Dear Friend,

It was a beautiful service, and I'm glad I could be there for you.
Have a safe drive home tomorrow, and I hope the new year is a happier one.

Dear family,

Thanks for spending christmas with us we had a blast. Miss you already especially since my DH is in mexico for the next week and a half and I'm stuck at home with 2 cranky toddlers one of which is going cold turkey to lose the binky.

Love me


Dear MIL SFIL and the rest of the nut jobs

really WTF. What's with all these passive agressive christmas letters where you try and debase yourself just to make everyone pity you and tell you you really aren't that bad.... because you are THAT BAD. (seems to be a common thread, I think you did the same last year.) I think I need to sign you up for literacy classes cause I'm pretty sure I wrote and informed you to NEVER FRICKING CONTACT US EVER AGAIN! guess you can't read.

Life with out you in it is bliss.
no love lost,
"that b!tch" that stood up to you

Dear BarbieGirl:

I used to wonder why so many people called pacifiers 'binky' until one day someone told me there was a company that made pacifiers, and the company was called 'Binky'.

We call Khan's 'the magic paci'.

Trivially,

Ana

Dear Cold:

Really? You had to hit all three of us at the same time? And you got the baby the hardest?

F*** you.

Dismally,

Dear Mr. Rum:

As I understand from Idrinkarum, you are not so svelte yourself. So lay off!

Annoyed on Rummy's behalf,

Dear Ana,

Thank you for the vote of confidence in my corner!

He's still after me to lose weight. Yesterday he was all "WE'RE eating salads three times a week come the new year. And WE'RE eating more healthy."

RAWR!

He's driving me to drink,
Rummy

Dear Ana,
I was thinking the same thing myself

As for Binkies, I don't know what they called it when we were little, but my brother had one. I had my thumb. I'm the smart one, cuz they can't take away your thumb when they decide you're "too old" for it.

Dear BE and Ana,

My dad (according to my mom) had to bite his tongue to keep him from verbally attacking Mr. Rum last night about his comments in. front. of. my. parents. about. my. weight.

Yeah, he went there. In front of my parents.

And now we have to go to his brother's house tomorrow, between 2-3 PM for LUNCH (yeah, Dunch, technically), especially when Mr. Rum knows between 2-3 and is the time Child Rum has a case of the grumps (to put it mildly) and has to be put down for a nap.

I'm NOT having fun and am close to a breakdown,
Rummy

[BookstoreEscapee]

Dear Rummy,

Hugs and good luck with that.

Dear Roomie,

I. Do. Not. Care. There is a reason that I do not teach elementary school.

Rummy,

I'm sorry. That was awful! *hands you a salmon to use on Mr. Rum, should you want to*

Alternatively, you can run away from home and hang out with me! (Bring Child Rum too!)

Offering chocolate and a safe haven,
RP

Dear CW's at my old store,

While I appreciate that you understand why I had to move (mostly health reasons), please stop asking me when I'll be trained up as a supervisor. I did not move for that reason. It also looks like I'll never be trained as a supervisor.

Love,

Me.

Dear body,

Please stop with the hayfever.

Dear Csers,

Any tips on how to do a smooth take off in a manual?

Love,
me.

Dear Csers,

No. That's why I drive an automatic!
(Actually, I don't know how to drive a manual.)

Dear food,

I hate that I love you so much, cause it's painful butchering you every time I try to cook a meal. Steak like shoe leather, burnt onions, broccoli so mushy that it's practically liquified, and the smoke detector going off at least a dozen times inside the hour that it took to make the food.

It makes me sad to think about how good the food could have been, and how much I screwed it up.

Resigned to PB&J for life,
Me

Dear Husband:

You know I love you forever. However, you do one thing that annoys the Hell out of me.

You set the alarm for 5:30 a.m. No problem.

It goes off at 5:30 a.m., waking me up because I am a light sleeper.

You turn the alarm off and go back to sleep.

I am awake. By the time I begin to fall asleep again, it is 6:30 and the baby is awake so I have to get up.

Then you complain that you wake up too late and should get up earlier.

Grrrrrr.

Love, mostly,

Ana

Dear RP,

Thank you for the offer of safe haven. You might be getting house guests! Can you accomodate a Child Rum who likes to run around all over the place and climb just about everything?

Dear Ana,

I think your husband and my husband are related.

Been there,

Dear Mr. Rum,

I do not like being called up at 6:30 in the morning just to hear that you have a flat tire on the beltway! Makes me worry that you might get into a car accident!

Hoping you're okies,
Mrs. Rum

Dear CWs at my old store,

PLEASE do not hesitate to call the union if you're having trouble. I'm crying inside everytime I hear one of the country uni students is replaced with a 15-year-old. You guys were like family.

Love,
me.

Dear Biological clock,

Please stop. I'm starting the new year without someone to call my own as it is.

Single and hating it,
