Pet Peeves...

We all have Pet Peeves.  Some big, some small.  I'll admit that there are things that annoy the hell out of me.  But, the main reason for this post is that I think some people really bring them out of others...

Example:  Say I did or said something that really got under your skin and annoyed you.  But, maybe you didn't like me too much to begin with or you don't really know me like you do your best friend.  Yet, your best friend could do or say the same thing I did and it doesn't bother you when they do it.

What are your opinions on this?  Do you feel it's possible for a stranger or an enemy to annoy you when a close friend doesn't?  Even though they did or said the same thing?  Or is it more like... Friends and enemies both annoying you and you only target one person to get upset with?  Or do you talk to ALL the people about your pet peeve and ask them all to try to cool it?  Or... what?  How does it work with you?

Here are some of my Pet Peeves...

1 ~ Dog hair in my house (but I love my dogs and allow them into the house).
2 ~ People always asking me "What's wrong?" over and over when I say "Nothing" when it      really is nothing or because I just don't want to talk about it.
3 ~ Loud kids in a nice restaurant (I know, I'm so mean!).
4 ~ Long check-out lines at stores... Grrr!
5 ~ Company drinking my last cup of coffee and not saying anything so I can make another pot before I finish my cup, lol.
6 ~ Missing socks!  Almost every time I do laundry, I end up with a missing sock.
7 ~ People who can dish it but not take it... Seriously?  Don't joke around with me then!
8 ~ People who jump out from around a corner to scare me.  I might purposely accidently punch you in the face... Damn reflexes!
9 ~ Having a gazzilion pens in the house and not being able to find one that actually works when I need it, like, NOW.
10 ~ Going for a beer and realizing your company has drank your last one... (Next time, bring your own!)

Well, that was a nice little chat to umm... chat about, I guess, lol.  Guess I forgot what I was going to say to go along with that :)  It happens.

So tell me, what are some of your pet peeves?

Little bit of everything...

I must admit... My boyfriend is awesome!  Yesterday, he brought home a blended coffee from my favorite corner lot coffee hut... He ordered a 20 oz and the owner made too much (she always does that) so he got a 32 oz instead for the 20 oz price.  Then, he gave that big bad boy to me!  I was feeling like Hammy on Over the Hedge!!  My boyfriend hates coffee so for him to stop and get me one 'just because' is awfully sweet :)  I knew there was a reason why I love him so much!

On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, I went to my mother's house and helped her get the place ready for Christmas and company.  Lots of coffee and giggling later, we got most of it done (E-Bay stuff organized too).  I'll go help her out again next week and get it super done :)

Kris bought a Prime Rib for Christmas dinner for us and the family.  I'm so excited about cooking it up and pigging out.  The way he cooks it is amazing!  It's so tender and scrumpdiddlyumptios!  I'm drooling now as I type this!

I've decided that my broke ass is making gifts this year for Christmas so, I will try to post pictures of the things I make (the ones that turn out looking good).  I love making things but I'm no Martha Stewart!  I sure like to try though!

Anywho, I have a lot to get done today (laundry and cleaning) so I better get my butt in gear!  Have a great day all!  :)

Pink Tree

I decorated the house last Thursday for Christmas.  A little early for me but I felt that holiday spirit thing itching at my back and decided to 'itch' it.

Usually, Kris will flip when I decorate (even a week before the holidays) but this year, he walked into the house, looked everything over, shook his head, smiled and said, "Holy crap woman".  So on that note, I plugged in my fake pink tree!  I wish it was real and one of these years I WILL convince Kris to let me get one.  But until he does, Pink Tree it is, lol.

Today was a busy day for me.  I watched Desperate Housewives (last nights episode), cleaned the kitchen and living room, did laundry all day (and still working on it), shoveled snow again and re-arranged our bedroom so we can use the heater in there and to get our bed away from the window... It gets drafty.  

I actually had everything done (except laundry) by 12:34 pm.  I was quite happy with myself.  All it took was 2 pots of coffee, lol.

I hope you all are enjoying your weather (whatever it may be doing) and/or staying warm... Snow, sun, rain, wind, hot, cold... Mother Nature is a bit bipolar this year!

Good Deeds :)

I woke up this morning, made my coffee and let the dogs out to do their business and... WE HAD SNOW!  I love when the snow is pretty and white and sparkly and un-touched.  It's beautiful.  But then, the dogs went crazy running over every inch of it in our backyard and playing in it by sticking their noses in it and flipping it up and over their heads.  Then, they made it different colors... Oh well, I got to see the beauty of the snow before they went nuts, lol.

Kris and I decided to shovel our sidewalks and we ended up doing 3 of our neighbors sidewalks as well.  They are all older couples so it felt great for us to help them out.  That was our good deed for the year, lol!  Just kidding... We like helping people out with anything we can.  It's a great feeling.  :)

After shoveling, we took the dogs for a walk.  Our walk turned into a 1.97 mile walk.  What the hell were we thinking?!?  Snow on the ground and it's cold and wet outside and we're walking and walking and walking...  I was freezing by the time we got home and then I was roasting after being in the house for about 5 minutes... Once my body warmed up, I started to freeze again, lol.  (I decided a second pot of coffee was in order... *Yummy*)

That about sums up our day... We decided to call it a snow day and stay inside for the remainder of the day.  We learned how to play Gin Rummy, we ate dinner, we watched some College Football (Go DUCKS!!!) and now, we are so ready to crawl into our nice warm bed and snooze!  So, on that note, I say ta-ta and goodnight!  :)

What a Morning

My morning hasn't exactly gone so good.

First of all, I forgot to get my coffee ready last night before bed.  So, I had to do it this morning at 5 am (when I was still half asleep).  Apparently, I put too much water in my maker because when I went to get me a cup, my pot was plum full with coffee and there was coffee overflow all over my counter.

Secondly, it seems like every time I pick something up, I drop it... The remote control, my cell phone, a pen... Although, I haven't dropped my coffee cup!  *Knock on wood*  I must have butterfingers this morning or my hands are just too cold to grasp anything (my brain as well).

I sure hope the rest of my day goes better without anymore of my 'special moments'.  No matter how hard I try, I can't escape my spacey, klutzy self...  Anywho, I sure hope everyone else is having a better morning :)

20 Things

I was thinking I would do a ~20 things about me for my 20th post~ post :)

1.  I am terrified of spiders... Any kind, any size.  I'm a complete girly-girl when it comes to spiders... I run away screaming like a baby, lol.  The only good spider is a dead spider!


2.  I have broke 3 bones in my 26 years.  In order ~ My left collar bone as a toddler when my cousin fell on me (I still love you Lacie!).  My right collar bone while playing football (tripped over my own feet trying to impress a boy) at age 11 (I think).  Last, my left wrist by bouncing off another cousins trampoline at 13 or 14 years old (Yes, I still love you too, Amber!).


3.  I was home-schooled  (which may explain my grammar/english writing skills, lol).  However, I did graduate and I received my High School Diploma with the home-schooling :)

4.  I like to write (obviously!) about anything.  Poems, short stories, letters to friends and family...

5.  I have a stupid fear of driving that controls my freedom!  I get panic attacks behind the wheel.  Makes me feel like a royal dumbass!

6.  I'm a firm believer in "Eye for an Eye" when it comes to prison inmates but that is a whole different blog post.  I have a lot to say about that...

7.  I hate having nail polish on my fingers but feel naked when my toes are without nail polish.  Is that weird?

8.  I can pop my hips in and out of joint while standing.  It sure grosses people out to see that, lol.  My hips were dislocated when I was born (my mother had to double up the diapers to keep my hips in socket if that makes any sense)...

9.  I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years.  I hate the guy for how he was but I'm thankful to him for making me stronger and wiser.

10.  I'm addicted to coffee but I don't like Starbucks or Dutch Brothers.  I prefer my local Full Throttle Java Hut (located at both ends of town for your convenience)  :)  Plus, the girls there rock!

11.  I once got really drunk and did amateur night at a strip club.  I will NEVER drink that much EVER again, lol.  I was also offered a job by the club manager... I drunkenly, yet politely, declined, lol.

12.  I'm extremely shy in person but will tell my life story online (go figure).

13.  I went through a depressed stage in life and tried to end it.  I'm so over that now though and I love, love, love my life the way it is.  Yeah, things could be better but I'll take it for what it is :)  I have family, friends and a boyfriend who all love me and accept me for who I am and I love them all for that and their support :)

14.  I absolutely HATE cooking but I do it anyways for my boyfriend because he loves when I cook for him (probably because he's taught me how to cook... My mother tried but I never listened because SHE always cooked) and his appreciation makes me feel good.

15.  I've never met my real father but here recently, he contacted me through FaceBook.  I'm glad he did and I want to know everything about him and meet him someday.  I have so many questions for him... I feel... Well, I don't know how I feel yet.  Only time will tell...

16.  I don't plan on ever getting married.  I would wear an engagement ring but never get married, lol.  I would stay engaged forever.  I don't believe in having a piece of paper to prove how much I love someone.  Besides, it's much cheaper to get rid of a boyfriend then it is to get rid of a husband, lol.  No divorce :)  Just take your shit and go!

17.  I don't plan on ever having kids either.  Don't get me wrong, I love kids I just don't want any of my own.  Yeah, yeah... They're cute and squishy and do adorable things but... I'll pass.  But, if I ever did end up pregnant, I would love my baby more then anything else in life :)

18.  I sang karaoke once with a friend at a bar that was full of people.  That was another drunk moment of mine.  It was horrible, lol.  We sang, or butchered would be correct, 'Rockstar' by Nickelback :)

19.  I love nuts by themselves... Salted, honey roasted, whatever but I hate foods that have nuts cooked in it or topped with nuts.  Candy bars with nuts in them?  I don't like them... Yuck!

20.  I hate getting flowers as a gift (especially from a boyfriend).  It may be a nice gesture and all but get me something that is going to last... Not something that is going to die soon...

Triple Topic?

First, it rained... Then, it snowed... Now, it's just fricken cold!  Come out sun... I miss you.

Coffee
I've been drinking coffee all day trying to warm up.  My coffee is NOT doing it's job.  I am STILL frozen.  But I don't really mind all that much 'cause I'm a coffeeholic.  :)  Well, I do mind a little I guess... I hate being cold!  I just can't make up my mind... So cold, confused and complicated lol.

Winter
I think we are going to have a long, cold and wet winter.  I am overwhelmed with joy. *eye roll* Maybe I should take up a winter sport.  I think I can handle snowboarding down the bunny slope.  I've never tried skiing or snowboarding.  I've heard it's a blast and it takes technique to master, lol.  I'm a huge klutz and would probably brake a leg... Even on the bunny slope.

Summer
I did have a great summer though!  It was WAY too short but still loads of fun.  My boyfriend and I went to Montana for two weeks to his parents cabin on the lake.  That was a blast!  My boyfriend is from Montana and goes back to "the lake" every summer for the 4th of July.  I went with him this year and I want to go back next year.  It was so peaceful yet exciting at the same time.  He caught a 10lb. walleye and it's going to go on our wall.  Just waiting for the taxidermy guy to finish it (sometime within the next month or so).  I caught a big walleye for me... Maybe 2-3lbs, lol.  But, it was my first walleye ever caught! I was so excited :)  Montana was the highlight of our summer... Next year, I will catch a bigger walleye then his wall hanger!  :)

Coffee and Cleaning...

Monday - Thursday is the same routine for me.  I get up at 5 am.  and press start on my coffee pot (I always get my coffee pot ready to go the night before).  I then let the dogs outside to do their business while I have a cancer stick (bad, I know).  Afterwards, the dogs and I go back inside and I get me a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee and add a small spoon-full of sugar and 2 ice cubes (don't want to burn my tongue).  After my first sip of coffee, I then get my mans lunch ready (he would be completely lost without me).  On cold mornings, I will start his truck (he loves me more for that, lol).  He then leaves for work around 5:45 am. and I do my usual FaceBook apps.  Mafia Wars, FarmVille and FrontierVille.  Damn things!  I should just get rid of them.  I hate the fact that I'm worried about my crops going to waste!  Pathetic I tell ya... After FB, I start my normal day of cleaning :)  

I love the fact that I keep our house clean.  It's a great feeling to see my efforts shine :)  Years ago, I worked as a Maid and I HATED to come home and do chores for mom.  Who wanted to clean all day at work and then clean more at home?  I know I sure didn't!  But now that I'm not a maid and I have a house of my own (well, with my boyfriend) I love my house to be spotless.  So much that I always double mop my hardwood floors, lol... Once with the Swiffer wet jet mop and once with my Bona hardwood mop.  Since double mopping, I've noticed that a Swiffer is not all that great.  It seems to just smear the dirt around, lol.  If I don't get a better first mop then I'll start doing a triple mop!  

Remember as a kid how you would always get excited to get the new coolest toy?  Well, now that I'm grown up, I get excited about new cleaning products, lol.  Now, that right there  is sad :)  

A few months ago, we had a knock on the door and it was a Kirby salesman.  He asked if he could vacuum our floors to show us a demonstration.  We have hardwood floors so we told him he could vacuum our couches.  So, he did.  I'm super impressed with the Kirby (but not the price) and I would like one of them... or a Rainbow.  They both do wonders.  We got the salesman to clean our couches, the carpet in our room and he even vacuumed our bed.  It was nice to have a man clean like that for a change, lol.  I told my boyfriend to take notes :)  He didn't.

Back to the coffee topic.  I love, love, love coffee!  Some days, I'll drink two whole pots... Some would say I'm a coffee hog.  It doesn't really give me energy, it just keeps my eyes open, lol.  I like those coffee huts on corners in town or in parking lots.  They are my favorite places to get coffee.  I'm not a big fan of Dutch Brothers or Starbucks.  My all-time favorite coffee hut is the Full Throttle Java.  The girls there are awesome and very friendly.  They make the best blended full throttle (I always get that one and no it's not a full throttle energy drink blended up).  It's the best coffee drink so far for me.  It comes with 5 shots of espresso in a 24 oz. but I always get an extra shot just for good measure, lol.     

Well all... I think I've blogged enough for now.  I'm not getting my house spotless by sitting on my tush :)  Have a great day!

My Mother

Good morning all!

So, today is my mother's birthday!  Yay!  Time to celebrate her on her day.  Not just for her birthday either but for many reasons.  She is the best mother EVER.  I know a lot of you would argue me on that but we all have our opinions, lol.  She's been through so much in her life... Good and bad.  But, she's always held her head high and got through everything while helping my brother and I in any way she can.  She truly is the best mom I could ask for :)  Plus, she's put up with me in my wilder days and she STILL loves me after all I've put her through.  I am truly sorry for all I've put her through and I hope she gets nothing but happiness in life because she deserves it all!  I love her very much and would be totally lost without her.  Happy Birthday Mom!!  Love ya!

I woke up this morning around 7:30 am and went to the kitchen to make my pot of coffee.  Then, I stepped outside and had a smoke (bad habit, I know).  When I came in, my coffee was done... Or should I say, my hot water was done!  I forgot to add COFFEE to my COFFEE pot!  So, I had to remake my pot of coffee.  Wow, talk about a moment.  That's the first time I've ever done that, lol.

After my little coffee mishap, I made my guy waffles and guess what?  They were perfect! I was proud of myself, lol.

Alright, gotta go and get things done before going over to my mother's house today.  Have a great day everyone :)
