Little Notes

Dear snow,

Please come. You were here by now last year and you were so beautiful and festive. I can't wait to pull on my boots and troop around in you. Please, please come! 

Dear vendor on Robson Street selling roasted chestnuts,

You are wonderful, filling the air with scented deliciousness. One of the many lovely aromas of Christmas, including cookies baking in the oven and mulled apple cider, simmering on the stove!

Dear Christmas list,

Why are you not shrinking? I keep shopping and wrapping, but you seem only to grow.

ps- Why oh why is everyone on my list so hard to buy for? I need to find those perfect gifts and it is seeming impossible! Sigh. 

Dear incredibly nice people who come into work,

Thank you for continually maintaining my faith in the human race. Nice people rock. 

(Dear meanies, Cheer up.)

Dear Death Cab for Cutie,

Your latest single, Meet Me at the Equinox, is off the charts outstanding. I am slightly grossed out that it's on the New Moon soundtrack, but I will overlook that, as it's so amazing. Every line is perfection. What can I say? I love music that makes me cry and think at the same time and this definitely does that. 

Dear Kate and Pat's bun in the oven,

What are you, little one? A boy or a girl? I can't wait until your mommy tells me. It's really hard to find super cute, unisex baby wear. 

Dear Christmas, 

I love you but you're a lot of pressure! Still. I love you. See you in two weeks. xo

Little Notes

Dear feet,

Thank you for holding me up for 6 hours yesterday in very high heels and not scream at me in pain at the end of the night. I think we are finally beginning to understand each other.

Dear adorable top in French Connection with bunnies on it,

I need to have you. Please wait for payday for me. Thank you.

Dear Rangoli,

That dessert was the greatest thing ever. I am so glad you are in my neighbourhood. Finally, I know somewhere to go around here.

Dear Soy Toffee Nut Latte,

Thank you for making me happy (and awake, and less of a monster) every single morning. You are my constant companion~ and I am super okay with that.

Dear cute family on table 29 last night,

You melted my heart. Thank you. 

Dear my baby cousins,

I am so excited to see you today and hug you so tight until you squirm. I can't believe how big you are getting and that I haven't seen you since Christmas. I'm going to take a thousand photos of you and give you a hundred kisses. I wish your grown ups didn't live in Calgary with you. 

Dear life,

You feel kinda beautiful today. Keep it coming. 

Love, Ally xo
