Thank You Notes
May 24th, 2007 by admin
Today, I am working on my thank you notes for my shower attendees. I am extremely appreciative of all everyone did for me. But why are thank you notes so tedious? I’ve written one (yeay!) and feel I have earned a break (thus this post). And already, I’m saying to myself, “One down, nineteen to go.” And they just get harder down the line because it starts to feel like I am repeating myself. Not that anyone would know, because who reads other people’s thank you notes? But, I always endeavor to make each personal and unique. But are there 20 different ways to says thanks for a baby item? I’ll know by the end of today. Because I WILL finish them today. I am a stickler about thank you notes and getting them done as timely as possible.
But I can’t promise that there won’t be several mindless posts today just to break things up. It helps that I have a doctor’s appointment midday to give me a real break.
So tonight after the last thank you note is written, CS and I are gonna make all of Sun’s goodies fit in her closet and room. Too bad I can’t drink for this. It will warrant some liquor. I’ll at least be sure that CS drinks!
Update: I am just about done. Except CS says someone dropped off a gift for me with him. So add one more. The last one I have to do is for a friend who said that I did not have to send her a note. Well, now it’s a challenge. I’ve come up with her own “Mad Libs Thank You Note.” Once the finishing touches are done on it (I need to brush up on what exactly is an adverb…), I will be done! Now on to the task of making all this stuff fit in a very tight spot.
Stumble it!

it is SO true what you say, thank you notes ARE tedious, no matter how appreciative you feel. Good for you for powering through so soon after the shower!
