834. Finding that first gray hair

So every morning before departing to work you brush your teeth, you wash your face, you check yourself over lean in for a closer look then there it is…how can it be?  A gray hair, but I’m only 27?  Nooo you have to be kidding me, you try…

* Closing the mini blind yeah it’s the morning sun…no still white looking

* It”s dust I’ll brush it off, nope still there…

* It’s too many light on in the bathroom, go in the dim lit bedroom and look in the vanity mirror, yeah it’s definitely gray…

Grr no tweezers – oh well.

Now how awfully shady is that?!

835. When someone leaves a few seconds left on the microwave

You know you’re waiting to heat up your sandwich and there it is that 14 / 10/ 2 seconds left sitting there staring at you in the eyes.  How do numbers stare at you?!  They do, trust they do.  That evil green matrix style numbers eating at your soul when they lay there on the microwave display screen because SOMEONE forgot to clear the screen back to “0″.  Just stop doing it!

How awfully 14 annoying is that?!

836. The place in your back that you can’t reach that itches the most

No matter how hard you try it never seems to fail that it itches more than anything. You mentally psyche yourself thinking that the itching has stopped but no of course it returns some 5 minutes later with vengeance.  A simple reach to the back over the shoulder nor around the side, if you don’t have a back scratcher then you are doomed to sit it out and go a la cat method and rub against the foot of the couch hoping it will ease the pain away.

How AWFULly itchy is that?!

836. Missing the new movie trailers

I’ve always enjoyed going to the theater and watching the previews for upcoming movie releases.  It’s just bad when you walk into the theater and you hear people cheering for a new movie or a friend has told you about a trailer you missed because you went to go get popcorn at the concessions stand.  Then you have to hear about the trailer after everyone has finished watching the movie or from your co-workers the very next day.  Nevermind looking for it online because it isn’t available yet.

How awful is it to miss a thing like that? Coming to a theater near you!

837. Catching a person in line with more than 12 items in the express lane

You know you are ready to get a jug of milk, bread, and eggs, when grandma over here decides she’s going to buy everything in aisle 4 and try to curiously walk in the express lane.  Now she’s what 80?!  I just have 2 items, can’t she let me go ahead I saw her looking back and smiling.  She’ll probably lay every item down slowly and slam down the divider.  She knows way better than to be in that line I bet she was there when they had the grand opening of the store, but why on Earth is she in this line?  She can’t play the oops I didn’t know card, I just want my cookies and milk and ..oh look they have a new Orbitz gum flavor!!

How awfully more than 12 items cart stuffed is that?!

838. Going in the grovery store to buy one thing, except…

You need just milk, bread, and yarn…have a craft project that I have to finish, give me credit here!  But that is until when you go you end up buying half of the left side of the store! How awfully unnecessary are 89% of the things in your cart are there?

839: Red Marks Left on Your Face by Glasses

Hopefully it won't hurt this bad!

Well although these may come as complications it’s even harder when you readjust the frame to hold at a better grip to your face.  Then you’re off doing al your day’s chores, events, and tasks and then you come home throw down your keys and plop on the couch and take your glasses off.  The searing pain from the glasses weigh in on your face and you hold the spot by the bridge of your nose.  By pinching, we’re enforcing the impressions left by the glasses.  Walking into the bathroom we stand there to wash our face and see the marks left behind as they stare back at you, yup those marks left by the glasses.  Hello, look at me!

Awful!

840. Burnt mini bags of popcorn

Just when you think you got the perfect time down right with the regular bags come the newfound mini bags!  Throw them suckers in the microwave one second too long and it’ll just happen to pilfer out a cinging scent, yup – just tared and smudged all over – that black smoldering taste of grit! 

Awful!

841. Taking down and packing away holiday decorations

Finally, the new year has settled in and the hype of the winter holidays are over.  We are finishing off the first week into the new year and the glimmer and excitement of Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukah, New year’s, & Three King’s Day are all over…so as most would tend to put away their holiday decor either the day after Christmas or New Year’s, I wait till after Jan. 6th.  In part because it’s the lasting touch of the new year’s light and Three King’s Day.  What holiday is that?! – take a look here We Wise Merry Men. 

However, the distressing part comes when you have to take down the tree and pack away all the decor; grab the boxes and start taking it all down!  Finding extra spaces for the newly accumulated ornaments, the new linen, and also having to take down the lights off the roof, trees, and off the mantle.  It can be quite a laborious task so go ahead and take your time this weekend and get to packing!

Awful!

842. Making Up Snow Days at School

Well as we all enjoy a great day of snow, romping and playing around and not having to go back to school…the reality is you’ll have to make it up sometime later in the school year.  We found out today that they’re changing the Early School Release Day to a different day (a previously scheduled day off) and now making it a half day and the previous half day now a full day of school.  Phew!  Technical huh?  The high schoolers fairing off a bit more crazier seeing as they have almost a week full of half days and they are making it up almost the next few days at the end of this month.

So although it is exciting to see that the weatherman predicts several inches of snow, it isn’t exciting knowing you’ll have to make it up later on and at some time that’s the most inconvenient for you.  Oh well, not much we can do there about that since it’s more of a school board decision.

Awful!
