Dear...
...Air Conditioner - Last year, I paid $150 to fix you. Today I am paying over $400 to fix you again. STOP NEEDING FIXING.
...Guy - Sorry you're having to deal with a broken a/c on your birthday, along with my mom being at the house, AND scheduling your appointment for the snip. I hope your 29th birthday gets better.
...Mom - next time you plan to stay the night for two nights, please tell me in advance. K, thanks.
...El - Love you, kid. Sorry the house was so hot last night and I'm sorry your Nana kept you up until 10pm.
Re: Dear...
Dear neighbor,
I really don't appreciate that you've been letting your cat roam the neighborhood all day, everyday. It is disturbing my dog. I've seen your cat on my deck and sitting right outside my front door. My small dog is afraid of your cat and therefore will not go outside for potty breaks any time she sees your cat. PLEASE keep your cat indoors during the day or go outside with it. You don't see Lola on your property unleashed, do you? Ok then.

Dear gchat,
Please work. I'm not sure why I keep getting an error message, but it's not cool.
halfway house's IT dept,
If you just blocked gchat from me, I might get violent. I'm not your employee, leave me alone. I'm going to go back to my wireless device if you keep blocking my time-wasters.
Dad- I'm really sorry for whats been happening in your life lately and I really hope it gets better soon. In the meantime, try not to take it out on my mom.
Mom- Sorry to say this, but you take stuff out on me too. Its human nature, and I hope these tough times pass quickly.
ADT Man- thank you for fixing our alarm even though I felt like a total idiot.
Rocksie- I know you want to run, but seriously, you have a torn ACL. RELAX. And stop making me feel guilty.
Husband- Thank you for finally painting. But when I asked, "You'll have at least the living room/dining room and spare room painted by October when Amelia comes, right?" that wasnt really a question. It better be done.
Hair- feel free to grow faster, I wanted it longer for the wedding next week, and I might want to do a mom chop in November, but I won't if you don't get longer so I can enjoy it before I chop it all off again!
Baby B- I love feeling the swirls and flips! It's really throwing me off though how some days I'll look really show-y and bump-y and then I stand infront of the mirror in the morning with a flat tummy. It confuses me, but I'll take it. Also, can't wait to hear your heartbeat again tomorrow at our appointment!
ps- i hope you arn't freaked out that in honor of you being the size of an avocado this week, we're having a homemade salsa/queso/guacamole fest today!
Mom- I hope you are looking for a place to live between your games of solitare... because we need you out by the 15th...
Hubs - telling my that I don't get a 30th birthday party this year because you didn't get one last year kind of hurt my feelings. I know you were joking...but then a part of me is pretty sure you weren't.
Fates - for once, please be on our side. By the end of summer I would really like for us to live in Oregon where we have friends and family, Hubs will be in a new job that doesn't suck out his soul on a daily basis, and we'll live in one of the houses that I've had my eye on for over a month now that I'm surprised are still for rent. I'm fairly positive that sanity and happiness are completely reliant on these things happening.
Dear DH, I wish you were a little more sensitive this week. Telling me that I don't need to be sad about seeing my tremendously pregnant friend today (2 days before my EDD) because "she won't be pregnant much longer anyway" is really not helpful. I'm sad, I deserve to be sad, and dismissing my sadness is not therapeutic.
Dear time, please fast forward to Sunday. I think I'll feel a little better once I get past Saturday.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Dear halfway house IT people:
I've essentially confirmed that you've blocked all chat functions. This makes me very angry. I'm not one of your employees. My productivity is none of your damnn business. I get all of my work done. My supervisor has access to my account on OUR network and can see when I'm behind on paperwork, which is like, NEVER. So until she contacts you and says "is Lindsay not being productive? Block the only thing that keeps her sane during the day." LEAVE ME THE EFF ALONE. I'd rather you block TN than my gchat. I could at least Nest from my phone. I hate you. And I don't care if you're reading this right now. *gives the finger to the IT people*

Dear weather- make up your mind- days its not supposed to rain it does- days its supposed to rain it doesnt. This doesnt make me happy
Mark - realize that when you come home that you should offer to take the baby once in a while. I know you are trying to get everything done in limited time at the house, however, I am needing a break once in a while.
Charlotte- thank you for taking a bottle and breast and not killing me too much with that feeding stuff. You make me feel a little less terrible about not exclusively breast feeding
weight- thank you for going away but feel free to tell my hips and stomach to go back to normal- I would like to wear normal clothes (all of them) soon.
stretch marks- thanks for not showing up during pregnancy but coming after its over NOT FAIR- go away promptly.
work- I know I am on maternity leave and you should realize that too- take care of your own issues. I will be back in August.
H- I get that you had a stressful day with your interview, but walking the dog while talking to your friends and coming in to play xbox while simultaneously nagging me about starting dinner is not cool. You got home 90 min before I did and while I appreciate you walking the dog, I do it every day and make dinner, etc. While I'm prepping the meat you should ASK if I need any help instead of me having to ask you repeatedly about unloading the dishwasher. Courtesy, not that difficult to manage.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Dear
~bronchitis--you suck. The only good thing about you is that I have a cough syrup with a narcotic in it so I will be able to sleep through the night tonight.
~dogs--I love you to death and I understand with me being sick since we got home from Gettysburg I've been pretty much neglecting you. I'm sorry, but please stop play fighting in the living room right next to my ear. I get your "subtlety," I really do, but I have neither the energy nor the motivation to play with you.
~last day of work tomorrow--please don't be my last day of work forever. I'd like to have a job next year...hopefully at the same place.
~washing machine--why the hell did you have to break right when we got home from vacation when we need to get laundry done?? Just because I spent the weekend "going back in time" doesn't mean I would like to break out the washboard and basin.
~Lowes--please be awesome to me when I go in tomorrow to buy a new laundry machine.
~corn on the cob--you are delicious. I love you.
Samma -- please fall asleep. =/
Sushi -- please taste as delicious as I want you to. It's been a long time since I had sushi last, and I could use a few good rolls...
