Dear self,

We dropped the ball yesterday. Today will be better. I'm proud of you for even being up and dressed at this hour; now get your ass off TK and go to school and READ.

Love,

Me

Dear Mom,

Have a good time at the beach! I'm glad we talked last week, it made me feel a lot better about stuff. I love you.

However, I need you to pretty please stop posting pictures of wedding dresses on my Facebook wall. That one that you found was indeed quite pretty, but it's not time yet and I'm trying to remind myself of that.

Love,

Your daughter

Dear BF,

It is incredibly cute that you're all excited about buying a shotgun I can use at the range. How I wish you would channel just a smidgen of that into buying a little sparkly...;) Haha, but that being said, we will have fun this fall.

Love,

Your GF

Dear Financial Aid,

So do I get it back? Do I get to keep my grant and the scholarship you said I would be getting? Do I get to have those back? Did my appeal go through so I can have my aid back? Inquiring minds want to know.

Sincerely,

Sooooooo close to graduating debt-free

UGH I'm cramping this morning and I don't feel like working : (

Dear potential job,

I have a phone interview with you today and you seem like a great opportunity and you're closer to home. I'm interested but I'm still unsure so I hope this phone interview gives me more confidence if you're a good fit.

Sincerely,

Potential employee

Dear current job,

You suck and you make me really stressed out.

Goodbye

Dear FI,

I loved our little mini vacation this weekend, it was nice to just relax and enjoy some time away from everything. 80 days!!

Love,

Dear new cooking blog I found,

You're so awesome and I'm rather obsessed with you.

Dear Graduate Office,

Tell me, do you like messing with my mind? You withheld my financial aid, you lost my committee appointment, you are now challenging the people I selected! I'm setting my adviser on you, go after him for a while. I'll get you the CV's you want since nothing is ever good enough for you!

No love,

Over grad school

Dear work,

Can this staff meeting next week be boring? The last one was so awful that I don't know if I can face this one.

No love,

Dear BF,

"You'll never find another job?" Wow, way to throw my biggest fear in my face and use it as a weapon. You've been forgiven, but I am not forgetting that for a long time.

Love,

GF

Dear self,

Get off your lazy ass and read the white paper for the only class you're taking this semester!

Dear @istril,

I feel so bad for your situation with your dad, but I'm ready to be done talking about cohabitating. Tell us what wine you like.

Seriously,

Dear @audrewuh, @buggle2, @livleighton, @swazzle, @lennonkdc and @elle1036,

Cannot wait to drink everything with you ladies!!!! I'm so excited!!

---------------------------------------

Dear ladybits,

Seriously, what the fuck is going on? These pains really suck and Ibuprofen isn't helping unless I drink it with wine and I can't freaking drink wine at work. So, fix yourself, okay?

-------------------------------------

Dear gyn,

I know you have my ultrasound report, please call me back?????? Pretty please???

---------------------------------------

Dear BF,

Thank you for being so understanding while I'm "the weak one", I'm sorry that I wished a 120lb growth on your balls, I hope that doesn't happen because I would probably have to help clean that nonsense.

----------------------------------

Dear Body,

Don't give up on me, we were doing good on the working out thing until my lady bits started to punch me internally and I was putting healthy things in my mouth. Once I feel 100% we're hitting the gym HAM.

Dear FI,

Sorry we fought last night and I am glad you finally see my point. I understand that the stress level of both of us is really high right now, but we need to realize it will be worth it in the end.

One month tomorrow

Love,

Me

Dear ladyparts,

Fuck off. This has been going on far too long. Stop it now.

Sincerely,

I hate you.

Dear NEY Ladies,

One month! Thank you for keeping me in line and not BSC with stupid plans. You may not know it, but you secretly did.

Love you all!

Thanks for the awesome week! I am riding this wave of motherfucking sweet luck as far as I can.

Hummingbird125 · September 2013

Dear self,

Enough with these late-night freak-outs about finances/employment. You are FINE right now, and for several more months, even without a job. Focus on getting this invitation shop up and running. If you don't put everything you've got into this it doesn't stand a chance.

Also, go to the gym every day. You feel so much better about life when you do.

Love,

Self

----------------------------------------------------------

Dear BF,

You get your first bigger paycheck in a week. Please save as much as you can and learn to say NO to me if I'm making us spend too much on unnecessary outings. I know you hate saying no to me, but keep in mind that I'd much prefer a ring than a bunch of dinners and drinks in the city.

Love,

Trying to be patient GF

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear girl I'm "baby-sitting" for,

Thank you for opening up to me about your eating disorder. Your mom really wanted you to talk to me about it without any prodding, and I'm happy you did. I'm here if you need to talk about that, or anything else. I have 24 years of experience being a big sister, and I'd love to be like one to you if you want that.

Hang in there,

J

---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear youngest sister,

I'm sorry your hair is falling out. It sucks that you're dealing with all these stupid health issues when you're supposed to be feeling better than ever. I am confident the doctor will figure out what hormones or nutrients or whatever are responsible and it WILL get better. That said, you CANNOT let yourself be so obsessed about how your hair looks. It really looks fine to most people who don't know what's going on. Your friends don't care, and your boyfriend loves you regardless, so stop letting thoughts about your hair take over your life.

Sick of hearing you cry about your looks,

Big sister

Dear @cu97tiger,

Are you going to be in Chicago soon? If so, we are hanging out. The whole time. Ya dig?

P.S. Your note to Mr. Wildcat made me teary. Because I'm a boob.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear DH,

I love you. And I appreciate everything you do for me and our family every day. Every time I look at you, I feel an overwhelming surge of warm fuzzies. I'm so happy you're mine.

Love,

Wifey

P.S. You don't know it yet, but I'm gunna make chicken soup for you today, so when you come home, you'll have something to help your cold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear @buggle2,

Thank you for having me over this past weekend. And thank you for teaching me how to knit. I love your doggies...and I will steal one. Be prepared.

Mr. Shoes and I can't wait to have you and Mr. Buggle over for that cubs game in a few short weeks!

Love,

I am supposed to be there next month for work but I just got put on a HUGEMONGOUS project so I'm trying to get out of it. Don't worry, we have events there all the time so I'll def try to get there in '14!

suzie211 · September 2013

Dear NEYers,

I love all of you bitches! I need a G2G with you all soon! Chicago is a must, but I think I need a trip to DC too. Can we make playtime happen?!?

Love,
Lady whose crazy about some Internet strangers

Swazzle · September 2013

@suzie211 - What about NYC?!

I would like to do a DC G2G, too, actually. I haven't been there in a few years.

cu97tiger · September 2013

@suzie211 and @swazzle - YES, let's do it. Chez Tiger is always open for some NEYers! It's short notice, but @buddysmom80 will be in DC in early October... can you make it down?

I can't come that weekend (Devils home-opener and I have a 5k). The following weekend would be awesome because I'm off on Monday. Let's chat about this for real and also @beanbot2002!

CASK85 · September 2013

I'll be living in the DC area starting in January. . . I want to play!

suzie211 · September 2013

@swazzle I love NYC and would happily come play! I'll be in the Buffalo area the first week of Oct, but not sure when I'll be closer to the city.

@cschiano Let's meet at least once here before you move!

@cu97tiger my sister lives in DC and one of my really good gf's just moved there this week. We're trying to figure out a weekend that works for us all, but once I figure out when I'll be that way I'll definitely work out details to meet up with you! If I wasn't already going to be sipping wine all over the Finger Lakes in Oct, I'd be headed to DC.

cu97tiger · September 2013

@swazzle @suzie211 @cschiano @beanbot2002

Let's wait until cschiano is in town and do it up right! Plus I'll be out of town the weekend of 10/12. Should we make this an epic one?

loves2shop4shoes · September 2013

Dudeeee @csciano. I move here and you move away. I see how it is.

Like @suzie211 said, we HAVE to have a G2G here BEFORE you go.

I'm sad though. FOOTSTOMP!

minskat30 · September 2013

I'm game for a Chicago get together before @csciano leaves. @loves2shop4shoes and @suzie211 lets make it happen after @suzie211 is back from her honeymoon!

I missed a lot but I am SUPER down for a DC gtg anytime before the middle of February! Show season is just about over for Bean, and we're only doing a small handful of shows throughout the winter, so my weekends will be nice and open! eeeeeeeee!
