Dear So and So

[maillotpois]

Dear yummy foreign boys riding your road bikes from Vancouver, B.C. to the Mexican border,

Thanks for providing some eye candy for three stay at home moms while you were walking around your campsite shirtless. Oh, and you're welcome for the milk.

Love,

I may or may not have told my kids to go play on that tree in your campsite so I could walk over and talk to you

Did you at least get pictures of "your kids playing in that tree..."?

Did you at least get pictures of "your kids playing in that tree..."?

No I didn't want to scare them away.

Edited to add...I just had to double check my pics to see if any of them made it in to the background and nope. I'll have to check with the two other desperate mommies and see if yummy boys made it into their pics.

Dear allergies
Could you please go away so I can ride without wheezing? Please? I'd like to be able to breathe again and not be air hungry and tired all the time. My eyes would also like to not itch. I know you usually disappear by July 4th, but would you consider leaving early? I know I live in the mid-Willamette Valley, and that the valley is one of the grass seed capitals of the the world, and that I'm mostly allergic to grass pollens, but please????
Thanks, Barb

Dear Reformed Marathon Runner,

I agree! But I'm driven to do a triathlon for some mysterious reason. Why did I wait to start running until the temps were in the 90's??? 5:15 am seems earlier when I'm running then when I'm on a bike.

Love,
waiting for the replacement tube to arrive

It's a form of illness. I have it, too.

But I thought you said 2.62!

Dear The Boy,

I know I told you that I didn't care if you went climbing this weekend (without me *pout*) while I stayed home for a family function. I guess I thought you would get the sarcasm when I said, "I don't care if you don't ever make time to meet my family". But I guess what I'm really saying is that a 5-year-old has more common sense than you.

Sincerely,

The GF

p.s. I can't help but feeling a bit vindicated that it's gray and rainy out and likely to be so for some of the weekend while you're leaving me alone yet again to face my family and explain that, no, you couldn't come and that, yes, you really do exist.

Dear City of Chicago,

Thanks for the water fountains. They really help on my runs. I'm going to pretend that you've used the $110 I've paid in parking tickets so far this year to do upkeep on the water fountains.

Delusionally yours,

LH

Dear Mr. Runny Nose in the next Cube Over:
BLOW IT ALREADY! I understand that several of us in the mapping department have allergies and we are doing our best to cope with them however we can. Most have Kleenex at our desks and use them often, some have gone as far as to mooch a roll of toilet paper from the bathroom for the express purpose of keeping snotsies off our keyboards. Please, pick a method that works for you and stick with it because hearing sniff...Sniff...SNIFF all day gets rather tiresome!
Thanks,
The Booger Free Gal to your left

Dear Ms Coughing Co-worker:

I finally got Mr. Runny Nose on the other side of me shipped off to Tater-land. Could you please join him? You are more than loud enough to drown out Mr. Runny Nose so she won't hear him.

If you can't move, try seeing a doctor. While you're there, ask him or her to check your hearing. Your conversations can be heard through solid walls and doors, and they really aren't all that interesting and dreadfully ruined the Beethoven on the radio.

Dear chickens,

Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my fry-up breakfast just now, but it's all because of you. Cheers.

Dear fog,

Thank you for making the super 14 final an interesting affair...What a game, we in the pub, our friends in auckland nor anyone else could see what was going on. I'm sure the comment from murray mexted saying "for all we know, the ball could have landed in new brighton" will remain in many people's minds the quote of the game!!!!

Sky tv, thank you for telecasting the game but could you please show the level shots when it's pea soup on the field?

Dear Wickham Park,

Please try to stay at least 50% cloudy and under 85F on Sunday. A shower in the afternoon would be nice!

Dear postal service,

PLEAAAAAASSSSEEEE deliver my replacement tubes today! I really need to ride. It's been a week, afterall. I've had a stressful week and if I don't get to ride soon, my head may explode, just like the old tube.

Anxiously awaiting the mailman,

Dear New Apartment Complex Residents,

Why did you put that bizarre seahorse birdbath outside? It not only frightens my dogs, it is ugly. The complex looked nice, now your apartment is resembling the "My Flea" market outside Rockdale.

Curious about the birdbath,
Your Neighbor

Dear childcare worker at Gold's Gym,

I understand that you had to put my child in time-out because he threw a block. You tell me that you put a movie on and he calmed down after said time-out. Why did you feel the need to force a conversation out of him? Why wasn't the time-out enough? You tell him that he can't play with any toys until he really sits down and talks to you about this and then you're surprised when he has a meltdown? Earth to you...not all strategies work on all kids. You can't force a thought provoking conversation out of most three year olds. Ugh.

Signed,
thanksforthe20minuteworkout
