Snarky Wed

Everyone has a need to just get out something not so nice-and those who claim to not are lying. It can be a huge vent, or just something small that annoys you. It can be a huge life event, or some topic that you recently discussed with a friend that warrants further discussion. It helps me keep the rest of my week in check, knowing I have a day to vent. So I bring you Snarky Wed.

Small Snark-kind of a carry of over from last week's Random Tuesday blog when I mentioned FB needed a 'baby mama/daddy' relationship category. In regard to FB...I think joint accounts are weird. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband and share tons of stuff with him. However, I don't think my running buddies and high school friends are overly interested in him. And the same is true of his high school friends and extended family(if they were, they'd all have friended me too). So I roll my eyes when I see an account that is Jill John Smith, or JillnJohn Smith. Despite all the rumors and spam updates, FB does not charge, they're FREE. Get your own damn account.

Main snark for the day is a topic that was recently brought up on a message board that I frequent. To sum it up, life is what happens when you're making plans. People always talk about oh I want to do this, I want to do that, ooohh you did that, how fun, etc. If you want to do something, then go do it. Don't just read about it, don't watch a show about, go do it.

I frequently have people comment on my running(though admittedly, there aren't a lot of 'oh I wish I could run a marathon', it's more 'you crazy bitch, I don't even want to drive 26.2 miles' lol). But it's still a valid comparison. I started running, I wanted to run races. I lived 2 hours from Seattle which is where the majority of the races were(and have gone as far as 5-6 hrs away, and when I win the lottery will spend time traveling to run even more of them lol). Now, even not being a city girl(my big ass Chevy Silverado is not city friendly), I still went and did it. I didn't wait for someone else to want to do it with me.

I also get compliments on my quilts. Guess what, I didn't even own a sewing machine 3 years ago when I signed up for the class. And since then, I've made 44 quilts and wall hangings. Not saying everyone will fall in love with it the way I did or bust out that many quilts, but you won't know until you try.

Musicals....I like them. I've gone to see them with friends, with the man, by myself. So I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone oh says 'ooohhh I'd love to see Wicked' after I related going and how much I liked it...so go see it!!

I also go to the movies and dinner by myself...I can have dessert first, or just dessert, and I don't have to share my popcorn and candy. What's the downside??

So what do you want to do, and when are you actually going to go do it??
