Yep, apparently there are enough to warrant an entire post. Who knew? I think it’s the “cranky” pregnant lady in me coming out to play, what do you think?
- Sephora is leaving my mall. I guess it’s not SO bad, as it is moving to another mall here in town. HOWEVER, this mall it is moving to is the super snooty high-fallutin’ one down waaaaaaaay to the south of town. Since we already live in the BFE north of town area, this amounts to about a road trip to get to this mall. And once I get there, I feel all inferior-like because all the stores there are so much better than me. Oh, don’t try to placate me. They are. It was bad enough that the mall we normally would go to is a good 20 minute drive on the interstate away from home. Now we’re talking 30-40 minutes! Oh hells naw. I want my Sephora back in my mall where it belongs! I maintain that Reno can support TWO Sephora stores! Sure, I mean, it’s not like I ever actually BUY anything there, but where the heck am I going to browse wistfully now?? Brookstone? I think not!
- “Yo Gabba Gabba” is coming to Noggin at the end of the month. Now, this show is one of the big reasons (other than wanting to escape the constant commercials for Barbie, the Island Princess) I switched from Nick Jr. to Noggin in the mornings. Now what the hell am I supposed to do? Is there nowhere sacred in cable tv-land that I can escape this abomination of a show?? Perhaps there are some out there that think this show is okay or maybe even (gasp) good, but I am not one of them. This show makes me want to give myself my own lobotomy. I’m *hoping* that since it premieres on a Saturday that it’ll stay on Saturday. I should know better than to actually believe that, but at this point, it’s all I’ve got.
- People that put outrageously large rims on their wheels. Do you know what I’m talking about? Something like this. Why does this bother me so much? It looks goofy, that’s why. Whenever I see a vehicle where the rims are huge and the tire is wee… well, it makes me want to key their car. And have you ever noticed, that half the time this look shows up on the crummiest looking cars you could ever hope to find? Why, I just saw a five year old Chevy Malibu of all cars with enormous rims. And the rims were easily the cleanest thing on this car as the rest of it was absolutely filthy with the dirty they always insist on throwing down on the roads around here in the winter (of course, I’m one to talk as my van is the filthiest thing I’ve ever seen. Let’s just say, it’s a good thing it’s a brown van. It’s just that now instead of a brown van with black windows it’s a brown van with grey windows.). Anyhow, the look just annoys me. It’s about as far from practical as you can get and I like to think of myself as somewhat practical.
- The new bed being moved closer to the door to our bedroom as perpetrated by my husband. You can read all about WHY this cheeses me off in this post over here.
- Broken engagements. This has to do with disappointment, as I discussed recently. I know it’s silly to get upset over canceled plans as much as I do, but I do anyhow. It’s a vicious cycle. What does it say about my self worth? About my ego? The questions and possibilities are endless. GAH.
The good news is I was going to include the Writer’s Strike but it’s OVER so I don’t have that to be upset about anymore. In fact, they’re going to finish out the “LOST” season properly (OMG, was last night good or what??) which makes me irrationally HAPPY. So there you go. That should even things out some. So tell me: What gets your blood boiling? And does your husband look at you like your nuts when you rant about it too?

Brace yourself. I have never even been IN to a Sephora store.
(I KNOW)
It makes me sad.

Poor, poor Loralee (and the rest of the state of Utah)….
I haven’t watched last night’s episode of “Lost” yet. I can’t wait much longer.
Bitch away…I love it.

I think I would totally plotz if Sephora left my mall. Um, where else can I get my Urban Decay lip gloss? Anyone? Bueller?

1) Sephora. If I had money, I’d be there. But I don’t. So bleah.
2) Yo Gabba sucks. The one I saw anyway. Sorry, people. But I’d rather rot my daughter’s brain with something that won’t give us all nightmares. So TiVo is my cure. Noggin/Gabba is just peachy when you have TiVo and the power to skip the crud.
3) Meh. Those rims don’t bug me. They’re different, but so what. Better than the balls some people hang from their trailer hitches. And better than stupid or annoying bumper stickers.
4) Simply MOVE it BACK. Find a partner in crime and any time he moves it, get the person to come over and move it back before he gets home. Stand firm, Sister!!!
5) WELL. I’m sorry this is still buggin you. Must have been big. Sorry..
As for me? Only things bugging me recently are a jerk on ebay that gave me bad feedback I didn’t deserve (and I’m pretty much over that one) and the fact that my monthly budget didn’t go up this month as promised by hubby. Irritating? Yes. Frustrating? Yes. But oh well. And he does look at me like I’m crazy about the jerk and I haven’t said much about the budget. It’s an internal frustration.

You know what I find more annoying than big rims on regular tires? People who put SPINNERS on their POS vehicles. Like spinners are going to class up their car. I also think that perhaps people who put items like huge rims on their cars (or monster truck tires on a regular pick up)are compensating for something. Like theyhave something else that is embarassingly small so they must have big items on their cars to feel good about themselves.
Oh, and the only Sephora I’ve found in my area? You want to talk about road trip to get to that mall, and it’s not even a good mall! So, I sadly have not been to it more than once since we’ve been here.
The bed would bug me too. Especially if it being closer to the door meant that my night stand got moved and I couldn’t get into it as easily anymore. Hey, when the co-sleeper gets attached, that will make the bed look “uncentered” again and it can be moved back to where it was, maybe?
