Pet Peeves!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will preface this blog post with the following statement:

I have consumed vast quantities of wine, so pay attention! ;)

Pet Peeves:
#1: I loathe tardiness. And really, REALLY loathe no-shows. I am always on time or as close to on time as one can get. If not, call 911 because something's happened. I realize how important your time is and think enough of you to respect that. It's okay if you forget occasionally, but chronic tardiness is UNacceptable. Sorry. Ok, no I'm really not sorry. Fashionably late is for people who live in Beverly Hills or NYC, not here. I'm just saying.

#2: Liars...just go ahead and move on past me, please. Tell the truth, tell it slant(Shout out to Emily Dickinson)if you must, but tell the truth. I mean COME ON how hard can it be????? Apparently, extremely hard for some folks.I am not much of a liar. Of course, we all lie. If you say you don't, well, you're a liar. LOL If you ask me how you look, I'm going to tell you, "you look good". You may look like total crap, but you are not hearing it from ME. I'm pulling a "bill clinton" here....because technically, you do look good compared to being dead. Sorry, harsh...but true. ;) But I'm not talking about that kind of lying, I'm talking about the BIG stuff. Especially when you get caught...just fess up already! It's the best (and right) thing to do.

#3: Glass Half-EMPTY peeps. Get over yourselves!!!!! Life is way too short...oh, snap..that's EXACTLY what a half-emptyist would say! ROFL Oops! Oh well, you know what I mean. ;) Silver linings people!!! Silver linings!

#4: Surprises. I am not a fan of surprises. Never have been, never will be. I LOVE knowledge! I want to know "stuff"...period. I am the kid who searched for Christmas presents and when I found them (and I always did), I would open them to see what was inside! Then I would rewrap, if necessary. Yes, you should feel sorry for my mom. ;)

#5: Close-minded bigoted people. The world is a very big place, and you really need to branch out. Feel the love!! How can you watch children in Africa OR America starving and NOT FEEL??? Who cares what color they are....they're CHILDREN! Or just human!!! Come on! We are blessed beyond words and it is our duty to share! Period.

#6: Disrespectful people. Whether you are 3yrs old or 110, you should respect others. Say please and thank you, yessir or no maam (if you're Southern), let the elderly have your seat, hold the door open for people, thank the military for their service, etc.

Okay, I'm done. Later blog readers......
