Stuff That Bugs Me

1) Boston Globe trying to be like New York Times but not managing it because Boston is not New York. We are not New York and that’s okay!
2) Self-consciousness (as opposed to self-awareness)
3) Losing weight in areas that don’t need to lose weight; not losing weight in areas that do.
4) Bellowing children
5) Not being able to figure out what makes children bellow
6) Being bored at the gym
7) Stupid heel-dragging editors
8) Roof repair
9) Having to listen to the roof repair man talk endlessly about roofing
10) Uncertainty
11) When my hair looks great but I really have to work out — and thus ruin the do
12) People who don’t RSVP
13) Realizing that I don’t RSVP sometimes, either
14) Discovering a bug (in the house) that reminds me of a baby cockroach
15) People who don’t click on the Tabblo and then thank me for sending it to them. Lies!!!
16) Not being able to lie in the sun because it’s bad for me
17) Ned will not buy a new car, and his is 13 years old
18) Kid birthday parties that are held in a faraway place
19) Meaningless lists that don’t even go up to 20

The car thing with Ned is so funny to me-my husband has a 6 figure salary-with crazy bonuses every year. He still has his 1997 Honda accord-with dents and a broken windshield. He will not but a new one until it dies. he is of the mindset that if it still runs and does not guzzle gas what is the big deal? Nice to know that Ned is not into his self image. I hope it is at least a good car.

Hey, thanks, I just remembered I need to RSVP something. How much are stamps now and what do they even look like?

#9) switch that to plumber 🙂

Does Ned not want to get rid of his car? Is there something wrong with it?

People who slow down for an accident on the other side of the interstate; aka rubberneckers.

Nothing really wrong with Ned’s car; but I do worry that the air bags may not deploy b/c it is a 1994, very old.
