Anybody you want to tell... Get Over IT! (Part II)

[katamari]

Dearest Katamari,

Yes, you are really busy with work. You are doing well and meeting deadlines. Yes, this is hard and some self-rewarding helps with motivation. But, it does not mean you can reward yourself by continuing to eat whatever you want and skipping the gym. Your pants are getting snug and a second chin is on the horizon. You will not do yourself any favors by ignoring this. Get over it and go to the gym!

***

Dearest Mother and In-Laws,

Yes, we are moving rather far away. We are not moving, however, to a place without phones or Internet. We enjoy spending time with you and our families and will continue to do so, even when we move so very far away. We promise. Politely get over your feeling that you are losing us.

***

Dearest Kitties,

Mama buys you the most expensive and healthy cat food available. Mama apologizes that this food, when bitten, breaks into two pieces. It only makes it easier for you to chew and digest. Mama thanks you for eating the first piece, but finds it incredibly strange and wasteful that both of you refuse to eat the other piece. It is hard to listen to you whine for more food when your bow is full of half-pieces; especially when Mama spends as much a month on your food as she does on other important bills. Mama wants you to be healthy and happy. She accepts that you will be lazy little chubballs for the rest of your wonderful, slothful lives. But, please, get over it and eat the flipping other half of your food already.

Speaking of FB

Dearest fake cousin:

You are in your 30s. I get that breakups are hard but Get Over It. Copying and pasting your ex''s gf''s status as your own in order to make fun of her and say how he has "downgraded" is both pathetic and stalkerish.

You also have a man of your own already and it makes him look bad. Get Over It.

Speaking of your new man, I really do not need to see pictures of a hotel room with a caption "tonight is going to be fun wink"

And while we''re at it, log off of facebook for a little while. You''re on a beautiful vacation with him. I would love to be in PR right now. No one is going to abandon you if you don''t post for a few days so that you can enjoy your vacay. It makes no sense to say that a show is starting at 1pm and lasts an hour, post an update on the show at 1:30, and have 10 picture mobile uploads of the show by 2:02. Take a look around you. You''re surrounded by people you love in a place you love. Stop FBing and enjoy life. Seriously, Get Over IT!


Signed, fiery that has a FB app that won''t let me hide ppl.

Dear Hair: Please decide whether you are going to be straight or curly, lock in that wave, and be done with it, once and for all. One day, you're like a Brillo pad minus the soap. Two days later, you're straight and hanging in my face again. I have tried layers, blunt cuts, The Wedge, The Bob, The Shingle Bob, The Shag, The-Allover-One-Length, Sculptured Hair, and nearly every shampoo and conditioner combination every developed. It has cost me a small fortune over the years. STILL, you persist in changing your *very nature* with the weather, humidity, temperature, wind direction, time of day, phase of the moon, and any other whim of yours. If it were not so d*mned annoying, it would be fascinating. I will not stop trying to direct you MY way. So, GET OVER IT.

Dear friend,


I love you. I really do. But if you''re not careful with your BC, you can''t expect me to keep up the same level of concern after multiple pregnancy scares. I''ve offered to give you my GYN''s number because he''ll give you the BC you want. But instead, you''re lazy and you''re probably going to end up with a baby. Either shut up or do something about it.


Your future baby shower host,

princesss

that sounds maddening princesss!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Dear Colleague;

I understand that you are really trying. Really, really making an effort, but not making as much headway as you thought you should by now. But why is it that every time an executive asks me to take on a special project, you somehow find a way to capitalize on my efforts? Please, just GET OVER IT and maybe focus on getting paid for your OWN work instead of mine because it happens to be in your territory. You might actually make your numbers. For once.

Dear Kittahs;

Could you please at least make a tiny amount of effort to at least try to make it to tile or hardwood before vomiting all over my wilton wool rug or my ZGallerie (Christmas present) velvet couch? Please, GET OVER IT and quit overeating every. single. day!

 

[Gypsy]

Dear B*tch HR Lady:

I wish I could tape some of the ''gems'' you drop in conversation so that I could let your boss know what you are really like. YOU work in HR? REALLY??? You are more a liability for the company than an asset.

Take a hike,
Layla

 

[anchor31]

Dear MIL,
No, we will not leave Jacob in your home for you to babysit for the day or overnight before we move (to put some distance between us, btw) in a month, so GET OVER IT. He is 3 months old and exclusively breastfed! That and I don''t trust someone who wants to sleep my son in an illegal crib with pillows and blankets, and use baby powder, even though this person is a daycare worker. If you want to babysit once we feel he is ready, you will have to come over to our house to do it, because we''re not driving him to your place with all his stuff to have to go back and pick all of it up again and then drive back home if we want to spend a night in town. If you don''t want to drive through the city to come see us, tough.
Thanks,
Your not so loving DIL

Dear Son,
You will have to start going to bed earlier, so GET OVER IT! I love you, but mommy and daddy need to spend some time together.
Your very loving mommy

Dear obnoxious driver behind me:

Would you please stop tailgating me on a narrow rural road when I am already doing 5 miles over the speed limit? How much faster do I have to go to make you happy? 10 miles, or maybe 20 would satisfy you? I have seen people pulled over on this road, so being stopped for speeding is a distinct possibility. I'm not going to drive any faster so get over it. Thank you very much.

 

[Lilac]

Dear Me,

You made a mistake because you were too stupid to think about it beforehand. It will now make your life h*ll next week. Unfortunately, you just need to deal with it because there''s not much you can do about it anymore. So just stop thinking about how you SHOULD have thought about it beforehand, and start realizing there''s nothing you can do about it. Stop thinking about it, accept it, and just GET OVER IT!!!

From,
Me

Dear Squirrels,

I put out enough bird food to keep every squirrel in town happy. Stop eating my rhododendron buds.

Dear Lady who feeds us,

Gave up seeds for Lent, thanks for the salad bar.

Hilarious! Thanks for the giggle this morning!

 

[Arkteia]

Dearest son,

I told you not to dump your ex-girfriend, but you still did it, twice. She took you back the first time, but when you did the same thing again, she told me she could not trust you. She cried a little, but got over it. Now you have been alone for half a year, and are finally realizing that you are not Apollo with Einstein's IQ, you are just an ordinary guy and need to do some work to get yourself a nice girl. With your ex, you were just lucky.
Now you are blaming me. And while, since I gave you life, I am ready to accept the blame for everything good or bad you are doing in this life, losing your ex-, in all honesty, is not my fault. I worked hard to make you stay together, even sent her presents "from you" when you decided not to spend your money on her. So it is your own foolishness and narcissism, but since there is nothing you can do about it now - get over it!

I love you.

 

[anchor31]

Dear Self,
DH is not going to magically start volunteering to do stuff. You are going to have to ask, even if it makes you feel like a nag. Heck, he said more than once that you should ask if you need help. So just ask and GET OVER IT.
Love,
Me

 

[Dee*Jay]

Dear Knee,

It's really too bad you had that accident in Aspen, but unfortunately you do have to get your full range of motion back before they can even do the surgery or your ACL will heal too short, so just suck it up, go to physical therapy twice a week, do you exercises every day, and get over it. And yes, I DO know that it's been over three week now and rolling over in bed the wrong way still wakes you up screaming. YOWCH. Sorry. But seriously, get the he!! over it!

Dee

 

[dragonfly411]

Dear back
I understand that falling down the stairs that day wasn''t the most ideal thing in the world, but people go through much much worse, and their backs heal just fine. I really miss running.... a lot. So please just GET OVER IT.

 

[trillionaire]

Dear Heartburn,

I didn''t miss you, so you can leave now. I understand that I have been a bit indulgent in recent days, with lotso wine, ethiopian food, delicious tapas and even hookah. Yes, by all indicators, I hate my body and don''t care what happens to it. Unfortunately, that''s not the case, my brother is just in town, and I''m trying to show him a good time. Anyway, I hate to have more than one house guest at a time, and since my brother is still here, can you leave, please?

Seriously. You are obnoxious. Get over it.

 

[stepcutgirl]

Dear mother of boyfriends child,

It''s been 5 years that he and I have been together. You were never his gf and I am not the reason you are not/were not with him. You admitted to him while in labor that you lied to him and were never on bc and wanted to have a baby. You do everything in your power to make life difficult for him because he still is with me. You live with another man now that you say you plan to marry. You tell bf how in love with said other man you are every chance you get. So for the love of God...GET OVER IT! Stop trying to make life so hard for us and go live the life you like to tell people you are living!

Hugs and kisses,
Me.

That IS sooooo hysterical, but even more so because of THIS photo (taken by my DH this weekend)!! Seems you haven''t give up seeds entirely.

 

[luv2sparkle]

I am having a rant moment. I want to tell all my kids to get over it. I am tired of paying for everything. This has been a crazy few weeks, and frankly I am really sick of it.

I have 27 year old daughter who moved home 1 1/2 years ago because of marriage troubles. She will be moving out in a month. This week she told my 13 year old to tell mom to buy toothpaste, so she doesn''t have
to buy it. GO BUY YOUR OWN TOOTHPASTE!

I just today put in a new alarm system (at 1000.00) so my brain injured 25 year old wont leave the house at 2 am to go walking up to the liqueor store.

2 weeks ago, spent 11,000. to detox my drug addicted son, for the third time.

Asked 4 son, to come home from college for one day this weekend so his dad and I can go to a bike race DH is entered in. I am getting nothing but flack from said child. We pay for everything. School, car, insurance,
EVERYTHING! I never ask him to do anything for me. I don''t require him to come home ever, DH and I have not been alone away for even one night in at least 10 years. We are afraid to leave the 13 year old and the 25
year old brain injured son alone when everyone is at least a hundred miles away.

I am just losing it a bit, it has been a stressful few weeks. Don''t know if anyone will even read this, and it probably doesn''t even matter. It feels a little better to just write it. Really, I just want to run away from
home!!!

Wow this a lot to have to deal with. Good for you for trying to be such a good mom. You deserve a lot of hugs.

 

[princesss]

Dear friend,

It''s really unattractive when you keep moaning on and on about how this person wronged you, or that person''s acting ugly (which, btw, I didn''t even know was an expression until I moved to the Carolinas, thanks for educating me). It just makes you look bad - everybody else can look past it, so put on your big girl pants and shut up. We''ve moved on. Holding grudges is not becoming, and it''s getting old.

Actually, you know what? Let''s be honest...I''m just plain sick of hearing it. Move on and grow the eff up. It''s been months. Get. Over. It.

 

[Amethyste]

Dear Bank Teller,

I am sorry if I show up at 12:55pm on a Satirday to make my weekly deposit and it annoys you to have to work 5 mins before the bank actually closes.
If you would make sure there were enough envelopes in the ATM, I would gladly go that route rather than having to come inside and deal with your sour face!

Get over it!

 

[Amethyste]

I had a pretty stressful week... So here again,

Dear Cubicle Neighbor,

I am pretty tired of hearing you cough AAAAALL day long.
Your cough comes from years over bad eating habits, smoking 3 packs a day and your lack of physical activity.
It''s not that you cough once in a while, you cough EVERY MINUTE! And the sound is so disgusting, it makes me want to reach for the nearest
garbage can. I pray for the next day you will call in sick so I can give my ears ... and my stomach a break!

You are tired of me sighing every time you hack up a lung? Get over it!

 

[Hera]

Dear Tim Burton,

You blew it with Alice in Wonderland. You picked style over substance and prevented me from being submerged into your usual dark, menacing world. It appears you borrowed from both the Wizard of Oz and Narnia and I was bored despite the quick, frantic pacing. Ultimately, I was unable to make an emotional connection with any of the characters and wished for one of them to lose their heads. You might want to consider taking Johnny Depp off speed dial (NOT Helena Bonham Carter) and get back to your usual dark drawing board.
Anyways, it was a big disappointment, and I know you can do better. So get over it!

Love, Hera

Dear Bonnie,

PLEASE stop eating poop...we feed you the best dog food possible and spoil you like crazy. You will soon turn 11 years old and we thought you would grow out of it by now...but NO!

This isn''t very lady like and, frankly, it is just plain GROSS!

Love,

Mom and Dad

 

[April20]

Dear Co-worker,

We do different jobs for a reason. Please stop trying to do mine. I''m here to support you, but you''ve got to stop firing off emails to people associated with the project without allowing me time to respond to you first. It just makes you look like an idiot.

Thanks,

Me.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Dear baby Micah,

I know it''s comfy in there. Mommy has plenty of room for you and you have an endless food supply. It''s dark and warm. But mommy is also sick of waddling, grunting every time she stands up, and peeing eleventy thousand times a day. So here is your eviction notice - it''s your due date, COME OUT AND GET OVER IT.

---------------------

Dear co-workers/family,

Yes, it is my due date. No, the baby has not arrived. It isn''t like I wouldn''t tell you if he had. So stop asking why I am still here and GET OVER IT!
