Juice, I wish you a very successful interview!
Oh, and, I can't even decide the worst part of my Now & Later lady peeve.
Peeves of Yore: A New Juice(box) Soon?
Happy Friday, Friends! The weather where I live is finally deciding to somewhat align itself with the month of May. Last year, we were already bitchin' and moaning about 80 degree weather in March. Well, I guess Mother Earth heard us, and decided to teach us a lesson. We've learned! We've learne...

New Addiction
Just in the past week I have traded in my caffeine delivery system: coffee for Diet Coke. Diet Coke Pros: Fewer calories since I don't drink black coffee No coffee breath Doesn't lose its ideal drinking temperature as quickly Fizziness Diet Coke Cons: Artificial sweeteners that can cause can...

If I had $5,000...
...I would take care of the big old trees on my property. But I don't have an extra $5,000 in my pocket, and even if I did, I'd probably go on a fab vacation instead, so either way the big... Continue reading

The price of fruit is ridiculous.
Dry and Mealy
I'm so glad I spent $1 PER ORANGE for oranges that are dry, mealy, and inedible.
Where's the meth house?
In spring cleaning my yard, I found several little empty drug bags that had probably swirled around my shrubs during winter winds. I don't think deals were going down in front of my house. I hope not. Some of the... Continue reading

In the heat of the moment, part 2
OMG you guys. So, it's like this. A person asked me for something. In response, I asked this person for one specific piece of information in order to fulfill the request and she has given me everything but. Four times... Continue reading

Welcome back, Amy! Glad for your husband's progress (no doubt better because of you.)
Amy Has Returned
Back after months of Primary Caregiver Duty, and still quite peeved at the reprobate who tried to kill my husband with a car.
In the heat of the moment
When I ask you a simple question, don't refer me to a vague, extensive website with pdf's to download and some shit like that. Just answer the fucking question. Continue reading

No Kisses
When you share cupboards of communal coffee cups, it's common courtesy to scrub the lipstick smears off of the cups, is it not? Continue reading

J-Hud made me do it.
Does calling Jennifer Hudson "J-Hud" peeve you out? Me too. But I did it anyway. In a fit of New Year's resolution cliche, I joined Weight Watchers. I went out to dinner and annoyed my husband and myself by entering... Continue reading

Campus Fashion Report
The college kids are finally back at school which means I can observe and peeve about campus fashions again. Reindeer sweater. Girl, the twelve days of Christmas are over. Tight shorts with flip-flops. It's January in eastern Pennsylvania, it's not... Continue reading

You can't win with me.
Just as it's rude to be 20 minutes late to a work meeting, it is also rude to be 20 minutes early. Maybe I'm just not ready for you yet. Maybe I'm indisposed (peeing.) Continue reading

Was the wink supposed to soften the blow of the prickly insult?
I hate that shit.
Wink Wink
Actual line from an email I received this morning: "Any advice or thoughts welcome, even though I know you get a little prickly talking about money. ;)" Actual line from my response: "You simultaneously asked me for advice and insulted me." Actual response to my response: "I didn't mean to insu...
Funny! I just read somewhere about the etiquette of eating sushi. Like, you're not supposed to eat the pickled ginger on top of a piece of sushi, you're supposed to eat it separately. You're not supposed to flavor the soy sauce with a dollop of wasabi. And they too said you're definitely not supposed to try to make fire with your disposable chopsticks. All these years I've been doing it wrong.
The Gringo's Guide to Disposable Eating Utensils (Chinatown Edition)
Some of my friends always take this approach when eating in a Chinese* restaurant: Here's what I prefer to do: This has the distinct disadvantage of being infinitely more complicated. This drawback is made up by the advantages of being faster and not looking like a prat. When we are w...
Substitute something else like "shoes" for "God" and you still have an annoying situation of three temps going on and on about the glory of shoes.
Drowning in Godliness
The three temps who are working in my office have just spent the last hour and a half going on and on about the glory of God and everything that is great about God. I don't want to complain about them to their boss because I like them and their boss is my passive-aggressive coworker. We are crowd...
My ears are ringing.
Why, yes, the office is the perfect place to test out all of the ringtones available on your new phone! Continue reading

Nice boobs.
But the laptop is so warm and cozy!
My last peeve took forever and a half to write because my cat, who is in severe 'Mommy mode' this morning, refused to remove herself from my lap. There's only room on this lap for either the laptop or you, Dorothy!
