Dear Wednesday,

Holy smokes, you are here.

-A non-believer

Dear secretary,

Please call me today. I can't wait to be teaching my new students!

-A very excited new teacher

Dear old apartment complex,

I find it hilarious that you sent a certified letter to us (a whopping 15 min away) to tell us you were deducting our water bill from our security deposit, as discussed. However, thank you for crediting our rent by one day for August since you asked us to move out 8 days early. Since we were already planning on moving out 8 days early, we appreciate the extra money.

-Easiest move out ever

Dear Publix,

It is unacceptable that I live in the state NEXT TO Georgia and you can't offer peaches for less than $1.99/lb. And now I have reports that peaches are $1.99/lb. IN GEORGIA from @LaPeanut1018?! I love you, but can you make your peaches cheaper?

-@Southernpeach89's peach cobbler from like three weeks ago made me jealous

Dear weekends,

Hi, we haven't seen each other lately but let me say I AM SO STOKED TO HAVE YOU SOON!

-Weekends off may be a teacher's best friend

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@Blue&White ,

I wish I could make our peaches cheaper too and also our avocados...those are way too expensive.

Love,

Southerpeach89

Dear H,

I'm ready for our anniversary to be here already so I can give you your gift! I love it!!!

Love,

Your wifey

Dear @LaPeanut1018,

I'm really really excited for your bachelorette and I think we are going to have a blast. I just hope some of your friends can get rowdy in honor of you instead of being bump on a logs and not doing anything : )

Dear boss lady,

What you said yesterday about me working from home everyday starting at noon would be awesome but then what would really be the point of me coming to the office at all?

Dear Etsy stuff I ordered,

GET HERE ALREADY!

Dear Gallbladder,

I'm still waiting on the results of my scan, but based on the fact that you did not empty during the HIDA scan the way you were supposed to, my guess is that your days are numbered.

I'm just saying...peaches have been $0.99/lb at Kroger for weeks now!

Love,

Dear @southernpeach89 (yes I tagged you again!),

I'm sorry some of my friends are weird and are total bumps on the log. We'll still have fun being crazy anyway even if they aren't!

Love you!

Your biggest and bestest sis!

Dear FI,

45 more days! I suppose we should work on figuring out our vows for real huh? And maybe get our marriage license? Those things all seem sort of important. Also, that 3D bracelet you coded and had made for me as a surprise was really cute. Maybe not something I'll wear on our wedding day, but I still love it anyway!

Love,

The woman who can't wait to call you her H!

Dear Boss,

You are driving me CRAZY.

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

Dear FI,

I'm soooo excited to go visit your hometown for a long weekend, and to spend time with your family. However, I'm feeling really badly about my body lately and about how it looks in the dress I'm planning on wearing to your friend's wedding, so I'm kinda not looking forward to that. I feel like all of the girls you were friends with in HS are super hot, and I'm going to look like a sloppy, homely, cow next to them. Please just tell me I look okay more times than you think I need to hear it.

xoxo,

Your girl

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

Dear Hair stylist,

PLEASE do a great job with my haircut/highlights today. My hair looks like crap and I want to feel pretty! I promise to tip really well!!!

Sincerely,

Your 5:30 appointment.

Dear NOLA,

TWENTY-THREE DAYS until I get to be inside you with my favorite people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mom,

I can't believe you're going to be here in 1 more week! I'm so excited to see you and hopefully H will let me share our new news with you early because I really want to tell you in person!

Hugs!

Your daughter

________________________________________________________

Dear H,

You are the love of my life and I can't believe we are going to be sharing that love with a little one in about...oh...8 months! I know you worry about the kind of parent you'll be, but if the nurturing, support, care and love you've shown me over this past week (and our entire relationship) are any indication - you'll be the BEST dad any kiddo could hope for!

Love always,

Megs

Thank you ladies for letting me share my secret with you! I didn't if I didn't have you ladies to tell I might just explode!

You are AWESOME, and I'm so excited to be working with you to find us our first home. I hope our favorite house is manageable and the seller will play nice with us, because I can't stop dreaming about that pool.

Dear FI,

You are seriously just THE BEST EVER. I already love our life so much, I can't imagine how much better it could get, but I know that it's going to, and I can't wait. You make my heart pitter patter.

AAAALLLL the loves,

I GET TO PICK YOU UP TOMORROW!!!! I'm so excited, I'm going to pee. Hopefully not while you're ON me, because that would be bad.

Hummingbird125 · September 2014

dear @GoldenPenguin - DO NOT PEE IN YOUR WEDDING DRESS. I repeat. Do NOT pee in your wedding dress. I know you're not a virgin, but at least be wearing ivory on your wedding day, NOT YELLOW.

p.s. You can pee with excitement immediately after removing the dress, however.

xoxoxoxoxox I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PICS TOMORROW!!!!!

Dear coworker,

Efffff youuuuu. Putting in your notice? Frick. Frack. Fruck. I'll be doin two jobs again until our slow ass company policy hires someone.

I really do wish you well, but now my hours change, my work load Increases, I have to hope they hire someone good quickly, then I have to train them. I just did this whole process!!

No love

Dear S,

Quit being a snotty, crabby, ungrateful, entitled bitch. It's getting old. Also, your bs doesn't fool anyone the is nothing you can try that between your dad and I, that we haven't done or thought of. Grow the fuck up. You're in for a harsh reality check when you move out.

No love
Tired of fighting.

@loves2shop4shoes - The story is mostly in my "back from Mexico" post. We found out on our vacation and I'm guessing i'm just under 6 weeks.

Dear Wednesday,

Oh thank goodness you are here. I know it's a short week and all, but I'm already over it.

-----------

Dear work,

You are sort of balls these days. And you really don't pay me or anyone else (aside from the managers...) enough. You're lucky that I do not have time to look for a new job this year, but I suspect that a lot of other employees DO have time...

Dear self,

You know that taking lunch before 2:00 is probably a good idea, yes?

____________________________________________

Dear one of my best friends,

I love you. But.... as good as I can be at it, I can't handle being your shrink every time we talk. 2 hour conversations about what is going wrong with your life and particularly your boyfriend (who is an idiot... ) are annoying.

Especially when you have a shit ton of money, and are incredibly priveledged, and do not acknowledge that. Ever. And your little prejudiced remarks are starting to wear on me. I used to think you were completely aware of how absurd those things you said were, and you did it to get a life. Now, I'm starting to think it's because you're just so unaware.... it's upsetting.

And also, because you complain about your boyfriend and agree that he's not right for you until and hour and a half into crying about how awful he is, he sends you the tiniest bit of "oh, I like you too" affection in a text, and then you turn around and think he's fantastic. He's not fantastic. He's decent looking, and tall and athletic, and not a weirdo. But his politics are looney tunes. They don't make any sense. And he can't talk about anything except golf. And clearly has Peter Pan syndrome. And he sound like a drunken, frat boy idiot with no sense of class.

I mean, you totally have issues too, but he's not great.He is not better than you. Stop wearing mini skirts to try and impress him when you always talked about how much you hated girls like that. And... also, stop calling other girls "hos." Not cool.

Please actually follow through and go to your real shrink. Bi-weekly melt downs are not healthy, and they're not just because of your ex boyfriend, or mom, or boredom. Work on your shit please. And sometimes, can we talk about me?

I love you but I"m exhausted,

M

ps- It's really annoying and insulting that you tell ten different people that we're your "best friend." Don't lie. Don't try to flatter me.

_______________________________________________________________

Dear one of my best friends,

I'm sorry that I clearly have some resentment built up towards you. I'm going to work on it

Dear @Irishdreamer,

Sorry your BF's DD is being a little shit. Also, maybe we can have drinks when we're in Treasure Island?! Maybe?! I mean, I'll be SO much closer.

Love,

Why-have-we-not-met-in-person-@swazzle-says-you're-not-a-serial-killer

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

Dear FI,

I'm sorry for losing my shit over your stepmom. She's just SO full of drama that I hate talking to her in fear that whatever I say is going to be held against me or spread around the family because it was taken out of context. I already have a SIL like this, I can't handle a FSMIL! Also, group texting between different devices sucks because your texts never go to the group, just the person. Please let this be a very uneventful weekend when they come down.

Also, I'm very anxious about our class tonight. I really don't want to see how much of a financial diet we need. Please don't let me get discouraged!

Lots of love, for all the days,

Your future Mrs.

Dear @Swazzle,

Please buy that house so we can all come visit you! Also, can I sleep with the 27 cats upstairs? Even though I'm allergic?

Dear work,

The all-staff activity today was interesting, but I'm really happy about the free delicious buffet lunch, the 3% raise coming my way next week, and the half day. I thoroughly enjoyed coming home and napping. This is the best job ever.

No me gusta you working late at least once a week, especially on the day I get to come home early.

I has a sad,

Dear Old Apartment Complex,

Please don't make me pay for unintentionally breaking the old lease. The previous manager sent me the incorrect lease when I requested it and repeatedly told me the wrong end date on the lease. That counts, right?

- Not wanting to use my bonus to pay that fee

Dear Friend Who Is Driving People Nuts,

Chill the eff out. Seriously. Sorry you think I've somehow made FI change for the worse, but, I mean, people grow up. He's a free-thinking grown man and I do not want to or try to dictate who he can and can't hang out with, so you're way off base here. Also, you're 33 years old. Stop complaining about us to other friends and making your girlfriend talk to me about these issues... why don't you act like an adult and just talk to us yourself?

Really Annoyed,

Liz

Dear FFIL,

Please stop stressing me out. Come out and enjoy the wedding, stop trying to change details and plans that I made a long time ago. Not your wedding, not your call. There's a very good reason I declined your offer to pay for the wedding - you don't get to control anything.

Not much love at all, FDIL

@Peaseblossom55, it's so awesome! I went back last month...it was so hard at first, but it gets a little easier every time. It's been so nice to go back to the thing that I loved so much as a kid. I hope your classes are as awesome as mine are!

Peaseblossom55 · September 2014

@Futuremrshistorian I hope so too. I'm planning to take a ballet and a theater dance class. The classes where I go can sometimes be hit or miss depending on the teacher.
