Friday’s Letters

Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.

Dear L, Your new addition to “YoubTube” videos is getting out of hand. I do see why you are sucked in though because I also find myself unable to turn away. But still, all we are doing is watch other people play Minecraft!

Dear Teen Mom, I can’t believe you haven’t ever won any awards for best tv show ever? You are being robbed. So robbed. Because you are the best tv show ever.

Dear Coffee, I am so glad we are friends. That’s it. I like you.

Dear WB, You had an awesome first week in your big boy bed! Let’s keep up the good work!

Dear Fitbit, Everyone was right, you do have the best customer service ever. B’s fitbit broke and I e-mailed you and you happily offered to get him back on track with a new one. Free. Never will I buy a different brand of activity trackers. Ever.

Dear Girl at Target, Just an FYI, when your actual butt cheeks are hanging out of your shorts, they *might* be a little too short. Just a little.

Dear “Share A Coke”, Ugh.  Why don’t you have “Jennifer”?  Seriously, it’s one of the most common names ever and I can’t find my name on a bottle.  And it’s driving me crazy.

Dear Me, You need to learn how to hang things up yourself.  How hard can it be to use a level and a drill?  Not too hard I bet?  Get on it.  We have stuff to put up.

Dear Toys, The clean out is headed your way this weekend.  So many of you need to go.  And I cannot wait to gain that extra space all over the house.  So excited about that.

    Just out of curiosity on the fitbit how long did y’all own it before it broke? I have the flex and one of my bands broke a few weeks ago and I’ve heard other people say how great fitbits customer service is, but I was wondering if I have owned mine too long to email them about the band.

    1. Jennifer

      I am not 100% sure but when I gave fitbit the order information they said it was within the 365 day window so it must have been less than a year??

    2. Jodie Kingsbury

      My fitbit was bought in May 0f 2013 and they replaced it one week ago. I had it for 14 months before it broke. They replaced it no questions asked.

    1. Jennifer

      They are big shelves. Well, that is what I want to hang… After I buy it anyway.

  2. Jodie Kingsbury

    Fitbit is great. After reading one of your blogs about it, I emailed them with my problem and I had a new one in my mail box in 5 days. Best Customer service ever.

    1. Jennifer

      That is amazing. They are awesome.

  3. Jenny

    Don’t even get me started on youtube. Both of mine are obsessed. Is it bad when my 3yr old asks for a certain channel? LOL
    So true how hard can it be to find Jennifer or Jenny. Oh so hard apparently. 🙁
    We had the carpets cleaned last Friday so a ton of our toys ended up in the garage. We are now slowly working on bringing them back in. 🙂 We are all making some concessions. I will let them bring the kitchen set back in but they are willing to get rid of the indoor ride one toys 🙂 Win win

    1. Jennifer

      That is a win win! L is up-north right now so it’ll be much easier to clean stuff out. He acts like he’s dying if I want to sell it.

  4. PA Anna

    LOL about the girl with the outfit problem. I’ve been standing on line before with a child who whispers loudly, “Mom, I can see her butt cheeks.” I wonder what is the proper way to handle this.

    Maybe all the Jennifers bought the coke. They need to make more. I found Anna, but I don’t know anyone else with that name.

    1. Jennifer

      I think all the Jennifer’s are out there drinking a coke and laughing that I can’t find one 😉

  5. Andrea Karwandy

    I feel like I may have seen a Jennifer somewhere. Can’t find an Andrea for the life of me. Andrew is every where though and keeps getting me excited til I read the whole name lol.

    1. Jennifer

      Why is it so hard? Our names are so common. Or is that the issue??

  6. kim

    I had a share with jenny the other day its almost jennifer. my DH and I split a share with soul mate .

    1. Jennifer

      I’d be happy to find Jenny!

  7. marilyn

    My son is the same! He is so addicted to watching the Minecraft videos that he will watch them with the sound off (because the language in many of them is so bad I ban them and that’s our solution.
    Personally, I can’t understand why he’d rather watch than play, but when he does play he knows how to do everything. Still the ratio of watch/play is so off.

    1. Jennifer

      The ones your son watches must be more exciting than the ones mine does. They are SO boring. No bad language. Just boring boring tips.

  8. Laura

    My 9 year old niece is obsessed with YouTube too! She started with makeup tutorials, which I totally approved of, but now she’s moved on to some weird family. I do not approve of them though, mainly because the one video I watched with her, the dad had all the kids sitting on chairs in the kitchen with duct tape on their wrists and I believe their mouths as well. She claims all of those kids belong to him, but either way that isn’t right! She’s not allowed to watch them when I babysit her, but I’m pretty sure she still does.

    Speaking of YouTube, check them out for tips on hanging stuff! Being handy is awesome. Also speaking of handy, you should check out Weird Al’s Handy video, if you haven’t already. He released 8 new videos (or maybe is still doing it) for parodies of current hits. They’re all awesome!

    Oh, and lastly, did you hear about a new subscription for yogis? It’s called Yogi Surprise. “Within each Yogi Surprise you’ll receive 6-8 full size products ranging from unique yoga accessories and natural beauty items to herbal tonics, organic snacks and super food essentials.” I’m not sure when it’ll be released, but they’re offering invitations right now. They’re having a contest that you could probably easily win, get the most shares and win a lifetime subscription! http://www.http://invite.yogisurprise.com/

    1. Jennifer

      I did see that about Yogi Surprise. I can;t wait to see what they send!

      OMG where did your niece find that “family”? There is some crazy stuff on there!

  9. Sara

    My kid is also addicted to watching other people play minecraft

    1. Jennifer

      I wonder what it is about it? It seems SO boring.

  10. jmd

    Seriously with the Coke thing – my name is Julia, I’d even settle for Julie – but nope! And what do I find? Linds and Felix and Family and all other things…

    1. Jennifer

      HA!!!!!!!! I found “Buddy”. Too bad my dog doesn’t drink Coke.

  11. Jennie

    I totally rationalized getting an iphone because of the level feature. It just pushed me over the edge. (Like I’m a carpenter or something & need access to a level at all times!)

    1. Jennifer

      I am dying. I should mention that my husband once used the level feature on his phone and what do you know, he dropped it. Oops. That was an expensive project!

  12. Jordan M

    How do they not have a Jennifer yet? Is their a similar variation that is out instead? I was at my local grocery store the other day with my sister and she was so excited to find my mother’s name, Kelly. I looked over and randomly saw my name, Jordan. I thought my name was uncommon, but I guess not? Do you think my name is common? I certainly didn’t think it was common enough to find on a coke bottle!

    1. Jennifer

      Oh I am sure they have it. I just can’t find it!

  13. Lauren

    Omg, the butt cheek…. there was a younger mom at the park the other day with the same exact situation AND she had some MAD cellulite. Like, didn’t you look in the mirror before you left or do you really think you look hot?!?! I just don’t get it..

    1. Jennifer

      I didn’t get it either. We aren’t at the beach!

  14. Amy Tate

    I can never find Amy on a Coke either. I didn’t think my name was that uncommon!

    1. Jennifer

      Maybe our names are just TOO common and all the other Amy’s and Jennifer’s got them first?

  15. Jennifer

    Good News…our name, I’m Jennifer too, is out there somewhere on a Coke bottle. The website confirmed that “Jennifer” is in stores and I too am on the lookout. I’ll let you know if I find it!!

    1. Jennifer

      Oh I totally believe it’s out there, it’s just that every other Jennifer on the planet has gotten their hands on it before me.

  16. Katrina

    According to the website, they do make a Jennifer Coke. I’d have to settle for Karina. The only things I ever see with my name on them usually have the word “Hurricane” preceding it. 😉

    1. Jennifer

      Oh I am certain they make it. Finding it is the issue!

      You’d think they’d make more in your name!

  17. Deborah

    all three of my kids watch Youtube, my son and youngest daughter use to watch
    Minecraft all the time, Bajan Canadian, astonishing gamer, he said the best is Etholabs, he learned different tricks from them, I agree it does seem boring. They watch makeup, hairstyles, and anything else they think is funning or interesting. I am going to clean and organize my garage this weekend, I haven’t gotten to it since we move in Oct last year. LOL I have been busy going to school, finished until Aug. Yay

  18. Susan

    I have 3 girls & they are obsessed with the Minecraft videos too! Whenever I hear a bad word, I make them pick another video. Don’t these people know that kids are their primary demographic?

  19. Greta

    Jennifer is available. I work for coke and have a sister named Jennifer. I have seen it. I have a son named Chase. I have only seen it twice, once in diet and once in coke. Ironically I found them in 2 stores across the street from each other and I go to many stores. I have seen Will not sure about Lucas.

    1. Jennifer

      I have seen Will. And even Bryan. They are hiding Jennifer from me.

  20. Judy

    LOL I’m laughing at the Minecraft bit. I occasionally babysit a deaf boy and sometimes all he wants to do is watch those videos of other people playing Minecraft on Youtube. There is never any sound either, so he just watches the moving screens. It got so bad, I had to limit computer time otherwise it was 4+ hours of the same videos. lol. I never understood the interest!

    1. Jennifer

      I think perhaps it would be better with no sound…

      1. Judy

        LOL
