Open Letter Wednesday

IrishDreamer

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.

Love,
Your BFF

Dear airfares,
Please magically come down on your tickets from Lihue to Denver so our friends can fly out and we can all go see MMJ and BOH play at Red Rock in August.  NOW!!!

Sincerely,
Girl who wouldn't spend $1000 per person on that ticket either


Dear wedding dress,
I'm so glad you fit!!  You and I are gonna be good friends!!

Love,
B-RIDE who was stressing over the gown


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,
Your boss


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. 

Sincerely,
Girl who doesn't wanna jiggle on her wedding day

Dear BF,

Sorry I was a crabby pants this morning. I'm just jealous that you and my BFF get to hang out in my house for a week while i'm stuck at work. You've worked your butt off for 2 years and totally deserve the break...but i'm still jealous. Forgive me?

xoxo,
Megs

Dear BFF,

You can't imagine the relief I feel every time I see you! You made it through open-heart surgery...and you're still as positive and happy as ever. I can't even imagine losing you in my life. You are an inspiration!

You know I love you,
Megs

Dear Lunar,

I'm so excited to see you Saturday! I just know i'm going to enjoy meeting all of your meet-up ladies. I wish we lived A LOT closer to each other.

Hugs!

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.

Love,
Me

Dear BF's ex-

You are BSC!  Get a life and a hobby aside from trying to make BF miserable. 

Love,
Me

Dear IrishDreamer-

I am in the GR area too, and have a big WTF for the weather?  Doing my hair this morning was a collossal waste of time.  Ick.

Nice to 'meet' you!

I'm actually in the Kzoo area. But yeah. Walked out my front door - POURING. Completely drenched. Straight hair went back to poofy/curly immediately. Get to the office? Fine. Nothing.
*headdesk* over it.
Nice to meet you too :)

I'm in Kzoo too!

Dear BF,

I know I was cranky that you woke me up early on my day off, but it turned out okay. Now I get to enjoy a super long day to myself, and it will give me time to clear the DVR. So, thank you.

Love,

Your nocturnal girlfriend

Or karaoke... or better...both! LOL. Sorry, I have no one left in town that goes with me :-P
But seriously. Drinks. Schedule. :)

Dear BF,
 I love you, but that doesn't mean I love your single, immature, 21 yo brothers or want to spend every weekend night drinking with them. Just saying.

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,

Lazypants GF

Haha. Maybe someday. I'm really, really shy, so maybe after I've been around another few months. Please don't take that personally. It takes me a long time to get comfy with new people.

Dear FI,

I am very excited to see you on Friday. CANNOT wait. But, can you please PLEASE stop looking for an apartment without me? I get that we're in a bit of a rush to find one, but I really would like to help find with you. If you find a good deal, then it's find to send me pictures I suppose. I just wish I could be home looking for one with you.

Dear Ring,

I just talked to the jeweler yesterday and found out you will be delivered this week.  We only ordered you about a week and a half ago, and I wasn't even sure you were being worked on yet.  Now, I have to put on a patience shroud because pants will not be enough!  Also, I am excited to see you when the time comes!

Cordially,

Dear potential employers,

I can't pay my bills working 5 hours a week, so while I am delighted to have a new part time gig, I still need to hear from at least one of you.  Let's start with that phone interview tomorrow.  Give a sector switcher a chance for a real-in-person-interview-mmmkay.  

Thanks in advance,

Dear legit celebrity who was supposed to come to my town tonight,

Way to bail six hours beforehand & wreck my schedule. For once, I'm annoyed to have the night off. Also, way to wreck my first experiment with reader-submitted interview questions.

Also, just because I can't resist an ad hominem attack, a coworker & I decided you are Fat Elvis.

No love,

journalist who was supposed to be covering your appearance

Dear said coworker,

Thanks for your bizarre attempt to cheer me up with a small finger puppet of said celebrity. You get a bad rap, but I have nothing but love for you.

Fist bump,

Dear TV audiences throughout my region,

Please do not turn on the NBC station at 6:30 a.m. this Saturday & Sunday. And if you do, just mute me so you can focus on how great I look sitting behind the anchor desk, not on how dumb I sound. Failing that, please do not call me angrily on Monday to tell me how dumb I sounded.

Thanks a bunch,

being on the news sometimes is fun, but Diane Sawyer I am not
