Tantrums & Rants

Ok if I was a god I’d strike down on every person in America who has been voting for Sanjaya.  Every year there’s someone who irritates me that for the life of me I can’t explain why he or she is getting votes.  This year it’s him. The fact that the American voting public are keeping this little bitch on the …

OOOOHMyLord! I just got home from work and I have to share this with the world.   I went to work today trying to be positive and not let myself get too wound up.   After two hours both myself and my friend Penny were pulling our hair out due to the conflicting directions we were getting from different team leaders.   Between …

I’m falling out of love with my job.  Well I was never really in love with it to be honest, but I’m finding it harder to make myself go and the days seem longer and more dreadful than they used to.   It’s the same problem as the first time I worked there.   I love working, I love having a life, …

This week’s Foad goes out to the British. Yes, all of them. With my first month back to work almost complete, I have spoken to … or rather been hung up on or told off by more British people than I care to mention.   In the most polite way possible, of course… they ARE British :P Seriously though, and this …

I was reading An American in Amsterdam this morning and saw a video posted that left me slackjawed. Fox News completely trashes the Netherlands, I was shocked.   Many of the things they mention in the report are things I love about this country and I found myself rolling my eyes and ‘pfft’-ing to my husband at the way the report was …

This morning I woke up with a little friend… a cold sore.  GROSS, I have herpes!!  Herpes simplex is commonly referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. It is a viral infection of the skin that may occur once or return again and again. This is because when the virus is cleared from the skin by the immune system …

It’s time for Foad Thursday once again. It’s been a few weeks since I took part and I just remembered that there was something I meant to bitch and moan about but was saving for a Thursday. Spitters.  I don’t like them and I’ll never understand them. I don’t remember a time I’ve ever hawked up a slimy one and …

Today I had an appointment with my dietician.  It has been a few weeks since I’ve seen her and I was dreading the weigh in because I knew I hadn’t lost as much as I could have during that time.  I made my usual trek to the hospital and when I rounded the corner to the dietician’s waiting room it …

This week I’m FOADing my husband and his World of Warcraft addiction.   I am quickly reaching the end of my rope with it and I feel like a total hypocrite about it… but I don’t care.  I’m sick to death of his gaming addiction. Being a former gamer myself it’s hard not to feel like I don’t have a lot …

I so need one of these. I have a cold… AGAIN!! Two colds in less than three months… do I even have an immune system?! I blame Xander.  Last week he came home, sneezed twice and said he thought he might be coming down with something.  Then of course, was fine. This is how it always happens.  He comes home …

My husband just messaged me on MSN from work.  He said that a co-worker told him that Quebec voted yes to finally become their own country. I raised an eyebrow and went to look into it.   Here’s what was said in an article on CNN.com: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s stunning motion recognizing Quebec as a nation within Canada has …
