Jolly Rancher Jelly BeansAll 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?

First of all, running the score board sounds really fun. Call me crazy.
What’s ruining my life? The fact that I can’t go anywhere without kleenex in my pocket. I might as well have blue hair and be wearing culottes.

The children’s museum just isn’t worth the price, IMO.

ruining my life right now?
My oil-slick of a forehead. (Why the sudden oiliness? Why?!?!)
Listening to my co-worker rip her child a new one.
The lack of new Office episodes.
Making my day right now?
The thought of Nicky’s frequent trips to the “zoo!” I love it.

I totally hate that the Children’s Museum is so freakin’ much money! Because that place is awesome, but dang… No way I’m paying over $40 for us all to go. We’ll take Zach to the park for free.
School is ruining my life. (Actually it’s bettering my life… That’s kind of an oxymoron.) I’m SUPER happy that all next week is Spring Break. Heck freakin’ yes.

Daylight savings time is ruining my life right now. Bedtimes suck because no one is tired yet. Mornings are a nightmare because no one wants to wake up.

I, like you, am being run by my vicious head cold! I don’t know what form of mutant strain took up residence in my head, but I’m ready with my eviction papers already! ENOUGH!!!
$9.50?! Pfft! I take my kids to Safeway to look at the lobster and salmon corpses. They love it.

Hey, I don’t have a DVR either, and I’m a total Lost addict these days as well.
Also, I played (and won) Settlers tonight - I’d totally come play with you!
And you’re the only other person I’ve heard complain about the limit at the library. Because I HATE only being able to get 15 books at a time. It makes me feel trapped and itchy.

The weather is beautiful, but the playground at school is still covered in a thick layer of ice. We haven’t been on the playground since December! Forget the kids….I really need to get outside!

p.s. if all goes wrong brit will be my constant..

LOST is also ruining my life. I am in love with MOST of the male characters. They are making my husband look boring while he slaves over a hot stove cooking my dinner. WHY ISN’T HE OUT FIGHTING THE OTHERS AND GETTING US OFF THIS ISLAND!
Oh… yeah…. it’s JUST A SHOW. : (

Petsmart to look at dead fish?! BAH!
