On my way to work this morning I reminded myself that it's Tuesday, therefore don't forget to do Random Tuesday Thoughts! And here I am, remembering! This is a milestone for me, which is kind of sad. I'm not quite 30 but I have the memory capacity of an 80-year-old. Gee, wonder who I get that from? *coughMomcough* She's one of those moms that has to run through the whole list of names available before she gets to yours. "Deb-Bob-Tim-Alice-oh goodness, that's the DOG..."
Last Friday my bro-in-law texted me asking what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I wanted a gift card to Home Depot. He was like, really? That's it? I'm going to (fancy outdoor shopping mall with some kick-ass stores), and I replied that I'm old, ponies and barbies just don't cut it anymore. I find it kind of sad that I couldn't think of any clothing or accessories or fun items to ask for... all I could think of was sweet, I can load up on annuals and the paint I want for the kitchen! *sigh*
My darling husband is wearing a tan hoodie today. I pulled up beside him at the intersection where we go our separate ways in the morning, and he had his hood up, which made him look like a Jawa. I called him to tell him, and mentioned it could be more Sand Person-esque, and of course he immediately went into the huuuuuuuuuunnh huhuhurrrnnn noises. And since he's closer to 8 years old than his actual 30, this will be going on all day now.
It's amazing to me how a simple project that should really only take a couple of hours, maybe half a day max, can be drug out into a week-long fiasco (sometimes longer even) simply due stupid people with no common sense. This is why I wish I could work for myself, or at least do my job from home so I can more easily ignore the idiocy that surrounds me.
I have fifty boxes of antihistamines at home, but none in my little pharmacy box at work. And I'm phlegmy as hell today. Sorry for the hacking & snorting, co-workers. But then, everyone else sounds the same as me, so... not sorry.
Tonight is buy-one-get-one-order-free wing night at our local chain bar & wing joint. Yum, honey barbecue and yellow fizzy beer!
Previews for this summer's movie season have me all jo-jo'd up! This and this and this and this... oh and don't forget this for Merlin's sake!
I just thought of something I could have asked for, for my birthday... a sleeping bag. Whoo hoo! What?
Gotta carry those antihistamines with ya. I'm feeling your pain.
ReplyDeleteYou know you're getting old when you ask for a Home Depot card for your birthday.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I went to Home Depot after our anniversary dinner. Hmmmm....
I'm like that already, and I only have ONE kid.
ReplyDeleteI have projects like that at work, too. Those are the weeks I go home early...
