Dear Monday,

I’m willing to forgive what you and your mean muggin friend Tuesday did to me last week (You both had bad hair, btw). I almost had to get the badgers and take you down (throw beer in your face.) But, let’s start fresh, ok? Play nice, Monday!
Dear Leggings/Yoga Pants/Wife Beaters, and suprisingly soft F21 T shirts,
Thank you for being the only items of clothing in my closet that did not make me want to burst in tears and rock back and forth in the fetal postion this weekend. It’s not that my other clothes are mean. They just don’t understand pms and aren’t as…flexible as you are.
Dear Hair,
I want my bangs back and this is the picture I will be taking to our stylist. Bangs, since it will be cooling off you have no reason to get all hot and sweaty and weird. Act right ok? I know OOFA isn’t here to “roll my bangs?” but we are just going to have to be big girls and work as a team.
{Extensions MIGHT be coming out ya’ll, but then I’d just be…”UN”, and that’s so sad}
I’m so excited about my blog’s re-design! I hope all the mumbo jumbo I sent you this weekend made sense, and I promise not to be too much of a pain in the ass. My baby’s gettin a makeover!
Dear Kelly,
This means I won’t be harassing you to change things for me at 2am anymore. I know you are probably very sad about this. Don’t worry, you are not off le hook. I have endless things to harass you about. Yay!
You’re really good. I like where our relationship is going. Combined with the yoga pants and your yummyness, I just might never leave my house again. Keep up the good work.
Dear Fall TV Schedule,
I can’t effing deal with you, dude. There are just too many shows I HAVE to watch, and I can’t prioritize, I am overwhelmed and confused. My little OCD heart can’t take it. On that note, Fall TV, you’re also making me feel like a TV junkie. The Hills this week, right peeps?
Holy gawd. You blew my mind. Well played, Christopher Bailey, well played.
Dear Friends,
Yes, that is YOU! Sorry for the randomness. I have nothing too exciting to report from this weekend and I am just fine with it! I hope this week is FABULOUS for us all. Also, if Monday has you feeling a little…hostile…today, head over to Kelly’s blog for a fabulous way to vent! AND my best friend Brooke is guest posting here today, it’s HILARIOUS, so ch-ch-check it! Kthxbai!
Big fat bloggy hugs to you all!
XOXO,
Liz
I spent an amazing 3 months in the Philippines and I am deeply saddened by the news that a typhoon has hit Manila, with the death toll rising. My prayers are with a nation and people who stole my heart. If you’d like to help out, please visit the Philippine Red Cross
(These lil letters were inspired by The Rockstar Diaries, The Wild and Wily Ways of a Brunette Bombshell and I’m sure many others. I didn’t create this idea, and I don’t claim to!)

2 ...love Maegan September 27, 2009 at 11:52 pm

I am totally pmsing too. ;) ..and yes to Burberry …and omg the tv schedule is mind blowing. I record "my" shows on our dvr in the bedroom and he records all of "our" shows in the living room. It's ridiculous.

3 Sara September 28, 2009 at 12:08 am

I love your letters! I'm kind of excited about your hair! te-hee oh and the letter to PMS clothes! haha

Gotta love some randomness! My Mondays are Sunday- meaning yesterday was the longest, most tiring and boring workday of all time!

4 Nicole Leigh September 28, 2009 at 12:17 am

sangria sounds so good!!
my dvr is ridiculous right now. so many shows but soo good.

5 Manju September 28, 2009 at 12:18 am

i'm in love with the new burberry collection too!!

and just this weekend i was thinking i should get a new haircut soon, and i decided i wanted full-on bangs, … still not too sure though, coz it's really high-maintainance in the tropical climate. but you'd look so gorgeous with the bangs

6 DesBisoux September 28, 2009 at 12:33 am

glad you're feeling better miss Liz!
thinking about getting my bangs back as well now that summer is over…
have a great week, darling…

7 Dustjacket Attic September 28, 2009 at 1:13 am

9 WendyB September 28, 2009 at 2:09 am

Sangria in a bottle? I'm intrigued.

10 Sam September 28, 2009 at 2:30 am

I love your randomness – it is very hilarious!!

11 K @ Blog Goggles September 28, 2009 at 2:44 am

I'm super curious – how much of your hair is weave? I have no idea how any of that works, so I'd love to hear more!

12 nicole addison September 28, 2009 at 3:46 am

wow i havent seen burberrys spring line but holy cow! i must go check out the rest. rockstar diaries always inspires me to write random little notes to everything in my life! fall tv has definitely gotten the best of me too! gossip girl tonight, cannot wait! have a great monday lady!

Have a great day!
xx

15 sarah September 28, 2009 at 5:01 am

Oh wait! Do bangs! So I can live vicariously through you!

16 Keith September 28, 2009 at 5:03 am

Hey Liz. Great post. I enjoyed it as usual. I do hope you will have a fantastic week. Take care. Cheers!

17 Kristin September 28, 2009 at 5:05 am

Nothing exciting to report? Hmmmmm. That BP collection was SO hot hot hot wasn't it? Your cub thinks the bangs will look superb.

18 Marjorie September 28, 2009 at 5:26 am

I'm so with you on the fall tv schedule. Thursdays kill me. How can they possibly expect me to choose between The Office and Fringe? And we don't have a dvr. I think it's definitely time to upgrade our cable package.

Mmmmmm…sangria!

19 SG September 28, 2009 at 5:29 am

You could totally rock those bangs, do it do it.

Mmmm Sangria…I've forgotten how much I like the Sangria. Thanks for the reminder!

Happy Monday Luv!

…monday morning serenade replay…

desperado…why don't you come to your senses..

LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.

22 Amber September 28, 2009 at 6:13 am

Yesterday I stayed in my comfy pjs until it was time to shower then got right back in another pair and it was the BEST feeling ever!

I can't wait to see your new blog look! I've pretty much given up on the girl who's supposed to be doing mine. She told me like 2 weeks ago she was about to start working on it and I haven't heard from her since. Lame.

Um, yes plese to the bangs.

Hope your week is MUCH better than last week! Love you sexy!! XOXO

23 mommywonderland September 28, 2009 at 6:16 am

I will live vicariously through you with the bangs! Do it! Your sexy self can pull off so much what I cant!!

24 Miss Kriss September 28, 2009 at 6:17 am

I'm loving the bangs…and I may have to steal…ahem…borrow your photo to take to my own stylist. (She always gives me these like thin and wispy bangs, even when I say I want a whole freaking lot of bangs!) :)

I, too, am rocking the yoga pants and leggings…I freaking love the new Burberry line…and, of course, your blog. :) Can't wait to see the new look!

25 Llama September 28, 2009 at 6:17 am

There are def. too many good shows! I can't keep up! MY DVR is practically full and I just dont have time to watch it all…now im adding the hills this week?!! YAAAYYYYY or ohh no?!?! LOL!
Love the post…i may need to write these letters too i love the idea!

26 Queen Mama September 28, 2009 at 6:20 am

Ugh! I hate PMS! And agree about the fall tv lineup. Mad that I don't have my dvr and have crappy service where we bought our home.

I want bangs too.. I am just SUPER scared to see how they will "act"

Happy Monday!

27 J-Diggety September 28, 2009 at 6:21 am

PMS can suck it, yo! And I'm hella jealous of the TV… I can't watch anything 'cause of rehearsal… which I really shouldn't complain about, since this *is* what I want to do as a career and all, but c'mon now… I'm missing SYTYCD, Project Runway, Grey's, Glee, etc., etc…. LE SIGH. Too bad I can't afford a DVR :P Oh, Thansgiving and Winter breaks will be ALL about TV catch-up!!

Hope your Monday goes better than last – xoxo!!

J

28 Aritza, Goddess of .. September 28, 2009 at 6:25 am

Hahaha, Liz, you're hilarious :) lol You crack me up ! You'll never be just "UN" babe, you're unbeweavable always and forever!! Have a great week, and hopefully a better MONDAY !

29 Sarah Lynn September 28, 2009 at 7:25 am

I had bangs all the way up until college. I kinda miss them. Wife beaters and yoga pants are about all I feel like wearing when I'm pms-ing, too. I feel ya on that. Hope your week starts off well! :)

30 Nina (Femme Rationale) September 28, 2009 at 7:26 am

oooh big YES to bangs! can't wait for cooler weather…GAH! and i'm all for bottled sangria. miss you, love! xoxox

31 Jaime September 28, 2009 at 8:06 am

HAHA these are great! I totally agree w/ the fall tv one…too much to DVR and watch!!

32 LENORENEVERMORE September 28, 2009 at 8:08 am

I'm loving the Burberry look as well!
It's always sad to see or hear how many lives lost in natural disaster…so devastating! I'm puzzled by all these natural disasters that's been happening throughout the world…

33 Couture Carrie September 28, 2009 at 8:08 am

Hysterical post, darling Liz! My fave letter is the one to sangria in a bottle!!

xoxox,
CC

34 The Townhouselady September 28, 2009 at 8:09 am

Yes to bangs!

I hear you on the PMS thing. I'm pregnant so it's like permanent PMS. At 4.5 months I haven't broken down and bought those hideous maternity clothes with the up to your tits waistbands. I'm still trying to get by on the items you mention in your post.

Love the new look on the blog. Fiance of one of your favorite blogger buddies did a smashing job!

35 Kellie September 28, 2009 at 8:15 am

I could have written that same exact letter to sangria. Sangria and I are becoming the best of friends. :)

Oh and the bangs!?! Yes! You're going to look smoking! Not that you don't already!

xoxo

P.S. Dear Monday, Suck it! :)

36 Rose Red September 28, 2009 at 8:29 am

I wish my bangs looked that perfect. You should definitely get bangs.

37 Erika September 28, 2009 at 8:49 am

I would die without my bangs – I worship them. They're so much fun; but I can see where they can bug people in the summer. There are actually clip-on bangs now – Jessica Simpson/Ken Paves makes them – I wonder what those are like! :)

38 Jenni September 28, 2009 at 8:53 am

I love this post. I really need to do one (yes, copy off of you and all your amazingness!).

I actually dropped by to let you know that I'm doing a giveaway on my blog for a free year subscription to Fitness magazine. Check it out – it's a deal you don't want to miss (I swear!)

http://www.JenRem.com

The deadline is tomorrow morning so enter now!

39 Chessa! September 28, 2009 at 9:14 am

ooh…I feel you on the leggings, tshirts and all things comfy.
as for your redesign…I need your bloggy friend's fiancee's contact info stat! I was just about to post something to twitter bc it's time to redesign mine! :)
and, yes! too many fabulous shows on tv this fall. I kind of feel like a bit of a loser but I can't help it..I've never watched this myuch tv in my life. thank GOD for dvr.
I hope you have a fabulous week, dearie. xx

40 Hanako66 September 28, 2009 at 9:17 am

i feel like crap today…my bangs are pinned back, maybe that's why?!!

41 freeteyme September 28, 2009 at 9:17 am

Thanks girl for putting the Philippine Red Cross link to your blog – luv yah!!!

As for the letters – ha ha – so cute! The Sangria bottle is my fave and the fall TV schedule – just when summer schedule sucked – they crammed everything in fall! Happy Monday gorgeous! BTW, I am all for bangs!!!

42 Annie September 28, 2009 at 9:29 am

bangs, how awesome! you can rock any look pretty lady!
fall tv is OC! i can't keep up either. my DVR is about to explode.
i would like some sangria in a bottle to enjoy all of my shows while sitting home alone every night with my pup ;)
excited to see the new blog design!!
hope you are having a good day hun! :) xo

43 chicncheap September 28, 2009 at 9:30 am

Burberry 2010!

Seriously droolworthy. I need to win the lottery. Stat.

Glad you mentioned the Philippines – we have family there and they're ok. The Red Cross is so awesome and underappreciated.

44 Dream Sequins September 28, 2009 at 9:43 am

Hi darlin. I'm very excited about your new blog layout. Bring it :)

Monday is a rough time… especially when you had an amazing weekend, as I did.

But we'll get through this … oh yes we will! xx

45 Rachael September 28, 2009 at 9:55 am

Cute post dear! I was spending the last week in my yoga pants too = (

Love that Burberry dress/outfit! Very cool.

Hope this week is better for you!

46 Patty Ann September 28, 2009 at 10:27 am

bangs? yes. i can't pull 'em off, i look like a little dutch boy. un? i'm kind of curious but love the weavable. woman, it's amazing how much traffic you drove to my site today, you are a bloggess. and i have the worst pms on the planet. we refer to them as "episodes" over here.

i'm starting a "new" monday: martini day. how can anyone not look forward to that?

47 Laura September 28, 2009 at 10:53 am

Hi sweetie, yes we all have so many thoughts about to go with bangs or not. I have them now and still wear them back, to the side and can part them the middle. This way my honey never knows which hairstyle he's gonna get. Great post as always xoxo

48 Midtown Girl September 28, 2009 at 10:53 am

Love the burberry!!! And I cant wait to see your new bang – you will so gorgeous!!

Cant wait to see you new bloggie look too – yay!!

XOXO

49 Alicia September 28, 2009 at 10:54 am

i'm a firm believer that monday has no clue how to play nice…seriously…monday's a dirty filthy hooker. and amen for comfy clothes…damn bloating!! i'm like a friggin camel retaining all the water! i hope you're feeling better love! crush up some midol and toss it in a full throttle…mmmmm…. and yes to bangs!! even though you'll look GORGEOUS no matter what!! but bangs are seeeexy!

GG tonight! whoop whoop! it BETTER be better than last weeks…thats allimsayin! LOVE you woman! and do i have a story for you!!

50 The Socialite September 28, 2009 at 10:56 am

I think Monday & Tuesday of last week owe us some apologies for us! They did me wrong last week too.

I think this week will be much, much better though! ;)

51 ~KS September 28, 2009 at 11:13 am

Love this post… love it for so many reasons!! Your letters are adorable and hysterical! I can't possibly keep up with fall TV either… I feel like I need several TVs and an extra head to watch and process everything I want to watch. Ahhh!!

52 Shopaholic September 28, 2009 at 11:54 am

ha ha! great post!
ooh, bangs hey…? (or fringe as I would say). hmmmm good idea!

Hope your week is lovely! xx

53 OceanDreams September 28, 2009 at 11:56 am

Great letters love, I feel the same way about the TV shows, too many and too little time! Sigh. Your bangs are awesome no matter the heat, but I understand the frustration! Hope Friday comes quickly for both of us…

54 drollgirl September 28, 2009 at 12:01 pm

i need that sangria in a bottle. i was going to make some this weekend, but was too busy to do it. post a pic so i know what brand is good!

i FINALLY get a DVR on saturday. i cannot keep up with all of these killer shows. will i ever go out again? not bloody likely.

love the burberry. pretty much perfect!

hope this monday is good to ya1

55 LiLu September 28, 2009 at 12:04 pm

Dude. Socks with sandals…

I can't get past it.

56 bananas. September 28, 2009 at 12:05 pm

oh look sangria twin, we just might have a triplet (ie: drollgirl). AY YO!

i hate work right now. can't i just come over and lounge around in my yoga pants with you, drink sangria in a bottle and complain about my PMS pouch that's decided to appear today. i mean, really? ugh.

but my mood is good for a monday. i'd just rather be with my boo aka you.

57 bananas. September 28, 2009 at 12:05 pm

is it pouch or pooch? i say pooch.

58 Diana September 28, 2009 at 12:26 pm

dang, that girl in the photo looks pissed that it's monday, too!
when did you go to the Philippines??

59 lisa September 28, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Ick I hear you on the PMS…bloating always makes me want to reach for my most forgiving jeans (i.e. the ones with the most give in the waist).

60 orsoifeel September 28, 2009 at 1:06 pm

i wish i could pull off bangs… not so much! but you gorgeous girl… i have to see it, FIERCE!

i love these random posts, feels like we are chatting over coffee about our day.
xoxo

61 Gabbi September 28, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Great open letters dear Liz!! :)

Very much agree/relate, especially about what mostly recently happened in the Philippines. Prayers are with them.

62 Chelsea Talks Smack September 28, 2009 at 2:30 pm

oh yes, I have written that letter to those items in my closet too. I feel ya.

63 Shopn'Chomp September 28, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Super cute post…that "Keep Calm" pic? Super funny! :P Oh yah, I was dealing with the PMS blues too this weekend. But I'm peppy now or…at least tryin' to be. I can't wait to see your new look (bangs and blog)! :D Happy Monday…

64 Ali September 28, 2009 at 2:37 pm

I just love these blog letters (bletters?). So therapeutic. I might just have to take a cue from you and Naomi and a ton of other fab ladies. Anywho…sangria in a bottle. Yes please. And um, I think that's all? I'm so zoned out right now CC, forgive me!

65 E September 28, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Haha! Love the open letter format! And that hairstyle would look amazing on you!!

66 Lily G. September 28, 2009 at 4:36 pm

haha, I love this post idea Liz!! You're always so creative!

67 Summer September 28, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Girl, you crack. me. up!

Bangs, um….yes please!!! You will look amazing with those babies!

TV, ugh. TV makes me the giddy and happy, and kinda feeling like a loser for admitting it, but I just can't help it kind of a feeling.

Monday can kiss my….you know what….sooo feeling the grrrrr today. Already in my pjs, wife beater, and staring down the ice cream sandwiches!

muah!

68 Jill Pilgrim September 28, 2009 at 5:49 pm

Dear Liz,

I heart you.

Love,
Jill

69 Allison September 28, 2009 at 6:12 pm

I like your layout a lot better. I have a mini laptop and the last one drove me nutty because I had to scroll to the right or left to read your blog.

70 nicole addison September 28, 2009 at 6:35 pm

i left you an award on my blog lady :)

71 Jen September 28, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Bangs would look hot on you lady! Thanks for all your sweet words over at my bloggy home, always puttin a smile on my face, you are! :)

72 Mandizzle September 28, 2009 at 8:24 pm

Truly amazing…I must agree especially with the Fall TV schedule. I hate it, yet I really DON'T hate it at all. Who are we kidding, I love it.

73 Savvy Gal September 28, 2009 at 8:24 pm

a cute post Liz. I feel so bad for the people in Manila. It is so terrible.

74 Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's September 28, 2009 at 8:31 pm

Seriously, that Burberry outfit was AMAZING!

75 Style Porn September 28, 2009 at 9:20 pm

Ok a secret: Ustream.tv is doing a live chat with Heidi and Spencer tomorrow at 5pm. If you're a hills junkie like me, no amount of listening to these two asstards talk is ever enough. I'm obsessed.

It'll be here if you care to watch:

76 Meghan September 28, 2009 at 9:38 pm

I hope you and sangria are very happy together. What a good friend to have around.

77 kathleen October 1, 2009 at 11:13 am

Love the little letters and LOVE the hair photo. Too hip and gorgeous. You without the weave? This is a must see! Xoxo!

78 captivate me. October 1, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Dear Burberry Prorsum,
