1. This is a new-ish pet peeve. It only developed when I started working in the building I currently work in and I have to walk from the parking deck, often down at least one flight of stairs, through a sky bridge, down an escalator, through a lobby and then ride an elevator 33 stories up everyday. People who walk in my blind sight. It's just like driving - you know there's that one spot behind that you can't exa2. ctly see. WHY DO PEOPLE WALK THAT CLOSE?!?! I make it a point to walk as close to the right side of the area as I can so that the fast walkers can get past me without getting caught up behind the slow girl. You have AMPLE space! WHY are you walking right behind me? Do you think they don't realize they're doing it? I have no idea, but it's SUPER annoying. I've started doing this semi-backwards glance/glare thing when people do it now. I know, real mature, Susanne.
2. Toppers. Does this really need a lengthy description? No. We all know them, maybe we've even been one at one time or another. Toppers. I'm telling you a story and you either a) wait until I'm finished OR b) interrupt me to tell me your own bigger better story that often times doesn't even relate to my story. Sometimes I humor these toppers. Other times I get this annoyed look on my face and walk away. Quickly. I'm going to give you time to talk, can you please just let me have my 3 1/2 minutes of attention without taking it away?
3. This is a very shallow pet peeve. And I hesitate to even share it... but oh well. I'm just being honest here... it's a pet peeve of mine when my iphone takes a long time to load a webpage. There. I said it. I know, typical white girl problem. I guess I thought the iphone was the greatest invention since grey new balances and I had these really high expectations for what it was capable of. Well apparently it's a phone and I don't need to have unrealistic expectations for it. Because yeah, sometimes it's going to take more than 7 seconds to load a page. And that's okay.
4. Do I have a #4? Not sure. I had all these great ideas earlier for what I was going to include in my blog post and now they escape me. Maybe I need to start taking notes like I did during college classes when I had brilliant ideas for what I was going to blog about later when I got back to my dorm room. Sorry, this really isn't a #4 at all. But I like numbered lists so I'm keeping it.
Oh and I think I'm going to explore Tumblr. No commitment or anything, I'm just curious about it. I'll keep you posted.
Also, the namesake of this blog, my beloved Woodford celebrated his 1st birthday last week. It was an emotional day for Mom here. But we made it through and I think he enjoyed having all the attention on him for an evening, complete with a birthday cake made by my cousin that was actually not bad. I think it was banana peanut butter flavored. It tasted like human food to me! Just a little unsweet for my tastes. All in all we had a good time. OH and I made hot dogs and we had a hot dog bar in honor of the dog. So fun!
Ok that's all I've got for now.
