Dear Body,
Please stop this insane run of pains that you have decided to inflict upon me the past week...a 2-day migraine, followed by a tweak in my shoulder blade/neck is not how I wanted to start my week off. Please get it all out of your system before my trip to Alabama on Friday to see my brother!!
Thanks,
Your fed-up inhabitant/recipient of pain
Dear MIL,
Thank you SO MUCH for telling us YESTERDAY that you will be flying in to NH TODAY, and plan on staying with us. We really appreciate the thought and courtesy that went into that. We also appreciate that you're coming just two months after we moved into our house, and therefore are not 100% settled yet.
Signed,
Is she leaving yet?
I know I was yearning for some time off after spending all weekend cleaning and cooking, but getting sick was not the way I hoped to get it. So you can take this fever and sore throat and shove it where the sun don't shine. Errr, on second thought, just make it disappear.
Thx,
Bleargh...

Dear Mom and Dad,
Please, for the love of all that is holy, settle the alimony and child support dispute. I'm so tired of dealing with this crap and being used as a pawn.
Warm Regards,

Dear Ver.izon,
Why didn't you tell me that the second phone line I was adding was going to be on copper and not FiO.S? The line is unusable because of static, so now I need to call you again and ask you to send out FiO.S techs to switch it over. Thankfully I WAH now so this isn't really inconvenient but really, this should have been something you brought up during our lengthy chat.

Dear: I'm not sure who
Please let us figure out this house stuff. I can't keep living in limbo. We have a baby coming in about 2 months and we have no nursery set up and no idea where that nursery will be. I need a FINAL answer SOON! The bank needs to give us a yes or no, the sellers need to give us the same. I am DONE!

Dear Wyoming Drivers,
A failure to plan on your part does not constitute worry on my part. I am not obligated to fix your procrastination problems today, I have enough work to do on my own. Please plan ahead next time.

Dear business partner,
I love you lots, but I don't want to have a "meeting" on Friday night, even if it involves wine. My house is a wreck and my husband is OOT all week. I'm also traveling Saturday and Sunday, so Friday night at home in my sweats and parked on the couch in my disheveled house is really where I want to be and what I want to be doing on my Friday night.
Love,
Your business partner
Dear H,
It has been almost a month and a half since we moved into our new place. For the love of everything holy, clean the sh!t out of our carport. It's REALLY embarrassing when a neighbor knocks on our door and asks us if we're having a sale, because we have so much stuff just laying around. I pretty much unpacked our entire house, set everything up, organized everything, and I really don't think I'm asking too much by wanting you to find a home for our elliptical, lawn chairs and a few other random boxes. Oh, and please don't act put out when I not-so-nicely remind you to do so. Again, it's been a month and a half.
Sincerely,
Your frustrated wife
Dear Neighborhood Association:
I really want to be there tomorrow to support you and also help in the presentation. However, given the fact it is less than 24 hrs until the commission meeting and you have yet to even give us the presentation to even COMMENT on, makes me think you are pulling this one out of your a$$. I cancelled a night out with the girls for this. Me thinks I might be having a nice dinner with my hubby instead.

Dear FSIL -
Buying a bridesmaid dress on clearance was a nice idea when it comes to expense. However, when the dress in question is no longer available in the sizes your bridesmaids need because it's 3 seasons old, you might have wanted to rethink your idea and not just waited until a couple months before the wedding to deliver the dresses.
Love,
These boobs ain't getting any smaller in the next 3 months.
Dear house,

Dear Facebook,
Stop trying to force me into your stupid "Top Stories" viewing method. I'm sick of always changing it (and sometimes not being able to change it when your iPhone app is being a pain) and I can't understand why in the world you think that should be the default instead of chronological order. If I didn't get so bored in traffic, I'd have GBCFB a long time ago.
