Gripe here
My husband is sick, causing him to snore like Godzilla last night. I finally moved to the guest room at 3 am. Omelet guy burned my veggie omelet this morning. Also, I'm not clear on how to spell omelet. Harumph. And now a positive. Dodgeball tournament at work today! I'm rooting for IT.
Re: Gripe here
I have to have lunch with my mother-in-law today, and I just saw her on Tuesday. We live 3 hours apart; I should not have to have this much contact with her at non-holiday times. (She's actually not bad, as far as MILs go--this is just way more contact than I'm used to.)
Positive: our friend who we hired to finish painting is almost done, which means I'm very close to being able actually to use my living room. Hooray!
My husband also snored last night because he's sick. I also moved to the spare room at 3am.
I'm hungrrrrrrryyyy. I'm really trying not to pack on 38 lbs like I did last pregnancy, but I need something to eat. Something big like 4 tacos and fries supreme, or a roti.
I'm that kind of tired too Mashed. Tired enough that when I was putting on makeup I started to put my mascara brush to my lips. I'm in the midst of a Jessie Spano "TIME? THERE'S NEVER ANY TIME!" freakout.
I have the 'constant farting' thing that Mashed complained about earlier this week, only mine stink. Bad.
Also, I complained at the begining of RI that I have pain in a very localized spot on my arm that feels like someone snuck into my bedroom while I was sleeping and gave me a flu shot. I still have it. A week later.

I'm sorry you have arm syphillis Groomz. I'll wrap my TP around your arm.
I have a day of meetings. One involves me driving over an hour to get to. Normally I don't mind those meetings, but this one is smack dab in the middle of the day so I can't just go home afterward like I normally do.
My husband was sick last night too, but he had a case of the barfies. You know what smells worse than chili? Chili barf. He normally wants to be left entirely alone when he pukes, but last night he felt like he needed me there to rub his back (he was convinced he was choking). I could handle the puke, but the smell was too much. Ew. You're welcome, everybody!

mine started to smell bad last night, I think it was the 40 clove garlic chicken I ate, at least I won't be butt raped by a vampire.

I have mastitis... it sucks. I feel like someone sucker punched me in the chest. But at least the fever, chills, and full body aches are gone today thanks to an antibiotic.
I really really want a burger and fries from 500 degrees... but I'm hoping the crappy, nasty, wet weather will keep me from leaving my office to get them. Especially since Trav and I just talked about how we have to be more careful with discretionary spending right now since our stupid mortgage payment is about to go up. I can not shop at all, no problem... but food is my spending weakness.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

Everyone is so on-point hilarious today that if I told everyone how hilarious they are being, I would get nothing else done because that's all I'd do all day.
Plus then I'd start to look insincere and no one would take me seriously and they'd all be like "GOD moo, is there anything you DON'T find funny!?" And I'd have to say racism and homophobia. I do not find those things funny. And then the sad trombone would play and everything would be ruined.

I have a gripe that will possibly get me flamed.
A friend is hosting a baby shower for me and MrTummy in NY. It's actually a coed, evening cocktail party, and is less about opening presents and more about us getting to see our NY friends one last time before birthing. This is all great.
The hostess (understandably) called my mom before she started planning in order to make sure there wasn't already another shower planned. She then sent an invitation to my parents.
The gripe: I don't want my parents to go. They would be the only older adults there. I don't even think they'd have a good time. I don't want to have to act as the social buffer between them and the other guests. I'm already seeing my parents on two other weekends in November, so it's not like this is our only chance to spend time together. At the shower, I just want to have a fun night with my friends. I've tried dropping hints in conversations with my mother, but she isn't getting it.
If they come, it's not the end of the world, and I realize I probably sound whiny and ungrateful.
Jesus Noisy! You make it so easy to love you, you whore.
It's 45 degrees and raining here today. I can't seem to snap out of it.
I had a migraine last night and I didn't recognize my left arm. That was sort of weird. My main gripe is that I'm blah.

Does the F stand for furry?
I'm editing my work newsletter now and I HATE IT. It looks like crap and the last one I did looked awesome, so now I feel I have something to live up to.
My godmother is selling her house outside of Buffalo and it's my most favoritest house on the planet. She's asking $219K and not getting any offers. I don't want it to sell because she said if Tim and I got jobs in Buffalo she's gladly sell it to us FOR LESS THAN THAT (!!!!) but that's not happening anytime soon. I will cry when she sells this house. It's effing awesome and HUGE.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
I imagine that a deodorant that promises to reduce pit hair would be a deodorant highly likely to give you deodorant crunchies in said pit hair.
I log my complaint against deodorant crunchies. And Swamp People.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
It stands for fuccking...because I'm fuccking awesome! And anyway, my armpits are hairy, not my pants! Ugh. I hate you.
My other gripe is I was sitting on the couch last night and I was all lonely and I wanted Cali to be in my living room.
Or any of you, really. But Cali and I stayed up til the crack of Fenton's phone call so it was the most logical choice.
Did I mention I don't find racism funny? BUT I LOVE ALL OF YOU.

I am so in agreement. I keep wanting to snag things for siggy quotes, but my siggy is already way too long and the quotes are too long and there are too many of them! Perhaps I will start telling people when they are NOT funny rather than when they are. It'll save time.
I bet Christin could make racism and homophobia hilarious.

I dunno. Passive-aggressive Christin becomes way less passive when you strangle her. Perhaps snoring has the same effect.
