Day 2 of the Letter Writing Challenge

     It's funny how when you start dating you only have eyes for each other; no one else exists. When you get married, you think it's just the two of you against the world. But the reality is, it's not just the two of you. Like it or not, for better or worse, third parties or outside forces beyond your control will have an effect on your relationship. There is nothing I hate more than when hubby and I argue because of someone or something outside of our marriage. Ridiculous! But it happens and then comes the tricky part: how to navigate yourselves out of the mire that threatens to engulf you both. The worst thing to do is ignore the situation because then resentment is always lurking beneath your calm and happy facade. Talking it through always helps. Unfortunately, sometimes, no matter how much you discuss the issue it'll never go away, because it's a part of your lives. So it comes down to how to manage it. One thing I've always asked of my hubby is to be on my side. It sounds petty when I put it like that but I was always taught that when you get married, you're a unit and you must act like one entity. This doesn't mean you don't have individual personalities or likes/dislikes but that when push comes to shove, you're in this thing together. 

At the end of the day, I guess it really is just the two of you against the world. Let's kick some butt, honey!

Today's letter is to my crush. I was talking about this challenge with my hubby last night and he said, "It looks like a lot of your letters will be to me!" I hadn't really looked closely at the list, just skimmed through it. But when he started naming the different letters I was to write, I knew he was correct. Well that will be kind of redundant, no? Besides, my sister said she'd stop reading my blog if I kept writing mushy lovey-dovey stuff about my husband. So hubby told me to write the letters but with a twist or to choose the person after my hubby that fits the title. So here goes!

Dear Crush, a.k.a. Scarlett Johansson,

I think you're gorgeous. Your luscious lips, your ample bosom, your hourglass figure -- wow! If I were a man, you would definitely be my type! I remember you from when you were a young, awkward thing in Ghost World and have watched you blossom into... Black Widow. Okay, not exactly blossoming but you're still out there, doing what you do best: pouting your lips. I think my favorite movie that you're in is He's Just Not That Into You. Your hair is this magnificent, long, curly blond creation. You look like Barbie. And even though you spend most of the movie in whitewash jeans with a belt, you still look amazing. Thanks for being great eye candy.

Crushing-on-You

PS. I think you should give up on the singing career.
