Friday's Letters (an early edition)

Dear family... I am so, so, so excited that you are all going to be in town this weekend!  I can't wait to see everyone.  I know we don't really have a plan for the weekend (except the Muny Saturday night), but I don't mind at all.  I'd be happy just hanging at mom and dad's all weekend as long as I get to be with all of you.

My family - Parents, siblings, and significant others

Dear hubby... thank you ahead of time for putting up with my family this weekend.  Even though I know you love them, I know you get exhausted after a long weekend.  It means you get less down time. {which I know you love} Thank you for giving up that time to spend time with my craziness!  I love you and couldn't ask for a better hubby!


Dear work... I am really not liking the extended hours, but I understand the need for them.  It's really not the best week for me, but I get it.  So, I will put in my hours and help get the department back on track... but don't think for a second that I'm enjoy it.

Dear new car... I love you!  You are absolutely beautiful and shiny and you have so many bells and whistles I don't know if I'll ever figure them all out!  I can't believe I finally got to buy my very first new car with my very first car payment.  I feel like such a grown up now.  I can't wait to get to drive you again.

Dear hubby... don't think I forgot about your big news... I am so proud of you!  I know you are so excited about this amazing opportunity.  I can't really talk too much about it yet, but don't worry blog readers, I'll fill you in more as soon as I can!

Dear new polish... you are so fun!  Your name, Plum's the Word, just screams it.  Tell Sally I appreciate the color and am thoroughly enjoying the coverage it provides.  I'm usually one to stick to pinks and neutrals, but I'm really happy I branched out.

Dear blog readers... sorry I've been MIA all week.  Like you've read above, work is making me work crazy long hours this week {and probably next week, and the next...} but don't think that I'm disappearing for good.  I'm going to try and continue to blog, but life is pretty boring when it consists of sleep, work, eat, work, and sleep.  Thanks for sticking around!
