• Moody Biznitch

  Bedtime: 3:30 a.m.
  Wake-up Call: 10:00 a.m.
  
  Individual piles of cat vomit spread throughout two rooms in that time period: 14.
  
  Pukemeister K needs to go see the vet. Unfortunately, the vet costs an arm and a leg. Budget, meet Necessity. Everyone, gather 'round and watch as hilarity ensues!
  
  "Can I still make a payment plan?"
  
  Other irritations: Obama's critics.
  
  Oh, good lawd, people. What the heck can the man really do in 100 days? If he were Bush, he could violate the Constitution, begin a war, violate the Geneva Convention, break several domestic laws, and sneak some justification in as an aside. I admit that Obama's made mistakes. He's mishandling the Big Three bailout, in my estimation. Basically, by putting a time limit on Chrysler's negotiations, he handed Fiat one hell of a sweet deal. He also ordered Wagoner out, but failed to hold executives in the banking industry accountable. Compare the bailout numbers and tell me where the greater accountability lies. He's not teh debbil, though. He's not shredding the Constitution and using it for a litter box liner. (Wise man that he is, he doesn't even have a cat.) He's a constitutional lawyer, for crying out loud.
  
  I know, I know. Hot button issues. Cat puke and politics.
  
  Heck, let's just make this a list of what irritates me. That's the mood I'm in.
  
  

  1. Cat puke
  2. Obama's most vocal critics
  3. Misleading media coverage of swine flu
  4. Budgets and, more generally, money
  5. HEALTH CARE IN THE UNITED STATES
  6. My dad's continued struggle with an enemy that cannot be seen by the naked eye
  7. The feminist theory class that still hangs over my head
  8. Having topics to discuss that nobody wants to discuss
  9. The prohibitive cost of new floorcoverings
  10. Detroit's continued decline
  11. Not having anyone to go bowling with
  12. Dibeetus (Misspelled on purpose)
      
  13. The Driver's Ed debate with the 15 year old
  14. My mother's brain chemistry
  15. Holidays endorsed by Hallmark
  16. The exorbitant cost of lawn maintenance and lawnmower repair
  17. Freakin' weeds in beds furiously overpopulated by river rocks
      
  18. Previous homeowners who make poor landscaping choices
  19. Slow, timed regeneration on meaningless games
  20. LONG install processes
  21. The cost versus benefit of my Red Bull addiction
  22. My quasi-functioning dryer that dries clothes... the second time
  23. Mandatory binding arbitration
  24. The complete subversion of the Rule of Law
  25. Being irritated

  
  Yeh. That's enough of that. It's time to shower, dress, consider actually styling my hair rather than tucking it behind my ears, find some food, and do some shopping and errands.
  
  I'm picking up a cake today that I ordered for a friend and her husband. Tomorrow's their first wedding anniversary. The cake topper ended up being eaten because they didn't know how to adequately store it and, let's face it, they just wanted to eat the damned thing, so I attempted to order them a cake that was almost the same as their topper. It's round, not square. (A square six inch cake would have cost me another $20. Uh... WHY? Corners are harder to frost or something?) Now, I know that my friend thinks this is an incredibly sweet gesture, but I fully anticipate her husband saying, in a very Eeyore-esque way, "Oh. It's round instead of square. I guess that's okay." It will make me want to throttle him. Violently. I'm not entirely sure I am going to be able to resist that urge.
  
  I need mood stabilizers or something.
  
  

  How're YOU doin'?
