I don't like that new car interiors only come in black/gray or brown/beige these days. I miss different color interiors, like red, blue and even green.

Restaurant menus often have too many choices.

My amazon package didn't arrive yesterday even though the tracking said it would. Now I'll have to put off the project planned for today since I don't have my alginate.

I'm annoyed that I don't know what "alginate" is. Now I'm going to have to look it up because it's going to drive me crazy if I don't. I might have to use it in a sentence tonight and I want to be prepared.


Edited: Nope, won't be discussing it at dinner tonight. False alarm.

I experience social anxiety from posting words people have to look up.

There's a mileage sign on the side of I-95 northbound between Washington and Baltimore, but oftentimes I'll be in a lane other than the right one, and a truck will block my view of the sign. This is especially an issue at this particular location, because there's a rest area right before the sign, and the parked trucks sometimes spill over from there and park right in front of the sign.

OK, sure, I live around here, and I already know what the sign says, and I don't need to know again. But still, it's the principle of the thing: I want to read the sign, and I can't. Would it really kill the state to mount it on an overhead pole?

Here's the sign, blessedly un-blocked:

And here's a similar sign on the southbound side of this very same highway. So it's not like they don't know how to put 'em up on an overhead pole:

I went to Home Goods today and bought a really big basket. It's humongous. I'm gonna put ALL my eggs into this one basket. I don't care what they say. I'm doin' it. However, I bought it to put under a coffee table so I could store books and magazines... and it's too large. Just doesn't fit. And I'm usually pretty good at gauging that kind of stuff. I blame my misjudgment on the fact that I had my eyes tested just minutes before the purchase and I was off my game.
It's a BIG basket. You could fit a dozen Great Dane puppies in that sucker. Ooh, I should get a dozen Great Dane puppies.

I told my husband last night, "When we get our dogs..." and he said, "Wait, what? DOGS? Plural? And, also, what? Dogs?! Who's getting dogs? What's happening?" I told him, "Dog food is on sale at the grocery store, so I thought I should get some dogs."

I love these softball issues - I could hit'em outta the park all day!

You have two rather obvious solutions.

1. If you tend to be on the lazy side, the answer is, find a new coffee table to fit your basket. Your husband will be pleased.

2. The BEST answer is, cut a hole in your floor large enough to fit the basket. Your husband will be MORE pleased.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
