Jimmy's DOWN

Hello kids! I know it has been a while. Quite a while. And I don't think that anyone even reads this blog anyway. However, today I will still write, even if no one reads. My apologies for the delay, and I must say happy thanksgiving, merry christmas, happy new year, and a wonderful valentives day to all of you, because, yes, that's just how long it has been since I even logged into blogger. I hardly have time to shower on a regular basis let alone blog. My bad in thinking that clean arm pits are most inmportant. Maybe I should rethink that...hmm.

Anyway, on to with the show. Today's topic: Pet Peeves!! My pet Peeves!!! (and let me advise you, there are many, many).

--Writing in third person. Similar to everyone's favorite Seinfeld episonde where gym Jimmy talks in third person, I rarely think it is necessary to write, particularly blog write, in third person. If you are a couple and you have a blog, and you both update it, well then, write in first person. We will figure it out. We are not that slow. At some point we will catch on to which one of you is actually writing. And if we can't, perhaps we will look at the bottom of the blog to see who the blog was "posted by". To read blog updates that say "John is still a scout master" and "Jill is still working at the preschool" is to say to your readers that you are so important that you must not use the word "I", ever. Well I'm here to tell you that none of you are that important.

--Writing checks at retail establishments, namely, the grocery store express lane. WELCOME. TO. THE. 21ST. CENTURY. GET. A DAMN. DEBIT. CARD. AND. LEARN. TO. USE. IT. Wow, I feel better now that I got that one out.

--Flakes. Don't be the type of person who says they will go to dinner with you next week, and then suddenly has no money to go, but then in turn invites you out to the bar the next night. If you have no money, then you have no money. If you intend not to, or care not to go to dinner, just say so from the very beginning. Don't commit to things/events you never intend to do, it's just disrespectful.

--People who DO NOT have children, but are still always late. Okay, so if you have kids, I get it. Kids make you run continually late. I understand; butts explode, kernels of corn go up the nose, shoes get lost. But if you do not have kids, then there is no excuse for you to be continually late. Get a watch. Set an alarm. Hire a secretary. BE ON TIME!! Especially in work settings where the rest of the group was on time, and is now waiting for your late ass to get your crap together to get somewhere you know you had to be.

Okay, I think that's all for this afternoon. Whew. Scuba and I have been frantically rearranging the house, buying furniture, selling furniture, cleaning, in preparation for the wedding and the rest of our lives. It has been a lot of work. We finally have a desk (from where I type) and the office is almost put together. I will post some pictures of it once it is all finished (which I hope is by the end of the week).

If you love us, please leave a comment. And if you don't love us, please still leave a comment. We like to know that someone out there still knows we are alive. And, what are all of y'alls pet peeves? Am I the only high strung one at the grocery store???
