Hey, a shout out to my 2 new followers. (I don't know who you are yet, since I haven't looked.) Sorry I've been slacking on the blog...spring is a busy-ass time of year, don'tcha know. On with the list...
1. Having the window open at night when it's windy outside. I have the weirdest dreams and I feel like I can't breathe properly. Also, the tree outside the bedroom window rustles all night and it bugs the shit out of me.
2. Movies/TV shows that have someone see someone else (usually something scary) in the mirror behind them. Ack!!!
3. Extreme body modification. Don't get me wrong...I have some tats and some piercings...and if I worked in a different field, I'd probably have more, but the full-face tattoos or the dinner-plate sized ear stretching seems crazy to me. I also think to myself, "What do you do for money???"
4. Hairy spiders. Little spiders don't bother me. Big spiders don't bother me. But spiders...WITH HAIR? *shudder*
5. Seeing horrible injuries during a sports game. With my awesome history of ankle injuries, watching the slow-mo replay of some dude twisting his ankle makes me want to vomit.
6. Reality shows. Don't get we wrong. I watch Jersey Shore. I even enjoy it--okay, I enjoy watching them make fools out of themselves, but they make more money in a red-carpet appearance than I will 10 years of working, so I suppose I'm the fool. However, watching the TeenMomHordersCelebrityRehab debacle just makes me sad. Are these peoples' live any better after being in the "spotlight"? Probably not.
7. Little kids in beauty pageants. Do I really need to explain?
8. Sushi (or, Sashimi, rather...) I know that I *should* like it...all the cool kids do, after all, but I just can't get over the fact that I'm eating raw fish. Blech.
9. The smell of raw chicken. Ugh. I'm also not a fan of cutting it when it's thawed...too slippery.
10. Close talkers. It's like, "Yo, find your space!"
So, if you don't want to see me get all freaked out, avoid the above.

10 Things: I've Learned Lately
1. I would much rather plow through a Big Mac that eat all the ice cream, candy, or other sweet things that is world has to offer. I'm a savory/fat addict!
2. "Pincesses" eat "nunules" for "dinure" in their "hastle". (Or, "Princesses eat noodles for dinner in their castle," in Bay-speak.)
3. If you cut off a huge hunk of your thumb, it will grow back.
4. RelishRelish.com is the absolute bomb! (It's a great menu-planning site that does your grocery list and everything!!)
5. Boo is smart...but he's obstinate when it comes to homework. He always says he doesn't know the answer but I know he does. Oy, he's going to give me an ulcer!
6. Babe should be on talk radio...he's so frelling funny!
7. Steel-cut oatmeal is really, really good!
8. I *do* know how to serve a volleyball over the coed net...it jut took me a while to figure it out!
9. Three-card poker is one card game I can follow.
10. I have a truly amazing group of friends. (Okay, I've always known this, but I've recently been reminded.) <3

10 Things: That Bug the Crap Out of Me
Ah, the ubiquitous "Top Ten List'...These are in no particular order. Yes, I'm crabby.
1. Stopping at McDonald's *just* for a fountain Diet Coke, driving away, and finding that they forgot the straw. (I now hoard straws in my glove box, just for that occasion. Thanks to Sarah Z. for the suggestion!)
2. People that give me the stink-eye when one of my kids is being a douche in a public place. Chances are, if I'm ignoring it, it's because I've tried everything else--other than beating the child. I'm going to let it go, so should you.
3. Parents of students that always think the teachers/administrators/school system is "out to get" their kid and question everything. Dear Parents, sometimes, you have a jackass of a kid. That's not to say that there are teachers that suck, because there are, but most of the time, the student is being a turd, and the teachers are doing what they need to do to ensure that the rest of the students (you know, the ones *not* being a dumbass) are receiving an education.
4. Migraines.
5. Holiday (or really, and kind of) shopping. I agonize over what to get the people that I care about and it stresses me out. Add that to the eleventy-bajillion, stressed out people, lack of parking, and spending money, it's a frelling nightmare.
6. Wind. I mean, what the hell is it good for? Oh, I know, there's all sorts of sciency reasons we need wind, but really, all it does is mess up my hair, make the temperature colder, and blows shit into my yard.
7. Speaking of shit...People who let their dog shit in my yard and then leave it. If *you* don't want to pick it up, what makes you think *I* do?
8. "Reality" TV, or really, the idiots that get paid a ton of money because they're "reality" stars. (Jersey Shore cast, I'm looking at you!) Did you know that Snooki gets something like $200,000 to just SHOW UP at a red carpet event. Um, it would take me 4 years to make that much money. The Situation is supposed to earn 5 million bucks this year...for what? Showing off his abs? Ugh. Of course, I watch the damn show...
9. Drivers who don't follow the "this line, that line" rule. As if cutting me off and not letting me go in front of you will get you to your destination *that* much faster. Um, did you happen to see the 500 cars in front of you? Didn't think so.
10. Cats. Really, it's not their fault, I'm just deathly allergic and can't be in a house with one for more than an hour or two before my respiratory system is compromised.
So, there you have it. Things that bother me, today, at least.
