Paintball.... in the sticks of Illinois. Good times!







What a day.... I haven't had that much fun, or been that sore, in a long time.


Things that annoy me......

I'm very irritable lately. Not sure why, maybe its the weather and I have a cabin fever or sorts. Whatever it is, I find myself biting my lip to not scream at people who say/do simple things....and I'm going to list them here as a way to vent.

People that say "vacay" instead of using the full word vacation
People that say "parm" instead of Parmesan
Apparently most shortened versions of words bother me......

Drivers who break in the middle of a curve... you break BEFORE the curve (if you have to) and accelerate through it... don't they know they have almost zero control while breaking through a curve.... get off my street!

Women who are OK with knowing absolutely nothing about cars

Photos of clothing online that look nothing like the item you actually receive after ordering

People getting paid 5 times what I do even though they can't write or spell

People that disable spell-check

When my dog will not sleep in line with us at the foot of the bed... she has to sleep the opposite direction. Its like having a second grader stretched out at your feet! She's not that small anymore

Gracie!

Flossing my teeth... its the same thing... every night... over and over and over....

When you get your car detailed, and 3 days later you can't tell

Red light cameras that take your photo even when the light is green... and you panic to yourself thinking "this is all a conspiracy" and think the city is just out to get you. it usually is.

$100 running shoes that won't stay tied because they have fancy-ass laces

Women who are applying make-up in the gym locker room..... BEFORE they go work out

My job....

Trying to be sarcastic over email.... and realizing that the other person doesn't get it....

Running out of mustard two bites shy of finishing that corndog

Trying to put ketchup on your hotdog in Chicago and having the entire hotdog stand sneer at you in disgust

Fake people.... if you don't genuinely like me, don't talk to me. I won't cry. I promise I'll be fine.

People that can't talk about anything but their kids. No matter how old the kid is.... its ALL they can talk about.

Narrow minds

People that were born in the US, their parents were born in the US, and they still can't speak english to save their lives. ASSIMILATE.... or leave.

Funnions. gross.

People that eat Funnions on public transportation.

When I do the laundry, washing something that is covered in Gracie hair, thinking washing it will get all the hair off, but instead it comes out with high density concentrated little balls of Grace hair stuck all over it. And stuck like they are sewn on... with her fine little hairs woven so tightly into the fabric of said garment that I actually hold it in my hand and talk myself out of throwing it directly down the garbage shoot.

Snow flurries

Below 40 degrees

Going up a pants size

Dog hair ingrained in my bed linens

Our new mattress.... BACK ACHE

When you're talking to someone, and you can tell they are lying or with holding something, and you give and give and give opportunity to come clean, and they keep skirting around and it gets worse and worse and worse until you have written that person off in your head but then they are still talking to you like you're friends..... that never goes well.

People who can't parallel park

The amount of sugar my husband puts in his coffee

The fact that even though there is a coffee spoon next to the coffee pot, he gets a new one each day so that by Friday morning when I get up there are 5 coffee spoons all on the coffee spoon dish... Does he not see them?!

Myself....lately I just annoy myself.

Thanks for listening.
