Friday's Letters

Dear Husband: You have been sick this week and missed a couple days at work. Oscar and Sadie say thank you for the all day snugglefest, and please quit your job and work from home so they can continue to use your lap during the day. Okaythanksbye.

Dear Precious Locks of Hair on my Head: I decided to blow dry you today and it took 25 minutes. Just to dry you! Then we still had to straighten you and style you. That's a little redonkulous, no? I don't care that much to spend 45 minutes on my HAIR. Let's work on that. (And no, scissors are NOT included in this plan.)

Dear 26th Birthday: You happen on Sunday and I'm pretty excited!!! :) 26 years down... hopefully more than 26 to go! I love birthdays. So fun!

Dear Skyfall: I have seen zero of the previous James Bond movies, but I am excited to see you this weekend with friends. Here's hoping I am not completely confused during the entire thing...

Dear Grandma: You are not doing very well and this is very sad. I am struggling because I'm not ready for you to be gone, but I know how much you want to go be with Grandpa and I can't argue with that. And I really don't want you to be suffering anymore. Praying the Lords will be done and if it's meant to be, that you are in your heavenly home soon...even though it will be hard for us to say goodbye.

Dear Husband: You offered to put up Christmas lights this year, without me begging or prodding (too much... I only 'suggested' it once). This means so much to me. I love Christmas lights and for the past 5 Christmases we have spent together, the only lights we've had up are the few that I can wrangle on the porch. SO excited for REAL lights this year! Clark Griswold, watch out.
