Dear OMH's,
I lost another night's sleep thanks to my husband's snoring. Thankfully, I'm in a little better mindset today than I was yesterday.
Dear Bill,
Thanks for the beautiful flowers last week for Teacher Appreciation Day and yesterday for our anniversary.
Dear You Know Who You Are,
Thank you for what you did over the weekend. Just more proof that you are completely awesome and I'm glad to be your friend.
Dear Prom,
I love you but I'm glad you're almost over. I also think it's pretty cool that Glee's "Prom" episode is the same week as the actual prom.
Re: OL Tuesday
Dear Work,
I am really not excited to spend 13 hours with you today. By the time I am done with my regular shift plus the job fair this evening I am going to be ready to crash. I am glad that starting this week I can go back to being a supervisor instead of a recruiter.

DH and I were walking through Dillard's and Macy's last weekend and there were all these girls getting their make up done. DH said "Wow, it must be wedding season!" "It's prom time, babe." As we were walking past the girls, they would turn around and DH would look horrified and shriek. But the make up jobs were a little scary.
Dear Charley Horse-
Please stop visiting me during the nights. I finally got my left leg to stop hurting so it was annoying when you decided that you wanted my right leg last night.
Dear coworker-
You have a little something here *rubs the tip of my nose*.
Dear a certain HR department-
I'm sorry you have decided to go with other candidates to interview but you have an extra 'i' in the job title.
Dear new job-
You were supposed to be here by now.
Dear OMH's-
Please go check out Chelsea's blog!
Shortgirl - Awh, Lyndie is the one who first referred me to Chelsea.

Lacey - How did the car shopping go?
Dear finals - Please be over. - Leslie
Dear KLUV - How many versions of Proud Mary are there? I seriously hear this song twice a day and am only here for four hours. - Leslie
Dear Bug Man Walking Around the Office - Stop coming over here, I am trying to Nest. - Leslie

Yay for Lyndie!!!
Bio Good Times
Dear Shortgirl,
You may be too dehydrated. Try drinking a little more water and having a banana. Sometimes it's also a sign of low potassium. And, yes, some of those make overs are scary.
Dear OMHs,
1, I just typed OMGs. 2, I'm excited to see you on Friday!
~Angie
Dear pillow,
I'm sleepy, why can't I keep you at my desk?
Dear sleep,
I really miss you. I'm sorry for whatever I did wrong. Please come back.

Dear Coworkers,
Please stop jumping ship! This summer is going to busy enough as it is and now we will be training new people.
-coworker who hates training new people
Dear Legislature,
Please stop taking money from us so no more will want to jump ship!
-irritated State employee
Dear Tiffany: It went well, thanks.
Dear Cloudy (ish) day: I wish I was at home in my Pjs, reading a book - which is what I love doing on cloudy/rainy days.
Dear sister's coworker,
Buy my car. I know you need a cheap car and we are willing to sell it to you for cheap! I want my new SUV!
-girl with new car fever-
Dear BFF,
I love you. I love your little girl. I understand it's hard to do it all on your own but I promise you that you are so much better off without the loser dad in your life. I know you think you love him but what was there to love? His verbal abuse? His constant cheating? His lack of a car, job, money and ambition? There is someone out there for you just get loser out of your head but all he is doing is still messing with it!
-girl who knows you deserve so much more-
Dear Lacey,
Did you get a car? What did you end up getting?
-again girl with new car fever-
Dear OMH's,
I'm totally being a creeper lurker today.

Dear Morning,
Please hurry and get to lunch time. I'm already hungry, and if I wait much longer, my stomach will start to eat itself.
-Hungry Girl
"...And he just came out of my imaginary birthday cake." -its apelila
I have been lurking on The Bump all morning. Hormones = crazy, it makes the morning go by faster.
It is S-L-O-W over here today.
I'm here... but no one is saying anything. So there is nothing to chit chat about.
Same here I actually have a little time today to be able to check in but its super slow.

OMHs Re: Car
After much thought, consideration and tons and tons of research we decided to go with a BMW. It's a 2006, so it was still in our price range. It is certified used and came with a car fax report. According to the report, it has really been taken care of and like I said, it fit in our budget.
We know our maintenance and insurance costs will also increase, so we considered that as part of our budget as well.
I've never had a BMW or actually been in one, but I've been told BMW picks up the tab for most repairs because of their warranty plan and whatnot so I think it works out, if that is true.
My grandparents had a BMW for 20 years, then it came to us and my dad drove it for a few years. Probably a good investment.
Dear niece and nephew,
Please come before or after my trip to New Jersey. It's only two days, so you can manage that, right? If I miss your birth because of this interview, it will be just the first of many things I'm sure to miss if I get the job.
Anna - I hope they either come soon or hold out too. I know you have been looking forward to this for awhile now! What is the job for in NJ if you don't mind sharing? Something worth moving to the land of fist pumps and grenades? :P
I feel your pain! I hope it gets better soon! UTI's aren't something I'd wish on my enemy!
Haha! It's a music librarian job at Westminster Choir College of Rider University. The campus is in Princeton, which is about halfway between Philadelphia and New York. They actually have two positions, and I'm being considered for both. The school is really strong in choral and vocal, which is my background. So, the job itself would be awesome (I don't know anything about the pay at this point), but it makes me sick to my stomach to think of being so far away from family. I still don't know if it's worth it, hopefully I'll have a better idea after my trip next week.
