This past weekend we put the dogs in doggie jail and went to see a Royals game/spend some time with J’s parents. We got back last night. I have photos/commentary/blah blah blah, but for now? Right now I am feeling Really Incredibly Irritable, and here are the topics that I want to not be mentioned in my presence for just, you know, TWO HOURS.* Or even one half hour.
* I am so far behind on reading blogs that if you have discussed any of these topics, I am not talking about YOU SPECIFICALLY. I’m talking about EVERYONE in GENERAL. I am ranting at MANKIND, and so I am sorry. I AM GUILTY, TOO. But I HAVE THIS RAGE. I WANT EVERYONE TO STOP COMPLAINING AND MAYBE CHANGE ONE SMALL BEHAVIOR THAT COULD WORK TOWARD SOLUTIONS.
Without further ado, these are the things I am so sick of hearing about that they make me want to punch the speaker in the face:
1. The weather. I KNOW IT IS STILL COLD. IF ONE MORE PERSON ASKS ME HOW I LIKE THE WEATHER I WILL EXPLODE. IT IS SPRING. SOMETIMES SPRING IS COLD. SOMETIMES IT IS NOT. ALSO: THIS IS NOT PROOF THAT OUR CLIMATE IS NOT CHANGING. I DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT NON-LOGIC. SHUT UP ABOUT THE STUPID WEATHER, AND SHUT UP WITH THE SMUG REMARKS THAT LIBERALS ARE WRONG. THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
2. Gas prices. Gas is expensive! Yes! And it will get more expensive, because we all keep paying for it, and we’re not changing our habits! So do something about it (drive less comes to mind, as well as maybe not driving hauling vehicles when nothing is being hauled) (oh geez it would be so easy to change some of our behaviors, come ON), or quit complaining to me. I KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS. Also: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO AWE ME WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW MUCH GAS COSTS AT EVERY STATION IN TOWN.
3. The housing market. I’ve run out of ranting time, so I’ll just let that one fester.
On that positive note, I’m going to go have my Monday. Mondays are insane, but! I’m wearing a new outfit (thank you clearance racks, thank you for pants that fit properly), I’m looking forward to getting the dogs out of dog jail, and I am really pumped to watch some more Coach on DVD. Also: my husband looks especially cute today.
Kisses,

I KNOW those people, the kind who must tell me that gas is 3 cents cheaper at the station across town. As if I SEEM like the type of person who would carefully file that information away. BAH.

Here’s to a good week, Black Sheeped.

Uh, oh. I think I may be one of those weather people.
OK. I’ll stop now, after telling you our weather is just the same as yours.
RAGE ON.
