Dear Knotties,
What do you have today?
Dear Allergies,
Go away! I feel like there is a feather duster stuck up my nose this morning.

Dear Government-
I am not trying to take away from removing one of the country's biggest threats, but shouldn't we really start focusing on some domestic issues like healthcare, unemployment and economy?
Just wondering.

Dear FB friends-
Did OBL die????

Dear Work-
You should be giving me my life back on Friday. Let's make it happen.

Dear Ladies,
My sister and I shaved my cat last night. I don't think he likes me very much right now!
He's a persian and now has no fur. HA I'll try to post a picture on FB in a little while!

Dear Dumb Woman Who Can't Park Her BMW,
I understand needed to back up a bit to readjust your parking, but when you expect me to back up 10 feet to let you pick another spot because there's too much water in the first one (like you couldn't see the lake when you attempted to park the first time) and then look at me like I'm the moron because you're blocking the entire lane in the already-too-narrow-to-drive-safely parking garage, that just pisses me off.

Dear Work,
I'm not in the mood. I want to go home and play.
Dear DH,
I'm annoyed that you told me Crispin's follow-up vet appointment was this week - it's not til next week. Getting to the vet at 7.30 with a baggie of poop, only to be told I have to come back next week, was not a fun way to start the day. Also, please come home asap, thanks.
Dear OMHs,
I'm on the hunt for new hobbies. I'm starting a cake decorating class on Thursday at Michaels. Any other suggestions?
Painting classes at Painting with a Twist. Even if you do not paint and think you would be horrible at it, give it a shot because you will not be horrble, I promise. How are the piano lessons coming?
ETA: Grr screwy phone...Painting with a Twist is SO much fun! I agree, you think it will be hard, but they make the classes easy! Also, G'nosh is the same thing, but I think their classes are a bit cheaper.
Thanks for the follow up! I was trying to be sarcastic about OBL and saramc's post, but I guess I should have done a :P face or something to let yall know
"...And he just came out of my imaginary birthday cake." -its apelila
Dear Amanda,
Please tell me that you did this because there were too many mattes. If you did, I'm ready to do this to my long haired too because she just isn't taking care of her fur the way she used to.
Dear Angie,
I was thinking about trying Painting with a Twist too. Supposedly fun and you can drink some wine! That may be a fun G2G?!? I also love to scrapbook. It is addicting and a stress relief for me.
~OMH Amanda
Dear Julie,
Ya maybe I should have said that he had a gazillion mattes. It was really bad and he smelled awful. He gets a shave once a year and his coat grows back beautiful!! I would recommend it!
~Amanda
I'll have to check G'Nosh out, I've never heard about it!
RE OBL: LOL. Duh. I'm trying to do 5 things at once right now.
Dear Angie - I loved the cake classes at Michael's. Be careful though, it can become an EXPENSIVE hobby once you catch the bug. - Cake making Leslie
Dear School - Please be over. Thanks - Leslie
Dear Nesties - I started writing an intro post for Getting Pregnant yesterday and then chickened-out. Maybe I will do it today. - Cheating on DFW with the trying to get knocked-up girls Leslie
Dear OMHs,
I bought oil paint and a small canvas on Saturday. I saw on HGTV that this one guy paints his own pictures to decorate houses. So, I thought, I can do that! Yeah, the paint and the canvas and the "How to Paint..." book are all still in the bag on my table. I think I am experiencing a creative block. Haha.
Oh my goodness.... I could never do this.
Dear Leslie-
I almost wrote you a letter asking if we needed to send a search crew over to the bump again since you've been so scare lately, lol. I decided not to because I know school is ending, which means you have lovely finals going on.
I have totally considered doing this, LOL.
I think that I might be able to pull off one of those pictures that look like a bunch of colors. We will see. I know a little bit about blending. So, I'm going to try that using 3 or so colors. Nothing complex. We all know I'm not that creative.
Dear Jaymi - That's a lot of it right now. In a couple of weeks I will be taking 1 whopping class rather than the 5 I am taking right now so I should be around more during the afternoons. - Leslie
Dear OMHs - I forgot to put deodorant on this morning, something I haven't done since probably middle school. I pulled over to CVS and bought some travel size and applied it right there in the parking lot. - Not the smelly kid Leslie
Or you could go Jackson Pollack on the canvas.
Dear Mandaroo,
I would LOVE to see a pic of that! I tried to do it to my cat's butt one time and she was NOT having it. LOL

Dear Self,
Happy birthday. You're on the downward slope to 30 now....bummer!
Dear little brother,
you are just like me when I was little...a little schemer!
-your sissy
(this is what my Aunt posted on my FB about him)
Happy Birthday my sweet Princess. Have a great day!!! luvya :0)
p. s. Bubba wanted to get you a new DS game (Rio). Nevermind that u don't have a DS, but you "could play it when u came over and he would take care of it for you." it was a very convincing argument. Lol.
I could make a hand turkey for you, if you want such fantastic expertise? It will cost you though, big bucks.

Dear "Painters"
I'm going to a class at G'nosh with my mom at the end of the month. It would make a fun GTG. I'm also still liking the idea of a scrapbooking GTG, I should scout out locations.
Dear long-haired catowners,
I have a friend who takes her long-haired to the groomer and gets creative with the shaving. Like, they'll leave a poof at the end of his tail. Or, my favorite, they'll leave a mohawk down the middle of his back.
Dear work,
As much as I enjoyed having 1 1/2 hours to read while at work yesterday due to a blown transformer, I would appreciate it if we had power the entire time I'm there today. Thank you.

Dear Mavs,
I'm tired of playing all these teams on the west coast. The games start too late at night for me to finish watching. But good job on beating the Lakers!
Dear self,
You just have to study for this class for 3 more days, you are so close!

Only if it comes with a foot reindeer.
I'm assuming you're 26 today? I don't know why, but 26 was harder for me than 25! This year is 27 and I'm really not looking forward to it.
Whoever said the years go by faster as you get older wasn't lying. It's so true.
At any rate, hope you have a great birthday!!
-Summer
To... well... whoever,
I am tired, stressed, sad and feel like I'm getting myself into a rut. I seem to not be able to pull myself out of a funk and it just keeps getting worse. I need a break.

A foot reindeer?! No way, I need lessons on this right away!
Summer - Really? Age doesn't really seem to matter to me anymore. When someone asks me how old I am I actually have to think about it. Everyone once in a while I get a "da*n I'm old" moment though. Haha.
Me.Too.
Yes way! You stick your foot (not the toes though) in paint for the face and then use your hands to make the antlers.
Hey Lacey- I have an easy solution to your lack of art work around the house: have kids!
