Friday's Letters

Dear Payday Friday,

You couldn't have come at a better time! Daisy's spay appointment yesterday nearly depleted our alcohol fund. Priorities, right?

Dear Husband,

Thank you for going in to the office on the daily while I get to lounge in yoga pants at home, with my wine, Real Housewives reruns, and puppies.

Dear Daisy,

I'm so so sorry that your lady parts were removed and that you're still hurting despite the pain meds.

Dear Chip,

You have been such an incredible puppy big-brother to Daisy while she's recovering...you melt my heart!

I'd like to introduce you to two of my wonderful sponsors. Take it away, ladies!

Hi, I'm Rachel, the writer behind With Love, Rachel. I'm pretty sure that The Most Interesting Man in the World doesn't read many blogs, but when he does, he makes sure to check out With Love, Rachel.

But all kidding aside, I write about all of the things that make life wonderful, from adventures in traveling to fabulous shoes. I drink more wine than I probably should, I consider bargain shopping one of my talents, and I often think out my plan for how to survive the zombie apocalypse. I'm also training for my first ever marathon and sharing the challenges that come with it.

(Seriously, people, doesn't she seem like someone you'd wanna hang out with already? Check out her post on How Not to Suck at Life. You can find Rachel on Twitter and Instagram.)

Hey I'm Kalyn. Not to be confused with Kayla or Kaitlin. I'm a nurse from Alabama that loves food, football, cooking, sunshine, adult beverages, sleeping in, dancing, writing, and anything else in between. This isn't a fashion, food, or crafting blog, although you may find a little of those things here. At Life as I Pretend to Know It you'll find me talking about anything from sneaking out of my house to book reviews, to my rants about being a nurse. Every day I try to have as much fun as possible, and this blog is just a way of documenting everything that life throws my way! Hope you'll stick around!

(See? Another awesome girl! Read more about her in her Facts of Me post, and catch her on Twitter and Instagram!)

Friday's Letters v1 issue 2

Dear Friday: Thanks for finally getting here!  That brings the countdown to Thanksgiving to less than 7 days :)

Dear Husband: I love you very much.  I love you even more when you put up with me when I'm a crank.  You're worth your weight in gold.

Dear Chip & Daisy: I love you, but you seriously need to get better with "Come here."  I'm sure the neighbors are tired of you romping through their house (even if they do leave their front door open!)

Dear teeth: I'd really appreciate it if you stayed put.  My braces were taken off in 1998 and I don't like wearing retainers, thank you very much.

Dear Sponsors: It never ceases to amaze me what sweet women are behind the blogs.  Thanks for being you!

Dear [name withheld for privacy] giveaway participant: Yes, I do check the entries on Rafflecopter.  You didn't follow or click on any of the entry guidelines.  Not only that, but your e-mail address is linked up with your Google+ account, your picture, your city and your alma mater.  I'd be SO ashamed if I were you!  It's one thing if you do something and you're not caught, but when you leave a paper trail?  Tsk. Tsk. I'm not ratting you out because I'm a decent human being.  You're welcome. 

Dear lovely readers: Thank you for reading (and commenting!) on my ramblings.  My DH rolls his eyes at me and even teases me, but I'm glad I'm doing this!

There's still time to enter the cell phone monogram giveaway!

You can gain additional entries just by tweeting about it daily: Monogram Giveaway.

Friday's Letters V. 1.

Pat yourself on the back.  You've made it through this week without killing someone at the polls.  Grab a glass of vino and read my Friday's Letters.

Dear Weather, please make up your mind.  As much as I love the cooler air, I am beginning to look like Madame Menopause in all her hot flash glory.  Sincerely, me.  Dear Chip, I love having you in bed with us, but can you please move up a little higher so I can stretch out my legs?  The fetal position is only comfortable for like 15 minutes.  Dear Chip, by farther up I did not mean my pillow...I still love you though.  Dear Neighbors, please grow some cojones and walk + curb your dogs, or you will learn what Return to Sender means. I'm tired of finding your beasts' mud pies in the grooves of my sneakers. Dear Whitney, the fact that you wear yoga pants to work makes me swoon.  I may have the slightest of girl crushes on you.  Dear Pinot Noir, I won't tell my husband of our love affair if you won't.  (pinkie swear.)  Dear Blogger, thanks for catering to my addictive personality.  I can't stay away.


Also, here are my Friday Faves

Favorite Blogger:

Yeah, what's not to love?  Seriously, check her out.  Best thing since sliced bread.

Favorite sound clip:

The Pioneer Woman's son's rendition of the word "juice bag."  She's not as innocent as she looks, huh?

Favorite word:

'Nuff said!

Ok, It is waaay past my bedtime.  That's all for now. Enjoy your weekend!
