Dear Sleep,

Y U no stay with me at night?

-Call me

Dear Birth Control,

Coming off of you has been a beast. My skin is breaking out in wierd hives (but no pimples yet oddly), my emotions are all over the place and I'm freezing and yet cold sweating at the same time. What the hell have you done to me?

-Crazy lady who has had too many years of hormones

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

Dear H,

Thank you for all the extra love and support. I'm sorry I'm crying at everything and I'm glad you can laugh at it...except when I'm not and need you to take me seriously. Because, you know, that commercial was really worth crying over.

Dear Gym and Self Motivation,

Keep it up...clothes are getting much looser!

Dear BF,

Thank you for listening and being so supportive while I figure out what to do re:work life. You listening and helping weigh all the pros and cons and not just jumping into fix it mode is much appreciated.

Your very grateful, very stressed girlfriend.

Dear coffee,

I feel like you are broken today,

Dear people I swim with,

Thank you for being awesome. Excited to swim in a meet for the first time in years with you this weekend.

Dear knee, hamstring, and now ankle,

Fix yo'self. I'm going to keep running and you're going to have to deal with it.

Dear life,

I've got a plan for you (a different plan than I had a year ago, but still, a plan). Please work out the way I'm envisioning it. Kthxbai.

Dear work,

Thanks for the constant inflow of stuff (read: job security). That being said, I could use some extra time to do my own stuff, like write a seminar. I only have 20 hours on the clock anyway.

Love,

Grateful employee

Dear seminar,

Finish and rework yourself.

Dear NEY,

If acceptability landed in three broad categories (acceptable, marginal, and unacceptable), would it be considered completely unprofessional to do a seminar that related these to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly? Because I'm seriously considering this.

Dear H,

Thank you for picking up my slack these past two weeks. I've had zero energy to do things around the house and when you offer to do the dishes or take the puppy out, it makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside that you're wanting to help.

Love,

W

Dear potential homes,

I'm hoping this is the last weekend we take to go look at you. I'm super excited to potentially own one of you in the near future so I'm hoping we fall in love with one of you soon!

Love,

Dear Maddux,

I wish I could leave you outside of your crate all day while I'm at work but I just don't trust you lol.

Love,

Dear Friday,

GET HERE NOW!

[Deleted User] · February 2015

Dear H,

I'm so proud of us this morning! I can't believe we've managed to pay off over $20K in debt in just 15 months!! WOO HOO! We are an awesome team...and it feels great to have this burden lifted. Our money is ours again!!!

xoxo,

your adoring partner in life (and BTW, we're winning at life!)

_________________________________________________________________

Dear Mom,

I'm so excited that you're coming for Easter! I've missed you recently...and I need more time together. We're going to have a blast!

Love - Me

_________________________________________________________________

Dear Special Co-Worker Friends,

You are the three sweetest ladies I know and I can't believe you want to throw a shower for me! I really wasn't expecting a shower at the office (especially with the tough last few months we've all had)...and i'm unbelievably grateful and excited.

Thanks for being the best coworkers a girl could have!

_________________________________________________________________

Baby,

I can't believe we're officially in the 3rd trimester! I get to see your beautiful face in our final ultrasound on the 13th...and I can hardly wait to meet you on your birthday! Stay healthy and strong. You'll be in my arms soon!

all the love,

mama

You suck.

No love,

Dear Bed,

I miss you so much. I wish I could just lay around and sleep all day, but I had to get up and go to work. I'll be with you again soon!

All the love,
Coco

minskat30 · February 2015

@allusive007 - MAJOR congrats on paying off that debt. And I'm so excited for you to meet you little one soon.

@southernpeach89 - What does Maddux do when left alone? Our dog used to be aweful but now we just leave a piece of paper towel out (just one or two) and he takes his anger out on that by ripping it into tiny pieces (he never eats them...just rips it up). Wierdo.

@KeptInStitches - I vote acceptable. Besides its a classic.

@cu97tiger - Ouch. Feel better. I was never able to run if it makes you feel any better...even in my early 20s everything fell apart.

@MsSparky - I wish we had a gym with a pool nearby. How fun to do a swim meet!

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@minskat30 hahaha Maddux would totally do that! Lately he has been interested in getting into the trash cans and our laundry baskets. I've had to keep all the doors closed in the house because he will empty out the trash cans and rip up all the used tissue paper. He has also developed a love for socks and he knows how to open up our laundry baskets and get into them to find the socks.

We could possibly leave him out at home without worry of him damaging anything but I don't trust that he will rip apart our clothes and find tissue paper scattered throughout the house.

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@allusive007 - CONGRATS on paying off the debt!! That's so exciting!

@KeptInStitches - Yes. Please, yes. Do it.

@southernpeach89 - I had to start keeping Smudge in her crate when I go out, and I feel absolutely terrible about it because I'm gone for long stretches at a time and because she loves to sit on the arm of the couch and look out the window. But she kept using my guest bedroom as a toilet, and I just couldn't handle it anymore.

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

Dear Mr. H,

JUST SAY NO to Afghanistan. I know that it pays well, and that it would actually advance your future career options, but I don't know if we can handle it again. Also, thanks for buying new curtains for the house!

Love,

Dear coffee,

I has all the loves for you. Why you not working this morning?

Love,

MsSparky · February 2015

@keptInStitches, I vote acceptable.

@CocoBellaF-I'm sorry your thyroid is being uncooperative. Hope you get it figured out, been there, and it can be a real pain in the behind

@allusive007-Double congrats! Paying off that much debt is amazing, and you're so close to meeting your little peanut!

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@minskat30, @futuremrshistorian & @MsSparky - Thanks ladies! It does feel like a big accomplishment. H had a lot of CC debt before we got married and I really didn't want that hanging over our heads. Now we've got to get cracking on his student loans, but I'm not so worried about that. We managed to pay off the CC's while still saving like crazy - so we've also got an emergency stockpile of 6 months worth of expenses saved. It's a huge relief to be in such a good place before the baby comes. (I'm going to drive him crazy, but now i'm super anxious to get the student loans paid off ASAP and truly be debt free except for our mortgage!)

minskat30 · February 2015

@SouthernPeach89 - That made me LOL. Rajah had a love for my bras for a while...pretty humiliating having guests over and Raj running around like a loon with my bra in his mouth....especially since I had just started dating H at the time. He then switched to H's (then BF) socks and shoes and then graduated to paper towel. We gladly leave the paper towel out now.

KeptInStitches · February 2015

@minskat30, @futuremrshistorian, @mssparky - Done. Well, done later when I have time to mess with the seminar again.

Dear Walt Disney World,

I am way too excited about visiting you in November. I need to chill. I mean, I've started looking at Disney shirts and shoes to wear while we're there. I need to back away slowly from the computer...

Dear Resume,

Please update yourself. I really am struggling with updating/redoing you. The creative one always got my foot in the door, but I almost feel it is too junior for the positions I'm going to apply to. GAH why am I such a procrastinator when it comes to this stuff?!

No Love,

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@minskat30 - Smudge loves anything that smells like people, but especially panties. I don't know how she does it, but she can find panties anywhere. It's so embarrassing when I have guests and I have to tell them, "Make sure you zip up your suitcase or my dog will get in there and chew through the crotch of your underpants."

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@eilis1228 - What did you think about Buns??? Drench was fun, I really enjoyed the yoga flow section. I am not as sore today as I am after Buns, though. Today is my off day and tomorrow I'm down for Strength Intervals. It's only 20 minutes so I am going to add on Lower Body because it's my favorite and not on the calendar anymore!

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@Twodimes We are going to put him in obedience school this summer while DH is on break. We haven't registered for it yet though so we probably need to get on that. We only let Maddux in bed with us right before we fall asleep or in the mornings on weekends. We will put him in his crate as we go to bed though. You could probably start doing that and she will eventually get used to it. It's hard though when they are so little and snuggly but I promise once they get big, it's annoying because they take up all the space.

@peekaboo2011 Congrats on the job offer and your amazing raise!!

@southernpeach89 Your stories of Maddux getting in to the trash reminds me of Bella and how she used to make little piles all over the house of trash she had found and torn up.

@TwoDimes What are you tasting this weekend? Do you know?

Are you two on the same page here? I mean, obviously him being in Afghanistan isn't ideal, but I can't imagine telling my SO NOT to take a job, especially one that he might want.

@CocoBellaF Buns was intense! I kept having to stop to get my heart rate down or refill water... walking to the kitchen was not an easy task lol. I think Drench starts next week, and today is Core. Tomorrow is my last official day of Lower Body

[Deleted User] · February 2015

@TwoDimes - we've been talking about names, but nothing officially decided. We love Aubrey for a girl...but no idea what to do for a middle name. We will be using Ellsworth for a middle name if we have a boy (it's a family name that we love), but we are in debate about some first names. Right now it's between Brody, Blake and Morgan.

Dear Bridesmaids,

You guys are beyond amazing. I can't believe that everyone gets along so well and there aren't any problems! I am kind of embarrassed (and it's silly and I'm not sure why) that you guys keep on asking about my bridal shower and who is throwing one for me. I don't have anyone throwing one for me. Now, you guys want to throw me a shower. I don't need a shower, but it would be lovely to have one. I'm thankful for anything you guys do for me- shower or no shower.

@twodimes - and now I'm HUNGRY!

I've had one other person mention that Ellsworth could be used for a girl...and I have to admit it's growing on me. I may mention it to H and see what he thinks.

and I can't remember if i'm spelling Ellsworth right. I feel like it might actually be Ellisworth...but i'm not sure. I'll have to ask H about that too.

@twodimes I am drooling over the truffle and brie mac & cheese. I had a truffle and gouda mac and cheese the other day, and it was the best mac and cheese I've ever had.

@allusive007 I love your names choices! I knew a girl named Aubrey Mae, which I think sounds really pretty.

@futuremrshistorian I know his job has caused a lot of heartache for you, but do you have a plan if he does choose Afghanistan?

Dear amazing handy-man boyfriend,

I love that you have done the home remodel all by yourself, and love that you're asking me to help you now (and teaching me how to use power tools). Also, thank you for realizing that I am having a huge desire to decorate and asking me to make all of our curtains. I cannot wait till our house is finished and we can finally move in. Also, please agree to not work on your birthday so I can plan a birthday trip.

Love always, your super crafty girlfriend

Dear best friend,

Can't believe the baby will be here tomorrow! I know how hard this pregnancy has been for you, but it is almost over. And since you can eat until midnight I bought you a box of thin mints. We can eat them while we watch bad tv after munchkin goes to bed.

Deep breaths. You got this Love you so much! -Your bestest friend

Dear niece,

Please be on your best behavior tonight and tomorrow. I've heard about the meltdowns you've been having. I have lots of fun things planned for us to do before we go to the hospital to meet your brother/sister, but those fun things are only for good girls.

Love your Aunt Bookstore
