Curses on leaf blowers 1 week ago

Leaf blowers are for lazy arses. They’re such a nuisance…so very loud, ruining the peace in our neighbourhood, especially on a weekend morning. Bless those who own a rake and know how to use it.

Today I am grateful for.... 1 week ago

-not having to cook when I truly don’t feel like it because G doesn’t mind doing it
-not having to cook alone because G usually cooks with me, unless he’s tied up with something he can’t put aside
-not having to cook because there are such lovely things as restaurants
-not having to cook because I don’t have kids to worry about feeding
-not having to cook because there is a bowl and cereal in my cupboard

Arrrggggghhhhhh! 4 weeks ago

Today at a stop light the guy in front of me opened his car door and dumped the contents of his ashtray on the road….cigarette butts in a big disgusting heap! I couldn’t believe it! Was he never taught not to litter? If the light wasn’t turning green so soon, I would’ve gotten out of my car and gone up to his car window and told him off. However, I imagined his punishment, and it made me feel much better. I would sew him a jacket made entirely of cigarette butts, that he would have to wear (with nothing underneath) on a rainy day, on a busy intersection, holding a sign saying, “I AM AN IDIOT.” And, as it rained all day, the cigarette jacket would get heavy with water and stinky and soggy, and gradually fall off of him, leaving him stark naked. Then, he’d have to bend over in full view of everyone driving by, and start picking up the cigarette butts, one by one and putting them in a little bag with a Hello Kitty on it. I wish I was Queen for a day, for this I would decree. :)
