Dear People on that Carnival Ship, Oh my. It’s been a long week huh? What a hot mess. I would have bolted myself in my cabin and survived with my hoard of baby wipes and piles of snacks. When you travel with kids you have way more things than necessary and at times like this, it would come in handy. Still it sounded beyond gross on that ship. And yeah, this will serve as a reminder to pack even more stuff for our next cruise. But think of the blog material I would have if I were stuck on a ship like that. Oh my!
Dear My Mail Lady, Yeah, that one day last week the mail came at 10am was a fluke huh? This week it’s been arriving at 5pm. And yeah, I know didn’t feel like delivering my package the other day and decided to just leave it in your truck and act like you left me a note to come pick it up at the Post Office instead (that’s what it said online), but no such note was ever left. Crazy that it came the next day with no action on my part huh?
Dear Felicity, OMG, I am so excited to be watching you on tv again. I predict many late nights with you next week. I kinda sorta forgot just how much I loved you.
Dear Buddy, Yes, I do appreciate that you and L are so close and you want to be with him 24-7. However, when you guys play in the mud together you are going to have to take a bath. Don’t want to take a bath? Wear boots like L does.
Dear My Bank, I am so totally down with you wanting to be “safe” after every single customer’s Mastercard numbers were “compromised”. However, shutting off my debit card (and B’s) on one day’s notice and not sending new ones right away isn’t exactly cool. Dude, I’d use cash, but umm, I can’t go to the ATM and get any. And yeah, I know I could go to the bank, but that seems like a lot of work.
Dear L, Of of the sports, you want to play hockey? Really? How about like soccer? Or t-ball? Nope. Hockey. Actually, you said you wanted to “ice-skate”. I am just going to have to assume you mean hockey because, uhh, your dad is NOT going to be cool with you being a figure skater.
Dear My MacBook, Stop acting all slow and crazy. You are making me nervous. How often does one need to get a new computer anyway? I know someone knows this. You guys know everything.
That’s crazy about your card – the same thing happened to me last month! My number was compromised and was being used at Kroger in Georgia. I, on the other hand, was not told that it was shut off – imagine my surprise with a belt full of groceries at Meijer when the clerk says “declined”!
I love these letters. Random somethings all in one thing. I participated this week and hope to again more often.
I’ve had my Powerbook for over 10 years and besides the fact that all my software is out of date and I’m too lazy to update it, it’s still going strong.
I re-watched Felicity the entire way through – bawled my eyes out just like I did in 8th grade during it’s TV run. I love LOVE that show. NOEL 4-EVA
As far as getting a new computer, I have gotten one every 3-4 years. That seems to be the norm when I ask people.
So my Popsugar box says it was delivered, but it wasn’t. I am really hoping it comes today, and he was just too stupid/lazy to leave it/knock on my work door. But I have been crying about this all morning. Your mail lady story gives me hope…
I read about that cruise ship today as well, that would’ve been horrible! I’ve been on about 4 cruises and they have all been fantastic. Just really unlucky if they had an engine fire they couldn’t fix it until they got back to land. Then again if I was on that cruise Id probably be put off cruising for a very long time if not forever!
Bloody banks, so frustrating when you cant get your cold hard cash out isnt it. Fingers crossed it gets sorted for you soon 🙂
Have a top weekend x
Sorry about the card! That stinks 🙁
My almost 4 year old has been skating for a year. Yeah, he lives and breathes hockey lol. His first birthday party was a joint Toronto Maple Leafs/Detroit Red Wings Party! I am from Michigan and my husband is originally from Toronto…he still plays once a week on a 30 and over hockey league lol 🙂 My brother played travel hockey growing up as well. I would put L in a basic learn to skate program or take him public skating to see if he likes it! And be warned, it is a pretty expensive sport! Soccer is much cheaper lol
I wouldn’t be able to go on another crusie ship for a long time! And while I don’t have any abies (yet) I am an over packer.. What if I need something that I didn’t pack??
My box came! Sorry everyone else that doesn’t care. But they left it in the mailroom, which I don’t have access to.
My bank has done the same thing. My other bank put a hold on my card because they wanted to verify a purchase. Too bad I was in the middle of Nordstroms, in the middle of a purchase. That is not a good place to have your card declined. I already felt under dressed.
What about speed skating? He could be the next Apolo Ohno!
I would have gone nuts on that cruise ship — would have been 100 times worse if you had kids along vs being alone with your husband or other adults. I watched the tv coverage last night as it inched along — I can only imagine the smell on that ship. But at least they got a “free” trip, another cruise and some cash!! 🙂
My 3 yo just told me this week he wanted to play hockey too. How does he even know?!?! It’s big down by us, so I looked into it tonight. They can start at 4 and it’s going to be over $300 for 4 months! Shoot me now!!! But we pay almost a thousand a year to put my 10 yo in travel softball soooooo I guess $300 will feel cheap!!!
