It is Wednesday right?

Dear contractor,

I would love it immensely if you were done with our flooring tomorrow, but I'll settle for Friday.

Love,

Homeowner who wants her home and kitchen back in one piece

Dear H,

You are beyond wonderful in so many ways. Even the smallest things make me so grateful I found you. I'm so excited to start this new journey with you this month.

Love,

Me

Dear sister,

Things were going so well I'm sorry you now have gestational diabetes. You are almost there though only a few more weeks!

Love

Your sister

Dear weather,

I am so glad you are not raining right now. I haven't gotten to take my lunchtime walk with the pup for a while now!

Dear BF,

I love that you're impossible to stay mad at, and you always know the right thing to say. It gives me a lot of faith that fighting won't be a serious issue for us.
Let's hope this trend keeps up, anyway, because listening to your new Call of Duty game is going to get really old really fast. I promise to try not to be a grump, but our house is just really tiny and repetitive gunfire is not my fave.

Dear nephews,

I can't believe it's been a year, but I get to see you next Friday and I seriously CANNOT wait! I keep looking at the picture of you on the wall and getting all giddy.

Dear work,

I think I'm gonna leave early today. I do NOT want to be here any more.

AuroraRose41 · November 2014

@Peaseblossom55 I hope your sister is okay!

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

Dear BF,

You are wonderful, despite wanting to strangle you last night over not understanding that I needed you to buy chicken in addition to milk so that I could make chicken for dinner. You are seriously the programmer in that joke about bread and eggs, but I love you anyways.

Love,

Your GF who had to improvise for dinner last night

Dear Guy on Planning Board,

Please stop being so indecisive. I am only trying to help you out with this event, so answer your damn emails and make some decisions. It is NOT that hard to send a quick email saying what food you want to have at the event.

No love,

Girl who is an extreme planner

Dear California,

Your housing prices are crazy. Get your s*** together and drop them so that we don't spend $1 million on a tiny house with no land by the time we are ready to buy.

No love,

Girl who just wants some privacy and a 3-4 bedroom house that is modestly priced.

Dear Cinders,

Please stop being so smart. It's really cute that you are such a great problem solver...but opening doors and gates and getting in to people food isn't. I just don't want you to get sick, or get run over by a car, or get lost.

It's a good thing you're adorable.

Love, your mommy

Dear Photographer,

I know you're super busy...and I know it's only been a couple weeks...I just wish we had our pictures. I know they'll be worth the wait, but I really want to drool over them right now please!

Love, your favorite client

Dear Mom,

I wish I could help you feel better. Menopause really sucks. I'm there for you no matter what! I hope we can do some mom-daughter stuff soon to distract you from how awful you've been feeling!

Love, your oldest

Dear H,

I love you. That is all.

Why you so slow? This day is dragging and I'm ready to be home where it's actually warm.

You are wonderful. Thank you for doing all the laundry and letting me sit on the couch and watch tv. I love you more than words.

Dear 30 degree weather,

I saw you making your way into the state next week. I'm just not ready for that nonsense.

Dear Mouth,

Please finish healing! I'm tired of cutting up food into tiny portions and using one side of my mouth for chewing. I can't wait to bite into a giant steak.

Dear Upcoming Conference,

Please don't suck as much as I think you will. I would LOVE to be pleasantly surprised here. Here's to hoping for a busy booth filled with productive meetings instead of me spending most of my time working on my iPad.

Dear Photographer,

Please respond to my email about scheduling engagement photos. I'm tired of being in limbo here. Between busy schedules and my unexpected gum graft, it's been difficult to nail down a date and time, but now I'm ready to just get it on the books.

Dear Uterus,

Please DIAF today.

Dear Weather,

YOU ARE AWESOME! The cold, drizzly weather is amazing compared to the 90 degree heat we had throughout October. I'm so ready for winter!

Dear Skin,

Please clear up! I hate pimples...if this means I'm about to ovulate then Yay but if not then GO AWAY!

Dear Step MIL,

I'm actually sort of relieved that you won't be hosting Christmas Eve dinner this year. I don't want to see or talk to you so I'm happy that you're going on vacation and that I can spend it with my family.

Love,

Your DIL that is still VERY much upset with you

Dear Maddux,

You ate your bones too quickly and now you have diarrhea. At least you can join Cinders in her misery of liquid poop. Rice and Chicken it is tonight!

Love,

Mommy

Dear H,

I love you and your jokes! You always make me laugh and I'm glad we understand each other's stupid humor lol.

Love,

Dear vehicles,

I hope you both are very happy with your new shoes! They were expensive and now I'm broke.

Dear PI,

When you send me your work, be honest. Tell me it's a 45-page grant application due tomorrow, don't tell me it's a white paper.

Dear @Swazzle @GoldenPengun @Buddysmom80 @CSousa1

Thanks for being the bestest friends to pass the time chatting with. I've been in a crappy mood all day, and I love knowing I can vent to you guys about that and not be judged for being in a bad mood without a good reason to be. I love talking about food, and boys, and furbabies, and HOUSES, and weddings with you all (but mostly food).

I had SUCH a good time with you guys this weekend (@GoldenPenguin was there in spirit) and you guys seriously have NO IDEA how happy I am to have met all of you. I needed you in my life!

Your grateful friend,

Hummingbird

Dear FI,

I know I can be an emotional drama queen stress-monster sometimes, but you put up with me so well. You know exactly what to say to help me relax. I'm still not entirely comfortable with the number of guests we're inviting to our wedding, but I know I can count on you to figure it all out if it becomes a problem.

I love that we are on the same page when it comes to financial planning, and exercise/diet. We can hold each other accountable for all of our goals, and I know that's not the case with every couple.

I also find it adorable that even though I'm stressed about inviting more guests than we originally planned, you're more EXCITED about our wedding, because you initially didn't expect to have too much family there from your side. This is your celebration too, and I'm really looking forward to meeting more of your extended family.

xoxoxo,

Your FI

p.s. Please bring home wine.

I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well. I hope that you're able to get some good sleep soon. BTW, I cleaned the kitchen when I went home for lunch, I hope you like it!

lmcooper86 · November 2014

Dear FI,

I am SO PROUD of you for getting up early and having your brother kick your ass at the gym! I will make whatever healthy dinners you want and will make you go to the gym at my place when you feel like sleeping. I'll even go with you if we go to bed early enough!

Love, Your every-supportive FI who just wants you to be healthy

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

Dear emails,

I've been answering you for 3 days and am finally caught up enough to not feel awful and stressed. But I've also hit a point where you are no longer stupid and annoying, you're just sort of sad and hilarious at the same time.

No love but lots of giggles, busy worker gal

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

Dear BMs,

YAY you all have approximately the same budget for dresses! This makes my life a lot less stressful!

Looooooove yoooooou, bride friend

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

Dear FI again,

I'm still sort of bummed that we can't make Hawaii work for our HM. I know, I know, the flights were going to be a major pain in the ass, and we wouldn't have been able to stay as long, and all that logical jazz. But I'm still sort of sad.

Love, you first world problems FI

Kitchen cabinets on Monday!!! I can't wait to cook you a great meal in our new kitchen when it is finally complete in several more weeks. Also...Mexico in a week and a half!!! I don't know which one I'm more excited for.

Dear Doggie,

I'm with @LaPeanut1018 - you are darn lucky you are cute because the escape antics are not funny. Hiding in the garage behind boxes for the door to open so you can escape = not cool. You get better food than H and I combined every day, have a new toy every month at least, get bones, get tons of pets and love...why do you want to escape badly? I know its part of your breed to want to explore but seriously?

Dear NEY Ladies,

Thanks for being a HUGE support over the past couple weeks. I know the layoffs are all I've been talking about and I've completely ignored everyone and everything else...but you still gave me TONS of vibes, prayers and happy thoughts. You're the best!

Hugs,

Dear self,

An apple and a Luna bar =/= dinner.

----------

Dear students,

Thank you for being much more patient for this exam review. I know that many of you were hoping to do a lot better than you did last time, and I know that it was a really rough exam. But I really appreciate that you're not taking it out on me, and that you're making review go super smoothly. Cookies will be in your future!

----------

Dear PI,

I know I'm avoiding you, but it's because my cells were not ready to go when I was available to treat/collect them, and they were ONLY finally ready to go today. But I am staying late tonight and coming in early tomorrow to get you some results.

----------

Dear high school friends,

Your thank-you notes will be in the mail tomorrow, but I am SO SO SO thankful and absolutely stunned that you bought us our silverware. Like, I registered for that thinking that my mother would buy it for us (she did for my brother's wedding three years ago and my cousin's wedding this summer), and it was not inexpensive. That you all went in together to get it for us, knowing how much we wanted it, means the world to me.

----------

Dear DJ,

Am now super nervous that you are going to call me Mrs. Hislast at the wedding because you have "Mr. and Mrs. J and Phira Hislast" on our info sheet you sent us.

----------

Dear J,

Thank you for being such an incredible and supportive partner. I know that my family has been very difficult to deal with lately, and I know that with the wedding approaching, this is not an easy time for you to set aside your needs and take care of me.

I can't include this in my vows because that's just asking to burn bridges with my siblings, but I promise that I will never, ever, ever treat you or our future children the way that my dad's family treats people. Ever.

Dear hands,

*Sigh* We had a beautiful summer of you not looking like a hot mess. But alas, winter-y weather is upon us, and we've got to sanitize pretty much every 15 seconds at work. So I guess you're just going to be red and bumpy and dry for a few months.

Love,

Dear December,

Let's go let's go let's go LET'S GOOOOOOO! I'm ready to start apartment hunting (but I want to wait one more month so I can get that first big-girl paycheck under my belt).

Love,

Dear self,

Please stoooooooooop with the OMG-I've-been-single-for-a-whole-YEAR-now dramatics. It really is not a tragedy; it's been a good year and you've made so many wonderful changes that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. You're about to start a new job and move and all kinds of fun stuff, so be excited! There will be plenty of opportunities to meet new people, and these things just have a way of working out, so there really and truly is no need to panic.

Love,

The side of you that would rather get this RIGHT next time than just get into SOMETHING

Dear friends,

Um...we're getting kind of boring as a group. Please consider doing something with me this month other than going out for dinner? I worked really hard and found ideas, soooooo let's hop to it!

Love,

Your friend who needs to get OUT more

@CLoGreenEyes - what, has it been that long??

CLoGreenEyes · November 2014

@CocoBellaF‌ I know, right? I was hoping I'd be so busy with my fabulous independent life that I wouldn't notice the "anniversary," lol, but no such luck. Oh well!

cu97tiger · November 2014

Dear DH,

Please decide we can try one more cycle of assisted TTC. I know I'm putting on a brave face that 'if you're done, then we're done' but I am slightly on the verge of a panic attack at the thought that we won't be trying to have any babies. I want your babies. Bad.

Love,

Infertile wife

Dear NEYers (you know who you are, and especially @goldenpenguin, @hummingbird127, @loves2shop4shoes, @swazzle),

Like @allusive007 said, I feel like all I ever talk about is NOT being able to get pregnant. Thank you for humoring me and letting me vent and sending me your prayers and vibes.

Love,

This girl

Dear ring,

GET HERE MEOW. Oh, you aren't even made yet? That doesn't matter. I cannot wait until your prettiness is on my finger.

Love,
