annoyed by...


  • folks who think their email address begins with www. (this wouldn't bother me if I didn't have to sort through hundreds of emails every day).
  • mom bloggers who are lovely, smart, funny, and have interesting writing, but think they need to drop a lot of f-bombs to be hip (clearly they don't have children who are old enough to read over their shoulders).
  • james blunt's You're Beautiful song But we shared a moment that will last 'till the end. Ack, it's the neediest song.
  • that when I sleep on my face, I have lines from my eyes to my nose all morning.

    I'm actually having a great morning and don't feel annoyed at all right now. It's a gorgeous day outside and I got all my work done in the first hour of the day. I just had this list saved in a draft from a few weeks ago and thought I'd post it. Blogs are meant to document the meaningless junk we think about, right?
