Pet Peeve of the Day:

People that don't understand that my little car does not take off immediately on snow & ice.  I have a 2000 Mazda Protege, and while it is a good little car, it really does not like to get going when there is a hint of snow or ice on the roads.  The tires spin, it goes nowhere, and I pray that it will somehow get an ounce of traction so it moves in a forward direction.  People don't seem to understand this.  I was making a turn a few days ago, and I admit it, I was going totally slow, but I could not get traction.  The car behind me was beeping and doing the hand "what the F are you doing" wave.  Ugh.  Embarrassingly, I got a bit of road rage after that episode and followed too closely down the highway (I ended up following all the way from Plymouth to St. Michael on that one!).  I try not to do road rage-y things with my l'il fish symbol on the back of my car, it just doesn't show a good example.  That fish has saved me a few really dumb moves.

Anyway, people, be patient!  I am going, I know that I am not going, I am trying to get going, just give me time!

Winter.

cold thermometer

(Or in our case, there is no red even showing, it's so cold).

Winter, go away.

Pet peeve of the day:

Award Shows.



I mean, really?  How many award shows does there need to be?  Tonight the Golden Globes are on.  Hey, I like celebrity gossip and scandals as much as the next person, but do they need to have 53 award shows to try to justify why "movie stars" make millions of dollars per movie/episode while our educators & service workers barely make enough to live on?  That's another topic for a different day, but it just annoys me that there are so many award shows nowadays.

Pet Peeve of the Day:

Melissa's hair - from Top Chef.



Her hair actually looks somewhat decent in this photo, but the time that she was on the show (she got voted off yesterday), it was mostly stringy and greasy looking.  Ugh!

Welcome

I like to complain a lot, I admit it.  Things bug me.  Several things annoy me.  People get tired of hearing about it.  I thought this mayd be a good venue to get out some of my frustrations about the world.

Hope you enjoy.
