new year's resolutions and other crap

oh man facebook this morning... happy new year times 147 times :| really....? oh yeah - same status update(x147) - different year :) and how much do i hate 'twenty ten' instead of two thousand and ten? it's such a car commercial way to say it :|

we celebrated the new year at new york time as always - why stay up till midnight when you can do it at 9pm with no muss no fuss?! then we realized our first and only con for moving to Massachusetts... we would have to actually stay up till midnight... unless.... we celebrated Britain's new year at 7pm and then even the kids would still be up!!! yay, problem solved - we are moving!

i have resolutions as always! the same resolutions, different year, naturally:

1. spend less money on pointless crap
2. eat less things that are bad (already broken due to eating brownie for breakfast)
3. stop being polite and start getting real (and i MEAN IT THIS YEAR!!)

i break number 3 every single day several times a day, i am so scared to appear impolite.... eg. home depot: i go in there for the cheapest possible can of paint. i find it hard to pick one that isn't just like milky water but still isn't pointlessly overpriced, so i umm and ahh over the selection and some helpful person comes along and tells me i should really buy the behr paint/primer combo because they think it rocks. so i make a huge pantomime of thanking them profusely and walking away with it, like a weight has been lifted from my heavy shoulders. then i decide, heck, i don't really want to pay $30 for $15 worth of paint as the wall is basically being freshened up not radically changed in color, so i dump it in the plumbing aisle. as i go to check out with my one little pack of command adhesive strips, the helpful person is also heading to the checkout :| so i have to hide in the ceiling fan dept till they have left so as not to crush them by not heeding their good advice. it sucks to be sensitive and thoughtful

this morning i watched 'amazing wedding cakes' by accident, the title said it was 'bridezillas' but unfortunately this show was even more trivial and annoying. oh my god, cakegirls in chicago - i want to go in there with a big long piece of wood and smash every sorry cake to smithereens just to piss off the whiny little guy with the old man flat cap, the nerd glasses and the most annoying voice EVER. i hate most everyone on the show (it's cake for gawd's sake!!!! stop taking it all so damned seriously!!!!) but cakegirls in chicago - if i ever have very little time to live, you're soooo on my bad-things-i-will-do-when-i-have-very-little-time-left-to-live list :|

off to the mexican supermarket to look for the drainer again. Aaron says it's a strainer not a drainer. he's so wrong and we fight all the time about this pointless kind of stuff. it's 'tip me UP and pour me out' not 'tip me OVER and pour me out' man. and Max is way nicer than Ruby, you are the ONLY person on earth on team Ruby! and it's a drainer NOT a strainer :) subject: closed :|
