Little Open Letters.

Naomi, of Rockstar Diaries fame, is known for her adorable "Little Letters" posts. My friend Jordan also posts many hilarious and oh-so-true open letters on her Facebook page. Therefore, in honor of two amazing women tonight, I am going to write a few letters of my own:

Dear Husband,

Thank you for taking me to a lovely dinner at Morton's tonight. We braved a snowstorm in search of food. That is so totally "us". And thank you for being so understanding when I ordered sea scallops in one of the best steakhouses in the city. I love you.

Dear Shabby Apple,

Thank you for having such an amazing selection of dresses. Through your designs, I am able to channel my inner Betty Draper / Peggy Olson / Joan Harris. I hope to wear the following to my best friend's bridal shower:

Dear Starbucks,

I know you have a tendency to be really expensive, but your bright red holiday cups make me extra happy during these winter months. Thank you, also, for allowing me to grade essays near your fireplace.

Dear iPhone,

Thank you for allowing me to take the above picture.

Dear December Dinner Club Group,

I had so much fun with you on Saturday. Thank you for a wonderful time - and for allowing me to shout "Salud!" in the middle of a German restaurant.

Dear Fellow Chicagoans,

You all look so cute, bundled up in this weather. Stay warm and drive safe.

Dear Phil Collins,

I am sorry that I had forgotten how incredible you are. Your music has brightened my day lately, and although I cannot explain why, I am very grateful.

P.S. Please don't tell anyone I said that.

Dear Neighbor,

It was really nice to meet you the other day. However, please do not feel obligated to share stories about your sex life the first time we meet. Or anytime, for that matter.

*Note - My neighbor is 73 years old.
