7 Things Currently Irrtating Me

(Prepare yourselves for some bitching)

1. I'm irritated that the plumber won't call to fix our hot water issue (it lasts for about 7 minutes at a time). I haven't been able to relax in a much needed bath since about September. You know, maybe these things wouldn't irritate me so much if I could just partake in my ONE guilty pleasure.

2. I'm irritated by nearly 70 degree weather on January 7th!!! Be winter already! Give me some nice below freezing highs and one nice big snow storm. Please!!! Can you sue Mother Nature? (Jim's idea) You know, for not holding up her end of the bargain? I mean what kind of world is it where the high in Cincinnati, in January is more than in L.A.?

3. I'm irritated that I'm getting bags under my eyes and I know it's not because I just woke up. It's cause I'm nearing 40 and I guess that's what happens. My boobs are probably sagging too. It's hard to tell though since there isn't much there to sag.

4. In conjunction with #3, I'm irritated that eye cream - any brand - costs about $20 for 1 ounce. You cannot tell me that the same ingredients you find in any beauty product suddenly cost that much! No, it's because women, fearing wrinkles and age are willing to pay that much for just a little relief.

5. I'm irritated that I can't get my Pumpkin Spice creamer anymore. Or my second favorite Gingerbread. I'm on my last bottle and will soon have to go back to regular old French Vanilla!

6. I'm irritated that though I haven't had any of my mystery pains in over a month (knock on wood) my stomach suddenly, at times decides that there must be a mass evacuation. Ever since my colonoscopy, my colon can't seem to get it together. I'm thinking that IBS must be the culprit.

7. I'm irritated that I haven't won the lottery yet. I mean, come on!!! I play on an inconsistent basis. Wouldn't that be a great story? "Woman who sporadically played lottery for years, WINS!!!"

K, that's it for now. I'm sure I'll have much more to bitch about later. Must go scat - oh, that's right, I don't have to scat because late last night there was some sort of fire drill practice in my butt.
