Friday's Letters #6

Friday's Letters is hosted by Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds. This has been a really busy week for me, and it's looking like it'll be a busy weekend, too. I swear I need a few more hours in the day just to get everything done.

 

 

Dear weird, mysterious flu-like illness that made me feel like crap Monday night through Wednesday night, thank you for going away. I have way too much going on right now to be sick.

Dear Visa, upping my credit limit and dropping my interest by 8% was the best and worst thing ever. I've been going a little nuts on the spending, but in my defense, I've hardly bought anything all year...still...Dear self, it's NOT FREE MONEY, you have to pay it back. Take it easy!

Dear Dial guava and tangerine body wash, you were the cheapest stuff I could find, and even though guava and tangerine seem like a bizarre combination, you smell so good and you make my skin so soft.

Dear Mum, you're a rock star, as always. What more can I say? I couldn't ask for a better best friend.

Dear editor for The Game Changer, I could have kissed you when I woke up this morning and saw that you'd finished the book and sent me your notes. The last few weeks have been hell wondering if you were going to finish on time, and now I feel like 1,000 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I still have a lot of work to do, but between your comments, my alpha reader's comments, and my one amazing beta reader who came through...I think I'll be ok. *crosses fingers*

Dear Nashville, I was determined not to watch any new shows this fall, and I lost interest in you after seeing the same commercial 5,428,103 times over the summer, but I caved, and you were actually pretty darn amazing. I guess one new show this season won't hurt...

Dear next week, I am so f'ing glad I have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off from watching Logan. I need the break...not that it will technically be a break break, because I have a million things to do and I'll be working morning, noon, and night, but at least I'll actually be able to work without being interrupted every five seconds by a pint-sized monster who uses the world's sweetest grin to manipulate and distract me.

Dear Logan, you were the sweetest thing this week. You're so funny and smart and crazy, and I love you so much it hurts.

 

Serenading me while I attempted to work on Thursday afternoon

 

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great week, and that you have a wonderful weekend. Be sure to leave a comment and/or link me up to your Friday's Letters - or just your blog if you're not here from Friday's Letters - and I'll be sure to visit you back! :-)

 

Friday's Letters #5

Dear WalMart, thanks so much for continuing to give my sister-in-law the crappiest hours known to man so that we won’t have a chance to celebrate Thanksgiving (one of my favourite holidays) this weekend. I have a few choice words for you, but I’d like to keep this blog PG.

Dear Mum, I feel like we're in a race to see who will lose her sanity first. I'm not liking it. At all. This seems like a really good time to run away to Ireland.

Dear Jessica, thank you for listening to me rant repeatedly this week and always being there (and by ‘there’ I mean 400+ miles away) with a reassuring and comforting word. Your cyber hugs are the best, and I love you!

Dear The Game Changer, I can’t believe you will be out in the world in less than six weeks! I also can’t believe that in less than six weeks I’ll be a three-times-published author. Eep! I’m a little worried (ok, a lot worried) that only two of my five beta readers have gotten back to me, and I’m beginning to think I’ll either need to go ahead without them or push back the release date…neither of which will make me a happy girl!

Dear Logan, I love you to bits, and even though having you here every day is sometimes stressful and has seriously thrown my schedule into the toilet, you’re a joy to have around (most of the time...except for yesterday...you were the devil yesterday and I couldn't wait for you to go home) and getting to spend so much time with you and shape your little two-year-old brain is an honour.

Dear blog, last Friday I said I’d try to do better with updating you…and considering this is my first post since then, you can see how well I did there. Sorry! 

I hope you've all  had a great week! Be sure to leave a comment and/or link me up to your Friday's Letters - or just your blog if you're not here from Friday's Letters - and I'll be sure to visit you back! :-)

 

Friday's Letters #4

Friday's Letters is hosted by Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds. This has been a really busy week for me, and it's looking like it'll be a busy weekend, too. I swear I need a few more hours in the day just to get everything done.

Dear blog, I'm sorry I neglected you so badly over the summer. Ramblings of a Daydreamer took so much time and work that you got shifted to the back burner. I'll try to do better!

Dear Mum, I'm so glad you're happy with your new fireplace. It's not often I get to surprise you, and seeing you happy makes me happy. 

Dear Logan, last night was your first night sleeping over since you were about a year old. You slept all night, and I'm so thankful!
Dear Castle, you were awesome this week! I've missed Nathan Fillion and the gang. Dear CSI: NY and Blue Bloods, I'm super excited you're starting tonight! I've missed Eye Candy Fridays. ;-)

Dear Jenn, I had to laugh when you asked me to go see male strippers with you. Have we met?? Can you really see me going to see male strippers? I'd die of embarrassment. You'd think you would know that after 23 years of friendship. The only male strippers I'll be seeing is when Magic Mike comes to DVD next month.

Dear WalMart, why do you have to give part-timers the crappiest shifts known to man? I'm grateful to you for giving my sister-in-law a job, but it's hard to get a two-year-old on a schedule when I have him different hours every day.

Dear Chapters, thank you for having The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling 45% off for pre-orders. I wasn't going to buy the book, but the price talked me into it...I just couldn't help myself. Now please deliver my book in a timely manner! 

 

Friday's Letters #3 - June 15th

Friday's Letters is hosted by Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds. This has been a really busy week for me, and it's looking like it'll be a busy weekend, too. I swear I need a few more hours in the day just to get everything done.

 

Dear Jenn, I can't  believe you're getting married tomorrow. Remember when we were little and we all thought I'd be the first one to get married and have kids? Now all our childhood friends are either married and/or have kids and I'm still single. Funny how life turns out. I can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow...and yes, I will cry like baby.

Dear Aunt J and Uncle R, I'm so happy I'll be able to go to your 50th wedding anniversary party after all. It's going to be a jam-packed day, and I'll only be able to stay for an hour since I have to go to Jenn's wedding, but it's better than missing the party entirely. 50 years...what an amazing thing. I'll have to remember to tell Jenn that she picked a lucky wedding date.

Dear weather, thank you for finally cooling down. It's technically still spring, and it's nice to actually have spring weather instead of jumping right into summer. Please stay like this for at least a few more days...but especially tomorrow! 

Dear week, you have not been kind to me. I'm actually kind of surprised I made it through in once piece...and that all the people around me did, too. I'm so glad you're almost over.

Dear Mum, thank you for always being there for me, and being the one person in the world I know I can count on no matter what. Thank you for celebrating with me when I finished writing book #2 last weekend, and for not complaining when I let this crappy week get the better of me from time to time. I love you more than anything.

Dear Logan, I've said it before, but I'll say it again: this whole terrible twos thing is for the birds.

Dear Noah, getting to see you unexpectedly on Wednesday and having you hug me tight and say 'I missed you' made my heart melt...I can't believe you're going to be ten in a few weeks. My babies are growing up! Auntie loves you so much.

Dear motivation and will power, where did you go?! We were doing so good, don't leave me now. We can't afford to give up again - this weight must come off!

Dear blog and blog friends, sorry I've neglected you this week. My brain's a crazy, scattered mess right now. Next week I should have more to talk about, and hopefully my brain will be functioning better.

 

I hope you've all had a great week! Be sure to leave links to your Friday's Letters below so I can visit you in return. Have a great weekend!

 

Friday's Letters #2 - June 1st

Friday's Letters is hosted by Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds. This has been a really busy week for me, and it's looking like it'll be a busy weekend, too. I swear I need a few more hours in the day just to get everything done.

 

Here are my Friday letters...

 

Dear body, I know it’s been almost a week now, but I still can’t believe we got day drunk at Jenn’s bridal shower/bachelorette, drank for 12 hours straight and didn’t get sick. How did that happen? I thought we’d be a puking, drooling, miserable mess on Sunday. 

Dear Noah, last weekend when you came in from playing and you didn’t know I was at your house, I expected you to ignore me because your friends were there and you’re too old (or perhaps ‘too cool’) to acknowledge your auntie, so when you yelled, “Mimi!” and ran into my arms, I swear my heart just about burst. It was worth getting covered in dirt and sweat from your hours of playing outside. Thank you for making my day. No matter how old or how big you get, you'll always be my baby.  

Dear Bruno Mars, why didn't I start listening to you sooner? I knew a few of your songs from the radio, but Jenn introduced me to more of your music and now I'm in love. Talking to the Moon, and Let It Rain are my new favorite songs.

Dear Amazon, my package arrived two days earlier than expected, and I can’t love you enough for that. I haven’t had new books in so long, and these are four books I’ve been dying to get my hands on. Thank you!

Dear mailman who delivered my Amazon package, thank you so much for actually coming to the door to deliver it instead of pretending we weren’t home, leaving a slip in the mailbox, and then making me walk down to the post office in this heat.

Dear Jenn, I can’t believe you’re getting married in two weeks. I had a great time with you on Wednesday, and since I’m not part of your bridal party, I’m glad I could help you out in some way (ie keeping you company for an hour at city hall while you got your marriage license, and a tent license, then spending the afternoon trailing along with you in the mall and watching while you tried on clothes for some of the upcoming events before the wedding).

Dear Quinte Mall, I really wish you had more stores that catered to full-figured women. Seeing almost everything in XS-L makes me want to get violent. I’m busting my butt to lose weight, but I’m a hell of a long way from anything resembling a Small.

Dear June, how are you here already? What happened to May? Please be an awesome kick-off to summer. I'm kind of worried because the only thing I have planned all summer is Jenn's wedding, but hopefully you'll prove me wrong by being full of awesome.

Dear Logan, this whole Terrible Twos thing is for the birds. You’ve always been so sweet and good-natured and even-tempered, I guess I naively hoped we’d coast through the Terrible Twos relatively unscathed. Yeah, not so much.  Good thing you're so freaking cute. And good thing I get to send you back home to your parents at the end of the day.

 I hope you've all had a great week. Any fun plans for the weekend?

 

 

 

Friday's Letters #1 - May 25th

Friday's Letters is hosted by Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds. This is my first time participating; I've stumbled across a few blogs that participate in this, and thought it was a really cute idea. Here are my Friday letters...

Dear Logan, you are always awesome, but you were especially awesome this week. You bring so much joy and laughter into my life. Also, thank you for eating better this week - you worry me when you don't eat enough to keep a bird alive.

Dear spring, I love you so much, but you never stick around long enough. I'm sure we'll have more cool, rainy days before summer is officially here, but I think summer missed the memo and came a little early. As usual.  It's too early to be this hot.

Dear tomorrow, please be amazing. Jenn deserves a beautiful bridal shower and a crazy-amazing bachelorette party. And since I never get to go out, I’d kinda like to think I deserve to have a good time, too. Pretty please?

Dear PMS, thanks so much for making me an irritable bitch the last couple days. You haven’t reared your ugly head in awhile, why did you have to choose right now when there’s so much going on? Please go fly a kite. Preferably in heavy traffic.

Dear body, I love seeing the changes in you. I love feeding you healthier foods and making you move and feeling you get stronger. Soon there will be a lot less of you, but I think it’ll be good for our relationship. 

Dear green tea, I’m still not loving you, but I’m managing to drink you every day, and I’m very proud of myself. I don’t even miss coffee. But don’t tell her that.

Have a great weekend, guys!
