Dear Gap Socks, When Josh told me not to buy him socks for Father’s Day, I couldn’t resist. Fortunately he recognizes a good joke when he sees one and actually loves the socks. How can you resist a man in red pants and funky socks?!
Dear Weekend, You weren’t nearly long enough. We filled you with fun things and enjoyed every second, but we could have used a few extra days.
Dear Amazon Prime, This week we have ordered all the things. Thank you for making it worth our $75 and for getting us said things here in plenty of time.
Dear Packing Cubes (that I purchased on Amazon Prime), How did I not know you existed? I cannot wait to use you when I pack for San Francisco. I’m hoping that I can get tons of extra clothes in my bag because of you. Please don’t let me down.
Dear Sophie, Thank you for all your made up words, for dancing instead of walking, for singing all of the songs from The Little Mermaid at lunch yesterday – you made everyone smile. Thank you for being obsessed with puzzles and getting so excited every time you complete one without help.
Dear 550 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, The four hours of my life that you consumed yesterday afternoon was almost more than I could take. I’m glad we decided to hold off opening the 1000 piece puzzle for another day. The girls were so excited when we bought you and they were so cooperative for the first 12 minutes. I’m sorry that they laid on top of you and cried crocodile tears on you and tried to force your pieces in places that they clearly didn’t belong.
Dear Swimming Pool, You were amazing on Saturday, as always. I never grow tired of laying in my lounge chair while my kids practice their water skills. The weather was beautiful and your water was clear and it was pretty much the best day ever.
Dear Ella, You were even more amazing than the swimming pool. I know that you could swim under water last year, but you have improved so much this year. You can swim to the bottom of the deep end, swim across the pool without taking a breath and do all kinds of flips and handstands. Doesn’t that make pool days so much better?
Dear Internet Friends, Do you have restaurant or other suggestions for San Francisco? There is still the tiniest chance we might not get to go this month, but we’re moving full steam ahead for now. We have a loose idea of what we’re doing since we’ll only have 3 or 4 days, but any advice is welcomed!
Dear Tyrant, You are my new favorite television show. Your writing is superb and the storyline has been fabulous so far. Don’t let me down.
Dear Married at First Sight, You might not be what I would call “quality television” but you are certainly fabulous comic relief. I’m hoping to convince Josh to continue watching with me over the next few weeks.
Dear Stitch Fix, I was beyond thrilled to see I could schedule a fix before my vacay with the husband. Please don’t let me down. I need some seriously cute things before I board that plane.
Dear Husband, I’m glad I finally convinced you that concerts are fun. I’m still sad that Vampire Weekend wasn’t rescheduled, but since we’ve acquired tickets to see Head and the Heart and Jamestown Revival in the SAME WEEK, I’m kind of over it.
Dear Vintage Barbie Pool, I can’t believe you have survived the basement for the last ten years or the closet at my mom’s for the 20 years prior. You might be missing a few pieces, but you still look amazing and provided hours of fun for my girls this past weekend.
