I LOVE writing thank you notes! I actually take pride in how they look, the stamp, and do my best to make them as personal as possible! I know many people do this but, I really love writing them. It is one of my dorkisms, Chad thinks it is rediculous how I refuse to let anyone help me or do any work for the note, I want everyone who took their time and money to give Harry a gift to know I really do appreciate them. Chad was in charge of putting addresses on the cards and we decided on labels not only is his handwriting bad but, now I can have a label for announcements. I was writing a few thank yous over the weekend for the many gift cards we received. I am by no means busting on the gift card gift, one of my very favorite gifts and we have recieved a plethera of them! I am 100% sure they will be great for all of those unexpected items that will suprise us! I just have trouble making my thank you notes original and interesting when writing about a gift card. I was writing one to one of my old assistant principals who is a ball of fun and decided to spice some of these notes. I really did send this and realized, how tacky this would be to so many people, or how there could be people who do not catch the joke. Thank goodness most of my blogging friends have senses of humor that could only appreciate the thank you note block! I had to share:
Dear Mr. Myers,
Thank you so much for the generous gift card! Harry will love the margarita mix we bought with it, it will look so pretty in his bottle and I am sure he will be a much easier baby! The cute little pistol we bought is adorable for a baby. Chad had to register it under his name because they refused to register a gun to an unborn baby (what is this world coming to). Don't worry, I am sure he will be great at sharing his toys at day care! The left over balance will be great for all of the unexpected items that will suprise us new parents, like bullets, new make up(for me of course), Chad's new golf balls ect... Thank you so much for your continued love and support, I do miss you over here. Oh and when Harry doesn't sleep at night I will be sure to send him to your office to straighten him out!
Love,
Amanda
and Baby Harry

omg! i think i just peed in my pants laughing outloud at that post! i could just see you writing those! how funny...LOVED it! i too like writing personal, hand-written thank yous and encouragement/get well cards!! kudos!
Omigosh - Chad was actually laughing at that one!! Really - you have got to have the most creative mind to come up with a Thank You note like that!! And can I just say how happy I am to hear that there are still "cool" individuals out there that enjoy writing thank you notes and see the importance in them?!! You make me proud!!!
So funny! You are so creative! And yes, make up is a baby necessity-Harry's momma has to look good!
I hate writing thankyou notes, even though I'm with you on how important it is to take the time to do them if someone took the time to give you something. You got SO much that I bet you have 100s to write! Hope your hand gets some rest!
You are so funny! I love your sense of humor! I'm with Kim, I don't like them (especially when there are 100s and you are a procrastinator), but it's really important and the least you can do to express your appreciation. I love to make them personal, too, bc the people took the time to send you a gift!
a,
i love this! this is something i would do and probably send it.
I like how your mind works...:)
Hilarious!! Did you really send it?
That cracks me up!
I can't believe you are almost two weeks away from meeting Harry or sooner:) I hope Chad knows how to download pictures to the blog b/c I can't wait to see him! Are you dilated any?? I loved seeing Chad's diaper bag...that is super sweet. Hope you are still feeling good.
