polly pocketYou didn’t think that just because I missed a couple week’s of the list that my life had turned into a magical fairytale, did you? Get real. I was taking a breather and counting to a billion.

  1. Spending money on expensive sheets only to wake up in a pile of nerd balls.
  2. Gerber daisies. Sorry.
  3. Indian givers. I’m fairly certain that when you give someone a gift, there is no return policy.
  4. Facebook timeline. Don’t like it can’t make me. Oh wait.
  5. Vet bills. I appreciate you exploiting my emotions while emptying my wallet.
  6. Men on Pinterest. Ladies, if your husband/boyfriend is pinning at his computer… he may very well want to be “pinning” all kinds of other things (wink, wink).
  7. Creepy married men. Sir, I can see your ring.
  8. People who have conversations at an excessively loud decibel. This goes double when said individuals are discussing last night’s episode of Gossip Girl, Real Housewives, etc. How do you know if I’ve watched yet?
  9. Name dropping. I just mopped the floor. Can you pick that up?
  10. Not being able to just marry my dog.

Thanks and goodnight.

bad tan lines

While I’ve sort of been living in a bubble for the past few weeks, watching only reruns of Sex and the City and drinking copious amounts of wine, that hasn’t stopped annoying things from popping up in my otherwise pleasant life.

  1. Having to put on a brave face when all you really want to do is hide under the covers.  For a year.
  2. Shaving.
  3. Forgetting why you stopped wearing a certain pair of shoes and then wearing them only to remember exactly why you stopped wearing them.
  4. Pork chops.
  5. Being completely and utterly blindsided.
  6. Realizing you are out of toilet paper when it’s just a little too late.
  7. Waking up in the middle of the night with the TV still on and hearing the Unsolved Mysteries theme song.
  8. The film on your teeth after eating Greek yogurt.  Feels like the next time you open your mouth it’s going to look like a sheet of Saran Wrap.
  9. Kanye West again showing at Paris Fashion Week.  If New York is good enough for Michael Kors, it should be (more than) good enough for you.
  10. Kony.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some SATC to get back to.

broken chains
Ever have one of those weeks where it seems like nothing is working?  It’s like everywhere you go, everything you do… something is broken.  It’s enough to make even the most well adjusted individual go a little bit cuckoo.  It seems you just can not catch a break… or maybe you’ve caught too many?

  1. Breaking the ice.
  2. Breaking a nail a mere fifteen minutes after a fresh manicure.
  3. Broken hooks in bathroom stalls leaving you with nowhere to put your purse and forcing you to hold onto your Balenciaga while you hover.
  4. Broken hearts.
  5. The train breaking down while you’re stuck underground and you’re sandwiched between a man eating a salami sandwich and a woman filing her nails.
  6. Broken stoplights causing complete and utter chaos ’cause no one has the good sense to take turns.
  7. Broken promises.
  8. Eyeliner breaking mid application sending shards of synthetic materials right into your retina… leading to tear stained cheeks and an appearance resembling that of a Cezanne watercolor
  9. Broken dreams.
  10. Being broke.

Well, if it ain’t broke…

banished words

Earlier this year, the fine folks of Lake Superior State University created a list of “banished” words (words that are overused and just need to stop being spoken… or spelled).  In case you missed it, here was this year’s list from LSSU:

  1. Amazing
  2. Baby bump
  3. Shared sacrifice
  4. Occupy
  5. Blowback
  6. Man cave
  7. The new normal
  8. Pet parent
  9. Win the future
  10. Trickeration
  11. Ginormous
  12. Thank you in advance

While I think they did a fine job summarizing some of the most trite words in our vocabulary, here are ten more words that I think may need to be added to the list.  The sheer utterance of these makes my blood boil.

  1. Amazeballs
  2. Sunday Funday
  3. Obsessed
  4. Rise and grind
  5. Get excited
  6. Just saying
  7. Don’t mind if I do
  8. Literally
  9. Curated
  10. That’s what I’m talking about

Are you guilty of any (or all) of these commonly used words?  Are there any that you think should be added?

I was not kidding about that pony.  I feel that in honor of my birthday, I should suspend the usual snark fueled list in order to honor some things that make me giggle with glee.  So, here are ten of many in no particular order.

  1. Benetint. I don’t know how else I can say it.
  2. Crispy rice spicy tuna.
  3. Have I ever told you about Smitty? 
  4. Love.  Surprisingly enough… I love love.  So hard.
  5. Prosecco.
  6. My beloved friends… though I often have to Photoshop us into the same place for us to all be together. 
  7. Shiny things and chandeliers.
  8. Classic television, ie; Golden Girls, Cheers, Who’s the Boss, Designing Women, Full House, The Nanny … (yes, I’m old).
  9. My pink HB cashmere robe.
  10. Any good reason to celebrate and deck myself out.

Happy birthday to me (and the rest of you Capriquarius kids).
