A Few Letters.

Dearest Body -

Dude. I had NO IDEA how weak you are what you are capable of. No sugar, flour, or dairy for two days was insanely difficult. And all that YOGA. Man. You are all kinds of awesomeness.

{I don't judge you for insane chocolate cravings. And buying a bag of chocolate chips for no reason at all is perfectly reasonable, despite what your husband insinuates with his raised eyebrows. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL NEED CHOCOLATE, OKAY?}

Mwah,
Your Biggest Fan

Dear Hamstrings -

Blame Baron Baptiste.

Love,
Me.

Dear Baron Baptiste -

Holy ouch.

Ugh,
Ashley' Hamstrings.

My dear Trader Joe's -

I want to kiss you on the lips for creating Candy Cane Joe Joe's. PURE GENIUS.

Much love,
A Girl Who Loves Flour, Sugar, and Dairy More Than She Knew.

PS: Marry me.
.................................

Dear Mike -

Thank you for not loving Candy Cane Joe Joe's as much as me. And for getting excited for me as I was when I jubilantly pumped the Last Box (in the store) of Candy Cane Joe Joe's into the air. Sweet victory.

Literally.

Kisses,
Your chubby little wife.

PS: Thanks for letting me get that Mac.

Dear Gray Hairs -

Go away. I'm twenty four years old.

Dear Twitter -

I wouldn't know what's going on in the world if it weren't for you.

{And by that, I mean I wouldn't have known the Golden Globes are on.}

Michael Cera -

You are adorable and Innocent and wonderful in Arrested Development.

If you weren't 14 at the time, and I wasn't married...

Sigh,

Dear Future -

I think you may be listening to me. Just to restate: I want to be a graphic designer and work part-time at Starbucks.

And have my nose pierced.

Ahem.

- Waiting with High Hopes.

Flight of the Conchords -

Why you gotta be so exclusive? Just because I can't afford HBO (or, uh, cable. period.) doesn't mean I don't love you two to pieces.

I say come to NBC. Wednesdays work for me.

  2. All those letters to your body? And your yoga instructor? I'm SO feeling that right now. Like you, I'm also fighting off my holiday cookie LOVES. It's bad.

    I hope you're having a lovely evening! All these letters make me smile!

  4. Oh man, you are so adorable! I wonder if I have grey hairs... I haven't seen my God given hair color in almost 10 years, so there's really no way of knowing. Probably better that way...

  5. lol So sweet, you make me laugh.

    I'm the same way about Twitter - I've never watched awards shows and, due to everyone's amazing live blogging skills, I have even less need now!

  10. I love these letters of yours! They are so fun and hilarious!

    Man, I cannot believe you gave up sugar, flour, or dairy for two days! While doing yoga! Wow, you're a miracle worker! I would die!

    I think Flight of the Conchords should def listen to you because I also really want to watch the new season and am lacking in the HBO department!

  12. I was covering up my grays in college. I feel your pain. Down with the crazy old lady hair!

    PS - Twitter, what's that? Golden Gloves, I missed them? Can you believe there's someone a few steps behind you?!

  13. I hear you on the no 'flour, sugar, etc.' thing.

    I've made a renewed effort to eat healthier this year, and let me tell you, there are only so many celery/carrot sticks and red pepper slices I can munch on before my brain is just screaming for chocolate!

  16. Graphic design and part-time Starbucks employee? Have I told you lately that you're a woman after my own heart? Because that just sounds PERFECT.
