The List Volume LXXII

ichat puppiesThey say you’ve gotta take the good with the bad and I’d say that’s a pretty good rule of thumb.  After all, not everyone’s life can be candy coated kisses and sparkly sprinkles all the time… nor should it be a constant shit storm.  That’s where the intricate balancing act of life comes into play.  It’s not always easy, trust me, I know.  I’ve been a little negative lately.  Weird.  No, but seriously, I’ve been a real Sally Sad Sack and while I won’t completely deprive you of my weekly rant, I do fully intend on counterbalancing it with equal parts sunshine and kitty cats.

  1. The “gentleman” who sat next to me on my flight wearing a tank top (mank top?).  Fine, I get it.  I see I’m not gonna win the mank top battle, but please, for heaven’s sake, save it for the beach or the gym… or put on a cardigan??
  2. Coffee grounds at the bottom of your cup.  A perfectly good way to ruin a perfectly good cup o’ joe.
  3. Tanning beds… can I offer you a smoke as well? patricia krentcil
  4. Waking up with unidentified bruises… leaving me looking like I mighta had a rough night on the main stage.
  5. Living out of a suitcase.

  1. Living out of a suitcase.
  2. Having the best friends a girl could ask for.  Good enough to miss ’em when we’re apart and good enough that they still love me through my shit storms in hopes of the next rainbow.
  3. I’m late to the party, but this never gets old.
  4. A warm and freshly washed towel awaiting me after a shower.
  5. A bed full of dogs.

Seeing as it was easier to write the “good” than it was the “bad,” I think I’m well on the way to recovery… whatever that means.

The List Volume LXIX

By |April 13th, 2012|The List|

broken record

Oh, why yes, today is Friday the 13th.  What a perfect day for things to suck!  I can barely even see straight so just writing this is going to be a feat in and of itself.  If there are type-o’s or I can’t quite form a cohesive sentence, deal with it.  I am.

  1. Having to pretend I care.  (pssst- I don’t).
  2. Men in tank tops.  Seriously, just stop. ed hardy man tank top
  3. The morning after.
  4. Having to break the news that your +1 has gone to +none.
  5. Sitting down at a desk to write this list and seeing this bitch staring back at me: sports illustrated irina shayk
  6. When your chapstick has melted unbeknownst to you and then you open it and start to apply it only to give yourself an at home wax.
  7. Picking up a drink and thinking it’s going to be one thing, say water, and it turning out to be something else, say vodka.
  8. Mushrooms.
  9. Applying so much eye cream that you look at yourself in the mirror midday and realize that your mascara is now on your cheeks.  Cool.
  10. Your face.
