Dear BF,

I cannot accurately express how glad I am that you aren't working an overnight this week. I love you madly and I am enjoying this re-honeymoon phase we're having right now :) Date night this weekend?

Love,
Me


Dear Kali,

HA! You don't get a night alone with me this week to terrorize me, keep me up, and let's not forget the pièce de résistance - POOP IN MY BED. I'm still not over it, and we are not friends again yet. I realize the barking and incessant energy is you being protective, but the expulsion of fecal matter in my sleeping area is just inexplicable and inexcusable. I do think I'm starting to soften, so we can probably be friends again this weekend. Maybe. 

I still love you anyway,  
Fur Mommy


Dear Kristine,

Responding NO to the evite for Lindsey's bachelorette 10 minutes after it went out, on top of the rest of your rude-ass behavior, is just the klassy icing on your crap-attitude cake. Trust me, we're all relieved you aren't coming. I hope you and your husband enjoy a boring night on the couch instead, soaking up each other's snobbery and homophobia.

P.S. You aren't a fvcking bride anymore - you haven't been for two years. Change your damn default picture, it's getting pathetic.

No Love,
Relieved party hostess


ETA:
Dear Aunt Flow,

^^^See how snarky you have made me this week?  Please chill.

    Dear parentals,

    I love you. You're sweet.  Please quit asking me if I'm wearing the new gift you got me. I actually started CRYING when talking about how I was going to end up hurting your feelings.  Don't make it worse for me. :(

    Love,
    Your eldest daughter


    Dear self,

    Get it together. You have homework to do.

    NOW!
    ZOMG, I have deadlines.

    Dear self, round 2,

    Is the jewelry that bad? Are you nuts? You're totally hurting your parents.

    Sincerely,
    conflicted

    Dear Boss,

    I know you keep telling me that I am probably going to check out mentally this week since i"m leaving on vacation, well HA you are only half right.  Still I'm getting my crap done!

    Sincerely,
    Is it Friday yet?

    Dear Maus,

    Oh my sweet puppy I will miss you so much when I"m gone that it made me sad this morning that I will be leaving you at home in the care of grandma for two weeks.  But I promise you I will get the biggest bully stick I can find to make up for it.

    Sincerely,
    Don't give me those puppy dog eyes

    Dear FI,

    OM GEE!  I can't wait to go to the Canary Islands this Friday.  I promise to SCUBA, surf, hike, bike, dance, swim my hearts content out along side you!  WOot woot!

    Love,
    Your FI who is so excited!

    Dear time of the month,

    Please hurry up and get here so I don't have to deal with you on my trip!

    Sincerely,
    Soon to be traveler

    Dear awkward guy in my program,

    I'm really sorry some of the people in the ensemble treat you like sh!t, it's really unprofessional, and I'm sure hurtful. I wish I knew what to do to help, without embarassing you by doing stepping in. You really are sweet, and seem to mean well, I just feel like your approach is a little off sometimes.

    Sincerely,
    Always rootin' for the underdog.



    Dear BF,

    I know that I haven't been around much lately with rehearsals, but please stop acting like a jerk. It's kinda making me want to be around even less, and go out with the rest of the cast after every rehearsal instead. I turn the invites down to hang out with you, and you're crabby every night when I get home.

    Love,
    your frustrated GF

    Dear BF,
    Thank you for carrying me home from the bar and holding me through my mini-meltdown concerning my upcoming 30th birthday, which is still 7 months away. You are the reason I'm sane. 

    Love,
    me.

    Dear Mast,

    I really did not appreciate the tone of your text last night.  I'm going to need you to text me sometime in the next week and tell me hi.  Because right now, I'm a little peeved with you.

    Best,
    Peek.

    Dear Self,

    Imma need you to pull it together.  You went three months without crying, and then last night you were a freaking trainwreck.  I realize that this state is not the best place, nor does it hold the best memories, but you have to remember that this is temporary.  You have to pull it together, get your grad school applications done, make your phone calls, and basically kick some asss until your internship.  And then you really need to step it up.  Also, those Christmas presents aren't going to make themselves.  So, moping around the house isn't going to help things. You are stronger than this.  No more ugly crying.  Got it?  Pull. It. Together.

    Love,
    Self

    Dear Vodka,

    Please never leave me.

    I am loving that we are growing in our relationship. Even if we experience growing pains in learning where we came from, it is for the better.

    Dear Mom,

    I haven't called you a lot lately because, truthfully, I'm avoiding talking to you so I don't tell you about this job possibility. Because when I tell you about one, you get excited, then I get excited, and then I don't get hired, and then we're both disappointed.

    Hopefully I'll have good news soon.
    Love,
    Your oldest daughter

    Dear BF,

    I miss you & your job sucks sometimes.

    I love you bunches.

    [QUOTE]Dear FI,  CHILL OUT WITH THE WEDDING PLANNING.  I agreed to have a long engagement so that we would have time to focus on other things for a while.  We don't need to book a DJ, photographer, and figure out our floral design yet.  And stop being so mean about something I want to do that doesn't involve you at all.  Your unsupportive attittude is ugly and makes me not want to be around you.   Angry, angry FI. -- Dear Grad school,  I'm over you.  I just want a job in this field.  Now.  Ugh. Stressed out grad student. -- <strong>Dear FSIL,  The contents of your registry make me want to scream.  You have THOUSANDS of dollars in china (which has all been purchased !??!?!).  Ugh.  Now I'm dreading your shower even more because I'm sure I'll be the only one that doesn't buy you a gift worth hundreds of dollars.  (Or even $100.) Sometimes I really don't get your family and their constant focus on money.  Sigh.  </strong>

    Dear Self,

    Get your @ss to the grocery store tonight and get more whole foods and less packaged "healthy" stuff like you have been planning.  Do it.  And then go home and cook a delicious and healthy dinner too.  Don't forget to get stuff for BF's house too, because lord knows he isn't going to the store anytime soon!

    Love,
    I want us to be healthier already!


    Dear BF,

    Please stop being moddy, I know that you are overworked and exhausted and your job sucks, but it's a means to an end.  You are working to get into medic school and be done with working so much and having such a stressful job.  Focus on the light at the end of the tunnel, please...it will make you happier, and in return I will be happier too. 

    Love,
    Gf who just wants you to be as happy as possible


    Dear BF's Dog,

    Please get better.   You are so sad looking and I want the sweet little doggy back.  I'll even let you give me face "kisses" with your nasty dog breath if you would jsut get better already. 

    Love,
    Your psuedo step-mommy


    Dear Bestie,

    I am not pleased with you forgetting about our plans this week because you "have to much going on".  You are a stay at home mom, who has one todddler, and you are constantly posting on facebook about how you don't know what to do for the day...that does not equal busy.  Try working fulltime, going to school fulltime and having a nearly 5 year old who doesn't nap, wakes up at the @ss crack of dawn and would stay up until I'm ready for bed myself, if I let him.  I'm done putting forth effort to squeeze you into my tiny window of free time, if you want to hang out and catch up then figure out a time.

    Love,
    Your Bestie who feels far from it as of late.


    Dear Aunt Flow,

    Are you sneaking up on me a little early?  I am feeling awfully snarky today!   Why can't you just be normal and come on "schedule".  I am over this could be anywhere from 3-6 weeks from the last "visit" B.S.  Get your shiit together already!

    No Love,
    I actually like surprises, but not of this nature

    Dear NEY,

    Thanks for being awesome.

    Love, Elle.



    Mother,

    I think I've finally figured you out.  You're just selfish.  I'm right, right?  I can't believe it took me this long to notice.

    Your only daughter.



    Dear Self,

    Please figure out how to ask for what you want.  You'll probably be happier that way.

    Love,

    Dear BF,
     I'm sorry my job sucks and I'm in school. I'm tired of this not getting home til 10p or later every night and I know you are too. Hopefully **fingers-crossed**  the interview today will go awesomely and I'll have a normal work schedule again! Thanks for dealing with this crazy-ness and being understanding and supportive!

    Love you lots and lots!

     Please hire me after my interview with you today! I want a normal 9-5 job. I'll be the best darn data-entry clerk you've ever seen!

    Dear Onyx,
    You're a sneaky puppy. You don't like laying on the floor so you wiggle your way into my lap which is super cute and I feel bad making you get down because I love it when you snuggle with me, but I know that I can't let you keep doing it because in a few months, you're going to be WAY to big to fit. Stop being sneaky and lay on the dog bed like Remi does. It's not going to kill you!

    But, thank you for running around the house and yard like a mad-dog. It's hilarious and I love watching you and your puppy antics!

    Love,
     your mama who loves snuggling with you

    CCO - your BF and mine as well as our well meaning family and friends MUST know each other!

    Dear BF -

    Although you know I would LOVE to get a bigger home with you, you also know from previous conversations that I will NOT buy a home or even consider it without at least a ring on my finger and a date set.  Can you please, please, please stop sending me links to houses you think I might like?  It makes me think you are ready to propose if you are looking at houses (which I'm sure is not really the case) and it's driving me crazy!  Especially after you had me go pick one of the diamonds we looked at the Jewelry Mart and said diamond is no longer availible online.  I don't want to be all BSC especially with the holidays coming, so knock it off. 

    Sincerely,
    Your patiently waiting GF

    What is with the stress in our lives lately? It's really fine but I think you all need a hug! *hug*

    OMG you are like 6 and a half months away!  SH!T!!!  I really dislike planning you, can't you plan yourself?

     

    Love,

    Dear Mother,

     

    Really?  I know how much you love to sweep things under the rug but insisting that I need counseling NOW so that you don't have to have family drama is really a jerk thing to do.

     

    Your not very happy or supported,

    Daughter

     

    Dear FI,

     

    I love you.  Sorry this week has been so rotten.  I have a lot of things bothering me.  Sorry I am not telling you, I am still not sure if I should tell you one so you will have to bear with me until I figure it out.  Thanks for taking care of me.

     

    Love,

    Your FI

     

    Dear Work,

     

    Please don't bring boss from hell back, I will leave.
