Dear Senior,

We have had 19482305872903472038 dry runs of this new program, we have had this program for 3 months and you still don't know what to do. I am so so frustrated that while I bust my hump 8 hours a day you sit in your office and yap on the phone. Please be more productive in some sort of way.

Your employee (the one who ALWAYS owes you something)

------------------------------------------
Dear NEYers,

You're awesome. The end.

Xoxoxoxoxox,

Buddy
-----------------------------------
Dear BF,

We are not going to the mall together until we are engaged. I cannot get mad at you spending money on dumb stuff like swords or numbchucks or whatever because we need to save money. Also I'm sorry for kicking you out of bed last night, but I really wanted to sleep by myself. My life is so frustrating right now and one of the reasons is you. I have no direction for my future because the cards are in your hand. I have a free ride to pursue my MBA and I can't because I have to wait on what YOU want to do. Please make up your mind.

Love,

Me
-----------------------------------
Dear Dad,

Sorry I'm such a disappointment for not accepting your offer to pay for me to get my MBA. I don't know what's going on in the next three years and I wouldn't want you to waste your money if I don't actually use my MBA. I like what I do right now, I like where I work, I like where I live. To make the money that you predict I could make, I would have to pick up and move elsewhere. I can't do that right now. I haven't even paid a full year's mortgage on my house, I'm still wrapping my head around that. I know you want me to be successful, but it's not going to happen. I'm happy with being ordinary.

Love,

Your daughter
-----------------------------------
Dear mom,

Please stop pre-planning my wedding. Kthanxbai. Get back on your Europe and/or Africa trip planning, that was a lot more fun. We are going to have SOOOO much fun on vacation together!

Love,

Your daughter

Fashion designers:

Why the heck do you make women's shirts that do not actually function as shirts? Why do they require safety pins, camisoles, fashion tape or some other stupid thing invented to address the fact that there are so many stupid women's "shirts" that don't cover the female upper half.

-Woman who is pretty sure today's shirt selection might cause her to be refused service at a place that states "No shoes, No shirt, No service."

Dear Sakalicious,
The sooner the better. I need someone to tell my husband I want bebes soon. I heard you're really good at that type of convo, and I have failed to speak the words to Mr. JenJen for months now.

Lotsa loves,

Dear Save The Date going to Europe,

Please don't get lost, k thanks.

Dear baker,

You're an inspirational woman and I'm so glad I got to meet you on Monday. I'm super excited about our cake and FI and I loved our flavors. Noms.

Dear FI,

I know you're prone to injury and all but I really really hope you take it easy these next couple days. Your back needs to heal and when you don't rest it won't heal the way it should. 

Love,

Your FI

hahah I had a near panic attack in the car on the way to your place Saturday trying to push myself to bring up the topic to him on the way there. I feel bad that I am talking about it with others and not him, sofreakinmuch. grrr. Literally, the last 5 days I have been like . o O ((This is the day. This is the day that you tell him.... Go. .... Gooo. .... GO!)) And I stare at him and say nothing. He knows something is up, I think. But dammit if he is the one to bring it up. p.s. I could never propose. Thank gosh the tradition is for the male to propose to the female. We'd probably never have gotten married if it were on me to bring it up.

You've been great. You really have. But I'm tired of your flooding issues. We need to part ways next year. Don't take it personally. I just need something cat-friendly and open.

By the way, thanks for not flooding during the rain two nights ago. I didn't want to clean up again.

Round 2:

Dear rdr,

I wish I didn't have this half-marathon this weekend so I could crash your wedding. Don't worry, I'd just stand in the back and take Sous's seat whenever she went to the bathroom to poop.

You're going to be a beautiful bride and I hope you enjoy every second.

km,

We're actually both in between 2.5 and 3 miles at the moment, but I'm always shocked when I hit my first mile that I can "actually" do it.  I was ALWAYS the one that got excused from running the mile in middle school/elementary school.  Asthma attacks, bronchitis, etc.  So I know I can finish the 5K, so that's kinda exciting!  Good luck with yours!  It gets easier after the first mile, oddly enough   I think it was a mental block
