Pet Peeves

-It's called a TURN SIGNAL for a reason. Use it people

-Just because you're NOT in a rush, doesn't mean I have all day as well. Drive the speed limit people. I have places to go and people to see, and naps to take.

-A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Deal with it.

-It's weird, but I hate when 2 light switches at either ends of the hallway are not both DOWN when the light is off. I like them both down when the light is off. One up if the light is on. When the light is off and one switch is down but the other is up it drives me crazy. Like I will get out of bed to flip the switches both down so that we can all live in harmony.

-Speaking of harmony... BLANKET HARMONY.... it HAS to be there. I can't crawl into bed and have someone hogging the covers, or they have a sheet and I have a blanket and then there is a final blanket covering the mess. No the blankets should be smooth and even and cozy. Thus equaling blanket harmony. I'm telling you, if there were more blanket Harmony in the world there would be no wars

-Speaking of beds. If you're a couple (or we're a couple) then you (we) should sleep in the same bed. Seriously. Sleeping on the couch here and there is fine, but on a regular basis... it's just dysfunctional, and weird.

-People who can't own up to their own faults, so they find it necessary to place blame elsewhere. ANYWHERE other than themselves. You screw up your human, deal.

-People who are OBVIOUSLY skinny and yet bitch, and yes I said bitch, about being fat. Listen if you are even REMOTELY in the acceptable weight range for your height, then shut the heck up! I don't care if you run 10miles a day, I don't care how many people told you how good you look, and I don't care how much weight you've lost. I definitely don't want to see your latest push up move, and I don't want to see how much material you can stretch from your pants to show me how much weight you've lost. You're skinny, I'm fat. I get it. SHUT UP already, and pass me a burger.

-People who find it necessary to undermine my intelligence as a human, and as a parent. While I may not be book smart, I am in fact people smart, and street smart. I may not know why exactly E=mc2 but I DO know that you're a jerk, and I do know that you pointing out how stupid I am, is just a cover up for you own feelings of inadequacy. As far as the parenting thing goes... Just because I laugh my arse off and let my boy play outside till dark does not mean I'm a bad parent. He's a kid. He deserves to run and play just like we did when we were little. And no a little weight watchers yogurt will not kill him. It's not loaded with saccharine it's low sugar. Get over it. It's summer, he doesn't need to go to bed at 730 in the summer, and he can have yogurt. Being a crab butt does not make you a better parent, more intelligent, or overall better than I. Yes you can question my decisions, but don't be so smug as to think you are the only one that has his best interest at heart. Because that is simply asinine

-The person who reads this blog, not because you stumbled upon it, not because you were told about it or invited to it by me, or through one of my friends, and not because you actually care about who I am or how I'm doing. But you read it because your simply nosey and want to see if I'm behaving myself, and you want to get dirt on me. I KNOW who you are, I KNOW that you're here, and I've seen you checking up on me. You don't bother me, you don't scare me,--Pedro offeres me his protection!-- and you can continue all you want. (even though we see each other often and you could just ask how things are... but you don't) But know this... I know you're here, I know WHY you're here, and you're not fooling me. I'm glad you find my life this entertaining.

-People who don't understand the concept of teamwork. There is no I in team. It's a cliche` for a reason. Think about it.

-People who have no interest in church, or God on a regular basis, but once you throw in a person who is nice (and somewhat attractive) :) and spiritually minded they get all Praise God, I feel the Holy Spirit Speaking. Just to fit in. Come on dude. Be yourself. Either be apathetic or searching, or don't. Don't be searching just to be cool.

-People who are just plain mean. I don't get you. I don't know why you're that way. Is it really that hard to just mind your manners and be polite. I'm not asking for a hug, or even a high five, but a thank you or a please would be great.

-People who can't use their God given brain! THINK my friend. THINK. Use your head, as my dad used to say.

-Double standards. They kill me.

-Rules written in stone. Why? If it isn't one of the original 10 commandments, then it probably shouldn't be in stone.

-Closed minds. If you're not opened minded and open to new things, new opinions, new ideas, then you're not growing. And if you're not growing, you're dying. (and you're a jerk)

-Fair weather fans. Seriously if you can't tell me when the Olympia closed and the Joe opened, then you're not a real Wings fan. If you can't remember one game when they were the suckiest team in the league, then your not a fan.

-People who think that because I'm not jumping for joy to be single, means that I still have the hots for my x. Not true. That is done. There is no going back. When I'm done... I'm done. And I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo done. But, divorce is sad. It's not a party. It's a sad, depressing, crappy thing. Never mind the fact that it makes me feel like the biggest looser in the world, I have a son that doesn't have his dad in the house regularly. It's sad, and I'm sorry but I can't pretend that it's not. Though, this is not to say that come August 15th there won't be a party. LOL.

-Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Your actions WILL affect someone somewhere at SOME point in time. Grasp that. Think about it. THEN do your thing.

-Hard Ice Cream... seriously... is it necessary? I mean you just let it sit there until it gets soft anyway. Cut out the middle man, and go with soft ice cream to begin with.

There... I feel better now. :)

Dang, do I have issues or what? LOL
