Re: Open Letter Tuesday
Dear Body,
Way to go with losing 3.6 lbs. That rocked.
-Happy me
Dear work,
you are overwhelming me and I have a headache.... I wasn't going to take monday off... now, if I can, I will for sure.
- needs some down time
Dear foster pup,
Please don't scratch your head! I don't want to put you in a cone but if you keep scratching and cutting yourself, I totally will. I know you itch and I am doing everything I can to help!
-Foster pug mom
Dear rest of the week,
please go by fast
smoochies - mrsreaux
Dear stupid co worker,
Yes, I have a makeup drawer at work - NO that does NOT mean that you come to MY desk and open the drawer and use some of MY lipgloss -- gross, now my lipgloss is ruined and I can't use it anymore....I have no idea where your lips have been. The key to my desk has a new hiding spot just try to find it now!
grossed out mrsreaux
Hottie lawn service dude in the white truck this morning,
Yes, you are hot - and it was fun laughing at your antics....alas, I am an old married lady but I can still look!
amused mrsreaux
Mrs. Reaux,
I can't believe someone would have the nerve to use your lipgloss without your permission. Yuck!

DH,
We are making so much progress with our early morning jogs! Thanks for ignoring my grouchiness and dragging me out of bed. I never regret getting up that early after I'm out there jogging.
- Your workout buddy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DH,
Seriously, this time. No alcohol at home until after our vacation. We do not need those extra calories right now. 3 weeks. We can do it.

Dear Job,
Thanks for giving me Thursday AND Friday off. I am beyond excited
- Happy Employee
Dear Wedding Dress,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fit.... I have my entire bridal entourage coming to watch me put you on for the first time. If you do not fit, I am going to die.
- Worried Bride
Dear MrsReaux's Co-Worker,
You are gross. Blech.
- Lady
Lone Star Baby,
While I am happy the crib and dresser came so quickly/early I will be even more happy if you honor your price match guarantee. We put down a hefty deposit on these items and I just did a search on the current prices and it appears they all went down across the board. I would appreciate if give me this discount as well.
Sincerely,
Your worst enemy customer if you try to cross me
Dear body,
You're not pregnant so why the delay in period!? Hurry up and get regular again!
Thanks,
Me
Dear Beach,
I look at pictures almost every day of you from last year. I'm counting down the days until we can be together again.
Love.
Dear Aprillllllllle - (just felt like doing a little throwback there!
Did the coworker do this WHILE you were sitting there? Just walk up and use it? NASTY!!!!
Dear life - SLOW DOWN, PLEASE!!!!!!
Dear heat - Please disappear this weekend. I'm supposed to go camping and I'm dreading it.
Dear RJ -
hey!!!! no I caught the co irker doing it!
this place is probably nothing like how you remember it - so much change. L is still here and everytime I go down to her office it cracks me up because now she has a TV on her desk that she always has on.
Dear Mom,
Sorry I said that I would NEVER be like you when I grew up. Guess what? I lied. I guess I'm a lot like you actually. When that too-big-to-be-in-the-play-area boy pushed Jackson down, I couldn't help the nasty look I shot in his direction
Dear Parent of Rude Boy,
Where are you? You just left your 7 or 8 year old son in the mall play area alone? Shame on you! And the shame on him for picking on a 14 month old!!!
Dear Baby T,
Please stay put and be okay at our next appointment. I have no reason to worry about you and no signs that anything is wrong, but yet I am in an almost constant state of worry that you won't be there next time we go to the doctor. I'm sorry - I'm trying to be a calm mommy.
- Mommy
Dear School,
Thank the Lord you are almost over.
- Worn out student
Dear Next Two Weeks,
Go by FAST!
- Me
Dear DH,
?I can't believe it'll be 3 years of marriage tomorrow! ?Time has flown by since our wedding day. ?It was fun, as always, to have lunch at our reception site today and see the couple across the room planning their own wedding, remembering when that was us. ?Even though I have class all day tomorrow, I'm still very excited to eat our replica wedding cake and for you to open your gift! ?And then onto our real anniversary date on Friday night at Abacus and catching some fireworks afterwards. ?I can't remember the last time we were able to celebrate like this--probably our anniversary last year!
?It's been the hardest year yet for us, between my grad school and migraines and your unemployment, we were stretched to the limit at times. ?But, I love you more than ever and am so happy that things are coming back around and getting better. ?There's no one I'd rather be on this adventure with than you. ?Our marriage has grown by leaps and bounds since a year ago. Thank you for loving me and supporting me no matter what. ?You help me be a better version of me.
Always,
Your Wife?
Dear evenings~~
Please stop going by so fast, I have things I need to get done and watch shows in the DVR. I turn around and its midnite---ahhhhh where did you go?
Sincerely,
Need more hours in the day
Dear DH~~
Thank you for handling all the wedding registry issues.
Sincerely,
The one who doesn't want to organize a thing for at least 6 months!
Dear Skype,
I love you. Even though I can't be with my whole family at the beach vacation this year, it was fun to talk to them and see them too!
Dear computer, I wasn't done typing my msg above, and what is with the "a" button not working right- ugh! I want DH to come home soon b/c he has MY mac that works well- you are annoying and slow!
Dear DH,
I miss you. Hurry home from your Singapore trip- we have big milestone to celebrate this weekend! 1 year ago on Sat we were in Belize saying "I Do" and having the time of our lives. I love you more now than I did then, without a doubt. I am so blessed to have you as my DH. Can't believe a year later we are in Japan, expecting a baby, and loving life. You are amazing, & I love you with all my heart. Happy 1 year!
-your loving wifey
Dear Work,
YOU SUCK! This place is becoming increasingly shady and I can't wait to leave to teach. Why start monitoring our computer use today? Really, you expect us to not check e-mail or do anything not work related? What are we meant to do while we wait hours a day on the database to load?
Sincerely,
Employee who's had enough
Dear Nesties,
Because my job is stupid, I will not be on as much. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up at night.
Love,
Nest Addict
