So please, have a Merry Christmas in mice/rat heaven.  Kthx.

Dear Sister,

While I appreciate you wanting to get me the perfect Christmas gift, you really didn't have to tell me what it was before I open it.  Thanks for ruining the surprise, but NO, I'm not telling you what yours is

-Mildly Annoyed Big Sister


Dear NEYers,

I hope you all have excellent holidays with family and friends!  And that you all eat lots of cookies   And happy new year tooo!

Haha, she was literally at Joann's and said "well I think I'm getting you a Joanns GC"

Slacker, little sister :)  Oh, but her gift?  Is awesome.  But since she's slightly wedding obsessed, I can't reveal it on the boards just in case :)

Dear sore throat,

This only-getting-5-hours-of-sleep business is bogus and getting old.  Just go away, so I can help my mother clean her house before the relatives get here.

Thanks,

Dear FI's work,

It's not okay that in the summer you give him one 4-hour shift a week, and then in the winter you give him 10-hour shifts every day, and it's even LESS okay that you scheduled him for the day before Christmas, the day after Christmas, and NYE.  Spread the awful shifts around instead of making one person do them all.

Thanks,

Dear Irish,

You've been FBed.  I also, for god knows what reason, sent my number originally to CSousa...  not because I don't love you, and not because I don't love her, but  because it's early, I didn't sleep well, and I need to kick my cat off my lap so I can go get my first cup of coffee,

Love,

Dear FI, 

I hate that there's been so much tension between us about Christmas.  Hopefully everything works out & the day is as stress-free as possible.  I love you.

Dear Dr. G,

I would REALLY appreciate it if you could call me today & tell my biopsy is A-OK so I don't have to worry anymore.  It's too close to Christmas for this!

Dear Coworker Next To Me,

You are an adult.  In your 50s.  How the hell do you think it's ok to eat like a damn cow & slurp down your entire drink all day every single day.  I'm seriously :::this close:::: to completely losing it.  You're disgusting.  Learn how to eat.

Stupid TK ate my post but it said something like:

haha Dear Old wants FI and I to get married by a priest.
My dad isn't even a practicing Catholic, he just thinks its important based on tradition I guess? He said he understands my rationale, and he is more agnostic than a man of faith, but his argument for a priest conducting the ceremony is,"What if there is a god, and his ONE wish for all of us is this sacrament? What then??" Basically, HE just really wants it.
The other part is that FI was not raised Catholic, not for a minute. And I was, so by default I am Catholic. But not by choice or belief. 

And thank you for asking.

Dear Thunderstorms,
Please don't get bad. After April's tornados, I'm thoroughly over you. I don't feel like having an anxiety attack today.
Sincerely,
More scared than I'll admit

Dear FI,
Realize that this Christmas is hard on me. I need your support, not your nagging.
Love,
Stressed to the max

Dear Life,
Can I get just a little tiny break? Just one thing that goes right. I'll shut up for six months if I can just get one thing. Anything.
Yours Truly,
Still stressed.

Dear NEYers,
Thanks for welcoming me to the board! I look forward to coming on here everyday, and I hope to get to know all of you better! It's been a rough year, and it's really rough right now, but I always feel better after getting on here. I hope you all have very very happy holidays, and have amazing downtime before the new year. Everyone be careful on your travels!
Many hugs,
Nyc.

My Grand units are die hard southern baptist.... which in my opinion can be as hardcore as Catholics can be. (Not saying catholics are...just some can be).
Plus also, Catholic ceremony's are looooooooooong. LOL.
I suppose I understand his logic...doesn't mean i agree with it. Wouldn't it be awkward for your FI?? Especially if he wasn't raised Catholic?

Posted by IrishDreamer[/QUOTE]

I concur, some can be hardcore, like a lot of my extended family...

Well a Catholic mass is out of the question. We are not getting married in a church. FI is not converting (No one has asked him to either). Plus we have the venue reserved for a 30 minute or less ceremony. That is how it will be. My dad just wants a priest to conduct the ceremony on site.

And yes, apparently it would be awkward for FI. He pointed out on the ride home from dinner last night, that none of this has anything to do with us and our life together. So why would we bring it up on our wedding day? I think it will take time, but my dad will have to come around to the fact that neither FI nor I are comfortable with a religious ceremony.

Dear big-sis,
I know you think you're right all the time, that you're super opinionated about everything and that you feel that everyone wants to screw you over, but that's not always the case. I feel like most of the stress in your life is self-inflicted. Also, calling me and b!tching me out for stuff that isn't true before asking me really doesn't make me want to hang out. Please stop.
Kthx.

Dear Psychology Professor,

Why the f*ck did you not tell anyone that we didn't have class today? You suck. I had to wake up early, drive 40 min, walk for 15 min in the rain just to make it to your class and only one other girl was there. Wtf is your hybrid class about anyway? Next time please send me an email so that I don't go to a class that doesn't exist. K? Thanks.

Dear FMIL,

You're a good person and I do love you but you're annoying as hell. Stop manipulating FI to do things for you. I'd appreciate it. Also, maybe you should start driving and stop having people take you everywhere and then complain that they were late or had something else to do. And finally, I don't understand why you are so religious. It feels insincere.. start practicing what you preach instead of just preaching. K?

Sincerely,
