Yesterday on Twitter I mentioned that I don’t like whole wheat bread. I just don’t. You can’t give me a slice of dense, blah whole wheat bread after letting me eat delicious (whole grain!) oatmeal bread my entire life and tell me to like it. I will not. I do not want spelt, rye, sprouts, grains, seeds or other assorted crap in my bread. I just want my oatmeal bread.
I’m done pretending and ordering whole wheat bread on my sandwiches at restaurants so I can win the approval of Nobody At My Table.
Other things that I am over?
Everyone acting like K-cups make the worst coffee in the world. I get it! You are an environment saving, fresh ground coffee drinking kind of person and that is ok! My Dad makes cappuccinos at his house every day, with freshly steamed milk and it is very delicious. At my house we have a Keurig. I drink 95% of the coffee in our house, I’m apparently not too worried about the waste and I think it tastes fine. Please stop letting me know how pedestrian that is.
Politics on Facebook, especially sharing vignettes or photos that are not real and can easily be debunked on Snopes. Need I say more?
Shopping for our new bed & bedding. There is no one store that sells everything I want and this goes against my general principles of life, notably Keep It Simple Stupid. But no, I have a mattress and bed and comforter from one store, sheets from a second and a duvet cover and shams from a third. If I order the new headboard right away, that adds a fourth. This is me, giving everyone who sells only one component of a new bed the side eye. (Mattress = Ikea, I KNOW, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS LATER BUT I PROMISE I’M NOT CRAZY, sheets = Bed Bath and Beyond, duvet/shams = Pottery Barn on sale, boo-yah.)
Thinking 2005 was, I don’t know, what, 2 years ago? And I started college 5 years ago I think? WHAT? TEN YEARS AGO? This time stuff has got to sort itself out.
My scale. We don’t need to say anything else, just suffice to say I AM OVER IT.
Bread. Coffee. Time. Politics. Weight. Shopping.
I’m just over it.
What are you over?
I am also so over the FB thing. The memes that came out months ago that have long since been proven wrong or that obviously aren’t true. (Yesterday I saw one about an unnamed professor of Econ at an unnamed college whose students decided they liked Obama’s socialist policies, and so the Prof graded them that way. Sure… really believe that that actually happened.)
And I will not judge you for Keurig-using. It’s convenient, people. Deal.
I’m super proud of myself that it took this long into my comment to say I am over pregnancy. But I am ooooooooooover it.
Politics on facebook (oy vey); jazz (I’ve tried to like jazz now for 20 years and I have given up – I don’t like it. I want to be the kind of person who likes it, but I don’t, I hate it); my scale (I stopped going to weight watchers and made a decision to find a physical activity I like, for the purpose of doing something for my heart, not my weight. I bought a hula hoop and I’ve been hula hooping every day for over a month. I love it. I’m pretty sure it’s good for me and I’m not getting on a scale to make me feel bad about not losing weight); finishing books I don’t love (I used to finish books because I hated the idea I had given up on something. But I don’t have enough time in my day to read books that don’t make me happy); Mommy guilt (I refuse to feel guilty about my mommy choices ever again)
I am frequently judged HARD for my love of white bread. And I just as frequently think “hate on, haters” as I eat my delicious peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich on white Wonderbread.
Ugh, with you on the being over politics and stupid fake memes on FB. I really am over Facebook, but I keep it to keep family somewhat separate from my online world.
I’m over taxes, tax prep software commercials, Rihanna, back pain and laundry.
Oh, and my autofill not working.
Ditto on the K-cups! I loooove mine and I don’t mind the taste at all. I do have a reusable ecobrew cup thing, so I’ll let you know how that turns out — not that you asked.
UGH I agree about the facebook political feeds. Especially those from the other side
Haha. I’m also over people chronically oversharing on facebook, to a disturbing degree. I don’t need or want to read about your horrible headache, bad day, or baby-daddy problems. It’s probably time for me to do another de-friending, come to think of it!
We have a Jura Capresso AND a Keurig. My husband prefers freshly ground beans and pressure brewed coffee ala professional barista style. I like flavored coffee and the Keurig is perfect (You can not use flavored beans in the Jura because of the oils, apparently it can damage the process). I have zero complaints about K-Cups…they rock!
