ready stop!

There's a little trend going on Facebook that I find incredibly obnoxious.  Sorry (but not really sorry) if you do or have done this...
Person asks a question (ie where's the best place to get a haircut?) and ends with.. "Ready, GO!"
As if we're all just chomping at the bit, scraping at the start line, begging for you to ask your question so that we can all race to be the first one to answer.

It's pretentious
It's annoying
Please stop.

No one likes to be rushed into anything, and no one likes to be told what to do, especially when it's something they would already do on their own, I think that's why I find this trend so distasteful.  I'll answer your question if I have an answer, but when I'm told to hurry up and GO, then I tend to think you're full of yourself and I'm no longer interested in helping.

Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm about to lose some friends because I just told you that you're bugging me. Either way, please stop.


Grievance aired.

no love lost

We've all read those posts from parents saying that their sweet child told mommy that she looked pretty, or she's a princess, or so cute, beautiful etc..

here's a little conversation I had with my daughter...

While coming home from the gym we ran into our mail lady who commented, Sabrina you look really good.  (thanks mail lady :) )  

When we came in the house Gracie said, "mommy, she say you look cute?"  

Mom-  Yes Gracie, she said i look cute

Gracie - (eye roll) "Eghh.."

thanks for being honest dear daughter.
