Things that annoy me


Sorry. I feel a slight need to vent or rather allow some insight (because I really am in a good mood), but let you know a little more about me and what drives me boonkers. Sometimes it just feels good to let it out.....ya know? so....

- Empty toilet paper rolls....still on the roll! Arrrggghhh...I mean, take the time to put a new roll on while your SITTING there. What else do you have to do?

- Words like ointment, moist, artsyfartsin, yogurt, crisp :) make me cringe. And my family feels the need to use these words as much as possible.

- Drivers that don't use their blinker....can't read your mind people!

- Texting. I just DON'T get it. In the time it takes to text a conversation among two people, you could have called them and been done a lot sooner.

- Previews before movies. Don't really know why. I either paid for or rented the movie and would just like to get to it.

- When your standing in a really long grocery line and a new line opens up and the person behind you goes for the new line. Really? It's just rude don't you think. Next in line people, next in line should go first.

- Women food hoarders. I say women because my shopping experience has only involved them. I get that it's a good deal and you want to feed your family and all, but are you seriously going to use all 50 boxes of granola bars in the next month and a half before they go on sale again? It's called Coupon Common Courtesy :)

- Blue Tooths. I get the need for them, but when your out in public and someone is walking towards you and talking and you can't see the black thing shoved in their ear, naturally you assume they are talking to you. So you try to talk back and realize they aren't talking to you and they give you this "what is your problem" look and you feel like a total idiot and want to crawl under a hole and die. Not that this has happen to me, I'm just sayin....that's what I've heard. lol

- Weird products to buy on tv or anywhere for that matter. Sorry to anyone who may have purchased these things.
bumbit
snuggie
chia pet
shake weight
aqua globes

So I'm done. Rambling about my daily "drive me nuts' "! Thanks for listening. I am curious about yours. So please leave a comment and let it be know :)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

To celebrate this day, here are some things for you to play!

Make your own Cat in the Hat to wear at your feast



of Green Eggs and Ham, but sorry no roast beast.



Some Oobleck as well to squish through your fingers,



or pencils that look like those crazy little thingers!



Hope you have fun now that you have lots to do,

Anyone else getting Spring Fever?


I was until it SNOWED....sometimes I just hate that stuff.
Anyway, check out these super cute ideas from Martha!



I desperately want (lol) one of these branch tree things. I see them everywhere in everyone's home, but mine, and you could deck them out for every holiday!





Both the candles and place mat...so simple and so cute!




Such a pretty table setting. I have never done anything like this, but would sure love to!

So needless to say I am for sure over this thing they call winter.
