I hate everything and everyone lately, so I'm seriously thinking of becoming a hermit. I'll bring the dog (of course) and perhaps the hubs... But will definitely bring the laptop and air-card so I can still read your blog. :)Happy Holidays! There are too many to list.

But since it isn't about me....I hope you are feeling better every day. And if you lived closer I'd be doing your Christmas baking and I'm come hang out. Moving on.. I might be at my most cheerful while doing my once a year food shopping at a local gourmet food shop for Christmas Eve dinner. It gets really crowded there and it's not a large place to start. The lady in front of me who rammed her cart into another and then shook her head in disgust peeved me. I made a joke about it to the woman who got rammed, but c'mon Scrooge get with the program. I'm also not a fan of those who seek to make others miserable by actively fighting to remove stars, angels, nativity scenes and the like. Really? There aren't enough other needs in the world or in your community and that's what you're going to put your energies into? Mind boggling. Love ya T!

I guess that would be my grievance. That and ‘not enough hours in the day’ … that about covers it.

Happy everything!

Completely ruined by yearly viewing of A CHRISTMAS STORY, and I couldn't even drop the F bomb to complain about it!

With all the snow, my new windows have leaked and now the paint has peeled and the drywall is ruined. I will have to do the work to take this bastard to small claims court.Grrrrrrrr. I don't feel better but I'm thrilled to have found this blog. There are several books mentioned that I have not read. My complaint, contractors who do a poor job.
