Thirteen Things That Make Me Scratch My Head
It’s been a strange week.
- Kraft Macaroni & Cheese boxes - that “push in and pull back to open” directive never seems to work the way it is intended.
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight - Why on Earth are they letting their 7-year old daughter get her ears pierced, when she still can’t manage to get her teeth brushed? Gross!
- The writer of the op/ed letter, “Dallas minors raising babies” in the Dallas Morning News. Seriously, if you actually think these situations aren’t apples and…forget oranges, let’s try apples and staplers, then your head isn’t screwed on straight. Right. It’s because those kids are white. Sheesh. This level of ignorance frightens me.
- The fact that Daisy seems to love going for a walk…for about ten minutes. Then she decides the sky is falling and does everything within her power (and resistance of her leash) to get back home. Then once we’re back inside, she’s dying to go out again.
- How Kristy Lee Cook managed to stick around on American Idol until last night.
- Why I can’t play Mesmo’s TV Squares on my PC. Doesn’t work in Firefox, doesn’t work in IE.
- The price of used textbooks. It was nuts nearly twenty years ago, and it still is today. Thank God for Half.com.
- Why my neighbors across the street haven’t cleaned up the dead bird on the sidewalk in front of their house. I see them walk past it at least half a dozen times a day.
- Bloggers who pander to their audiences, and try to sound way cooler than they really are. Why not just be yourself?
- How some of the folks in my MBA program are managing to pass their classes. Please tell me I won’t have to compete with these people for jobs.
- Why one of the neighborhood kids can’t get up five minutes earlier. I’ve watched him literally run for the bus every day this week. He just passed my house.
- Why when I single-click a .csv file on my Mac, 50% of the time it lets me change the file name (which is what I want to do), and the other 50% of the time it launches Excel. That isn’t what I want to do.
- Why I can’t manage to blog more during school. Maybe I need to schedule it in…like a root canal.

I just rip the top off the Mac and Cheese box. It’s just easier.
Happy TT.

Ecstatic to see Kristy Lee finally go ~ I think it will be a battle of the David’s. I’m with the rocker.
Happy TT!
