little knock-offs.

So….I completely love the “Little Letters” posts that Naomi does over at The Rockstar Diaries.  I’ve resisted doing my own for awhile now because I want to be original, but I think they’re just so cute, I have to write my own…at least once.  PLUS…I felt like writing a blog post, but couldn’t think of anything super inspiring.

Dear Christmas,
Could you maybe come a week later?  I have a million things that still need to be made and I’m kind of freaking out.  I would greatly appreciate your cooperation.  K, thanks.  
♥, Lauren.


Dear Dishwasher,
Could you please start working again?  I know I complain about you often and how you insist on leaving spots on my glasses and rust marks on my once pristine white Crate & Barrel dishes.  But…seriously?  I need you.  I can’t go back to hand washing.  I won’t do it.  I promise if you start working again I won’t complain about you anymore (at least for a while).  Please, let’s make up.  Think it over.
♥, Lauren.


Dear Winter Weight,
I know you’re only two pounds, but could you please not ask any more of your friends to join you in the home you’ve made in my abdomen?  I know that myself and the skinny jeans would really appreciate it.  Thanks.
♥, Lauren.
P.S.  I promise I’ll eat less chocolate too, which reminds me…


Dear Gym,
I know I’ve been neglecting you lately.  It’s not that I don’t want to see you, it’s just that this cold weather has made me want to hibernate.  I did enjoy our little reunion last night though, and I’m going to try to visit more often.  Promise.
♥, Lauren.


Dear Oregon Weather,
Thank you for warming up.  You and I both know I couldn’t have survived another week of your subarctic temperatures.  Plus…you were really starting to put a cramp in my style.  Who wants to dress cute when it’s 17˚ outside?  I knew you’d understand.  Thanks again.
♥, Lauren.


Dear Speed Radar Van on the way to work,
Nobody likes you.  You are mean and sneaky and it’s not cool.  That’s it.
♥, Lauren.


Dear Marley,
Thanks for being so darn cute and making me laugh on a daily basis.  You are the best…even if you can’t read this and lack the opposable thumbs to navigate a computer keyboard.
♥, Lauren.


Dear Friday,
I love you.  I thought you’d never come back, but I’m so glad you did.  You are my favorite of all the days of the week (but don’t tell the others).
♥, Lauren.


and FINALLY…


Dear Blog friends,
I heart you.  Thank you for reading all of these rambling little letters and for reading my blog in general and leaving me the most encouraging little comments.  Seriously…you’ve no idea how happy you make me.  You are wonderful.  
♥, Lauren.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend!

  18. I REALLY loved the little letters, very cute! I think you should continue these letters-it’s kinda funny that I can actually picture you writing each and every one of these letters, and seeing you’re quirky little smile while writing them. I had fun reuniting with the gym last night too, and I definitely want the weight to go away. Dear Lovely Lauren you are AMAZING!

  19. Loved this!!!! 🙂
    Happy weekend!
