First world problems- add yours

I got my iPhone 6 today and it's just so much bigger than what I had before (4s) that I'm having a hard time with my normal text flow. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it but I'm super annoyed right now.

I just used birthday money to buy a new TB tote as a work bag. My sister just informed me that it is strictly a winter bag (grey wool). I'm now debating whether I should return it and keep looking or keep it and plan on finding something else to use next spring.

You'll get used to it and then you'll wonder how you ever did anything on your old phone lol

I really wanted to wear my new plaid tunic today, but the temp is chillier than I thought. So I had to wear a sweater over it and the arms are weird and bumpy now.

We have so many children's books that it's hard to store and organize them.

I'm annoyed that my cleaning lady didn't wipe down my appliances like she normally does. I don't even buy stainless cleaner anymore because she always does them!

[1confused1]

I got new cable equipment and lost everything on my dvr :-(

Our parents are bugging us for Christmas lists and neither of us can think of anything we need or want and "we don't need anything" is not an accepted answer.

Ugh this is us too. My dads been bugging us since Labor Day.
Damn my sister for getting him riled up about it in August!

We are oder ing Chinese I can't decide. I want everything. Cheat meal, here I come!!!

MIL doesn't want to exchange gifts at Christmas this year, and wants to go to a free skate at the community rink. Fine, but H's other two brothers will still buy gifts and it would only be us not buying and looking out of place. It isn't a money issue for them, so I don't know why she wants to avoid Christmas gifts so much, especially with grandchildren involved, and not celebrating birthdays during the year either.

Oh geez, that's even worse. My inlaws are going on vacation soon and like to do a lot of their shopping there because there are better options.

My parents do most of their shopping at Walmart and maybe Target, so their list is hard because I try to think of thinks they can get there or they'll just buy random stuff.

My husband's job just moved into a brand new office building, and brought home two 2 47 inch flat screen TVs they were going to throw away. We don't have rooms for all the TVs we have.

I'm incredibly grossed out by the ads for Man vs. Wild on BBC America, and it's detracting from my Star Trek TNG watching.

[nsl]

I'm overwhelmed by all of the Disney discount options we need to sort through as a military family buying a vacation package.

I don't know when they added blue raspberry to Sour Patch Kids, but I'm pretty fucking bitter about it.

[tripleshot]

I can't decide between 2 North Face down winter coats. I ordered one online tonight and hope I don't have to mail it back.

[slcjess]

I can't decide what to get for dinner. I don't want pizza but I also don't want to leave the house. Life's hard.

[redheadk]

DD's bffs birthday party was tonight. I spent the whole time drinking wine with my friends while DD ran around with the other kids and I forgot to eat dinner so I just ordered a pizza. OOPS. I did feed my kid, though!

I feel like I have to relearn everything because I am a PC person.

Just wait until you no longer remember how to use a PC and feel like an old person trying to use a computer. Not that I speak from personal experience or anything

We we're supposed to go to a winery today but our babysitter fell through, so we have to wait until tomorrow.

My new bathtub is too big. I had a big garden tub at my old house & it was perfect. The new one is way too long. I'm 5'9" with long legs and my feet don't come anywhere near to touching the end of the tub. I never understood how people could drown in a tub. Now I get it. It's also feels like a huge waste of water.

And a first world confession: I now want to re-do the entire master bathroom simply because the tub is too big.

My "kindle first" book is dragging. All I want is a brilliant, nuanced, fact- based sci fi or detective story. Is that too hard to write?

Have you read Michael Connelly's Detective Bosch series? Really good! I also like the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny.

All my problems are fwp, so nothing to add!

I'm hosting a baby shower for 20 today. I love hosting but now I have to get out of bed and do it.

I want to watch both the season finale of Fear the Walking Dead and the premiere of Homeland tonight. They come on at the same time. We have DVR, the issue is keeping myself awake past 10 pm.

I want this so badly. I don't even need a regular one...just a once every now and then one for the deep cleaning stuff (ex: baseboards) I never want to take hours out of my Saturday to do.

My 8yo decided she hates swimming lessons and is just waddling around picking her nose instead of swimming. Then she looks at me to make sure I know she gives no fucks.
Also it is hot as hell in here.
