First world problems.

First and foremost:


1. Comment HERE to be entered to win a sampler pack of Artisana nut butters.  A life with out a variety of free organic nut butters is a first world problem that just should NOT BE.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


2.  Gas prices.  I got in a fight with Matt last night because i ended up adding an extra 40 miles to my already 40 mile commute, and was pissed about the cost of gas.  His argument is that $4.00 gas is nothing to complain about, only when the gas prices reach $4.50 can we complain.  WHAT?

3. Rather than figure out a possible alternative, like carpooling with coworkers, or trying to figure out a way to take the train, i am just going to use all my energies to bitch about gas prices.

4.  Kelsey, Keren and I went to the chicks night run last night, and then refueled with margaritas.  However, they totally skimped us on the salt rim.  As distance runners, we need extra salt on the rims of our margaritas, not less.  NOT LESS!

5.  Our internet went out for about 10 minutes last night, and i seriously flipped out because i couldn't log my miles into daily mile.  I seriously freaked out.  It's like if i don't log them in 30 minutes, they didn't happen, and then i would have to do them all over again.

6.  My tom's came last night, but i was too late.  TOO LATE!!!


FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


7.  Because i have a job i have to actually go to work.  And work.  and it prevents me from spending 8 hours a day watching this baby polar bear web cam, and that is just not fair.

8.  Parking.
Parking.
Parking.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

9. Apparently there was a power outage for parts of the north side last night.  My coworker was telling me that his neighbor was unable to get the car out of the garage as a result.  Luckily, they had a second car that they keep parked on the street for such emergencies.

10.  The good pillow.  I have an extra nice pillow for myself, but Matt keeps stealing it at night.  He gets all close to me like we are snuggling, and then slowly moves away, taking the pillow with him.  This must stop.  The pillow is MINE!
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS


11.  Everyone is raving about how Paula Deen has slimmed down.  She still professes her love for butter and hatred for anything reasonable.  I personally don't think she looks all that slim, and all that butter has gone straight to her face, because she is looking old and haggard lately.  Stop thinking you're so great Paula Deen...
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS

Thats all for now, folks!

  2. What is this world coming to when they can't afford to put enough salt on the rim of a margarita glass! It's like when places are stingy about the cream and sugar for your coffee. First World Problems for sure!
