I'm Just The Vessel

There are people lurking about the blog world who really need to start their own blog. One in particular has given me some good blog material, and since she does not have her own blog, I am going to post her material here. And since I think it is a good topic, I will add to the list.

The original material regarding life's minor annoyances:

getting to bed and realizing you both forgot to turn down the heat, lock the front door, etc.

losing the remote

getting to Aldi without a quarter

expecting to use a gift card in the "self checkout"lane at Wal-mart and then realizing the lane doesn't accept gift cards

while eating dinner your 3 year old asks for the 18hundredth time, "when are we gonna have a snack"

you get into the car after your husband has just taken a quick trip alone somewhere and it's on empty

you go to use your toothbrush and suspect it tastes like some kind of bathroom cleaner- Oh that hasn't happened to you?

someone calls during American Idol

My washing machine is out of balance in the basement

And to add to the list, Deb's own minor annoyances:

going to the bathroom and realizing as you reach for the toilet paper that the roll has two squares left (and there's no kleenex to rescue you. Happened yesterday to me actually.)

stores/restaurants denying your credit card even though you know it's not even close to the limit. - yep that happened to me twice in the last few months. Once a coworker was behind me in Elder Beerman, and the other was in the Wendys drive thru and I had no cash on me.)

trying to post and children needing me in the background (I KNOW you've been in the bathtub for an hour. I just have to proofread and then I can publish.)

Only a millimeter of milk left in the gallon - and the cereal has already been poured in the bowl. Just drink the last drop already and throw the gallon away.

The phone ringing and none of the four cordless phones are on their base so I can answer.

Realizing we are out of dishwasher detergent and there's a dishwasher full of dirty dishes.

Lights on in every room in the house, both t.v.s are on downstairs, and everyone's upstairs on the computers. Now I sound like my parents (don't you know electricity isn't free!)

Having a flush and my poker nemesis having a full house (on the river, no less.)

Ah, but life is good. If this is all I have to get under my skin, I consider myself blessed. And S.W., we will be waiting for your premiere.
