I have issues...

1. If you are thinking of becoming a beautician, you must be able to carry on a conversation with your clients. I have stopped going to see stylist who could not talk to me as they cut my hair. I gave up one who did an excellent job on my hair but would only speak to the other women who worked in the shop. She would answer questions I asked, but never engage in conversation. The girl I go to now is wonderful. I've been twice & will go back. This makes me happy especially since she owns her own shop in the small town near us. I'd rather give her my business than a mega chain.
2. If you call me and do not want to leave a message on my machine, please decide that before it beeps. I HATE getting messages that consist only of 45 seconds of background noise as though the person on the phone is finishing a quadratic equation before leaving their message.
3. For some reason, going through the McDonald's drive-thru in your pajamas is much more exciting than going in your street clothes...even if it means you don't get to stay up later than normal to get your bath. Just ask my kids.
4. There is some kind of weird weather vortex hanging out at the playground behind Busha and Bucka's church. It will be beautiful and 75 at my house, but windy and 60 there...and it's only 5 miles away.
5. My mother is evil and must be destroyed. Why else would she ask my kids if their other grandpa was coming home from having lunch with his girlfriend when we saw him in town today? Not only that, but she told #1 Son to ask his grandpa if he has a girl friend...can I just add that my in-laws have no sense of humor & would not find this funny? Evil I tell you...
6. Peeps should only be allowed at Easter. Christmas Peeps are of the devil.
7. Portrait studio employees are masters at the fine art of manipulation. How can you possibly pass up all the extra poses they took of your precious toddler when they're headed straight to the shredder? And for that matter, why can you get 58 portraits for $6 but one 8x10 will cost you $23.95?
8. I got B.B. a new Cars hat today because he left his old ball cap at the movies on Christmas. I did not get a new hat for #1 Son because he has a perfectly good Spider-Man hat. When it was time to leave the house, #1 Son couldn't find his hat anywhere.
9. Does every woman in the 4 surrounding counties wear the same bra size I do? All I wanted was a bra in my (new) size without molded cups, water balloon inserts, weird clear straps, a racer back, or neon green frogs. A nice, pretty bra with straps that are not going to cut into my shoulders with in 45 minutes of dressing in the morning. It's not going to fit me in 2 more months anyway.
10. Am I whiny today, or is it just my imagination?
