inspired by Tessie....

Things that annoy me or that just suck!

1. EVERYONE on MacArthur Blvd From 114 to 635. You all suck! I hate you! Learn to carpool or better yet eat lunch at your freaking office once in awhile so i don't have to watch you scarf down a disgusting hamburger while you almost crash into me while "driving", talking on your cellphone, and eating at the same time!

2. People who use the Handicap doors when they're not handicap! STOP BEING LAZY!!!! open the freaking door yourself!!!!

3. Movie's that make a mockery out of the books they are based on. Harry Potter!
I went to see "The Nanny Diaries" with a friend last weekend! If you haven't read the book you'll probably like it, however if you have... don't let the movie spoil it. It totally sucks!

4. Bachelorette parties consisting of dinner and bowling! Are you KIDDING me? Am I the only one who thinks male strippers and booze?!?! I know it's all kinds of classy but seriously. How is "bowling" celebrating your last night as a single gal?

5. Finishing a book in an on going series when you have to wait for at least a year for the next one to come out! I know nothing can be done about this... it just irritates me!

Stay at home moms.... how DO you do it?!

Okay maybe it's because I'm sick but seriously I can't stay at home all day.
So all week I've been fighting this head crap that is going around. This morning I "wake up" and before I even attempt to take a shower I bow out, call my boss and tell him I'll be working from home today and then fall back asleep until 9. I stumble out to the couch, fire up my laptop and get ready to work. When all I want to do is go to sleep. I fight through the first couple of hours, thinking this is nice... I can listen to John Coltrane and Louis Armstrong while I work... (I'm an old 25 I know...) then lunch time rolls around. So I set my alarm and crash on the couch for an hour. Wake up at 2 and finish my "shift". My clients must have known I wasn't feeling up to par, because they really laid off today, so I was able to catch up on some things that have been collecting dust. So 6 finally rolls around and I realize I've never been more bored in my LIFE! Granted I don't have children running around to occupy my time but seriously. So now my entire house is clean, all the laundry is done and my bag for the weekend is packed, (I'm going down to visit my parents this weekend) and all I want to do is be outside. I'm going to bed... even this post is lame....

seriously...

Okay so right after my first blog last night I decided I was hungry, I hadn't eaten dinner and it was kind of late so I thought I'll make eggs... they're so easy right? WRONG!
I get an egg and lay it on the counter, for those of you who don't know eggs roll, and this one lived up to it's expectation cause it rolled right off the counter and onto the floor... behind the REFRIGERATOR!!! How in the world can I get to it!?!?! So I have a galley kitchen for those that's don't know what that is it's a hallway with cabinets on either side... it's the dumbest waste of space in the world. so I move the fridge out as far as it will go before it hits the other side, jump up on the counter, and try to jump down in a small space without tripping on the wires and filtration system all the while not trying to step in the egg. I finally get it cleaned up. jump back up on the counter as i do this i put my hand in the nasty egg goop i had just cleaned up. so i raise up really quick and hit my head on the cabinets above me.... i'm an idiot i know just thought you guys would like that

thanks erin....

So after several conversations with Erin starting off with "Go read Tessie's blog..." I decided to join this little blogging cult. Not really sure how this works but after the wonderful advice of "who cares, just write" I'll give this thing a shot. I make no promises however...
So I'll start with this, it was a random Tuesday and after seeing a friend's apartment for the first time the night before I decided it was time to revamp my house. I'm at work printing off copies of my floor plan and with a ruler and a pencil (ocd at it's finest) am mapping out where all of my furniture is now and on another copy where it all should be. After several hours of mapping it out perfectly...(what a wonderful way to spend the work day) I get home, move everything accordingly and HATE it! so much that I wanted to cry. So, I then throw the stupid floor plans away and end up arranging the furniture some way completely different from either original design.... see people there is no since in planning, it never turns out how you originally thought it should!
how's that?
