    Default Thank you notes

    Help! I'm trying to pound out a few thank-you notes for my birthday gifts. My in-laws gave me a card with $100 in it. Normally in a thank-you note for money I'd tell the recipiant what I purchased, and how much I enjoy it.

    Problem being that I did squat with it. Seriously, I have nothing to show. I got breakfast, gas, smokes, a news paper, and laundry quarters, and a pizza while I did laundry.

    They know I dance, would it be rude to just say thanks for a day off? That's pretty much what I got myself.

    Any ideas?

    Hey Girl,

    I think that's a really great idea! Thanking them for allowing you to take a much needed and very enjoyed day off sounds like your best bet. You did get use of it, and they'll know you appreciate the day off their $100 provided you.

    Here is along the lines of the one I just wrote my grand mother:

    Thanks for the beautiful card and gift.
    I will (or have, specifics not needed) put it to good use.
    I have been doing well so far this year in school ( work, life, whatever) and am having a great time.

    I hope you are also doing well.
    (insert something about family here, funny is good, never anything sad).
    (say how much you miss them, love them, appriciate them, or something good for a conclusion here).
    Talk to you again soon. (or write, or see)
    Thanks again.
    Your Name.

    You can keep it brief by getting cute but smaller sized stationary, and I always put a sticker or something cute. Or just write big.

    I didn't know people actually wrote thank you notes at all, except for weddings, showers and the like.

    Hee. My grandparents are the opposite. They'd positively die if they knew I danced, but they couldn't care less that I don't do thank you notes, or that I date younger guys.

    My mom went ballistic when she found out my little sister didn't send thank you notes when she got married. They fought about it for months. I was confused by it since my sister has always been real good about those things. So she finally sent them about 3/4 of a year late and my mom went ballistic again.

    Anyways, saying you appreciate it helping you have a day to yourself sounds like a great idea.

    I may be VERY old fashioned, but paying someone a compliment or thanking them doesn't cost anything and comes back to you in many ways.

    Heck, I've written thank you notes to strippers who've shown me a good time!
