Quibbles & Quirks

Sometimes it aint all about shopping here... the Mr. and I had a quibble over a crock pot. That's right, a crockpot. Newlyweds fight over pot roast. Dear lord, what have we become!? Thankfully, I married someone who loves me and puts up with my crazy shizz.

Anyway, our quibble (over particular habits I have) lead to me thinking about quirks that I've noticed about myself.
(Which either might make me seem strangely OCD or cute and quirky).
I have a hard time with conflict and taking criticism. I am polite to a really bad fault. But, of course thats another post for another therapeutic day!

I can't start the day until the bed is made. I like to be all "set up". For example, if I'm sitting down on the couch with my laptop to do work - I have to have everything near by: books on the coffee table, pens and notebook on the side table & a bottle of water beside. I like the smell of real leather - so when I'm in a store with leather goods - I sniff away (I'm sure the employees love that)! I'm always thinking about the most efficient way to get somewhere - even if I'm in town, I try to figure out the place with less traffic. I love chocolate pudding and dipping sourdough pretzels in creamy dill mustard. Old school Janet Jackson. I enjoy a sincere Thank You note and don't enjoy people who don't have gratitude. Oh, and I enjoy my Starbucks non-fat grande latte without foam (I swore I'd never be that person but here I am adding a shot somedays).

*You thought you'd finally get a post that had focus, clarity and a point. But alas, read on for random thoughts!*

In other news, our cable internet provider has caused me to CURSE PROFUSELY this week. Listen, I understand things break down and need service. But should we wait for a week after caling in a service request before calling again since no one has come to our house or called? Should we be given a sliver of customer service, since we have been out of service for a week straight? There are a few things that really push my buttons and one is when people can't get their Damn jobs done. After 2 days of repeated calling for internet service. Gawwwd, it makes me crazy.

In BETTER news, I received my ATLoft and Land's End purchases. Gals, the Marisa Fit Sanded Trouser is ridiculously comfortable. The Lands End pant has great quality and lined with a pink/white striped oxford material around the waist and pocket - I enjoy details like that.
Eddie Bauer sent me the wrong size boot, so I'm in exchange process right now, but will let you know how they work out when I get them!

This week's episodes of The Hills & Gossip Girls = loving it.

And when I went over to Ladybug's Picnic to tell her how delish her Pumpkin - Chocolate Recipe was (umm, the husband killed half a loaf two hours after it came out of the oven - it is beyond yummy!) and found out she was pregnant!

So, despite the annoyances, today is definitely become a better blogger day...!
