I'm just a normal girl crazy in love with my Husband George, love to travel and eat... and usually fail at losing and keeping weight off... We never wanted kids of our own but we adore our nieces and nephews. We are also huge movie buffs who enjoy going to advanced screenings to see most movies before they're released. My life is fun.... Full of family and friends and a while lot of laughs.

I can't stand it when.....
I'm at the point where I can't stand it when.... 1)People tell what I shouldn't eat... Worry about your own diet, Dimwit! 2)Women tell me "I want to lose weight the Right way" or "I want to lose weight the Natural way"... Go ahead and more will power to you! 3)People tell me how to lose weight... Having surgery doesn't mean I don't know how to lose weight, I'm an expert at losing weight... It's keeping it off that's been my main problem... 4)When Folks say "How much have you lost so far?"... Just say you look great and move on... My actual weight or loss... That is my business and whoever I chose to share it with... When did it become ok to ask a girl about her weight? 5)Anyone saying that having WLS is taking the easy way out.... You try clinging to the toilet after eating a piece of chicken breast.... and then tell me that it's the easy way. 6)People drive like they're the only one on the road.... I would like to continue living, Jeff Gordon. 7)People say "to make a long story short"... It's too friggin' late, I don't know how much longer I can fake interest in you cat's daily escapades. It's simple, Embellish and exaggerate... Stories are much better when you do. 8)My i Phone corrects my spelling into a completely different word... like when my husband texts Dex (a guy from work) and called him Sex. i would rather misspell things than proposition people without knowing it. 9)Know-it-alls.... Where did they all come from? Is it just me or are they multiplying? Learning is part of the thrill of life...If you know-it-all already, Is life really worth living? 10)People who don't clean up after their dogs... In what world do you live in when you think even your Dog's shit don't stink? I mean, I can only hope you walk in Dog crap... and curse someone else out for not cleaning it up, hypocrite! 11)Tourists... I prefer travelers because they enjoy the journey and they interact with others, their vacation is really about the whole experience, but tourists, truly believe that the world revolves around them and their family/group... they drive across several lanes of traffic like everyone should lost life and limb so they don't miss the parade. Actually, since I live in one of the top tourist destinations in the world, this really could be a whole blog post... I am a traveler myself, I even like getting lost and finding my way... because my best memories of my travels are in the people I've met... but the parade and fireworks are great too. 12)People who shhhhh! in the movie theater, there's no question that people talk during the movie and it can be annoying, and no one should be answering their phone inside the theater but if I miss a line and learn over to my husband and whisper in his ear, some fool 2 rows away always has to shhhh! but a bunch of teenagers laughing and planning their weekend during a film gets no shhhh! Are you kidding me? It is a social event not church. 13)What's with the heat this summer? It's like someone left the oven door open everywhere... I have to go to DisneyWorld again this week with family when they come and there's a veil of disgust over the Happiest Place on Earth when It seems like the Hottest Place on Earth... People have forgotten that there are 7 Dwarves... and just stick with Grumpy and I seem like I am stuck on Bashful since I hate to leave the air-conditioned house. 14)When I ramble on and on and on in my blog post and can feel the readers dropping out one by one... but all's well that ends well.... or should I say All's well that Ends.

LOVE this list! I am in total agreement with just about every single one of these, particularly the ones regarding know-it-alls and those ignorant to WLS.
ReplyDelete<3 you!!
Love your post! I agree with so many of them, that there's no need for me to write a post of my own -- you said it for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on the dog shit one. How would they like it if I went and took a crap in their yard and didn't clean it up. Your dog is your responsibility. errrrrrr
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh but I really hope you feel better after all that ;-) I'm a traveller too and hate the tourists, especially when I have to stand in line with them. And don't get me started on my close friend who thinks because she lost 25 pounds when she was in her twenties (she weight about 110 pounds now and is 56) that she knows exactly how to lose weight. Geesh, I didn't know I was stupid.
ReplyDeleteNow you have me ranting. But I'll come to Orlando in the winter when it's cooler. If it makes you feel any better we have been having 90 degree weather for the last few weeks and the humidity is horrendous. And I live in friggin Canada (and my igloo is melting-ok that's a lie).
And one last thing-maybe your hubby did type "sex" and it was on his mind. Too funny.
That is one of the prime reasons I didn't tell anyone about my band...I couldn't stand it becoming public property and people thinking they could ask me about how much I weigh and how much I've lost so far...also, if I have a bit of a stall i don't want people judging me, that I have a band and I STILL can't loose weight! uuuggghh.
ReplyDeleteAmen! That you for putting all this out there. I almost feel like I got this off of my own chest by reading!! Hope you feel better now too!
ReplyDeletehahaha it's like you just pulled this whole speech out of my head!!
ReplyDeleteeverything from the ignorant tourists to the sshhing in the cinemas!
unfortunately i can't complain about the heat as it is bloody freezing down under!
thanks for the laugh!
All so true.
ReplyDeleteOh I so agreeeee.....this would have been great for I Wish Wednesday! Feels good to get it out huh?
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I nearly snorted Crystal Light through my nose at the part about people's cats' daily escapades. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAhahah this was awesome and i didnt drop out... Maria you rock! The only reason i would have dropped out is because all the blue and black makes my eyes go WOWZERs and i loose the bullet points because i have a short attention span but i read it all and loved it :D
ReplyDeleteAMEN SISTER!!
ReplyDeleteGrr, these things would drive me nuts too!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at the auto-correct of Dex's name. I hate when phones do that!
lol! nice list :-)
ReplyDeleteYou got everything right!I love it!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so very much for your comment on my blog of encouragement.
Have a pretty day!!!

This is an awesome post! This really stood out: "I am a traveler myself, I even like getting lost and finding my way..." When Scott (my husband) and I travel, we don't like to plan too much. Some of our best vacations have been a series of what we call "happy accidents" - ending up at a bluegrass jam in a park in North Carolina, finding ourselves at Valley of Fire at sunset instead of making our dinner reservations on time in Las Vegas, our first date lasting 3 days and involving a shuttle launch, roller coasters, and EPCOT. Yeah. Spontaneity rocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat post...got a few smiles out of that one....also I am a traveller (not a tourist!) too...discovering th world, people and culture is all part of the fun...getting lost is usually the best thing....
ReplyDeleteLOL. Great post. A resounding AMEN! to everything you wrote. (I hope that I am not a tourist.)
ReplyDeleteI hate it too when people say that. I saw what my dad went through after his surgery, the foods he had to give up and how strict it was - he didn't get his little treats like I do, and in my opinion it's so much harder than losing weight the "natural" way or whatever it is!
