Open Letter Time: Dear _____
Dear Neighbor,
I get it, you have a good dog. He is a border collie and very smart. I also get that my dog is a lab, she is encourageable. She is also only freaking 5 and a half months old so give me a freaking break. Stop telling DH how worried you are for when we have babies because of all the stories you have heard of other labs. I know my dog is bad right now, but she is a PUPPY. We are working on it.
Thanks,
-A
Re: Open Letter Time: Dear _____
Please stop being a bottomless pit. You should be full after a cup of tea, a packet of oatmeal, 4 Hershey kises, and a ham and cheese sandwich. You are not getting anything else to eat until we get home, except maybe a few more Kisses throughout the afternoon.
Dear Co-Irker,
Don't be surprised if I start strangling you with your mouse cord. If you don't stop saying "I was gonna say" and "yeah, yeah, yeah" after anything someone else tells you because you have no clue what is going on I am going to snap. The constant clearing of your throat, your use of speaker-phone to dial a number only to pick up the receiver as soon as the person answers, and your extremely loud laughing are not helping your situation with me and our other cubemate.
Dear People Who Don't RSVP to Invitations,
When someone is kind enough to invite you to an event and requests that you RSVP, do it! What is so freaking difficult? Don't assume that the host should assume that if you don't RSVP that it means that you're not coming. It's incredibly rude to just ignore the invite and not respond.

Dear self,
Think of more stocking stuffers for your DH.
Thanks,
Summer
Dear DH,
Way to go telling me you're excited about my stocking stuffers; now I feel stressed to come up with ideas for more/better ones for you and finding time to buy them.
Love,
Summer
Dear Aleesh's neighbor, get a life, seriously!!
Dear MIL please, please please have food I can stand to look at on Christmas Eve, I know we will have a tradtional Polish meal but I haven't come out yet, can't eat fish and if your pierogi's have onions in them I will walk out.
Dear mall please provide me with 4 quick and easy gifts to purchase for my family and friends tonight.
Thanks and um yeah I am kind of freaking out and thinking I don't have very much.
Oh and Summer I need stocking stuffers for my Nick too! And Daisy! I'm such a bad mom/wife this year.
Dear weather,
you better not eff with the roads tomorrow between here and MI... or else.
Dear aleesh's neighbor,
your just jealous your dog isn't as cute. Suck it.

Dear husband, I am almost positive we said that our limit would be around $100 bucks, I think you are lying when you say that you thought we agreed this is the last year to splurge. How can I compete with the fact that you tripled what I thought was our original limit.
Miscommunication much?? ugh
I actually waited until Drew said he knew what he was getting me. I chose that moment to "confirm" what our limit had been set at. He always goes over, and then I feel guilty because the gifts feel uneven. Not this year!

Dear Meyer Lemon Cookies On My Desk,
You and I both know how bad you are for me, and how much butter and sugar are in you. Stop eyeing me with those come-hither stares. I need to put on a bathing suit in a week.
Dear weather,
I know people are talking about the whole White Christmas thing. I get it. Really I do. But if my flight to Maryland on Thursday, my flight home from Maryland on Sunday night, my flight to Mexico through Atlanta on Monday morning and my fligth home from Mexico on New Years Day get effed up because of that whole White Christmas thing, I'm going shove this lemon cookie where the sun don't shine.
My problem now is I have zero clue what to get him. So far I got him slippers, the magic bullet, and an Avalanche Onsie. The man buys what he needs/wants. I, on the other hand wait and wait to buy myself stuff so he had a lot to pick from of things I actually need. Ugh I think part of his gift will be getting his hockey mask re-padded but he has to do that because he sends it to some guy in Canada.
What are you or did you get your dh?
Dear Mother Nature,
Is the snow falling from the sky, which you know I loathe driving in, a sign that I shouldn't go to the dentist?? I'm trying to rationalize a good excuse to get out of it. Perhaps if you make the snow fall harder, I'll know that it's a definite sign that I should stay snuggly in the house.
Love, This girl who doesn't want to get her gums poked at.

Ha! Actually, it's not my party. It's my in-laws' annual NYE party that they are always extremely generous about. It's free food and top shelf alcohol all night. Several of mine and Rob's friends were invited by my in-laws and didn't respond. It just infuriates me.
Dear Gusto puppy,
I"m sorry you hate the basement, because it's cold and you're a wimp. I put a sweatshirt on you so you would be warmer, and now you're sulking about wearing a sweatshirt. Would you rather be freezing? Also, please stop covering the entire air vent when you sleep at night. I realize warm air comes from there, but I would like to feel that warm air too.
Thanks,
Your momma!
ps, if you could also stop eating poo, and trying to give me kisses afterwards... it's gross.
Dear world,
Someone please adopt this last puppy of ours. He's amazing, and house broken, and adorable. He can sit, stay, wait, come. And he's only 16 weeks old! He really deserves the best home.
Hurry up!
