• Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans All Easter candy-This is the best season for candy, far better than Halloween. There is something about egg-shaped chocolate that is so irresistible. Hello, Cadbury Mini Eggs! Hello, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! And let’s not forget the Jelly Beans! I love you all and I want to eat you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who invented the vegetable anyway?
  • Lost- If you haven’t figured it out yet, this TV show has made a monster out of me. I’ve started to choose my friends based on whether or not they know what the Dharma Initiative is. I don’t sleep on Thursday nights because I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m a sick, sick, Jack-Loving, Hurley-Stalking woman!
  • The weather-It’s not a nice day. Dear Wind and Rain, I kind of hate you. Go away! Love, Britt.
  • Settlers of Catan- Some of our friends came over on Sunday and taught us how to play this game. I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. I must play it again. Now.
  • My sore throat- I’m sick. And despite my fervent efforts, I can’t seem to release the large, infectious booger that is implanted somewhere in my head. Kleenexes scream at my approach, “Please, lady! Don’t do this to us! We are but simple tissues. We can’t handle the challenge you lay before us!” I yell back, “Shut up, Kleenexes! Here comes a good one!”
  • Church Basketball- The next three days of my life will be consumed with hosting the Region Basketball Championship games in our area. My weekend? Gone. I’ll be running a scoreboard in a church gym instead of sitting on my butt at home like I prefer. I might even miss Lost tonight. Thank heaven for my trusty VCR (that’s right! We’re DVR-less around here. Welcome to the stone age!)
  • The post office- I never get out of there in less than an hour. Why is their customer service so bad and so slow? And why am I always stuck in line behind someone who smells like onions and in front of someone who yells at the employees for taking so long, thereby slowing down the process even more since they have to fetch their manager to calm her down? Lady, the post office is always slow. Welcome to reality, now shut your mouth so I can eavesdrop on someone else’s conversation.
  • The library- I can only have fifteen items on hold at the library at one time. I’m maxed out today, so now I feel like I’m stuck in limbo until I can check a few things out and put holds on a few more. I heart free stuff, but I don’t heart limits! Am greedy.
  • The children’s museum- I was thinking it would be fun to take Nick to the local children’s museum with some friends this week. I checked out the prices last weekend and whoa! That put and end to things right there. $9.50 for a one-year-old? That’s just ridiculous. Not happening. I’ll just keep telling him that we’re going to the “zoo,” and take him to Petsmart to look at dead fish.

Anything ruining your life lately?
