Re: Dear _____________ Thursday
Dear Body, Mind power and Scale,
If you could keep working together like you have been, maybe just a little faster, I would very much appreciate it! We just have 14 more pounds to be at wedding weight. We can do it!
Thanks!
Dear World,
If you could send a great, well paying job closer to home for DH, that would be great. I know he's not going to do a lot to go looking for one so, I really need you to send it to him on a firecracker. The good news is that he seems receptive to a job change right now.
Thanks

Dear dermatologist,
Please be kind. I know I pick at my face too much, and my chin is inexplicably hairy. I just want Neutrogena-commercial skin, and I want you to tell me how to get it.
I am also secretly hoping you tell me to go out and buy a Clarisonic, because those things just look cool.
Just ... don't make me feel like a post-menopausal beast at 32, because that's what the last woman who gave me a facial did.
Thanks,
Me
Dear dh,
Thank you for hopping on the train and meeting me for a bday lunch. So sweet
me
Dear Vegas,
Get ready for a fun-filled weekend
-overly excited 25 year old
I got one yesterday from dh for my bday. I haven't used it yet but will let ya know how it goes
Dear Me,
I know you're scared and frustrated with how things might go tomorrow, but you have to keep your chin up. You're used to a certain way things go and this is just a wrench in the scheme of things. It's not your fault that this is happening, at all. You've survived worse than this and you will again. Things will be OK, you have to have faith.
Love, Me (for Nesties: the baby and J are fine - this has to do with work)
Dear Pants,
Thank you for staying up even though I unbuttoned you hours ago.
Dear Wendy's Frosty,
You are so delicious. I haven't had one of you in a thousand years and you are so good.
Dear weekend,
I know MIL was looking forward to visiting us and I'm sorry something came up, but I'm pretty excited to be able to stay in PJ's all weekend if I want to and not have to entertain anyone.
Dear Co-irker,
When I sent my TA for supplies that you're not using, why didn't you send them? Why did I then need to go BACK the next day to get what I needed only to find that you had multiples??? Jeez! My job is stressful enough as it is! You really don't need to add to it!
Oh, it's a fun day around here
Dear Firewall;
Why won't you let me send e-mail from my personal accounts? You let me receive them but not reply and it's really annoying.
Frustrated e-mailer
Dear tech;
How did you even get your job (and why are you allowed to keep it) when you cannot answer above question to firewall nor any other computer questions, nor do you try to find the answers? Just keep looking at me like you think I'm making things up and then run away scared when I tell you I'm working on a mac.

Dear credit union:
Please fix the issue with my car payment. I never thought paying an additional amount towards principal only (like I had stated) was going to be such a hassle.

Dear tooth:
Please not force me to have a root canal. We have already have spent close to $3K with DH's teeth (as a result of him not going to the dentist for over 10 yrs, but still). I already shelled out $1,000 for IF treatments and $500 for our cat. I just want to be able to save more $$ so our efund is not drained.
Dear neighbors:
You suck. Big time. We have talked to you repeatedly about the noise level from your place. We are am sick of the yelling, screaming, the slamming of doors, windows, etc. We are going to be notifying the landlord of this and your cats. Keeping us up all hours of the night is not cool. Oh and you mention you don't like kids? Well, I will make a point of our niece coming over every.time. she is fussy or cranky.

The appt went well, and she said that while she loves the Clarisonic and uses it herself, it's an optional for me, not a requirement. She suggested I wait a few months to see what the meds she prescribed do, then make my decision.
Dear Mom's dog,
While you are an adorable and ridiculously sweet and loving rescue dog, I do not like that you are "warning" biting my mom randomly. The fact that the vet called me last night expressing concern has freaked me out. I know my mom is attached to you and liable to make light of things, but make no mistake that my mom comes first and you will be sent to a new home if you keep it up. I hope it resolves itself because I know it will break my mom's heart if she has to give you away, and I know it will break mine if you hurt her.

Dear Former Employer,
You keep saying you want to hire me back, but since we've started talking about the possibility two months ago, there have been no progress. I've told you that I will start looking elsewhere, but you keep telling me to wait. I am thisclose to telling you to screw yourselves.
Best,
Impatient in the East Bay
Dear neighbors' dog,
I say this with affection, because I really do like you a lot. But please, stop being such an a$$hole and an instigator when our dog is in the back yard. You two should be able to be on opposite sides of the fence in relative peace. And don't worry, I've already had a talk with Miss Instigator on my side of the fence.
Your loving neighbor.
Dear Aunt,
Yes, I'm ignoring your phone calls and yes, I am mad at you so please leave me alone. Once I get over being mad at you I'll give you a call.
Your irritated niece.
Dear MIL,
Please stop buying and giving us crap. We do not need plastic yellow vases with plastic yellow flowers, nor aprons I will never wear, nor your own stained gross blankets. I realize this is your way of showing you care, so I've decided to stop fruitlessly trying to convince you otherwise. If I were braver, I would tell you that it makes the anti-consumerist in me sick and half of it goes to Goodwill anyway.
Signed,
Your dil, who already has three full closets.
