Things that tick me off today:

People who whine about how they'll never get married. Guess what, bucko? You're not very attractive when you're always complaining about how single and pathetic you are. Knock it off. I'm TIRED of having this conversation with you every other time we talk. Just because I've made peace with the fact that I'm not married yet doesn't mean I've given up. Just because something didn't happen when you wanted it to doesn't mean it won't ever happen.

People who have to have everything repeated to them because they're not paying attention.

People who assume that they can just walk into my office and get what they want.

People who can't spell even though someone else spells their name TWICE.

My stupid neck not staying aligned. I can't figure out why it won't stay adjusted and I hate having to keep paying my chiropractor, much as I love him.

The annoying squeaky sound the AC makes.

People who complain about their new offices even though the new offices are gorgeous, roomy, and light.

And, if I hear one more person tell me that "you should do something about the grates in the floor" or "your office is so hard to find", I will throw something.

Other than that, today's been an awesome day!

So I discovered this.

I think I'm going to add it to my Reader. Possible.

Yeah, I can get behind that. I have my moments with the whole "50s Housewife" resurgence, moments of both annoyance and triumph, but this site speaks more to me, I think.

It's the idea of being as self-sufficient as possible (without going to extremes, of course) within your particular limits, not regressing back to a weird stereotype. I don't like the idea that women should be subservient to their husbands. I like the idea that intelligent women make a choice to beautify their surroundings and maginify their callings as wives and mothers. Whatever that means to them.

But don't become all needy and co-dependent while doing it.
