Dear You Guys… #19

This past week wasn’t exactly ideal as far as composing a *funny* Dear You Guys letter is concerned.  Sad posts aren’t very conducive to the traditional  comment letter vibe, ya know?

Because of that, this week’s letter is short and sweet.

Also, we got THE best news ever when we heard from our vet on Christmas Eve that Jack is OK!  Thank you ALL for your support and kind words!  They mean so much!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

———————————————————————————–

Dear You Guys,

How does one “tweet”?  Is it a phone thing?  Or can I use an empty soup can and some string.

I always miss you when you’re not here.  It makes me feel all sad and lonely and needy over at my space.  I blame you! And that crazy KLZ!  So you better get your boycotting ass and come visit me.

This is funnier than Craig in an apron.  The mania is spreading.

I want to live at your house!  I like your decorations very very much.  Love that driveway babe!  Oh, and throw a little glitter into that mess, too! Yep, that just about sounds right. (Oh, and peppermint schnapps – for the hell of it.)

There are two words that describe my style: Dollar Store.  I would classify my decorations as desperately trying not to be white trash.  Martha Stewart would have a stroke at my house.

I’m a decorating nut case! I’d put wreaths on the kids if they’d stand still! I’ve got a retro thing going this year. I’ve pulled out some old toys of mine and bought a few and always use those C-9 lights.

Our holiday decor outside this year is “whatever would work with these extension cords we have”.  We need to do some serious clearance shopping on Dec. 26 to get organized for next year.  HGTV can suck it on this one.

I am very impressed.  What great dancers you all are!   The dog can jive.  Seriously.  But Craig? Puts everyone to shame. Typical.

Merry Christmas, Liz!! You make a very cute elf, although I think Craig’s metro-ness shines through even when he’s elfing.

I think it was Craig’s face that totally made this one. The Viking has been whining that I used an awful picture of him for his own Elf.  Wimp.

Love,

Liz

    And of course getting quoted twice up there didn’t hurt either. ;)
