I’ve read some other blogs where they celebrate the 100th post with a list of 100 things about themselves.
I’ve decided to make our 100th post a big ‘ole gripe and complain post and list 100 things that bug me. I’m not sure why I’m inspired to vocalize my pet peeves, but I’m pretty sure it has to do with lack of food. I started Weight Watchers yesterday to help lose the last 30lbs of the 70lbs I gained with my daughter.
Anyway, on with the list (in no particular order except as they popped into my head).
The things that bug me:
