Dear Thursday...

{via}
Dear Loft, thanks for, once again, offering your 50% off and free shipping deal. I thank you. My closet thanks you. My wallet, however does not. (At least some of what I got was for my sisters-in-law, though so not a completely gluttonous/selfish purchase!)

Dear Mailman, thank you for delivering the package from my SIL for Ella's first Christmas. I appreciate your hard work. However, next time I could do without you ringing my doorbell at 6:53 am next time. Thanks!

Dear Illness Gods, please leave my poor baby alone. First it was another cold, then it was the tummy bug, then a little remnant of some kind of cold, and then Tuesday night we get a fever and a rash on her body. What gives?? I swear this child hasn't been 100% since early November. Thank goodness she seems relatively unphased. My blood pressure, on the other hand....

Dear Traffic Gods,  thank you for looking out for my sister-in-law on Tuesday. She had a near miss with a tractor trailer flipping over literally RIGHT in front of her in the middle of the day which caused a 4 hour backup of traffic. Thankfully everyone seemed to be ok. Way too close!
Dear Post-Baby Period, (sorry for the TMI here) holy mother of ****, you are theeeee worst! I had heard warnings about you from friends, but my goodness you are another form of evil I had no desire to ever encounter.

Dear Redfin, thanks for my daily dose of real estate porn. We aren't in the market for a house, but I never turned off the notifications from when we were looking 3 years ago. Your emails let me fantasize about our next house...whenever that may be.

Dear office HVAC system, there's no reason I should have to turn the thermostat to 78 in order to get my office reasonably warm.

Dear iPhone8 Plus, I heart you. I wasn't so sure about your large size at first, but I've already gotten used to that (with the help of a popsocket). Your camera is amazing and I love capturing all of my Ella pictures with you!

Dear Christmas Lights, you make me happy. Thanks for bringing your twinkling to brighten up our nights.

Dear Ella bear, I love that you're beginning to be ticklish now. Getting giggles out of you is the highlight of my day. Also, thank you for being such a trooper through all of your ailments recently. We couldn't have asked for a more happy, easy-going baby. Love you to pieces!

  4. Oh gosh, the whole post baby period is one of the things I DREAD about ever having kids. LOL Aw, and poor Ella. I'm glad her spirits are still pretty good if nothing else. Sick babies are so sad to see. :( And whoah, I'm glad your SIL was okay! That's a crazy accident.

  9. So scary to be that close to a serious accident on a busy road like that! Glad she's okay! Sorry that the little one hasn't been feeling well lately.

  10. Ella is so cute! Seriously adorable. I hope her spell of germs finishes asap.

    I'm interested in your iPhone 8 Plus experience... My 6 is doing that thing where it's letting me know in no uncertain terms that it's time to upgrade. I'm out of the running for the X ($$$) but wondering whether to go for the 8 or 8 Plus. Is it annoyingly large to carry around or not so much? I think the screen would be good for on the go. Also I don't have an iPad so can I justify it that way??

    I do the same with real estate porn :)

  11. Have you seen the house on Collingwood? If not you should look up Collingwood lights and make the drive, it's totally worth it!
