Are They All Idiots? Or is it Just Mine?

My boyfriend is an idiot!  He texted me today and said that his young daughter wanted to come to my house.  I told him I wasn't feeling well.  Now, most people would pick up on this social cue and find something else to do with their daughter for the day.  Oh, but not my boyfriend, because he literally does anything his daughter wants. So, of course he showed up with his daughter in tow, and proceeded to play video games all day.  This, my friends, is not the worst of it.   At one point in the day I was napping (because again, I was not feeling well, which once again he didn't pick up on) when he came into my room, woke me up, and told me he was going to "run" to the store, leaving his daughter here for me to take care of.  Really?  Really?!

Please Don't Make Me Do This...

My sister called yesterday to invite us all to a dinner at her house, which is 50 miles away...

For those of you who know me and my family history, you understand why this is painful.

To sum it up, here are my reasons for not wanting to go.

A) It's my family 

B) It's 50 miles away

C) My mother asked me for a ride.

My sister told us to bring our own beverages.  

I am bringing  a big box of wine...  

And a straw. 

Sooo...

If you're  the HR manager, shouldn't you be setting an example by NOT wearing jeans shorts to the office in the middle of the week? Just because they're bedazzled doesn't mean they're fancy...  Just sayin'...   

Office appropriate??? 

Who knew...

So, I've found myself pondering this thought lately...
How in the Hell did I get a boyfriend? I mean I wasn't trying, that's for sure...   Not only a boyfriend, but a good, thoughtful sweet, attractive boyfriend. A boyfriend who does nice thing for me a gives me gifts...   for example:


Vodka in a skull and a retractible dog leash, he even walks the dog.   Anticipated needs?  Met!

Roses - WOW!  He sent me roses at work. Is this normal behavior? I thought shit like this only happened on the hallmark channel.

And my favorite beer...   Hey, sometimes it's the little things.


















I mean let's be honest here, I've only ever dated assholes - I know, big surprise right?
And here I find myself with a Gem of a man.  So, how did a jaded, surly, sarcastic, embittered asshole like myself end up with this Gem of a man? Good Lord, I don't know...  So I asked him (because if nothing else I'm direct) His response was this:  'Roxanne, I think you paint yourself in a darker light than what you really are'.
So he sees right through me, not only is he a Gem, he's a smart Gem who will call me on my shit.
I think I shall keep him.

They don't make a Mother's Day Card for that!

So, can't sleep tonight because I'm having seriously anxiety about having to spend time with my narcissistic mother tomorrow.  How fucked up is that?

Dear Roommate

Thanks for being a passive aggressive asshole and walking on the wet floor that I just mopped.  And of course for topping this ridiculously inconsiderate action by bringing your dog in to track muddy paw prints on the wet floor and on the just vacuumed carpet...

I would expect that you would now take some responsibility and clean up the muddy paw prints on the wet floor and carpet,  but I would be wrong. 

Instead you will leave them there to either be ground into the carpet, or left for me to take care of.

Thanks for that... 

BTW - Hiding in your room while I do all the cleaning, then immediately coming out to make a mess, just when I've finished, makes you not only a shitty roommate, but a shitty person.  Just because you pay your rent on time doesn't mean you're a good roommate, so stop telling me that you are.  Here is a question for you.  How many times have you and your boyfriend used the bathroom here in the past 6 months?   And how many times have you cleaned it?  NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA!

I get that you don't give a shit and never actually clean anything yourself, but for fuck sake, don't be a total asshole when I do!

I'm not your fucking maid!

Grammy Fail

And the nominees for album of the year are...
The Fame  - Lady Gaga
The E.N.D. - The Black Eyed Peas
I Am...  Sasha Fierce - Beyonce
Fearless - Taylor Swift
Big Whiskey and the Grugurx King - Dave Matthews Band

And the winner for Album of the Year is...
Fearless - Taylor Swift?!   Really?!  REALLY?!  Are you fucking kidding me with this?
Taylor Swift, who is not only boring, but a mediocre talent at best.

Evidently teenage girls are now in charge of the Grammy's

It has become very clear that the once coveted Grammy award no longer holds any value or prestige if a "talent" like Taylor Swift can walk away with not one, but four!
I just don't get it, is this a result of the dumbing down of America...    Such a shame for all those nominees who do have talent.
A big whoooaaaaaawwwww whoooaaawwwww  for that one.
