Dear rere, Our tree will probably go up ridiculously early this year because of timing of kid weekends and travel. I'm not mad about it. Signed, Team Rere's DD
November is obviously still fall. So Christmas cannot start until Dec 1.
Signed,
I am right
Dear hiring,
I was hiring for 2, but found one. You suck. I think I may just go with the one hire for now, because I can't keep going, and one of my staff doesn't mind extra weekends. Plus my staff really doesn't want to train 2 people at the same time.
Signed, I hate you
Dear Social Media,
Kids are cute, and I like too see pictures. But I definitely am feeling inundated by all the holiday pictures every time there is a holiday. There are just sooo many.
The clocks change on Saturday again! WPs I will put up outside decorations on the next dry weekend because doing them in the rain sucks. I won't turn them on until Dec 1st because who wants to pay the giant electric bill any longer than necessary. I'm almost done with my shopping. I've started my holiday baking. Trying to stay ahead so I don't get overwhelmed later. 186momx
Dear School District Please make up your mind on holidays at school. DD's school was told no costumes, no Halloween anything including cute Halloween shirts. The teachers couldn't even tell the kids to have a safe Halloween. DD said they were saying "stay safe on all hallows eve". I bet most kids had no clue what that was. The other K-8 school and middle schools all did spirit week this week and had costume day yesterday so the kids could dress up for spirit week. You post on your Facebook page staff dressed up. So, make up your mind. Frustrated parent PS I doubt DD would have worn a costume to school, but she wasn't given a choice.

Dear brother, I know we're not that close, but it seems strange that I found out you're having another kid on FB. I'm surprised mom didn't let me know either. Maybe this will be a push for you to get a job and a house instead of continuing to live in our parents' basement at 37? When do I get to meet your new baby mama? Signed, Happy for you and hopeful
Dear Worse Case Scenario, You're like the terrible boyfriend who keeps getting someone back, no matter how much you suck. How might we stop our dates in my head for good? From, Over you
Dear Thanksgiving, You're still and will always be my favorite holiday. None of this Christmas stuff - except buying and mailing gifts for my niece in Australia - until December. Now for the big question: what stretchy pants do I wear on our special day??? Always, Your most faithful lover
One more... Dear readers / makers of online recipes, Am we the only cold hearted b***h who doesn't care about the 17-paragrah version of a recipe's backstory? Or the only one who already knows how to chop onions? (I mean, I *could* be doing this incorrectly, but no one is complaining in my house...) Might we petition to get these explanations shortened? From, Impatient, not very good cook
dglvrk2, I assume it is that long to get the ads in. Also, yes I know how to chop onions even though it is different from how DH learned and he thinks my way is wrong that doesn't mean that they don't get chopped (with less tears, I might add).
dglvrk2, also why can't they all have the jump to recipe button. I don't have time to scroll though umpteen pages because the tablet turned off while I was making XYZ and I need to know how long they go in the stinking oven.
Dear tenants upstairs at work Why does it sound like it is pouring rain over my head. It is sunny outside right now. Frantically walking through the office looking for water leaks downstairs tenant who has been flooded too many times by you guys.

It is because Google uses how long people stay on a page as a factor in its search relevancy rankings.
Jump to recipe is a godsend. Sometimes I just close recipes that don’t have that.

I saw a meme about online recipies the other day. Something to the effect that we don't need it to start, It was a cold November day of the year 1952 when I entered the world....just give us the dang recipe.
Dear beau and sisters, I am aware that you are all chefs that own multiple restaurants and have authored several cook books. So I should be very excited to have Thanksgiving with you all this year because the food will be guaranteed to be amazing. But I'm a little sad that the menu doesn't seem to include such delicacies as green bean casserole and Stovetop stuffing like my family makes. Sometimes I just want the processed crap for tradition's sake, you know? Signed, Not a gourmet chef
Dear mom, I'm sorry I'm missing out on our Black Friday shopping tradition this year because I'm traveling to visit beau's family. I promise, we'll be back on track next year! Love, Me

twinmomma, make a green bean casserole! Just because they're chefs doesn't mean they won't appreciate comfort food! I've been craving Stovetop lately, so I made it for lunch...lol.
supertrooper1, I would, but we're flying there for the long weekend and finding the gluten free versions of everything is tricky enough at my own grocery stores. I won't make his sister do that shopping for me! I'll just have to make some for myself when we get home.
