Thank you notes = Death


I really dislike thank you notes. I spent 7 hours on Saturday--- 7 HOURS--- writing thank you notes. I think thank you notes should be outlawed. There should be a universal understanding that when you get a present for a wedding, it is understood that you are very grateful; for example, I am very very thankful for all that we were given. But I am not thankful for the carpal tunnel that I developed in my right hand. I have 30 more to go today. Awesome.

I totally know what you are saying...the bad news is that IT NEVER STOPS! Especially since you are not only having one, but two babies the within a year of your wedding. Right when you get all those wedding thank you's done, its baby shower after baby shower. Hang in there though, its worth all the gifts!

Guess what...my grandma, the thank you note Nazi, said I have a good enough excuse to not do thank you notes, so she helped me draft a great letter to print off and send. All I had to do was sign them. One of the few good things about being in a coma. I hear writing those is hell so keep up the good work...one day you'll be done. Just think of all the gifts...I think Eddie and I will get divorced and remarried 20 times just to get more gifts. If you get remarried you still get gifts, right? I would print off more thank you notes. Just so you know, they don't stop, which is good. I got gifts after I had been married for a year, and then I used the same weak excuse after I had out of a coma for 2 years. But hey...more stuff!
