Dear sis - I know that you have had a rough past couple years and I'm sorry that your life hasn't turned out how you had hoped so far. Know that I love and support you no matter what, but you joining the army scares the hell out of me.
- your concerned sister
Dear semester - Please end. Now.

Re: open letter Thursday
Dear cute little cape we looked at yesterday,
Please have your owners accept our offer if we definitely decide to put an offer in. Ohhh and please tell their realtor to actually show up for the showing next time. And I'm sorry that we checked you out anyways because your front door was unlocked, but I think we can probably take better care of you than your current owners. One last thing, your current owners are almost the most discusting people I've ever not-met before. ick.
- your maybe someday owner
Dear AF,
Stay away.
-a wanna be mommy
Dear Migraine,
We've known each other a long time now. Long enough, I feel, to tell you it's just plain rude to show up for a surprise visit when I'm at work. Next time please call ahead. Or better yet -- no need to visit at all!
-A muddled head
Dear Bunnies,
Please find someone else's backyard to hang out in. It's really in your best interest. One of these days my dog is going to succeed in catching you, and I'm quite certain you won't be pleased with the result. In the meantime, your presence is terribly distracting to him I wait forever in the freezing cold for him to remember that he has to pee.
-A frustrated dog owner

Dear Boss -
All of your pushing for me to apply for the adviser position today better have actually meant you want me for the job...and it better not have been just another one of your lines.

Dear Chicago Public Schools,
HOORAY for realizing how important Physical Education is...right before my H graduates with his PE degree with a goal in working in CPS! Now how about hiring 200 PE teachers city-wide ASAP, instead of in 2014?
- Someone tired of being a FT/PT household
Dear BFF,
I can't believe you're still dating that bloated, 44-year-old, 2 baby-momma, unemployed, alcoholic. Even further, you're thinking about TTC?!?!? I'm sorry that I can't even bring myself to talk to you anymore, since I REFUSE to acknowledge he exists. I hope you come to your senses soon; I don't want our 13+ year friendship to end.
- someone who knows you deserve better
Dear job,
I still love you. Thank you for showing me what a good work environment looks like!
Love,
A happy employee

Dear fellow January 2010-ers,
I'm sorry I'm always late to the party. Somebody's got to be fashionably late though, right?
All the best, me
Dear Hubby,
Thank you for working your butt off with 2 jobs and school. I hate that we never get to see each other, but I know that it will (hopefully) pay off in the end. Sorry if I get crabby sometimes...maybe jewelry would fix my mood(?). I love you with or without some new sparkly "tools" for my "tool shed".
Love,
Your crazy wife
Dear Mittens,
WTF is your deal? Your scratching at the bed is annoying and climbing the mountain of boxes is not good for our sleep patterns because inevitably you will fall off and break something. That's two nights in a row. Chill the f--- out. Don't forget we saved your from that hellhole.
Your perturbed but loving owner.
Yes, that's right, I OWN YOU.

Dear Loki,
I'm angry my office smells like cat pee now, and I'm really sorry if you did this because I have been gone on the weekends. You're a bit spoiled, you know. But I still love you.
Love, Human Mommy
Dear AF,
Please stay away. Those cramps this morning were not nice. They've subsided, but for reals, it would be unbelievable to be able to tell our parents on Christmas day that our little family is expanding. Please, just.....don't.
Hugs and kisses,
Shaz
Dear DH,
I loved going out to dinner the other night. I hope we can continue to do this on a somewhat regular basis. I miss going on dates.
Also, maybe next time we can get a later reservation so I can freshen up after work first?
Ok, I promise I'm not complaining.
Love,
Your Wiffle
