Dear 5:00,

Please come as soon as you can without delay. You're the only reason I woke up this morning.

Dear A-hole Driver in the Tan Beater,

Thanks for providing me a little bout of road rage when you made it almost impossible for me to get back into the right line to get my exit. You really got my adrelaine going...something near impossible before I've had my coffee.

  • Dear icy weather,

    I'm p!ssed at you for not coming to see me. You left us teetering on the edge of freezing only to not show up at the end. So we get rain, ice pellets but 34 degree weather to keep the roads and state offices open. You are cruel and I hate you.

    No Love,

    Leigha

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • Dear boss,

    Thanks for sending me 3 hours of work to do last night even though you knew I left 1 hour early to go get an MRI. 

    Your overworked employee 

    P.S. Thanks for not looking at any of the oh-so-important, must get done work this morning when I came in early.

    Dear MRI technician,

    Learn how to insert an IV... yes my veins are small but its not that hard, I do manage to give blood on a regular basis.  Why is you - who works at a hospital and probably does it everyday - can't manage to find a vein twice, in the back of my hand?  My hand looks like I beat it with a hammer this morning.

    Thanks for the bruises,

    Jen

  • Dear 3:30,

    Please hurry up and get here. I love getting to leave early on Fridays especially when a 3 day weekend awaits. I have plans tonight with two good friends that I haven't seen in a while. Plus, I know the sooner you get here the sooner my DH has to go to work, and I really need some ME time. He has been driving me up the wall the last couple days. So bring it on 3:30.

    Love,

    Selfish Kaley

  • Dear Mother Nature,

    You're a b1tch.  No more snow on Monday, please and thank you.

     

    Love, Philly.

  • Dear body,

    Thanks for falling apart on my 27th birthday. The dying-in-bed of swine flu this week has been awesome. The fevers, constant vomiting, and congestion were such a thoughtful present for all the time we've spent together. Oh, and I really did not want to go to wine tasting in SONOMA this weekend. Nope. Not even a little bit. So thanks for sparing me the hassle of packing.

    F OFF,

    Ro

    p.s. While I'd usually thank you for the bonus weight loss that comes when you malfunction, dropping me down into double digits IS NOT OK. Thanks for making me Calista f*cking Flockhart overnight.

    Dear Mr. Choo,

    I'm sorry I woke you up 80 times every night this week. I cannot thank you enough for never complaining. Thanks for spooning me during the chills, pulling the covers off when I'm drenched, and bringing me mouth wash every time I puke. Marrying you was the best decision I ever made.

    I love you so...

    Your formerly adorable wife

  • Dear Apartment Manager,

    Thanks so much for breathing down my neck about the "clutter" in our apartment as we pack, and reminding us how it does not "comply with lease standards" for apartment showings. I guess you do not realize that the reason we are moving is because we have outgrown your tiny apartment, and literally have no room to put anything. I'm sorry that a neat stack of boxes is not tidy enough for you. It is nice to know that I am basically not allowed to pack until I am supposed to be out of the apartment (or you will charge me an extra months rent for the "clutter")... And that if I am not moved out in time you will charge me an extra months rent for that. Thanks for giving me little choice but to be royally screwed over by you. 

    And please tell your incompetent maintenance staff to fix the drain that they failed to unclog last week.

    - Thankfully, your soon-to-be former tenant

  • Dear Job,

    I'd really appreciate having something to do.  I hate having to sit here all day feeling like I'm wasting my time. 

    Thanks,

  • Dear little sister,

    Do not send me texts at work attacking me, then expect me to not defend myself.  I realize you don't like what I have to say but you have caused a lot of hurt feelings over the years and I will not continue to candy coat everything I say to you while you are allowed to speak to me however you wish.  I love you but I will not be treated like shiit even if you are my family. 

    Big Sis who has done more for you than you will ever realize.

    Dear Co-worker,

    We live in MN.  It snows here.  You chose to live in the outermost suburbs knowing your job is downtown.  If you are unable to drive in 1" of snow you either need to move to a tropical location or within walking distance of your current job.  And it is really hard to take you seriously when you say you need help yet leave early (by a few hours) at least 3 days a week. 

    Your irritated co-worker.

    Dear hubby,

    I love you.  I can't wait to curl up with you most of the weekend.  It's been a long week and you have not once blamed things on my pregnancy or hormones.  You understand that I am trying to stay sane but can only take so much when our families provoke.

    Love,

    Your grateful wife

  • Dear Baby K,

    So excited to hear that you are a girl! Your parents are so excited for your arrival.  Please continue to grow and stay healthy!  See you in June.

    Love,

    Auntie F 

     Ps. Please convince your dad to paint your mom's toe nails, she can't reach them anymore!

  • Dear Snotty Psychology Student Classmate,

    You are not as smart as you think you are.  I wrote nice comments on your presentation because I knew you were reading them, not because I meant them.  For you to turn around and write judgmental things to me goes against the nature of our live-and-let-live relationship.  That means this is on.  I will not let your stupid, biased, smartypants comments go unchallenged in class anymore.  I hope you choke on your self-righteousness.

    Sincerely,

    Your much maligned classmate

  • Dear Graduate School,

    Please stop sucking. I don't have the energy for this anymore.

  • Dear In-Laws,

    I am happy that you are driving to visit DH and me for the holiday weekend; however, please keep in mind that it is our first Valentine's Day as a married couple and our last without a child. I would appreciate having some alone time for at least a few hours this weekend.

    Dear IRS,

    Thanks for the quick turnaround in getting our tax refund to us! Even though I'll remember to change my exemptions for next year so you're not holding on to so much of our money throughout the year, I appreciate this boon to the wallet mid-month.

    Dear daycares in our city,

    Stop telling me it's against DCFS regulations to cloth diaper. It's clearly not. I am quite informed and read the regulations myself, which state that you pretty much have to do it if I supply everything. Andplusalso, stop charging so much for your services. I wasn't expecting an additional mortgage payment every month.
