Pet Peeve
I never think of having pet peeves, but this is something that continually bugs me and I finally figured out that it is a particular annoyance to me.

Push in your chair!!!

When did that simple etiquette fall by the wayside?

I remember when I was in elementary school and we had tables with chairs. When the class was told to stand up and get in a line to leave the room we were always admonished to push in our chairs. Always. I can hear distant echoes of long-ago teachers drifting through my brain as I write this. It is obvious as hell that this is no longer valued or taught in schools today. Children hardly ever push in their chairs. (Nor pick up their trash but that's another rant).

Older people (read that as elderly) usually always do and it is pretty hit-or-miss, with a decided slant toward miss, with the middle generation. I don't get it. Did my anal retentive side rear up as a child and force me to grasp this simple task and cling to it for a lifetime of order and courtesy? Or is it just that in today's modern society of go-go-go we sacrifice the little things in order to be "always on"?

It feels like simple things like basic manners and common courtesy are fading, leaving behind a general sentiment of annoyance and frustration. If only we all took that extra second or two and exercised the little things, we might feel better. Of a certainty it would make our lives better in the long run. "It only takes a moment to be polite." -Benton Fraser, Due South. (See the things I learn from tv?)

So I guess, be nice, be polite, be considerate, and push in your damn chair! That's what I want you to take from this. Well, that and Due South has all the answers.

Blog #210
Big Hunk Of BORED


I'm currently sat here with my nightshirt pulled over the back of my chair.
If I lean back, my skin gets pressed against cold plastic, and it feels funny.
The front fabric is pulling on my tummy and under my arms - I like seeing how far I can lean forward before it pulls too tightly.

I've spent a large portion of today playing Guitar Hero - a combination of GH3, Aerosmith and World Tour.
Oddly enough, my favourite, Greatest Hits - remained unplayed.

I was mainly focusing on playing songs I hadn't done and improving old scores.
Only on Easy and Medium though - I'm concentrating on getting the shitty difficulties finished before I go onto the fun ones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched Criminal Minds and Live At The Apollo downstairs with mam and dad while I ate Mini Milks.
Stand-up comedy isn't even that funny. It only has rare giggle moments.

FarmVille is proper mint now.
They've introduced an achievement system - and it's encouraged Shelly to come back and play it more.
They're awards that give you EXP points, money and gifts for completing menial tasks like harvesting stuff, buying buildings/decorations and taking photos of other farms.

I've spent about an hour completing the easier tasks and those I could get on with - the others shall take some time, it seems.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to Ash's tomorrow, so it looks to be an eventful day for a sodding change.
My blog will be minorly interesting for once. :)

I need to print out some DATWBSVOH to show Tracey lmfao.
So I either need to find a DECENT bit of chapter 1 - or actually write a decent bit. :(
 
 
 

   
Date Day with Hubby!
Before I start bitching a little I had a wonderful day yesterday.  Even if I was getting crabby by the end of the day and pist Randy off a little.

First I ran the kids to school after packing them a sack lunch.  Off to the Omaha Zoo the 4th and 5th graders went for their yearly field trip.  After I got home, Randy got dressed and I followed him up to the city to the Ford dealer (stupid ass fords!) to get his work truck fixed.  We didn't want to go all the way back home to get a phone call to go back up to get the truck if they got it fixed fast.  They didn't.  

While we were waiting to hear from lax customer support people at Ford, Randy & I went out to his work so he could talk to the owners.  We bullshitted.  Then we hit Bomgaars (for city folk that is a type of store where you can get clothes, gardening supplies, farm equipment, livestock supplies, and occasional live animals such as chicks, ducks, turkies, rabbits and such).  Randy pointed out a burn ring (fire ring for those that don't live in the country).  I hemmed and hawed.  It had trees and deer on it.  Dayumit I was promised a Dragon or Faery one last year at t his time and didn't get it!  But we did get a dog collar for DeLaney's dayum naughty dog.  From there we went to the Verizon store to get a new holster and Blue Tooth ear thingy for Randy's work phone.  I managed to finally get a car charger for my cell phone I barely use.  After that we hit Lowes and looked for burn rings (That is my mother's day gift).  They didn't have any but we did get a screwed up plug in light bulb for the base my idiot brother bought for our hall way with out asking us!  

We hit Golden Corral (I do NOT recommend that as a family restaurant simply because they cost way to much for even two people!).  We were having a date day!:O:D  To kill yet more time we went to PetSmart.  Where I picked up some bird supplies for my Cocketeil Dirty Bird.  I asked about trantulas and they said nope don't carry them try PetCo.  Okay.  Then we headed downtown to the other Bomgaar's where I broke down and allowed Randy to get me the same burn ring we looked at, at the first Bomgaar's.  I stopped hemming and hawing because if I didn't get it I wouldn't get a Mamma's Day gift again this year.  It is a good size one even if it is similar to my girl Bree's.  Her's has elk on it and is smaller so I guess it is okay.  We also got DeLaney's naughty assed dog a dog house and is permenatly outside now.  Yay!  My house is back to being only kids, cats, & a bird!  

PetCo was right next to this Bomgaar's so we went in.  JackPOT!  The last Rose Tarantula in the city!  Coltin has been bugging for a tarantula since he was seven.  When we got DeLaney's dog we told him let's give it 6 months and then we will get you your spider.  Randy I found out HATES spiders.  He rather deal with snakes and I rather deal with spiders (I think spiders are cute creatures!).  Between the terrarirum (sp?) and the spider under 30 bucks.  So far way cheaper then DeLaney's dayum dog!  Plus we have all the food right in our yard to feed the lil bug!  Coltin is estatic!  We got the spider because Sioux City has the tarantula's listed as a banned animal because they are vemonous.  doesn't matter if it isn't to humans!  Those taratunulas they don't sell in the first place!

After that we went to a smoke shop so I could get some long awaited clove cigs.  I got those and some cherry cigs.  Then I had fun looking around this booze/cig shop.  Needless to say Randy has added that store to the list of banned pet stores I can't go in unless he is with me.  I walk out with animals with or without him so I don't get that ban!  Do you?:D  Then we headed towards one of the Wally Worlds and decieded nope lets go into Gameshop where I can buy yet another MecAssult 2 for Randy.  The clerk was a elementry friend!  How kewl is that!  An acutal  friend.  Then we went to a furnature store.  I got a new couch and chair coming today!  

We finally heard from Ford!  Yay truck has to stay in shop!  They could have called us sooner because we just spent money all day!  Randy says we can't have another date day for a while cause we beebopped all over the city spending money!  I agreed!

But it was a good day!  Then we picked up the kids!  We played Xbox Monopoloy all night long as a family!  

Edit:  My kids are in 3rd and 4th grades at this time NOT 4th and 5th.  That will be next school year!  Excuse me if I get things confused!  DeLaney has volleyball camp today and that is only for 4-6th grades!

A little screw will do ya
We still have this broken down office furniture which is making the sitting at the computer a bit annoying. Thankfully, hubby is a mastermind with the screwgun *aka drill* so he was able to shore up the back and sides of the chair in a manner that makes it almost as sturdy as it was before it broke. One day...oh one day...we will get the PERFECT chair for our computer desk and it will never break! OH to just dream of that day....
