I'm not sure what day this usually is, but hump day seems appropriate for them. Let it out!

Dear icky-nauseous-feeling,
Go Away! I'm so tired of being nauseous and the sick feeling that I've had for a week. But, even though I hate you and you're making work miserable this week, thank you for not being pregnancy, which was my first fear.
Love,
Jen

Dear FMIL,
I truly don't care what you wear to the wedding! Long, short, sequinced, plaid, I really don't care! You can ask me, your son, my mom, we're all going to tall you the same thing. And I promise I will let you know once I've picked the flower colors, you don't have to keep harassing your son about it.
Love, FDIL

Dear Beotch in 5421,
Really? How many times do you have to hit your key fab before you get in the car? We get it- you have remote start. That's awesome, but I promise you no one is going to steal your stupid KIA. You don't have to lock it 17,000 times from your apartment. I am sooo sick of hearing your blip-blip blip-blip.

I find it even more ironic because you are the one who made a noise complaint about us running our vacuum at 11:30 am. Well I think the apartment needs to be vacuumed tomorrow. Twice. At 10 am.

HugsNKisses,
5411.

Dear Self,

You were so motivated to execise and diet last year. You lost almost 20 pounds and felt great! And you did it all with nothing on the horizon that you wanted to look good for. But now you have enagement pics, a shower, b-pics, a tropical honeymoon and, oh, a WEDDING coming up....and you can't put down the skittles and find your way to a gym?!? WTF is wrong with you??!

Thanks,
Your strapless wedding dress

Dear Kim's Fat Ass;

You have gained 10 lbs since youre wedding. Get off the couch and go to the gym. Stop being so lazy. I'll buy you a massage when you lose 5 lbs, will that help motivate you?

Dear MIL;

Can you please stop calling your son once a day? I get that you don't live locally, but cmon now.. Once a day?? I live 10 minutes away from my mom, and I talk to or see her MAYBE once a week. I think you're being a bit obsessive. He doesn't want to talk to you that much, trust me.

Dear neighbor -

If you can't get that kid of yours to sleep through the night immediately I am going to lose my frickin' mind!! I heard her scream her head off every hour from midnight to 6am last night and although you, mom, may stay at home with her all day, your neighbors are up at 6am to get ready for work. My quality of life has significantly decreased since you moved in that apartment in September and I have had enough. I do not have a child of my own to wake me up every night and I certainly do NOT want yours to. You may be clueless to the fact that apartment walls are not sound proof, so we're going to be sure to rectify that today.

xoxo,
Your Grouchy/Tired/Cranky Pants Neighbor

It felt good to get that one out!

Dear Realty Company -
Thank you for giving me a heart attack for a day and making me FREAK OUT thinking I had to bring $4K more to settlement on Friday. My FI also thanks you for this as I cried and said we had to cancel things for the wedding b/c I didnt know where this money was coming from!!! I am glad we worked it out now, but I still do not appreciate the major panic attack.

Thank you,
Stressed out - soon to be homeowner

Dear FSIL,

Please stop calling me and giving me your 2 cents on the surprise party I am throwing for your brother. I will organize it how I want to. You are stressing me out!!!

Thank you!

ButtonsPepper · January 2010

Dear next thursday,

It would be awesome if you came here quickly. I'm looking forward to my 2 hour full body rub down, followed by a long nap with my two cats. Oh yeah... and the wedding crap I have to drop off at the reception hall.

Dear Honeymoon,

I spent a lot on you, so please be warm, and worth every penny. I'm very much looking forward to lay on your beaches, and relax in the hammocks that lay over the pools. Oh, and the ever flowing mimosa's... those too.

Dear Tax season,

Be good to me this next week, and please don't make me stay at work later then 8:00. I already hate you, and can't wait to leave you for two weeks....

Love, your overly eager waiting to vacation bride.

[Deleted User] · January 2010

Onto the body bandwagon...

Dear scale,

You need to pick it up - I've been back on track with my diet and exercise for almost a month now and you have only gone down 2 measly pounds.

Thanks,
Only 8 months left to not be a fatass

[Deleted User] · January 2010

Dear career,

I am so thankful I chose you at this point in time. Now that I work at an accounting firm, I finally see firsthand how much tax season blows.. and I love having my Saturdays off a little too much.

Love,
Marketing assoc.

Dear headaches,

Please stop. I can't do it anymore, I can't afford to take off work. I don't like to miss the ballet with friends. Get it together.

Thanks.

Dear New headache meds,

Please, please, please work, I need my life back.

Thanks,

hopeful

PS I want the "some people experience weight LOSS side effect as well." TIA

Dear employers,

Hire FI. He;s great, good worker, presents well to important clients, has a posh accent etc.

thanks,

NCV

Dear little sis,
While I love the fact that you are having the time of your life away on study abroad in third world countries, not being able to talk to you or see your face is starting to get depressing. I miss you bunches-hurry home soon!
Love big sis

Dear life,
I really would love the bad news to stop dropping into my lap. Let's start, oh, say, right now? Kthanxbye!
Stressed Briar

Dear Niece's School Principal,
While you may like to think you are a doctor, you aren't. So stop lying to my sister and telling her everything is fine and Niece doesn't need an IEP and doesn't even need to be tested for an IEP when the doctor says she does- a diagnosis of Autism for a kid with major behavioral problems who is failing school should make you sit up and take notice, not sit back and relax. Oh, and just because you "don't know what you are doing because you have never had to deal with this before so she doesn't need the help" is not an excuse for any of this, including not returning my sister's calls. Act like a grown up and ask for help from the school district who is willing to provide it- at least that's what they told my sister when she finally had to call them.
not lovingly and very protectively, sister and aunt to a very frazzled mommy and daughter

Oh that felt good to get off my chest! This school has me ready to scream/punch/kick/spit nails!

miguelhilary2010 · January 2010

Oh, where to start...

Dear Coworkers,
STFU!!! I'm sick of hearing about kids, second jobs, family functions, trips, events, and other very private and personal things that should not be discussed when you work in a cubicle! Thanks

Dear Boss,
Its great that my coworker left and I'm being considered for a promotion. Too bad you didnt have the balls to fight for a pay increase for me 18mos ago. One does not make up for the other. I've now lost out on at least $10k. The promotion may delay me leaving, but its definitely not winning my loyalty to the dept/company.

Dear Neighbors,
You STFU too. I'm sick of hearing your kitchen cabinet doors bang at 6:30am, 9am on weekends, 5:30pm, 9pm and 11pm. As you already know, I have two stereos in my house and I'm not afraid to use them to blast bass near your wall. You can avoid eye contact with FI and I all you want, we really dont give a $hit.

Dear Coworkers,
Stop asking about the wedding date and/or plans. You will not be invited. Do not put it on your calendar.

Pops,
I'm not interested in joining your pyramid scheme. No matter how good the product is, or how much money you make off of it, I'm still not interested. I would like to achieve a legitimate career and I'm well on my way. Please stop cc me on your emails. I'm trying to be patient, but its like spam and gets deleted asap.

jess7185 · January 2010

dear college kids that live a few doors down from me,

    i understand that you need a place to live. i just don't like that it's on my street. i also don't like that all five of you have your own cars and take up every square inch that can possibly be used for parking. i really don't want to scratch my car because you parked too close to my driveway.

dear home warranty company,

    i don't want to take a half day from work so i can sit around and wait for someone to show up and repair our fridge and range.

dear horrible bridal show that i attended last sunday,

    your bridal show was bad enough. there were too many attendees there to speak with the vendors. however, this does not mean that i'd like an email from every wedding vendor in the tri-state area thanking me for my supposed interest in whatever they have to offer. i'm not interested. promise.

dear prospective advertising clients,

    please buy ads from me. please buy lots and lots of ads. i have a wedding to pay for.

dear girls who actually read this,

    thanks for listening to my rants.

-jess

DITTO and LMFAO!

miguelhilary2010 · January 2010

Dear parents and future in-laws,
When we started planning this wedding, you offered to pay for certain things and I really appreciate that. However, you refused to give FI and I any type of budget to work with. Do you know how hard it is to find vendors/services with no budget in mind? VERY hard. I know your finances are not by business, but having a ballpark number would have been great. I'm overly organized and a little neurotic. Maybe next time you'll work with me a little.

Thanks,
Not-greedy daughter/FDIL

DITTO - and I'd like to add to FMIL and mom - please stop asking me how much the other is putting in. I do not want to be in the middle of this. Please just pick a number or pick something to pay for and we'll figure out the rest, but you have to let us know.

May I give this one a second?! We must have been at the same show, my mom and I ended up leaving after 30 minutes and going to visit my jeweler instead!
