WTF Wednesday
Open letters? I'll start.
Dear H,
Just because your wisdom teeth were "not hurting" before, doesn't mean you shouldn't have gotten them removed. Now you're in agony and the dentist can't fit you in until Monday. Good job. I love you, but WTF.
Dear Nosey Woman Who "Drops By" the Office Every Day,
Yes, my boss has been away for a week and a half. NO, that does NOT mean you come in every day and drive me crazy. BTW, I'm telling him tomorrow morning that a) you came in every day that he was gone and b) that you still have a key to the office after he told you to turn it in. Ha ha.
Dear Current Apartment,
I just can't get it up to clean you or pack you right now. I hate you as I haven't hated an apartment in a LONG time. I can't wait until we're out of there.
Dear Future Apartment,
Why can't April 1 be NOW?

Re: WTF Wednesday
Baystate, my H has done that exact same thing with his wisdom teeth! It's frustrating.
Dear iron pills,
I never loved taking you. You made me feel sick whenever I took you. Now that my bloodwork came back normal, I don't have to take you anymore. This is one break-up that I'm not sad about.
See ya!
Dear DH,
When I tell you that I want to eat healthier, don't assume that means I want to order a salad from a restaurant for dinner. I'd much rather go home and cook my own food so I know exactly what is going into it. You want to eat healthier too, so let's get on the ball and stop going out to eat. You're not helping me in my quest to get fit. I love you, just please try to be more supportive.
Love,
Your wife
Dear Work,
Stop sucking. Seriously. We are not friends right now. You could be more forth coming with information than you have been. I really dislike making my own assumptions and then looking like an arse for it.

Dear Self,
Stop waking up in the middle of the night every few hours or so for no reason. It's not cool and you wake up tired. And if you stopped gaining weight for no apparent reason, that would be nice, too.

Dear March 11,
I'm tired of my job, and ready to move on... hurry up, last day, so I can move on to bigger and better things!
Dear manager who sits next to me,
REALLY, you are going to pretend I don't exist? I'm glad to know you are 12 years old again. It's not hurting my feelings, and everyone is laughing at you because of your silly behavior. Everyone leaves a job at one time or another, so get over it.
Dear DH,
I know last night was an accident, but our butting heads episode (literally) is only slightly funny in hindsight, and my goose-egg still hurts. A lot. But I still love you, and it was really cute how you hugged me and apologized after we bonked heads.
Dear work-
Plate is fricking full. Leave me alone. Tired beyond tired of getting up at 5 am and getting home after 7. I hate you like no job before. Seriously - you freak out when I leave my desk to pee. I suppose if you want total efficiency out of me you should get me a porta-potty that connects directly to my task chair and set up an IV full of red bull or something. Just saying. Stop taking advantage of everyone under 50 who knows how to use their stupid computers and figure it out yourselves. I don't enjoy this and the little passion I have for design is slowly dying with your abuse. But if you send me to HI for that upcoming job, I'll forgive you for a little bit as I charge Tiki drinks by the pool to my expense account.
Ciao
me
(BTW - I loves WTFW so I can rant like this)
Dear Work,
When you make demands like, "Get your tools working in India by Friday," you should really have everything else that the tools are dependent on working *first.* This is not rocket science. My job is not to fix the environment in India. For that matter, why can't they just VNC into a machine here instead of making it work in India for 5 people?!! Technology, folks. If I can VNC to India, they can VNC here!!! If I have to file another ticket on this matter, I'm going to scream. I have other work to do. Oh, by the way, since I'm doing all this path clearing, when the frak am I gonna get a raise? I am so ready for vacation.
Love,
Frazzled girl in need of mai tai on the beach
Dear Puppy,
I'll miss you next week. Be good at the puppy pet hotel. I know 9 days is a long time. Hopefully they treat you good and you make some good friends during the play dates. Maybe I'll even get you a doggie ice cream treat! I'm sure you could guilt me into it.
Love,
Momma
Dear Vacation,
I can't wait to meet you on Saturday. I am beyond excited about it (except leaving my puppy behind). Please don't disappoint me.
Love,

Dear BCP -
I am counting down the days until you are no longer in my system - I always have headaches and my sex drive is non existant thanks to you - 3 more days until we part ways for good!
- Frustrated Female
Dear Work -
Thanks for adding another 20 calls per day to my plate for the next 2 months, while leaving my existing requirements in place...ugh.
- Annoyed
Dear Self -
I'm so glad we decided to re-join Weight Watchers and I'm totally loving the new points plus system - lets stick with it this time, and work on finding variety within meals so we dont get so sick of the same foods this time. Yours truly,
- Hopefully slim for summer

Dear Best Friend,
I cannot even thank you enough for doing all you do for me. If it weren't for you, my downstairs would be a filthy pig sty. Thankfully, it is clean and on it's way to being spotless so I can breathe easier at night not being embarrassed about how my house looks. You are truly one of the best friends anyone can ask for and I'm so thankful for you!
Grateful and Appreciative Best Friend
Dear baby Roxy (the cat queen of the house),
You really need to grow out of your kitten ways. You are almost one year old and you still claw me and get into everything, yet you look to unbelievably cute to resist when I'm made at you and then you come up and cuddle next to me. STOP IT. it's too hard to train you when you're so stinking adorable.
your adopted mommy
Dear Pregnancy Pains,
We have a really strong love/hate relationship!! I love that I'm pregnant, but I HATE that you are sticking around and I don't want to deal with you! Please subside soon before I think I'm crazy.
