Dear Speakers,

I've emailed. I've called. I'm about to be reduced to groveling. I NEED you to get back to me about your travel plans. Send me your itineraries. Let me make your plans for you. But for the love of all that is good and holy in this world, please stop booking flights to Baltimore, NYC, and the wrong weekend. I really cannot take much more of this asshattery.

Love,

I'm going to crack

Dear Board Member,

Months. You've had these for months. And you send the names to me for travel booking 30 minutes before a meeting and three days before the hotel block closes? We're fighting.

No Love,

Pull it together.

Dear Snuggleupagus,

Thanks for being just as awesome and supportive this time around as you were in November and December while I was pulling my hair out. You're the best

Love,

Dear realtor,

Please find someone who wants to rent out our condo soon. I know it just got listed today. I'm a bit impatient.

Anxious soon to be landlord.

Dear Condo,

Please pack yourself. It doesn't seem like a lot but it really is.

No love,

Dear work,

You have been slow..please pick up.

Dear Bridal Salon,

Please have the dress for me! You have one of my favorites and I hope I fall in love with it! I hate trying on clothes so I don't want this to drag out.

Dear FI,

I'm jealous you have spring break...but I'm also very proud of you that you're working so hard on your new place. It's killing me that I live and work so far away that I can't just stay there with you and help. You're amazing...I can't wait to marry you.

Dear Engagement Photos,

I pray that it doesn't rain on next Saturday...it's in the forecast which makes me sad but I hope that it clears up anyway. If it rains we will have cute photos with umbrellas and rain boots!

Dear Condescending Attorney,

Just because you are an attorney doesn't mean you can talk down to me. Doesn't mean you know more than I do. I've been doing my job longer than you have been out of law school. Get off your fricken high horse and start respecting those of us who have been doing this longer than you.

Sincerely,

Screw the F off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Fiance,

Your clothes have been sitting in the basket, in the living room for 2 weeks now. Please put them away.

Dear WI,

Dear Mom,

Thank you so much for all of your help with the wedding. I would have lost my mind if it weren't for you!

Dear Dad,

I know we have a very rocky relationship (understatement) but I'm realizing life is short and I don't want to be angry with you anymore.

Dear Wedding,

Plan the rest of yourself. Kthx.

mhollister,

OMG dress shopping AND engagement photos? You are so beating me. Luckily, your wedding is like 5 months before mine, so I don't have to compare us too much

I totally agree about dress shopping, by the way. I'm going in May and kinda dreading it. I just want to like the first dress I try on (pricewise AND lookswise...)

-B&W

Hummingbird,

Lots of interview vibes and smart decision making vibes headed your way! Although I agree, you're a pretty smart cookie if you waited for BF

-B&W

Peek,

Internet hugs. You sound majorly stressed out

-B&W

FI,

It weirds me out when you say you trust me with these HUGE $$ decisions haha. But it makes me laugh that you really cared about the venue but not the photographer? The photographer is like one of the most important things!

-FI whose priorities are obviously different than other FI

Dear bank account,

I hope you keep saving during this wedding planning. I know that sounds like crazysauce, but I think it's possible. That's why I put money in savings yesterday before writing out this photographer deposit. And that money is expected to stay there!

Love,
Your accountee
PS - can you PLEASE increase your interest rate s'il vous plait? I hate earning like $0.70 per month on an account that has a crapton of money in it. I want dollars, kthx.

Haha yea trying on clothes to me is like a huge headache! I know that with my Mom, FMIL, and my older sister being there that it's going to be hectic so I'm hoping hoping hoping it's the only shopping trip. My dream dress is in my price range but if that doesn't work out then idk where the other dresses will end up price wise.

I totally relate to the interest rate shenanigans! It's stupid how little it is when you have actually spent some time putting some extra dollars in that account.

Hummingbird125 · April 2013

Dear Blue & White,

Thank you! I need all the good vibes (especially those smart-decision-making ones) I can get!

Have you seen the documentary 'Forks over Knives'? Powerful and frightening in regards to what we eat as Americans! 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead' was similar, and also an interesting film.

Dear roommate,

I am so excited that you decided to join the YMCA with me. Now we can do Zumba, yoga and spin classes on a regular basis. Then after those classes, we can go swimming and relax in the hot tub!

It's awesome having a workout partner that is available to work out pretty much anytime.

Sincerely,

Excited and motivated girl who just wants to lose a whole bunch of weight and pronto!

Dear BF,

I'm sad that you now live in Dahlonega...I do not like driving an hour to see you, my poor car needs to rest as much as possible.

Move back closer, please?

Love,

Your lonely GF

Dear BF:

I'm glad we jumped the gun and booked our trip on Sunday. It's all I can think of. The beach, the warm weather, the drinks, the blackout drinking.........

I'm also so so happy that you're finally excited for a vacation! Every other year you're so "meh" about it. I don't know what's different this year, but what the heck I'll go with it.

Love,

GF

Ha. Anyone remember Jello Jigglers? I used to think they were super fancy when they were served at bday parties as a kid.

WTEWYE is an interesting read, danser. ... I guess not to everyone... Ha. It's the first book I've sat down to read in a looong time. Because I usually listen to books. I'm into it.

Dear Unemployment Insurance,

Please let me qualify for you. I took being laid off like a champ, and I am going to work hard to find a great new job, but in the mean time, I need to not have a nervous breakdown trying to figure out how to meet my financial obligations.

Sincerely,
Trying to avoid deeper worry lines

Dear FI,

I appreciate your support and optimism though all of this. I know I have the tendency to focus on the negative, which is why I sometimes push myself to find the good in my life. You are one of those parts of my life that are consistently good, and you nudge me toward the light when I am heading to the darker regions of my mind.

Love,
Your grateful FI

I am not sure I have had a chance to say congratulations on your engagement. You have waited so patiently, and I am so happy for you that you are in this next stage! I can't wait for your WR posts!
