Yup, aha, next…
Just last week I waxed and waned about a pet peeve of mine. Well, I have many. And many are not really all that deep nor are they truly things that keep me up at night. They are just things that mildly irk me and once I talk […]
Hi…oh, nevermind
Pet peeves, despite being fundamentally annoying, can be fun. Or rather, one can laugh at them. Or rather, one can laugh at the people who have some silly pet peeves. Or, you can commiserate and list out your own. Today, someone shared with me several of their pet […]
Pet peeve: Sticky price stickers
I love shopping for shoes. I just do. I own one too many pairs. And, I am om with that. We each have our thing. My thing is shoes. I also like dresses. I like them a lot. I need something to go with the shoes. This past […]
People can look into your soul everytime you open your mouth
It is amazing how many people do not think before they speak. I think we are advised from an early age that we should pause, listen and craft our messages. Sure, that becomes more and more nuanced from kindergarten onwards. Some people may not be as tactful as […]
Pet peeve: Hiding the candy and chips from myself
This week I would not help myself. I had two pet peeves I focused on as I suppose I let some things bother me. I am a fairly easy going person until I am not. I am Type A until you drive me to the point of […]
Pet peeve: Why must there be blue cheese in my salad?

Pet peeve: Clearing the table before everyone is done
I have a list of pet peeves that I ocassionally feel the need to share with you all. I share joy. I share pain. Life, apparently, is for mass consumption and sharing. Today, is a day to share an irritant. It’s nothing large. Just a few thoughts here […]
Pet peeve: Was there ever juicy, long-lasting chewing gum?
Sometimes we picture the past in a way that it didn’t exist. We romanticize some past points in ways that make us nostalgic for things that never existed or happened. There is even a book by Stephanie Coontz called “The Way We Never Were” that dissects decades of our […]
Pet peeve: I agree to finish it by the completely arbitrary time you pick
There are many things to rant about these days. Toys R Us is closing due to a perfect storm representative of the changing times. I loved that store. Although, I will admit I didn’t shop there all that often as of late. That’s part of the problem, […]
