What erks you?

I know that we all have something that absolutely positively gets to you...erks you!
You know when you just can't take it anymore and you just go on a rampage and start freaking out on anyone who is within touching distance. It happens to me all of the time and I was just wondering what it is that erks you and how do you deal with it?

I usually love the Holiday's people, even if they are in a bad mood will say it or even say it back when you tell them "Happy Holiday's," "Have a Merry Christmas," "Happy New Year," "Happy Hanuka," (I think you get my drift). So when I went to the store during the 'Holiday's' I was in a good mood going into the store and then a crazy lady by the time I left!

I live in a small town and this particular store has to accommodate 8 to 10 cities/towns. So when people from another town come over to said store and you haven't seen them in a long time of course you want to chat and see how the fam is doing and so on and so forth; but when it comes to people who just want to run in and get what they need and get the heck out it doesn't work and they act like they are at their house entertaining them! They stand right in the small aisle and act like your in their way. I start to go down the aisle and one of them will see me and just continue to talk, I say 'excuse me,' and they look at me like I am an alien with one big eye and fifty arms. I say it again, 'excuse me,' they just ignore me this time like we saw the alien and we are over it. This time I just take my cart and act like they aren't there and say, 'excuse you!' Then they want to move out of the way and talk about me like I am not there. I can't stand it and it erks me! I told them why don't you go into the attached eatery, get a drink and talk to your friends? They can't seem to understand that this is a place to shop and I totally get when you see someone that you haven't seen in a long time but c'mon when I say excuse me more then once and you don't move you deserve more then a cart in your achilles!

New Year: New Resoulutions? New Disappointments?

It's a whole bright shiny not yet tarnished NEW YEAR! I am going to let you in on a little secret...I don't do resolutions! What the heck is a resolution anyway?

I think that we should try to be better people at what we do everyday and work on it everyday. I can't remember what I did yesterday let alone what my 'resolution' was for this past year{get my drift?}. I understand wanting to be a better you but what is wrong with the original you? People who do it{resolutions} and stick to it-GOOD FOR YOU!! I just know & see a lot of people who are always talking resolution this resolution that and then I see them smoking a cigarette or eating a cheeseburger and dessert. I think sometimes people are unrealistic when it comes to their resolutions. If you want to loose weight & aim for 20 pounds I don't know if your going to succeed, so try for 5 and if you do it go for 5 more, if your going to work out don't shoot for 7 days a week shoot for 3 don't try and build yourself up for a fail. 'I didn't work out 7 days this week so I guess I will just stop working out!'



With myself I have never worried about weight or working out- I will exercise and watch what I eat{that pie looked delish before I ate it!} and when I walked to the garbage can to throw away the pie tin I brought along my pedometer! I don't get caught up in the small stuff, with having cancer I learned what and what not to get all riled up about and it isn't going to be that I didn't work out or I ate a piece of pie with a billion calories! It's going to be look what me and Chucky did today, we had a blast today and I hope he remembers all of these fun times like I am going to cherish them! So when you look and reflect on your life as a whole this new bright shiny untarnished new year, remember that your family isn't going to remember if you didn't work out or enjoy the dessert but they will remember you enjoying the dessert with them laughing and being you with your family!!

From my happily imperfect family Happy New Year!!
