@swazzle, @beanbot2002, @cu97tiger, @tuarceatha, @suzie211 and anyone else I forgot,

I'm so sad I can't make it this weekend. Please drink all the drinks for me (except for you @beanbot2002). This fall, I will be back to DC, so get ready for that.

XOXOXOXOXO,

buddy

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

Work,

Seriously, I can't take it anymore. I'm so thankful that you approved my Europe trip, now fingers crossed that my freaking WEDDING AND HONEYMOON get approved. I seriously cannot believe you didn't know this was going on for three years. Also, please, if you are in any sort of managerial position, please take your anti-depressants. Thanks.

No love,

Two year until I work part time, counting down the days

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

Dear FI,

Three weeks of you sleeping on the couch does not make me happy. Also, I'm so glad that you're finally down for eating healthy food now. I was really hoping NOT to cook two seperate dinners for eternity. Also, awesome negotiation skills with the DJ, I'm proud of you

Love,

Granny

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

Dear mom,

STAHP sending me pictures of wedding dresses, I'm having such bad anxiety as it is to shop for dresses. And no, my budget is not $5000! Stop watching Say Yes to the Dress! I promise you, we will go dress shopping once the weather starts getting nice. No, I will not eat 1000 calories a day, you have lost your damn mind, woman! That's why I love you. I can't wait to find a hot dress for you to wear for the wedding, I'm more excited about that. Thank you for letting me talk to my fur-brother on the phone every day. You know he loves me more than you

Love,

Your daughter

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

Dear photographer that I'm meeting with tonight,

Please promise me you won't make me look like the Michelin Man on my wedding day. Please don't rape my wallet. If you need to, I understand, but please see the first sentence.

I can't stop stalking your pictures,

Your potential client

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

Dear Self,

You should really get back into the hair business again, the quotes I'm getting for on-site hair and MUA is crazy, but I 100% understand why. I feel like I should do this for a weekend job again. I HATED doing bridal hair, but at $500 a pop, I'd go back out and do it again in an instant.

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

Dear Wedding,

We got all the big shit booked hopefully by the end of this month. This was the plan. I can't wait to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing major WR and just relax and pay all my vendors and work on all the DIY stuff. Oh yeah, and buy a dress....................

Swazzle · January 2014

Dear @buddysmom80,

I'm going to miss my train/drinking buddy and roommate this weekend. I let the girls know they have some big shoes to fill! Sending a big kick in the ass to your bosses for being assfaces.

**********

Dear @beanbot2002, @cu97tiger, @tuarceatha, @suzie211, @amapola14, @cask85,

I am so ridiculously excited about this weekend! I can't believe I'm meeting so many new NEYers after all this time. We're going to have a blast! 2 days!!!!

**********

Dear @audrewuh, @elle1036, @doubless07, @hummingbird125,

2 months, 3 weeks, 6 days. That is all.

Dear H,

You're my favorite and I love you. I'm really looking forward to eating all the steak at dinner tonight.

Dear "Polar Vortex":

I've had it with you and I want SUMMER. Also, your name is stupid.

buddysmom80 · January 2014

Swazzle · January 2014

Hahahaha! Sounds like a plan, my weekend is going to be BORING.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

Dear H,

I loved the just because flowers you gave me yesterday! It really picked up my spirits. You're too good to me.

Dear Valentine's Day,

I know you're more than a month away but I really excited for you because H and I signed up for a cooking class to celebrate and we are making duck! I've never made duck so I'm very excited for this.

Dear body,

Please don't cramp today. I have a lot of stuff to get done and I can't be miserable.

lennonkdc · January 2014

@buddysmom80 OMG you are so on top of your wedding planning!!

Dear wallet,

Please get fatter so I can attend all the GTG's. I have so many of you that I want to meet/see again!

Thanks,

Saving for a wedding sucks

Dear FI,

I'm sorry I've been directing my menstrual rage at you. I know you are trying to be supportive, and I will try to be more forthcoming with my feelings.

Also, no that we've booked our DJ, I must say I'm getting all sorts of excited for the wedding. I promise to no longer bring up the idea of eloping twice a week

Love,

Your prickly but lovable future wife

tuarceatha · January 2014

Dear @buddysmom80,
We are gonna miss you so hard this weekend. Please plan your next trip here asap.

buddysmom80 · January 2014

@lennonkdc technically so far we have the venue, officiant (my awesome CW/JOP) and HM booked and deposits paid. We met with FI's top choice for a DJ the other night, FI is still deciding, more than likely we'll cut him a check this weekend. 99.9% sure I'm booking the photog tonight, I'm pretty sold on her. TBH, I don't know what I'm doing! The checklist TK has is huge and I'm like "wtf, why so many things????" Like I just remembered now I'll have to meet with the baker at some point, I totally forgot that shit because the cake is included with our package. Gahhh!!!! CAKE!!!!!

ETA: @tuarceatha FI is 100% on board for a trip to DC this fall. I just checked with him, he's all "hell yeah, I had fun and nothing was even open!" so I'm thinking September or October I'll be down there.

lennonkdc · January 2014

@buddysmom80 thats still a ton of progress!! I have a running list (ok, lists) on our fridge of stuff to do. I haven't even looked at TK's list in months!

Dear DH,

What a shitty month it's been for our marriage! I'm glad that you FINALLY called your boss last night and told him, "nopenopenope". I TOLD you that asserting yourself would help, and his response seems promising!

No matter the weather, we're in this together. Even when I freak out and think every fight will mean divorce.

Dear Body,

I'm sorry you're tired. I just want to sleep too...but we're at work so we can't.

Love, Tired Me

Dear @buddysmom80 ,

Don't stress so much about wedding dresses. Honestly, I felt a lot better after I went by myself and tried on some dresses without other's opinions or judgements about the dress. It kind of gave me some time to myself to figure out what I really liked and didn't like. I've had visions of myself just looking like a giant white poofy whale and the reality was completely different. You'll look beautiful!

Love,

Another body conscious person

Peaseblossom55 · January 2014

Dear NEYers,

So wish I was going to DC, perhaps in the fall. I want to meet you all

Dear weather,

Please get warmer, I know it's winter but this is ridiculous.

Dear next two weeks,

Blackbird230 · January 2014

Dear Polar Vortex,

No. I'm done with you. I dropped my gas card under my car this morning because I was wearing gloves and it slipped out of my hands. I did not enjoy getting on my knees and hunting for you.

Sincerely,

A very cold and grumpy girl

Dear FI,

I really hope you can make it up here tonight and not have your car die. I know it's a campfire and I know your family are jerks when it comes to letting you take a different car. I love you to bits.

Love,

Your lovely fiance

Hummingbird125 · January 2014

Dear Body,

I love you so hard even after only a week of dieting/exercising. I will totally be keeping this up, so that I can eventually walk down the aisle looking better than I ever have (especially since I wanna get round with all the behbehs soon after that). I really really really want to feel confident in a bathing suit this summer, so we can go to the beach and pool parties all the time and so I don't stress about it. I really hope my dumbells and exercise ball arrive today and I can start an at-home program tonight :-)

Love,

Your motivated brain

p.s. It's your time of the month, so, you know, act like it. I'd really not like to have to take a pregnancy test with FI for the first time, while I don't even have a job, so....

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

Dear Mom,

I love you SO much and I know you are SO excited for your oldest daughter to get married, but we really need to have lunch and talk this stuff out soon. You're saying things that make me think that YOU assume I'm having a big wedding on Long Island within the next year or so, and you must know that if FI and I are paying for this shindig ourselves, that kind of party just ain't happening. However, if you and/or Grandpa are planning on paying, you're going to need to straight out tell me, because I'm not going to ask. Even if that is the case, I have no idea if you guys know how much wedding-things actually cost. We really need to straighten this out and get everyone's expectations in line...

Also, there is no way I'm registering before even having a wedding date set. Just, no. Please don't ask again.

Love,

Your oldest and best

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

Dear FI,

Getting compliments from you about how I look makes my whole day better. Please please please never stop saying things like that to me. I'm a girl, and we need verbal appreciation every now and then.

xoxo

your FI!

Dear birdo,

What exactly happened to you? You have been incredibly social, talkative, playful, friendly, and affectionate since Thanksgiving. I know that Daddy thinks you're just going through a (nice) new phase, but I've known you since you were a little baby and you've never been like this for such an extended period of time before.

Not complainin', just a little perplexed!

I'm so glad we worked a few things out last night. I know we've still got A LONG way to go and I've got a lot of things to work on, but it was nice of you to be so patient with me after I lost my shit on you.

Now, please stop getting ahead of me in this whole job thing. The one in the other city may not work out! Please please please please quit talking about it like it's a done deal. Focus on networking as much as possible here for the time being. My patience with you is running thin on this...

Dear girl at the sex shop yesterday,

Thanks for making me feel so comfortable in the store. I was freaking out on the inside after screaming at H. It felt very empowering to buy a lady product. You calmed my nerves a lot just by talking to me about batteries. I hope you had no idea it was my first time buying something like that.

Sincerely,
