1. My phone needs a flashing beacon. Since we gave up our home phone, half the time when my cell phone rings, I can hear it but I can't see it. IT NEEDS A BEACON.
2. I always try to park near a cart return when I go grocery shopping. When I see people leaving their carts nilly-willy in the parking lot, it makes me so angry I'm tempted to go up and give them the what-for.
3. Related: When I was expecting Nicholas (about 8 months along), I was sitting in my car with my left turn signal on to turn into a parking space on a packed street. All of a sudden, using no turn signal a young woman coming from the opposite direction zipped into the space right in front of me. Y'all. I actually found another space, got out of my car and quickly caught up to her on the sidewalk. I told her what she had just done, she said she hadn't (and didn't apologize), and I told her, "I think you know EXACTLY what you did." And I stormed off to meet my friend for lunch. I STILL cannot believe I did that. The power of hormones, Internet.
4. The squirrels that live in the attic were so loud the other day that I thought I'd somehow dozed off and the cleaning ladies had let themselves in. I thought they were cleaning in Amelia's room, because I heard all sorts of clatter coming over the baby monitor. I hopped up to check, but no. It was just the squirrels. Unbelievable. Just a small sample ... Turn this up and listen.
5. I'm with Alec Baldwin. If my piddly little Words with Friends game could possibly take this plane down, I don't wanna fly your airline.
