Dear Patience

I'm sorry I forget to use you when things start to hit the fan - especially at work. I tend to panic and resort to anger/frustration/loud outbursts as I read emails from coworkers who make my life difficult to exercise patience. It's not you. It's me. I'm working on it. Please don't give up on me. I think I'll need you more than ever in the upcoming months.

Dear Grey's Anatomy

It's so nice to have you back with new episodes. I've missed you.

What happens in Orlando,

Stays in Orlando.

Dear First Work Trip Ever

While I'm staying at the Royal Pacific Resort in Orlando, should I spend my "downtime" at the Lagoon or the Pool?

The Lagoon...or...The Pool

I guess it's a good thing I'll be there for 4 days so I can give both a fair shot...I hate making hard life-altering decisions: man-made beach or man-made concrete pond? TRUTH: As long as I get tan it doesn't really matter.

Dear Giant in the City "Black Tie" Banquet

Thank you for giving me a reason to dress up and feel fancy. Thank you for the delicious 3-course meal, particularly the dessert: cheesecake with passion fruit filling. Thank you Elder Russel M. Nelson for speaking on the many wonderful contributions William H. Nelson has made to the healthcare industry - I still think I should have said "Amen" after you finished - you're an apostle! And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the amazing live band: The Beach Boys. Who knew those old guys could still rock? My only regret is that I didn't take one of the centerpieces.

Dear TANY

I'm filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding your unfair business practices. Mostly that you get to work in your PJs, eat authentic homemade Italian lasagne and get to plan your wedding away from the craziness of TAUT.

Jealous.

Dear Missed Life-Changing Opportunity

(This season's British Bachelor Beau - Matt Grant - my missed life-changing opportunity)

I'm really regretting not showing up for/knowing about the open call for this season's Bachelor. I missed my one chance to date a British gentleman and find true love. I would even be ok with not being the final girl he choses - as long as I was the number 2 girl - because then, ABC would offer me the chance to be the next Bachelorette and then fly ME to Britain where I would date 25 British gentlemen and try to find my one true love...again.

Sad how one missed opportunity has a domino effect...that or this is just karma biting me you- know-where from all those chain emails I never forwarded on since junior high about finding love and having good luck with men.
