Steph's Observations/Opinions of 2009

OK, I did a serious post about what I learned in 2009 and it just didn't "feel" like me. So, I thought I'd lighten it up a little.

1. Why don't people put their cart up at Hades AKA Wal-Mart??? I mean how far do you actually have to push the thing? Invariably, I always find a close parking spot, try to wheel in, only to find a cart smack dab in the middle making it impossible. Give me a break. You don't even have to push the cart ALL the way to the bin...you can get close and give it a good shove. I'm just saying.
2. I have accepted the fact that my baby girl is a pre-teen. The ONLY good thing about this is finally we no longer eat McDonald's Happy Meals/Big Kid Meals. Thank the good Lord!!! No more crappy, dinky toys. The Kroc family should make a dollar donation to a needy charity instead.
3. Speaking of crappy toys. Are we, Americans, completely incapable of making toys? ALL toys are made in China. Seriously, what isn't made in China????
4. If you don't have an IPhone, well, I'm sorry. It's like love at first sight! A phone I can actually understand, work, AND see!!! Thank you (American) Apple!!
5. 10 year old boys and 40 year old men are basically the same. Heck, you can even keep adding the years and yep, the same. Girls...not so much. Sometimes, I truly feel sorry for the guys.
6. There are some real nutjobs in the world. Why would you EVER wear rollers in your hair or pajamas/house shoes out in public? It's okay if you didn't feel like putting on makeup, but clothes/shoes...come on, that's just plain lazy! Please stop. And along the same vein, I really don't want to see your lime green thong.
7. If I stare off in the distance while you are talking, don't take it personally. I'm older and I've got a LOT on my mind. More than likely I won't even remember talking to you. Sorry, but I blame it on drinking too many Diet Cokes out of aluminum cans.
8. Also, don't take it personally if you wave at me while driving and I don't wave back. I did not see you. Seriously, I did NOT see you. Not everybody drives as noticeable of a vehicle as I do. Basically, I have a Secret Service car with an airplane sticker. How could you NOT see ME??? It's also the reason I will never go to Widener. For those of you from around here, you most definitely understand. For those not: it's our little slice of "adult entertainment" 2 miles from town. LOL
9. College is for younger people. And I mean 18 to 25 year olds. I haven't been invited to one kegger since starting ASU last fall. Total ego blow.
10. Finally, if 2010 is anywhere near as great as 2009, sign me up! So glad to be alive!

Happy New Year!!!
