Friday Letters

Dear Super Why:  How have we gone almost 2 years without you in our lives?  Oh I know, cable.  Now that we are forced to watch PBS for our children's shows we have been introduced to you and I can say I'll never rely on Dora again.  You are awesome, educational, and, most importantly, KP loves you too.

Dear Union {Jimmy is a Union employee}:  It's really stupid that you don't provide paid vacation.  As if we weren't already strapped for cash as a one income family, now we have to go without any income for a whole week.  Not cool Union, not cool.  You should really reconsider this.

Dear Kendall: Girlfriend you rocked my socks on our first family road trip/vacation.  You have never been a huge car lover so I was very very nervous about a 11 {ish} hour car ride with you.  You hardly batted an eyelash at it.  It might have helped that we had a DVD player and endless Dora DVDs but still, you were {are} awesome.  Thank you.

Dear Guest Bloggers:  Thank you for keeping LAID alive while I was gone.  I knew this blog was in good hands with each and every one of you.  I hope you liked it as much as I did {that's what she said}.

Dear 90 Degree Weather We're Having Today:  Go away!  I came home to high 70s and low 80s and I want that back.  Plus Jimmy and I made a pact that we wouldn't turn on the air for the rest of the year {thanks to another $300 electric bill and, oh yeah, NO paycheck for the week} and I can't break our deal.  So give me back my cool temps.  Please and thank you.

Dear Fall Clothes:  Stop being so damn adorable and tempting.  We'll be lucky to pay mortgage on time this month {see letter #2, again} and you aren't doing me any favors with your warm colors and fun patterns and textures. I cannot afford you so I'll pretend you don't exist.

Dear Twitter:  Remember back in the day when I loved you?  Well now you are kind of annoying. Too much drama for this mama so I've gone back to my trusty ole Facebook page.  It was real.

Dear Chanel:  You scared the bejesus out of me earlier this week with your refusal to eat and constant vomiting. I literally thought you were going to die and I cried, lots.  Two days at the vet and $500 later {ouch} I'm glad you are back to your old self.  Don't ever scare me like that again, you hear me?

Dear Starbucks Cinnamon Ground Coffee:  You are delicious.  I normally cannot tell a difference in coffees but you are different.  I loved you from the moment you hit my lips and now I can't find you anywhere.  Why?  It's not OK, I need you in my life.

Dear Blog Readers:  Tell me what you want more of around here.  More recipes?  What I'm wearing?  Pics of Kendall?  Parenting advice {ha!}?  Hair tutorials?  You just say the word and I'll deliver.

Friday's Letters

Dear Blog Readers,
You girls are amazing.  No seriously you rock my socks. I mean never in my life have I been so supported by a group of complete strangers. Never have I felt so exposed only to have you say "it's ok and, most of all, normal".  You always know what to say and for that I say, THANK YOU!  

Dear Wine,
I'm glad you've found your way back into my life.  I've missed you.  I like me more when you're around.

Dear Husband,
Thanks for talking me off the ledge not once, but twice, this week.  You are amazing and I'm not just saying that because I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey.  You really are a good man.  I love you.

Dear Jessica Simpson,
I am so happy that you are finally not pregnant anymore.  And I thought my pregnancy lasted forever, girl you were pregnant for an eternity.  As for the name, Maxwell Drew, I'm on the fence.  Seems like if you were going to go with such a masculine first name you would have girlied it up with the middle name.  That being said, I think I like Maxwell...I think.

Dear Ohio Weather,
Thank you for being warm again.  No seriously.  I am happier than a pig in shit when it's hot outside.  In fact yesterday was miserably hot and I went to the park, washed my car {by hand} and laid out.  It was glorious.  Keep it coming.  

Dear Vacation,
I'm counting down the days but I am also afraid, very afraid, of you.  You see nothing about 10ish hours in the car with a toddler who hates the car sounds fun.  When we get there I pray that she loves the sand, sleeps well, and is just all around thrilled to be there, like her mama, but I'm worried. 

Dear Christina Aguilera,
Girlfriend I commend you for loving your new, curvy body.  I love it too.  But let's address the clothing options, please.  You do not have the same body that you had in your Dirrty days so please stop dressing like you do.  Let's take baby steps, first things first, put on some damn pants!

Dear Starbucks,
You guys know what you're doing when it comes to running a business.  Never have I ever had a bad experience at one of your stores, ever.  Everyone is always so damn happy that I am convinced you pop them full of "happy pills" at the start of their shifts.  Oh and your drinks are delicious too.  Keep up the good work!

Dear Cougar Town,
I love you.  I think my husband loves you more, don't tell him I said that though.  But I think you guys "jumped the shark" with this whole Grayson has a baby bit.  I'm not a fan.  But keep up with the funny titles, it's the highlight of the show if you ask me.

Dear Chanel,
If you roll in whatever you are rolling in one more time I may have to sell you to the zoo as snake food.  I thought giving you an iced cold hose bath yesterday would teach you a lesson but you no sooner ran back to the yard and rolled in whatever funk again.  It's sick.  Stop it.  I mean it.  

xoxo,
