Things that piss me off #467

People who have so much shit in their garage that they can’t fit their cars in there. Thus, they end up parking in the street (I guess because they don’t want to mess up their driveway???) and making driving a huge PITA! Clean your sty you morons. You will never need the crap you’ve deemed so worthy that it needs to be boxed up in the damn garage. Throw it out or sell it!

Dear God,

What have you done to my beloved Heroes? The show was so good when it started. Now I find myself annoyed, confused, and generally pissed off while watching it. It seem that the acting has actually gotten worse as the show has progressed. Is that even possible? Every scene “Peter” is in makes me cringe a little bit. If it weren’t for my love of Noah Bennet, I might give up the show all together. But I love his character so I will stick it out. And I even am liking Sylar now that he is more than just a one trick killing pony.

Why would future Claire try to shoot future Peter? HE CAN’T DIE MORON! A gun isn’t going to work. And while we’re talking of mistakes. Why in season one did everyone have to “Save the Cheerleader”? We see not she can’t die, so why would she have died when Sylar took her power back then? Lame.

Please kill off Maya this season. And bring back the dude from the past that can’t die. The one Hiro trapped in a coffin. I live him the 2nd most. Oh yeah, and Hiro is fucking annoying. Kill him to, quickly.

Amen.

Mood: frumpy

This morning I woke up and had to go grocery shopping. This is quickly becoming my least favorite chore. It seems every week when I go, someone does something there to annoy the piss out of me.

But that’s not the bad part. Oh no. I actually walked out of the house today wearing yoga pants! Now,I’m not going to lie and say this is the 1st time. It’s not. But the other times I was pregnant and when I am pregnant I am allowed to dress like a homeless person. Plus I could still fit into my skinny clothes so I looked semi cute and thin then. But now I have no excuse.

I tried. I actually looked at my jeans when I was getting dressed. Then I said “screw it” and threw on the yoga pants.

I did top off this look with flip flops and a mom ponytail. Not to be confused with one of those cute “messy” ponytails that look good. This was a “I haven’t brushed my hair today” ponytail.

And to the guy in front of me at the checkout line: I saw you eat those grapes. Dude, you were 2 minutes from being out of there. Were you THAT starving? You hadn’t missed many meals by the look of you.

I’m just sayin’

LMAO

This is Thing 1’s favorite commercial ever. We walk around saying “pasta playa hater” all day now.

And then I cried

Yesterday afternoon Thing 1 came up to me out of nowhere and asked me how your “heart breaks”. I asked him what he meant by that. If he could give me an example. He said “well, if you died my heart would break”.

OMG.

I told him that in that instance it means you are really sad, not that your heart physically breaks. I also went on to tell him that mommy was not going to die. He countered with “well if someone shoots you, you’d be dead”. I told him no one was going to shoot mommy because I was too strong. He was satisfied with that answer and went to play.

Then I started to cry. I can’t imagine leaving my kids behind. What a horrible thing to have happen to kids, yet it happens daily. I sobbed for 5 minutes after that.

Pancreatic Cancer

It’s been in the news a lot more latley. Patrick Swayze has it.  So did Professor Randy Pausch who became famous for his speech “the Last Lecture”.  Michael Landon died from it. But what sparked my post about it today? Turns out one of my internet friends lost her father from it. I had no idea. I can’t imagine losing a family member to such a horrible disease My thoughts are with her today.

So let’s see the stats on it. Last year there were 37,680 new cases and 34,290 deaths. There are currently no early tests to diagnose this disease. It’s not found till people present with symptoms of it. By then the cancer may be too far advanced.

An obsession

I have a weird obsession. Some people collect weird things. For a while my grandmother collected roosters. What do I collect?

No, it’s not Whataburger cups. I have a need to buy wrapping paper! I love it! I get all excited when kids are selling it at their school. The last 2 years no one has asked me to buy any and I’m a little pissed about it. I need wrapping paper!

I love the paper with sparkles, with foil, the reversible, the recycled,! OMG I love it all!

At the Container Store yesterday I was in heaven looking at all the cute paper they had. It’s a sickness I tell you, a sickness.

Warm Delights Minis: a review

Last week I tried the “3 minute cake in a coffee mug” that was on the bargain board. Well that cake blew. Tasted horrible and instead I ate the rest of the chocolate chips I had. So this week I was craving the Betty Crocker Warm Delights.

At the store I was goign to pick some up when I saw they had these “Mini” versions of them. Perfect! I don’t need a whole one, a mini will be the perfect size to cure my craving.

Wrong!

These things are just large enough to piss me off. I’ve eaten one and I’m ready to kill for the other one. I promised it to Thing 1 but I fear I am about to break my promise. How can anyone be satisfied by these little things? It’s like wanting a donut and deciding “maybe one donut hole is all I need”. No, it’s not.

Snack food FAIL!

Things I didn’t even know I needed

Only one store can make me realize I have been living a deprived life. One store can make me realize there is so much crap that I NEED. One store and make me think of getting a second job to support my shopping habit.

And that store is the Container Store.

OMG how have I lived my life without a $179 trash can? Do my friends laugh at me when they come over and my hot dogs aren’t being stored in a hot dog container?  Will my husband leave me for another woman because I don’t have a $50 kitchen drawer organizer (in mahogany BTW)

My head is spinning and my credit card is burning. Don’t even get me started on the thousand dollar closets. I can’t have a closet that costs more than my wardrobe.

Things I never thought I would say

Put your penis away

Don’t hit your brother with that stick

Everyone in the mall just saw your butt. Are you embarassed now?

Stop eating the dog

No! No bitting nipples
