Dear GameBoy Advance,
You've come such a long way since the GameBoys of my youth. Even though I know you are not the LATEST model, I marvel at your little color screen and your semi-sophisticated graphics.
You are so tiny and convenient, GameBoy. You fit perfectly into the drawer in the bathroom, where you sit and wait for me until nature calls.
(I can't believe I just typed that. But yes, it's true. I occasionally play GameBoy while I pee.)
(Between Mario, Luigi, and that wacky little dinosaur, Yoshi, it's like a party up in there, yo.)
Because of you I feel like I am a multi-tasker in every aspect of my life, and really, you can't put a price on that.
Love always,
Someone who drinks extra Diet Pepsi just for more playing time.

Dear extra-bedroom closet,
Today marked the end of your terrible reign.
You are officially purged and organized. Wedding paraphernalia? Boxed neatly. Miscellaneous Hubs' shirts? Hung orderly. Tia's bountiful purse collection? Lovingly shelved. Huge ton of crap that we didn't need? THROWN THE EFF OUT.
(Of course, there's still no room for anything superfluous, like, you know, if we had a BABY, and that baby needed, oh, CLOTHES.)
You will no longer be the unseen eyesore of the home, closet. I have bested you.
I WIN AT EVERYTHING.
Triumphantly,
Someone who actually did very little of the organizing and instead sat on the floor and sorted through pictures and CDs while Hubs did everything. It's called "delegating."

Dear Tiny Dog,
Apparently, we have a problem.
It is now the time of year where a sweater is appropriate in order to keep you from shivering. It's a good thing that we bought you FIVE last year! You should be nice and toasty warm for the winter.
However, last year, you WEREN'T DONE GROWING. And obviously, the difference between 5.5 lbs and 6.5 lbs is LEGION.
Exasperatedly,
Someone who will never get over how much you can charge for a DOG SWEATER and is in the wrong business because that shiz is HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Dear New Moon,
OMGOMGOMGOMG.
8 DAYS 8 DAYS 8 DAYS.
That is all.
Love,
Me.

I'm so excited for New Moon too. Are you wearing your Team Edward shirts this year?!
So I'm assuming you're excited for the release?
Confession: I am actually looking forward to this if only because I want to see werewolf fight scenes.
All Theo does is shiver and make me look like a bad parent these days. I'm sick of it.
This was edging hysterical from start to finish! Kudos!!
Im so glad you posted. I neeeded a good morning laugh. I got it here!
Hilarious! :) I was actually amazed that you sat and sorted out your cupboard so thoroughly, till I read the last bit of the mail of course.
OMG 8 days! 8 days! I need to get some more sweaters for the dogs. Thanks for reminding me.
Tiny dog is 6.5 pounds now? What are you feeding Tiny? Good grief. And yes, it is insane how much they charge for tiny little dog clothes. Arf (four pounds of fury), has several sweaters, sweatshirts and jackets and they all cost more than Indy's clothes. Thank goodness he's not going to get any bigger.
BTW, I love that you admitted you play Gameboy while you pee. You're awesome. Clearly.
Dear Tia,
Your letters always make my day a little brighter. Keep it up!
Sincerely,
Someone who wants to be like you when she grows up.
Wow, I'm impressed you took on the closet. I don't even have the motivation to take on the top of my desk. And 8 days? I totally know!
LOL, Tia!
Your "Mail" might be the single best thing in your blog.
It's certainly the thing I'm most tempted to rip off.
[As a 48-year-old straight guy, I'm not so into young stud vampires. Otherwise, I'd steal that stuff too.]
[Oh, and my hair's pretty good, for a 48-year-old guy, but it doesn't compare to yours. So I can't steal that stuff either.}
;-)
Great Post! You always make me laugh! You're so comical, and the things you say are so true............I wish we were sisters (Evidently we have a lot in common!) :):)
Haha! I love it when you do these posts! =D
I think Tiny Dog needs a New Moon sweater.... anyone? anyone?
P.S. linked back to you at my blog
i don't know if it let me post but all i said is that i'm still counting down to new moon again because it was just that great.
Oh Tia, I laughed out loud at the Game Boy while peeing thing. See, as a frequent drinker of Diet Coke (don't hate) I often will have a sudden urge to urinate while reading some particularly juicy Twilight related gossip and will take my laptop with me to tinkle. So I can relate.
Also- OMG 8 DAYS 8 DAYS 8 DAYS!!!! I'm actually going to the midnight showing- I have never ever done that for a movie. I'm pretty sure my friend and I might be the oldest non-mom's there. OH WELL!
8 DAYS 8 DAYS 8 DAYS!!!
The only thing more exciting then my birthday in 11 days is New Moon in 8! So very excited. These posts are by far some of my favorite. I often compose my own in my head, but they are never as funny.
I love Gameboys!
MY bf will NOOOT wear matching shirts with me to the premier.. AGHH
*must find new bf within 8 days, must be team jacob/edward/emmet
It's 7 days until New Moon now. So. Excited.
This made me giggle, especially the part about the difference between 5.5 and 6.5 lbs being a legion.
LMAO poor tiny dog.
I always love your letters! So clever! I can't wait for the movie - and I AM NOT SCARED to go see it by myself - since I can't convince any of my real friends how cool the books are...
Words cannot express how much I love your letters. haha!
(Oh, and there may be like... a million comments from me in a row in your inbox because I'm playing catch-up on blog reading today. YAY)
