Petty gripes. Put em here, folks!

[Deleted]

For years, YEARS I have wanted to go to the big fair around here when it comes around. Something always comes up (usually a family event of H's) comes up or he procrastinates about it and we don't go. Well, this weekend I am going to NY with my mom and sister and niece and h was all like 'Suzy and her H (work friend of H's) are going to the topsfield fair this weekend and asked us to go. I'm going to bring Rocco!' I'm like ' :-( :@ ^o) ' and he can't figure out why I'm peeved.

Ugh. I hate when I get peeved over petty shit, but for real? He is freakin clueless sometimes. I will stop being 8 in about another hour or so.

My DH bought a WiFi hot spot instead of calling the company again. A hot spot does not fix our issues- they just need to fix their shit.

So we would permanently have shitty tv. I told him this before. We did not agree this was the better fix.

mekaikoo, I hope you're feeling better for the PTC's :: hugs ::

My dog scratched my ear and I think she was trying to kill me. It bled a little but rubbing alcohol ftw.

I just got a shitload of work assigned. Which equals good money -- but a shitload of work to do before the end of the month. I'm freaking out more than a little.

And a funny from DD2, who is learning letters and sounds: "Pirate starts with ARRRRR!"

I just got a new (used) car and wish it was a "cool" model, but also feel that I am getting to the point that I shouldn't have a "cool" car. My last car was a POS so I should just be greatful at the one I just got.

My husband is almost never home right now. He's either at work or at rehearsal for his play next at the end of the month. I miss my husband and getting to spend time with him. I can't wait for him to be done.

It bugs me when people bring things that are not cookies to a cookie exchange. I don't care if your family loves an M&M topped rolo mushed onto a pretzel, it's not a cookie!

DH had surgery 6 weeks ago to repair his Achilles and has been non weight bearing ever since. I am so over it.

That's how I'd been with the Big E and I finally dragged my H last weekend. He had a blast because unlike the Topsfield Fair, you can buy booze at the Big E.

Just go to Topsfield during the week. It's much quieter weeknights/evenings and you don't have to deal with as many people. I drove by tonight on my way to pottery and there were people, but not to many and most importantly virtually no traffic.

My cousin talks so much trash about my favorite sports teams but when I do the same to him, he gets all whiny and acts like a bitch, so I told him.

My sister is TTC. I just *knowwwwww* she's going to get pregnant before me. And of course I'll be happy for her, but I'll also feel like, "WHY NOT ME?!"

Also, I'm a touch drunk.

[horseoutside]

I ate only fried food for dinner this evening and I feel so gross now. Mozzarella sticks are so nasty and delicious all at the same time. *burp*

H and I are TTC and I could technically test now but we're on vacation, and going out for nice meals the next two nights, so I don't want to test yet because if it's positive I won't be able to have a glass of wine with my meal. This may actually be a flameful...? I'm justifying it with the fact that my period isn't due til Thursday.

It drives me bonkers when people can't/won't figure out how not to do a reply all to a mass text. A friend just had a baby, mass texted everyone, and I've already gotten 8 texts from random numbers thinking they're just responding to her.

Adding on to that I hate it when people bring freaking slice & bake cookies to a cookie exchange!

I tried to make pumpkin bread. There was so much batter I had enough for a large loaf and a dozen muffins. But, the loaf was still liquid in the middle by the time the outside was starting to burn. :@ I cannot for the life of me make bread in a loaf without something going wrong.

Anyone want a muffin?

Pretty much have the same issues- always ends up brig doughy/raw in the middle .

Anlo & keys, I wonder if your ovens are running too hot.

I also hate when you click on something pinned in pinterest and it takes you to a picture instead of a recipe or a whole blog instead of a specific blog post.

[anlo]

How low should it be? It was at 350 for over an hour. Would 300 work?

[speckledfrog]

I meant that maybe your oven is running too hot. Like you set it for 350 but it's actually heating it to 375. Sometimes ovens get wonky. Do you find that other stuff finishes sooner than the recipe states? You might want to get an oven thermometer and see. That way you'll know to set your oven X degrees lower when you bake.

ETA: I thought you were talking about my comment. After seeing tator's quiches, I'm not sure I'd take baking advice from her. She likes to fly by the seat of her pants in the kitchen.

My friend's husband called me today to see if I'd watch their kid so he can take his wife (with whom I'm pretty close) out to dinner in the middle of the week for her birthday. I said yes, because I know she wants to go out alone w/ her husband, but he refuses to get a babysitter, for any reason. None of them seem "legitimate" to him. Not even the one certified in CPR working at a pediatric research facility with a graduate degree in psych (who we use, and love). So I'm their sitter.

It is getting old. The kid is 2.5, and is not going to be permanently traumatized by having a sitter hang out with him for 3 hours twice a month so they can go see a movie or go out to dinner.

I wanted to make out with H when I got home from school tonight. He said he was tired and wanted to go to sleep. I told him I was going to look at porn on the computer instead. And by porn I meant pinterest.

I sent my friend/ex co-worker a job post doing what I do now for another company. She has an interview this week and the job location is in the same area of the city I've been trying to find a job in. This is made even more petty because I don't even want to stay in my current field.

Is it more petty, pettier.. Neither sounds right.
