1. When I'm at the store and I pay for my stuff, I hate how the checker hands me my change and receipt and then immediately starts scanning the items of the person in line behind me. Now, I appreciate that they need to be speedy. But if I'm grocery shopping, I would not have a problem with the checker allowing the person in front of me to put their change and receipt in their wallet instead of having to quickly toss everything in their purse so they can get out of the way. My purse looks like it was left open at a New Year's Eve party right now because I have a million receipts just tossed in there.
2. (Sidenote: I was at the grocery store last night and a lady asked her husband to watch her purse while she took their son to the bathroom. He replied, "Watch it do what? Like tricks or something?" HA! That was funny.)
3. So once upon a time there was an institute of higher education called the Utah College of Massage Therapy. I have nothing against this school (or massage therapy, as a matter of fact.) But what I DO have a problem with is the commercials they show with these creepy guys who talk about how much they love to give massages. One guy says, "I was giving massages even before school to friends and family..." I have two words for you, creepy guy: "Restraining. Order."
4. Once upon a time I vowed to keep my house clean all the time. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to that day and laugh at myself. I don't like having a dirty house, I just don't like having to do anything about that.
5. Am I the only one who is deeply annoyed at Jewish musicians who make Christmas albums? So often, I can't help myself from yelling "SELLOUT!" in an accusatory voice before changing the station.
6. I am REALLY tired of getting spammy emails from my friends and family. I'm trying not to hold it against you guys, but it's making me crazy.
7. I hate seeing my friends/family go through hard times. We are by no means independently wealthy, but I feel so blessed and I'm considering knocking up a liquor store to earn some cash to give to those I love who could really use it. These are such hard times and I remember what it was like to not have money for food, to come home from school and not know if we'd have heat and/or power and I remember our Christmases depending on the kindness of strangers. I don't want those I love to go through this. Who wants to drive the get-away car?
8. I hate having to walk ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STREET to pick Jack up from school when it's cold. Yes, my life is soooo hard and yes, I need a hug.
9. I hate that I can't stop watching stupid judge shows on Fox. The people that go on these shows just amaze me with their stupidity. Is it possible they DON'T know how stupid they are and actually think that taking their personal lives on national TV is a good idea? Sigh.
10. Wrapping Christmas presents. For SURE one of my least favorite things. Thanks, Heather, for wrapping mine for me!
Bonus: I hate having gigantic zits on my face that just smoulder underground until all of sudden one day they pop up and explode leaving me with a HUGE wound on my face that I'm pretty sure looks like some kind of hideous boil. I just know when I was at Costco getting my Christmas cards today the checker-guy was more fascinated by the giant growth on my face than anything else. Weirdo.
that's all for now, kids. I'm sure I'll have much more to complain about later.

I'm sure you will. I think Jewish guys who sing Christmas songs are sell-outs too, but man--Barry Manilow sure makes a jolly holiday album!
Peggy,darling....I'm not sure, but I think you meant to say "knock over." I could be wrong though. Ok then.
Very good.
