Annoyed

The following are reasons that I have been annoyed for the last few days.  Most of these have absolutely no merit, and I shouldn't be annoyed by them, but I just am:

• It's raining.  I'm over the rain.  I want to wake up to a beautiful sunny day.

• Speaking of waking up, can you tell me why it feels and looks like 4 am when I wake up at 7???

• Why is there NO parking at the gym? 

• Why is there NO parking anywhere in LA for that matter???

• I am having severe body issues these past couple of weeks.  I cannot get past my arms.  How come I take my ass to the gym 4-5 days a week, do cardio and weights and my arms are still like elephant trunks?

• I know that I probably should be trying to keep my eating in check, but when C pulls out chocolate almost EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, how come I can't walk away and say, "oh, this orange looks SO MUCH BETTER!"?

• Our mail situation at home is totally out of control.  We don't have an office in this apartment, so our kitchen doubles as an office, with the computer and ALL of the mail, strewn on the dining room table.  Tell me, do you guys have any brilliant mail organizing solutions for me?

• Why does C only clean up in spurts?  I appreciate it when he does, but why is it that every morning when I wake up and come into the living room, there is always much evidence of the night before - maybe a glass of wine, dishes, said chocolate, magazines, clothes, etc?  I don't want to be a nag but how can I politely say "dear, clean your SHIT up"!

• C still hasn't returned back to work since the strike ended a week ago.  I know that he will get a job soon enough, but I secretly stress out for him and for us - even though he really rarely does.

• My boss likes to preach.  Ask him something political, cut to two hours of him still talking with dramatic pauses and all.  Same goes when you ask him to pass the chips or what movie did he see this weekend.   

Alright, surprisingly, I feel better.  What are you annoyed about this morning?

I know how you feel about the rain...it FINALLY cleared up here, but it's getting cloudy AGAIN.

So yeah, I think that's the only thing I'm annoyed about :)

Hope things go up on your end soon!

~Peace~

Dude it's just one of those days. Everything is annoying me today.

I'm with you on the keeping the eating in check. I ate so much junk food this weekend - grilled cheese, hamburgers, french fries, chocolate truffles, etc, etc - and now I feel like crap. But when Mark is around and we're constantly going out to eat it is SO HARD. I was planning on finding a picture of a bikini and maybe a beach online today to print out and put on my desk as motivation NOT to go buy that gigantic bag of Peppermint Patties!

I am hating the rain right now too. It's really affecting my mood. As for eating, it's like a constant war in my head - sucks. As for the mail, get a shredder, shred everything and throw it away. For the actual mail, get baskets - one for you and one for him and one for you both and toss them in there.

So the mail clutter? I totally feel your pain. I broke down and seriously got my paper clutter around my apartment under control. What I found works best are the office stacking trays that people use for in-going, out-going stuff. I put bills on the top, other significant, but not pressing mail on the second tray, and the catalogs, magazines, etc. on the bottom. I spend about 10 minutes on the weekend sorting through it, mailing bills, and forcing myself to decide if I want to keep the catalogs & magazines or trash them, so as to clear out the space for next's week round of mail. If you don't want to waste precious horizontal surfaces, try using those stand up magazine box holder things, for lack of a better word. I hope this helps~

I am annoyed with the rain today, too. Walking a dog who hates to get wet is a frustrating way to start any morning.

No suggestions about the mail but if you find a way let me know because I have the same problem.

Hope tomorrow is a better day!

I am hating the COLD. And winter in general.

And I missed my workout this morning because I was up late last night. Boo.

[julybug]

I hate being pulled into a meeting the exact second I'm about to eat lunch. A meeting I had no knowledge of and I had no information for. Also, I'm very over winter.

[katelin]

I am definitely not a fan of this rain crap...the weekend was so gorgeous, I want that again!

And the parking at the gym?!? Do we go to the same gym?! Because seriously last night was a joke! People stop going to the gym I tell you, you don't need to work out, haha!

[ana]

I want to wake up to a sunny day too. Grays in the sky makes my heart cave in. Parking is becoming a global issue...argh!

[Jess]

For the mail, get a filing cabinet (or set of organizing trays) and a cheap shredder and set aside time to go through it all every few days. And sign up for those no junk mail lists. I hope that helps.

Everything is annoying me today, too. Especially my cute little pups, which can only mean one thing: PMS. And only a 400 calorie cookie helped. :)

Heart you!

[Princess Pointful]

Why do boys and cleaning not go together?? Seriously, it's such a cliche, but it's TRUE!!
I'm annoyed about having twenty two million things to do. That pretty much sums it up.

[QueenBee]

People that interrupt me annoy me.

[Sandy]

Ohh yeah- my guys guilty about the whole not cleaning thing. The best part? He claims it's his roommate that's messy-not him. I just don't get why that makes his room just as messy as all the others? Yah. I'm with you!

Things that are annoying me? The damn weather- my face feels like it's gonna freeze off everytime I walk outside. Also, my trip to New York being postponed til May. And this zit I have on my cheek isn't helping things one. bit.

[Molly]

Ohhh our arms must be sisters! They should just give up and get together for pizza and martinis.

[Bhanu]

The SNOW in Canada is CRAZY, and non stop! I mean there hasn't been THIS much snow in ...well as long as I can remember!

And there is this dude at my work...but he annoys EVERYONE!
