Yesterday I forgot a few things that were annoying me... and still are.
Healthcare reform. Mainly those opposed to it. I decided today that "Republicans should listen to NPR instead of Fox news. The world would be a happier place." I can't begin to say how annoyed I am with this entire situation. I finally figured out my superhero power though, I would like to have the power to kick people out of the country.
NPR's odd necessity to tell me the weather forecast every 10 minutes. In my 1 hour commute I get a weather updates. Totally not necessary.
There was something else but I forgot it again. In new annoyances:
I wrote my aunt an email. My aunt did something like "Mom, Melissa was mean to me." So my grandmother wrote me and email that basically said "Please don't talk to your aunt until you get facts from me first." My aunt pissed me off, I told her she pissed me off. Really not sure why I have to run that past my grandma first. My family is ridiculously childish.
Clients going on vacation. 3 files I was scheduled to receive next week and could have gotten done before I left on vacation are now coming the next week. Well the next week I will be gone and the files will therefore have to be late...the question is how late, since I will have other work ready for me when I get back.
I would really like it if my two best friends were in the country right now. A non-bloggable issue has come up and I need to talk! But one's in Israel and one's in Japan. Why?!

Annoyed
I was really annoyed earlier. I feel better now, after my work out, but still.
Grr to people bitching and being sneaky and annoying (long story)
to it being hot
to fruit flies
to pages that are 400 words too long
to Word 2007 and its non-compatible files
to people putting things in 4 docs instead of 1
to those nagging thoughts about wedding dresses
to back pain
I think I let it all get to me at once.
Anyways, I finished Julie and Julia last night. Although I'm not a foodie, I did enjoy this book. It's pretty cute and I could actually picture me and John if I tried such a project. ha! Anyway, there's a lot in it about food, obviously, and sometimes I was kind of "yawn" about that, I'll admit. But the concept of the Project as well as getting into the lives of these characters was fun and entertaining.
I'm still thinking I should wait to see the movie though. I imagine both will be their own thing, but I can't just jump right from one to another.
I've had a hard time figuring out what to read next. I have a pile of books (yay gift cards!) but I keep going "oh, save that for vacation." Not that I'll ever get through the now large vacation pile in one week, but still, I keep doing it. I think I'm going to read Firefly Lane.
In other book news, I discovered something I would probably find interesting, Offbeat Bride. (Don't get any ideas, there are no plans for a wedding around here.) I figure I won't probably be a bride, but if I were, I'm sure things would not be ordinary. And I like when others don't follow the norm either, so this would probably at least entertain me, if not give me unnecessary ideas for my fictional dream wedding.
In other news, John was 5 years old the other day with a new Nerf dart gun. He shot me with it and I was not pleased. It now resides at work, where John and his boss (who has his own gun) somehow get work done whist fighting a Nerf war.
