Not Engaged Yet

Open Letter Wednesday

Dear bf,
 I'm sorry I don't really care about my birthday this year. I have no plans, no nothing. I'm working. That's my plan. If you want to do something for me, awesome, if not, that's fine too. I'm serious, I'm not just saying it so you will go all out
. Love, Gf that just wants peace and quiet
 
Dear professor,
 Thank you for realizing I busted my ass on that presentation. I knew we didn't fare so well on the paper. Thank for for acknowledging my hard work.

Grateful for another semester down
 
Dear weather,
Clear up already. It was supposed to be 7080 and sunny. What happened?

Over the gray days

Dear Dentist,

I still hate you. But I will pay you and get the procedures done. But I still don't like you.

Hating having to fork out $800+

Dear Sister,

Figure your stuff out. I know you are having issues, but this has gone on all semester. Mom has fed into your problems, and given you a way out - and it's just gotten worse. I'm NOT taking you on vacation with me if you're going to be whiny/mopey/anxious the whole damn time.
I really do love you, but I want my fun sister back, please and thank you.

Love,
Sister who wants to enjoy her vacation

    Dear self-hating woman coworker,

    No, the world would not be a better place if there were more men in power. No, men should not be the heads of household in every household. There's this thing called equality, and sorry, but that's where we're heading. Male chauvinism and misogyny? No, those are bad things. Baaaad things. Get your lips off of your husband's ass and open your eyes to the world.

    Sincerely,

    Feminist who can manage her own life without her love controlling everything.

    PS: Despite what your husband said, if you go out on the town with female friends, you will not be raped in downtown Nashville.

    PPS: Also, I don't have to ask Tyler's PERMISSION for SH*T, despite what you think.. I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions, tyvm.

  • Dear BF,

    I love you to pieces, and I know that right now things aren't great with everything going on, but I really need you to work with me right now.  Because no matter how much you want me to keep it together, I may end up punching someone in the face.

    Love,
    Super Stressed GF

    Dear Bug,

    I miss you so much.  Please come back from Boston soon.

    Dear body,
    Just because the dress fit doesn't mean we don't need to keep up the good work.  We still have work to do if we want to sit and breathe in the gown simulatenously and we DEFINITELY need to clean up that back and arms!!  Get paddling!!

    Love,

    Dear SUP boards,
    Please be less expensive.  I really want to buy one of you but I can't justify spending $1000 rightthisverysecond because of the wedding.

  • Dear BF-

    You are an amazing guy and I'm so lucky to have you in my life.  Please don't let your ex stress you out, she's doing it for no other reason than to upset you.  Take a deep breath, and think of it as a problem to be dealt with, nothing more.  I'm here for you any time.

    Dear BF,

    I'm 35. You are 37. Our new place is on the second floor, up a gigantic winding staircase. We own approximately 900 books. I know you're manly and rawr, but could we pleeeease hire movers this time? I'm too old for this shiit, and it would be worth the $200 or whatever. It's not like we're broke college kids anymore. This is why we have jobs - to pay other people to do stuff for us.

    Love,
