Open Letter Wednesday

GoldenPenguin · December 2011

Dear Cold,

Please go away for Christmas. I want to be able to enjoy Maine with the fam. Sister's cold can go away too, while you're at it.

Thanks,
Sick of being sick

***********

Dear BF's Mom,

Why must you be so terribly difficult to shop for?

Sincerely,
Me

**********

Dear Weather,

Please don't be too crappy for my drive to Maine & back. I'd appreciate any help you could give. I have places to be & things to do, and delays are not necessary.

Love,
A Subaru driver who would rather not test out the AWD this week

**********

Dear Spicebush,

Dude, if you need me to be a trophy wife, I CAN BE a trophy wife.

Love,
Bri

YGPM back Liv.

And YGPM RDR too, since you offered the hugs.

Thanks for the support ladies.

Liv, I now want pancakes. Badly. Small PM back!

csousa1 · December 2011

Dear Cunning,

I don't know what is going on, and I respect you not wanting to talk about it too in depth yet. But I'm here for you if you need to talk/vent. If it has to do with the letter you wrote him and the marriage topic, I will have to kick him in the balls for you. Actually, regardless of what it was about, I will have to kick him for making you upset. That is all.

Love,
Sousa

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

Dear BF,

Things have gotten a little tense again between us. I realize that it is mostly in my head, because the marriage conversation and Christmas conversations that we had recently left me very unsatisfied, but those are still legitimate reasons. You make it kind of hard to talk to you about these things, and I would appreciateit if you stopped that. You were wonderful at the wedding, and I really appreciate that. Please carry that on through Christmas, and don't stress me out any further than I already am, and we should be good. I don't care that you find my love of Christmas and desire for romance childish, that is just who I am and you love me and have known all of this about me all along. So step up - I know you have it in you.

Love,
After three years, I really would like a Christmas memory with you that doesn't leave me irritated and wanting.

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

Dear Self,

DO NOT have a Christmas Melt-down this year. You have a lot of people to prove wrong about that. You could start by not making the holidays more complicated than they need to be.

Love,
Me

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

Dear Work,

You suck. I'm glad that the people with kiddos get most of next week off, that's how it should be. But I'm still bitter that this means I will pretty much be here by myself all week. We are a technology sales company, and almost everyone we sell to will be out all next week. Remind me again why we have to stay open?

Sincerely,
Trying to remain grateful that I at least get two long weekends out of the deal.

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

Dear Christmas as an Adult,

You suck balls compared to Christmas as a kid. Except for the whole drinking part....that ALMOST makes up for it.

Love,
Christmas-spirit challenged

Dear Cunning,

We're all here for you, as you know. But if you need the extra ass-kicking help of the New England chicks, I know Sousa, Liv & I will be there, guns-a-blazin'. You just say the word.

Cunnings I am here for you if you want. *hugs* I hope that Liv and RDR and One other person whos name I can't remember help. And I love you. Hope that helps.

Kelly- Are you ok? How big of a deer did you hit and at what speed?

ravenray · December 2011

Dear FI,

I really hope you like your gift. This is the first year where I am buying for you without your help and I am really nervous about it. I love you and I know you will say you like it but I hope that you LOVE it.

Wishfully hoping she doesn’t suck at getting her FI gifts,

Your FI

Dear NEY,

I love you all. Sorry I have been a little distant. I have been in a weird funk this past week. Have a wonderful Christmas and/or any other holidays you celebrate (mostly because I can’t spell them). I hope you all have a wonderful time!

Love,

Raven

Dear Christmas,

OMG I can’t believe you are sooo close!! YAYA! I still need to do some many traditions!

A Christmas lover

Dear BFF,

Please make some time of me this week. You have been putting me off for a month and I know it is because you are busy but I really miss you and I am getting siriusly jealous of FI’s “guy time.”

Love

Your BFF

Dear wedding,

I wish you could plan yourself. I really don’t give a rat’s ass about the cake.

Bride.

Dear FMIL,

Who the hell only drinks 6 oz of juice? You have a siriusly messed up idea about juice.

Love,

Your FDIL

becunning2 · December 2011

@ Bri: *snort*

@CSousa: I hope your BF stops being douchey too. And mine may in fact need a kick.

@RDR: Thanks.

@ Raven: Knottie love always helps.

@ Lauren: Thank you!

@Anyone: I don't want to harass people--or post for everyone--but I'm perfectly willing/desiring of talking. I'm just down.

becunning2 · December 2011

My mom has an awesome recipe for sweet potato pancakes that are just divine. Maybe I'll have to try it out this weekend!

lennonkdc · December 2011

Cunning- Whats up? PM/FB me if you want to talk. Hugs!

********

Dear Dream Job,

It sucks that due to budget cuts you no longer exist, and I am especially sad now that I looked at the old budget and saw what the salary was for you. I hope that you are restructured soon, I would work you even at half of what you paid before.

Sincerely,

The best damn Assistant Law Director/Prosecutor ever

Dear Pile of work,

go do yourself while I bake cookies and cupcakes.

kthnxbye,

underpaid and over worked

*****

Dear Boss,

Why on earth would you assign me said pile of work when you can't even get out the sh*t I've done already. I'm not gonna waste my time doing this stuff if you can't even review and f-ing fax it. How hard is this? You make me rethink my choice of career daily. Oh andplusalso, telling me you know that I'm grossly underpaid does not help.

Posted by ravenray[/QUOTE]

ravenray, it was a doe and it was standing in the middle of the road. I hit it going about 50 mph. I'm okay but I have a dent in my front hood that I'm having checked out today after school. All the info is in my post below, titles "I hit a deer...:'("

bcunning, I know I'm a bit of a newb, but I'm always around if you want to vent as well. *cyberhug*

ravenray · December 2011

Kelly- Glad are you ok

I thought of another one.

Dear God,
Please let things go well when my mom and aunt talk. I am really afraid my aunt is going to hate me but at the same time I refuse to have my cousin at the wedding. I am so glad that my parents are taking control but please please don't let my aunt hate me. I love her too much.
Please,
Vera

Dear Santa,

Please take away FI's gift of figuring out presents. It's not fun for me. Thanks.

Dear Parents,
Please be nice this weekend when we have to leave Phx at 11 on Christmas day. Please?

I didn't yet! I should get on that - it's been a crazy week. I didn't have pics of my own to post because my camera is broken :( But there are some on FB so I will see what I can scrounge up now :)

Dear Tummy,
Don't even pretend to not feel well. It's not funny! I DO NOT want to be sick again for another Christmas!
Thanks,

Dear Bri and Liv,
I have no idea what a spicebush is, but look at this awesome spicebush caterpillar!

Sincerely,

Dear Self,
Please feel motivated to clean the house today!
Love, Me

Dear Andrew,
I haven't heard from you at all today, but it would be aweosme if you cleaned up the cat vomit that you just threw a paper towel over. Also- it would be really nice if you shoveled the driveway, since we are the only people on the block that didn't do it. What do they know that we don't?
Yours Truly,
Your Loving Fi

Dear Self,
Please don't be bitter when you have to clean up cat vomit and snow tonight. Thanks,
Me

GoldenPenguin · December 2011

Dear Lunar,

Last night, my new phone insisted that "douchebag" needed to be autocorrected to "spicebush." And I left it, because I was practically peeing my pants laughing.

Love,

******

Dear Weather,

I amend my last letter. I would like you to hold off on the snow until I get to Maine, and then dump as much as possible so that I get stuck up there & don't have to go to Florida with the women's basketball team.

Fingers crossed,
Me & Scooby

Took the words right out of my mouth!

Cunning I'm sorry you are angry with BF right now and I'm 100% sure you have the right to be. I hope that whatever it is he redeems himself and fast or else I have a feeling a whole lot of NEYers are going to be chasing him down the street...teehee we could all wear wedding dresses like that run they do!

Dear technology (at work only),

I hate you so much right now..can't you just work? I really need to get my emails and the fact that the primary program I use is down is really going to make catching up next week SUCK. Get it together already!!!

Sincerely,
Bored and aggitated employee

Dear BF,

I love you, you're the best. That is all

Your GF

Dear bestie,

Pick a freaking color for our BM's dresses already gahhhh

Sincerely,
your MOH

Dear NEY Ladies,

Thanks for the endless entertainment, giggle, LOL cats and sharing your life on the interwebz. I hope you all have a fabulous Chrismas and get a big fat kiss from your honey on NYE :)

Sincerely
Me

dwest2201 · December 2011

Dear Son,

Please don't cry every time I come to a party or special event at your school and then have to leave and pick you up later. It happened on Thanksgiving and again for the Christmas pageant. I want to come to these things, and I know that you want me there, but if you keep being this upset then Mommy won't be able to come.

Love,
Your Mother, who is realizing that you truly are a Momma Boy.

Dear Potential Employers,

Thus far I have had interviews with 3 companies, second interviews from 2/3 and all have asked for a background check realease. Now, can someone offer me a position, please.

Sincerely,

All I Want For Christmas Is A JOB.

Dear BF,

I know that you are super stressed, but you have got to find some better ways to deal with it. I do not like seeing you this strung out nor getting the grumpiness that sometimes results from all of the stress.

Please, save money, start medic school and quit that damn place already.

Love,

Your Only Wants You Be Happy, GF!

Dear NEYers,

You ladies are awesome, I am so glad I decided to come back to the boards and start posting again. I sincerely hope that I am able to meet some of you IRL someday soon.

Love and ::HUGS::,

DWEST

Thank you so much,becunning. I got a call this afternoon from one of the places that I've had 2 interviews with and we set up a third interview for next Wednesday. When I first went there she mentioned they usually do 3 interviews so that is promising! Maybe not before Christmas, but hopefully by New Years I will have a new job to look forward to!

Dear Nose,

Please, for the love of GOD stop being so stuffy. I am so sick of not being able to breathe. if you don't stop I will chop you off and live a noseless life.
