Pet Peeves

Everyone has pet peeves, right? Little things that, for some reason, just bug the crap out of you....!

I thought for fun, I'd list 10 of my pet peeves. I'm sure most of us can relate to some of these. They are:

1. I hate it when I go to a fast food place, and they have the ketchup or napkins behind the counter. What the heck?

2. I hate those networks or tv shows that dedicate 99% of air time to either Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan. I don't care about these shells of people that are as deep as a puddle. Who cares?!

3. I hate "nothing talk" or "small talk". I honestly want to throw up when I hear people talking about nothing. I understand that sometimes small talk is necessary to break the ice, but people that talk about nothing all day really bug.

4. I hate political correctness.

5. I hate NASCAR. It's not a sport. It's an excuse for w.t. to get together and eat moon pies and bbq and scope on relatives.

5. I hate it when professional athletes think they are a god, just because they can throw a ball well or shoot a ball accurately. Give me a break.

5. I hate Utah drivers. As soon as a drop of rain hits the ground, or if a cop just happens to be parked on the side of the freeway, everyone MUST decelerate to 35 mph. UHH!

6. I hate cats. They give nothing back. They shed. And, they are snobby. Say what you will, but cats are like a stuck up hot chick. They just put their noses in the air at you, even if you are the one feeding it and providing it shelter.

7. I hate the Disney Channel. If I wanted cheese, I'd order a pizza.

8. I hate it when I make reservations at a restaurant, and then I get there and they make me wait a while for my table.

9. I hate it when, on the road, people get all peeved when you quickly tap your horn at them, because they have failed to notice that the light has turned green. It's not my fault you suck.

10. I hate the style of "emo's". You know those guys, that are like 70 pounds, and wear pants that are skin tight from the waist down to the very bottom. They try to look all grungy, with messed up hair. When, really, they've paid hundreds of dollars to look like a dumpster just spat them out. What a joke.

Just One Week

Can I just say what a difference one week makes?! This past week, I took the week off. I had almost nothing planned, and I was excited about that. We did a bunch of low key things, and ate out a few times, but for the most part, my last week was pretty slow paced.

I didn't really spend many late nights up, trying to make the most out of each day of vacation. But, I went to bed at a decent hour, and slept in until about 8 or 9 every morning. This morning, even though I was coming into work for the first time in 10 days, I felt great!!! I can't remember the last time I felt that good at work. I felt refreshed, alert, and I was happy!

A lot of times, we tend to think, when we take a vacation that something grandiose needs to be planned or scheduled. This is completely over rated. I did nothing all week, and it was everything I ever thought it could be. Man, being lazy has its advantages!!!
