Annoyances of 2011

Normally, I am as happy as a lark, and calm as millpond trudging though this clear as mud path called life. However, there are a few things in life that make me hotter than hell and as mad as a hornet. The following is a collection of photos that made the list for biggest annoyances in 2011!

Really?! There are 6 other bins within a 20 second walk! 

Or, it takes less than a minute to place the full bin in its designated 

spot and get a new bin.

Seriously, Miata Guy, the hamper is just a few inches further!

Ok, so I haven't cleaned your box in a week,
but don't you think peeing on the floor is a little harsh?

Dear traffic light at a T intersection on my way to work,
do you really need to turn red when I'm the only car on the road and running late?
Sure, I could just creep through on red, but I have this
fear a cop is waiting near by with his lights off.

Oxygen tanks labeled full when they are really empty!

So I forgot to put the gate up, but did you really have to eat the chocolate cake mix?
Why not the vanilla? At least, it would have matched the carpet!

To ignite a fire within me

Almost a year ago, Miata Guy gifted me an e-reader, the Kindle. Yes, the Kindle is great for all the reasons seen on TV commercials, such as being able to store thousands of books, magazines, and newspapers, the lightness of the device, and the glare free screen. However for me, I love my Kindle for the following top three reasons.

3. I can lay in bed reading at night without bothering Miata Guy. The light attached to the hard cover protected sleeve is less bright than a nightstand light but bright enough to illuminate the entire screen. The fact the e-reader slides into the protection cover and uses the battery to power the light is pure engineering brilliance. I can also read comfortably by the campfire. No longer do I have to try to figure out how to hold my book and a flashlight/lantern at the same time. Which leads us directly into the next reason where

2. I no longer have to feel guilty returning library books to the library that smell like campfire.

1. The most important reason I enjoy reading my Kindle vs a book is that I can sit comfortably in my reading chair wearing my fleece pj pants and over sized t-shirt with The Mask lounging happily on my chest. With a book turning the pages while reaching over a 16lb purring beast on your chest proves to be more difficult than one may think. With the Kindle, with the press of my thumb the page is turned.

How secure?

I stumbled across this LINK the other day. The website lets you know how secure your password is by how long it would take a desktop pc to crack it.

My most used password could be cracked in only 169 days! Ah!

The password I've been switching to over the past few months would take a desktop PC 1 billion years to crack. That's much better.

The password DON put on our wireless Internet modem thingy...... 29 novemvigintillion years! I didn't even know such a number existed. Guess, noone will be stealing our internet anytime soon. Too bad, the passwords is a bear to type into my kindle.

Should I be scared?

According to this website HERE , my cats are trying to kill me. After taking the quiz, apparently there is an 83% chance The Mask and T.O.C. are plotting my death as we speak.  The below images provide proof behind this terrifying theory.

Preparing for combat

Studying my habits

Being more affectionate than usual

Waiting to ambush

trying to destroy my communication with the outside world

Staring contest....Do Not Look AWAY!

If you took a physic class

"If you took a physic class," is a phrase spoken from Miata Guy when an inquisitive question from myself is asked. The phrase gave birth almost a year ago when Miata Guy and I went on our first camping trip together. I purchased a compass for Miata Guy to carry on our hikes. Thrilled with his gift he asked "do you know how a compass works?" Oh course, I didn't know.  "Well, if you took a physic class....." Over the course of the next few days any questions I asked received the response of "Well, if you took a physic class...." This hasn't changed over the course of this year, which causes me to stop and think some days.

 

Today I thought, do I really want to know why all the pots and pans used from dinner and the cake are on the stove top full of water while the cakes are baking in the oven?

Well, I guess if I took a Physics class, I would know.
