Don't you hate when you get a new, optical, wireless mouse and you're sitting at a little bistro table on your second story balcony and when you reach for the mouse you knock it off the table and it falls to the concrete patio below and smashes?
Yeah, I hate that too.
The State of California just had a political primary a few months ago. Now I'm getting mail for another primary in June for a bunch of judges and other politicos, most of whom are running unopposed, plus a couple of Propositions. Can someone explain why we are having another primary? The state has no money. They are talking about adding new taxes. And yet, they schedule two primaries just a few months apart. So now they have to print all this literature (and I usually get like five different booklets before the election), mail them, and pay people to work the polling places. Did any of the geniuses who run this state think, hey, why don't we have just one primary and put all the elections together? Am I missing something?
Apparently I'm living my life in the past tense. The battery in the clock in my living room has died. I keep forgetting and glancing up and then having a moment's confusion because I can't figure out why the clock says it is 10:45. Similarly, the calendar in my kitchen is set to last November. I glance at it to think what day xyz will happen on and realize it's totally useless.
Why is it the pens never work when you are at the bank filling out the deposit slip? There's always just that one that works, which someone is already using, while you eat up all the paper scribbling to get any of the others to work. Is it that hard to have a supply of refills on hand? You know, take a little of all those bank fees you charge us and actually put it into something that benefits the customers? Just a thought.
**Note--Weekend Peeve!
Walking on hardwood and vinyl flooring, wearing Crocs, and sitting on a wooden toilet seat, I manage to electric static shock my ass. How the hell does that happen? Seriously.
For whatever reason, I find the scent of lavender to be neither calming nor soothing. It actually makes me want to rip my face off. Why is it that all products designed to calm and soothe smell like lavender? I really need to be calmed and soothed so if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
My stupid phone cord keeps tangling itself up so that when I pick up the phone I can't actually pick up the phone because the cord is too tangled. Is it 4:30 yet?
When will I ever learn? After spending $60 on the most adorable wooden shopping cart (made out of sustainable materials by Fair Trade Thai workers and finished with non-toxic paints), all the kid wants to play with is the little bottle of sprinkles ($1.29 at Albertsons) that I put in the basket. Is it possible that she's developed teenaged spite for me already or am I just being overly sensitive?
I am so fucking overwhelmed with every single thing going on in my life right now. Nothing is major on it's own, but put all 50 things together, and I feel myself going under.
The whole point of giving my son a sippy cup of milk in the morning is so he can take it in the car and drink it on the way to daycare if needed.
If you don't put the little spill-proof plug in the lid of the cup? You're going to spill the milk.
