5. Fun GTKY: What is your pet peeve or pet peeves?
Um, I have quite a number...but to be fair, I'll keep it to the two that have been bugging me the most lately.
1. Talking heads on tv. They are either so far left or so far right that they are ridiculous, and I can't believe that they get PAID to "analyze" things like statements taken out of context, or facial expressions, or whatever lame political thing they're talking about. Thank goodness I don't actually have television and only see this stuff at other people's houses!
2. I'm a public servant tasked with ensuring that development, if it happens, is as environmentally and socioeconomically sound as possible. Lately, I haven't been able to stand people who are against EVERYTHING, no matter what. Gah!
Sorry...tablet makes this difficult, but here goes.
I am 8 weeks 5 days, feeling like puking day in and day out. I'm going to eat whatever doesn't make me puke to be healthy this week. The exciting thing for this week is we're taking our family/announcement pix tomorrow so by tomorrow night, it'll be out and I can't wait! My pet peeves are people who use Dr. Google and then believe the crap they read. Ugh...

4. Anything exciting happening this week? (Doesn't have to be baby related!) I have an ultrasound tomorrow! I'm super duper excited!!!
5. Fun GTKY: What is your pet peeve or pet peeves? Misspelled words. And, I really don't understand why it is so hard to type/write "you," "are," etc. in any form of written communication.

5. Fun GTKY: What is your pet peeve or pet peeves? I really can't stand excuses. They recently had to switch my assistant with another because I couldn't handle that she couldn't own up to anything.

I don't even care if things aren't always right - just don't give me meaningless excuses!!!
