- I really hate it when my husband decides to “nap” during the evening hours of 8-11. It makes me think he doesn’t want to spend time with me. I mean he’s working from home now which means he can keep basically any hours he wants. So he should save nap time for the hours when I’m not home. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for.
- I hate that Sizzle burned me some really awesome cd’s that my ipod refuses to acknowledge. Have you ever had this happen to you before? I’m used to itunes not recognizing names and tracks, but I’ve never experienced not being able to get them on the ipod before. I named all the tracks, I even created playlists for them. Yet every time I sync it won’t grab them. I suppose I should be grateful to just have them on cd, but we are living in the digital age and I want them on my freaking ipod dammit!
- I hate Jesse from Big Brother. I hate his stupid muscles and his stupid poses and his stupid face. What is so special about him? Of all the ex contestants that could have come back on the show, I can’t think of anyone I would like less than Jesse. It took me awhile this season to really warm up to any of the contestants. I find myself liking Jeff and Jordan though. That’s about it. Everyone else is still pretty lame. Least favorite season ever. They should do a Big Brother celebrity version. Only use real celebrities, not the washed up kind you find on all of the other reality shows. And don’t tell me that real celebrities have better things to do with their time. Big Brother is good shit!
- I hate that I ran out of Percocet because I chose to take them for fun instead of save them for actual pain. Unless you count the pain in my soul. Where’s Nancy W. Kappes and her Judy Garland Trail Mix when I need them?
- I hate that I came home today to two different kinds of phone books on my front porch. Who uses phone books anymore? They just pile up and piss me off. Funny thing is, the lady driving around dropping off the Yellow Pages one was still on my street so I made sure she saw me pick them both up and walk them over to our garbage cans and toss them in. Look at me! Throwing your book away! I didn’t even recycle it! Next I’m going to eat some dolphin unfriendly tuna! And then maybe start a forest fire!
- I hate that I haven’t had a period in four months. I probably wouldn’t hate it so much if I were actually pregnant, but I’m not. And I hate that there’s practically a three month waiting list to get into the doctor. And knowing my body I’ll probably get my period the same damn day as the appointment. Because they just love it when you do that to them!
- I hate that I’ve typed this entire post very loudly, complete with belching and coughing and general noisiness and my husband is still asleep less than 10 feet away from me. HOW CAN YOU SLEEP THROUGH ALL OF THIS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE TYPING?!?!


This is going to be a long comment, I can feel it.
1) My husband does that too. He stays up til 4 am, and sleeps til like, noon, whereas I’m up from 5:30 or 6 and in bed by 10. It’s annoying as hell, I agree.
2) I haven’t been able to watch US big brother since Season 8 (with Dick and all those dudes. And I was sporadical in my watching before that. I watched seasons 1 and 2, then the all-star season). I now am 100% a UK Big Brother girl. Bonuses of BB: UK are that they have a show EVERY DAY (which feeds my nosiness)plus 2 hours every Friday for evictions, which makes it so that you see more footage and it’s less manipulative with the editing. And it’s all interesting. They don’t have people on who are trying to become actors and thinking of the show as a stepping-stone. The housemates don’t get to talk about nominations (there’s none of this HOH bullshit), so there’s no “OMG WE’RE IN AN ALLIANCE” crap. The public votes for who’s evicted. Uncensored language and nudity. Oh it is so good. AND! They have Celebrity Big Brother every January. Of course it’s all mainly British celebrities, except two years ago they had Jermaine Jackson and last year they had LaToya Jackson, Mini Me, and Coolio. Anyway. Long. Sorry.
3) Drop something. Drop something really heavy (maybe those phone books? Go get ‘em from the garbage!) right by his head.

What the hell, C’s husband? SPEND TIME WITH HER! SHE IS VERY FUNNY & PRETTY!
I can re-burn the cds and see if they work on a different kind of cd?

There really needs to be some sort of opt-in/opt-out process for the phone books. It drives me crazy too. Especially in my old neighborhood in Dallas where we would only receive Spanish versions and no – neither of us speaks Spanish.

I have a hard time looking at Jesse because his head is too small for his body.

I’m sorry C, but I absolutely love how grumpy you were in this post. It is so oddly out of character! To wake Thom up, the solution is not to drop the phone book near him, but directly on his head…yes??

I also have sporadic periods now that I am peri-menopausal. If you want to change docs, I have a Warren Clinic Dr. name Theresa McHenry and she’s really good. She’s an ob/gyn and she is also peri-menopausal, so she takes that stuff seriously. Good luck with the rest of that stuff though!

The period thing sucks. Bad. I am going through the same thing, I haven’t had mine for a little under a year. Really feels crappy when you are trying to get knocked up. :( My appointment isn’t until September.

I bet he’s not even really sleeping. He’s just pretending to sleep just to piss you off.

My friends and I were just chatting that middle age men are insane. Officially insane. And here’s another example – Thom sleeping instead of trying to impregnant you. Silly silly boy.
Since your ipod is not doing the right thing, how about if you put the cd on an old fashioned boombox and crank it UP.
