That's The Stuff I Don't Like

Nothing Says I Don't Like It Like Steven Colbert With His Head On His Desk

Hey everybody. I decided to do another tag blog for you. If you are a YouTube addict like me then you have seen these video tags over the 'net for a few weeks or so. Since I don't have a decent enough camera or editing equipment to do the video, I decided that I would blog about it instead. So the gist is to just talk about things you don't like or may get on your nerves, so let's do it to it.

1. People who eat or drink something and leave a corner or a drop in the fridge like they are doing you a favor. I hate this. In fact I have family members (no names) who have or still do this. There have been times when I have had my mouth set ready to eat or drink something, only to find the empty or near empty container still in the fridge. Dammit if you are going to eat or drink that much you might as well finish it off. I'll be less pissed if you do.

2. Facebook/Twitter tough guys. What this mean is if you are bad enough to say something on Facebook/Twitter then you should be able to back it up in person. Not sub tweeting or using vague status messages to say what is on your mind. Dammit put it out there if it is serious enough to warrant venting on social media. And while we are at it...

3. People who put all their business on social media and then get mad when someone calls them out for it. I have a social media friend (we know each other in real life as well) who is always posting what she's doing, where she's going, what she's wearing/eating/drinking. However when someone brings up where the money for all this is coming from or here her child is, she's ready to start fighting. The way I see it, don't put all your business in the streets and then you won't have "haters" questioning you. Just sayin'.

4. People who get in my personal space. You want a one way ticket to a butt kicking? Just get in my personal space and don't get out of it. Seriously. Try it.

5. People who are just plain disrespectful to the President of the United States. I mean seriously. Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, hell the entire GOP/Tea Party. Calm your nerves. Because your attitudes are trickling down to some of my Republican friends and they are getting out of pocket and some of their personal issues are issues that could be solved if they would only open their eyes and stop listening to Fox News for five minutes.

6. My check engine light in my car. It know what it is doing and it's getting on my nerves.

7. People who stare at me when Itty is throwing a tantrum. Okay I get it. Her crying is irritating and makes you want to run out the room, store, ect. screaming. However, what to do you want from me. I can either ignore it until I get her somewhere where I can dish out discipline or dish it out in front of you and have you get the law involved and then I have to jump on you. Surely you must have children who drive you nuts as well.

Okay last one because I'm starting to run out of things:

8. People who reach onto my plate. Okay we're eating and you see something on my plate that you like. Please don't just help yourself. Ask me and I will fix you a sample for you to try. Reach on my plate without clearance and you might draw back a nub. Or a fork mark on your hand. Just sayin'.

Well peeps there are the things I don't like. I hope this was fun for you as it was for me. Who knows I may end up recording this as well as a video response or something. We'll see. Until next time loves.

Just When I Was About To Count Something Out...

Hey everybody out there in the blogosphere! It's me once again writing to you to let you know what has been going on as of late. The most important thing right now is that I GOT A JOB!!!!! Finally and it is not selling perfume and cologne in a parking lot praying that I get enough money to at least pay the coworker who is using their car and their gas. I am back in with the state as a correctional officer. It's funny how things come full circle sometimes. I once said that I would never ever work in corrections again only to realize that it is truly what I was meant to do. It is something that I see myself doing until either I'm too old or dead to do the job any more. That's how much I enjoyed my work when I was a CO four years ago. 

Secondly, now that my job hunt is over, my house hunting can begin. I have resolved that I am done with apartments. I grew up in them and I realized that now that I am a married career woman with two kids, I'm ready for a house. I have been looking at renting a house for now with an option to buy. I kind of want to work out my financials and pay off some of my student loans before I look at becoming a home owner. Also since my job is not in Raleigh, we are considering moving closer to my job but within a reasonable distance for Lovey to continue to go to his job. As soon as I find my new home and get settled, I will definitely be blogging about it.

Thirdly, I created a hair and beauty blog, so that I can reach out to more blog lovers like myself. It is titled "Same Hair Different Head" even though I might end up changing it later. So if you want to know more about my crazy hair journey then be sure to mosey on over to Same Hair Different Head and check it out. I am also working on my YT channel which is 'hotrdumommy'. It's still a little bare bones right now but I am working on it as soon as I can find the time and a better camera.

Finally, I want to say something about the upcoming election. I'm just burned out from everything but maybe it is because I already know who I am voting for and I'm just waiting for everything to be over so everything can get back to some sort of normal. I don't know. I'm starting to think my passion for everything political is starting to wane a little bit.

Well that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to check my blog out and tell a friend about me. If you want me to check your blog out, leave a link in the comments section and I will be sure to get back to you on it. Until next time!!
