Wait. I have another one, based on another thread: I have the iPhone 5 but don't know how to upgrade it to iOS 7 so I feel left behind.

Go into settings, then 'software update'... It's in there. You need 3.5 o storage for it, tho... Ugh! I had to delete 200 pics and about 50 songs, lol.. And I have a 32g. Haha. GL!

I had to go into the office today instead of working from home.

I had to get dressed.

ALSO? I ate 1/2 a pizza tonight (dh and dd had the other) and now I dont have any to eat cold tomorrow.

I accidentally un-synced (is that a word?) my phone from my car and now I have to look in the car user manual to figure out how to re-sync them.

Also, I bought too much food last time I went shopping and now I can never decide what to eat.

This thread is awesome ladies. Has totally amused me while eating my green apple and trying to ignore my upset stomach and really wishing I was fast asleep

My fingernails are the prettiest strong long nails I have ever had in my life and now my aim with my fingertips on the iPhone is all thrown off. Life is hard.

I caught up on Pretty Little Liars and I'm depressed. I was enjoying the mind numbing stupid to pass the time! Maybe I should go read a book...

My husband has gotten nothing from me in 6 weeks. I feel guilty, but not much.

I woke up this morning thinking I was in my Kent apartment (which I haven't lived in for over 2 years) and cried a little because I miss being in college.

We went on a date tonight to the fair and rode the swinging ship, and my boobs felt like they were having milk let down. I brain-farted and thought I was going to have wet spots on my shirt. I haven't nursed or pumped for over a year and a half.

I got to see Mumford & Sons in concert tonight but now I'm kinda bummed I missed this post. (If that's not a FWP, I don't know what is.)

In that same vein...today, while DD was at school, my aunt took me out to the most lovely, delicious lunch...but what I really wanted to be doing was watching 5 episodes of Breaking Bad in my underwear.

Saw the same tour in Portland .. Amazing wasn't it! Love the lights such a great show!!

I want to go swimming, but don't want to shave. I keep thinking of some hairy gorilla beast and scaring the children. Then I think, maybe that would be ok. Then I think, no, I always look at all the mega hairy ladies and think its a bit gross. Then I wish I could stop thinking.

I ordered a salad ( chicken + basil+ onion+ garlic) and garlic is too intense so I have to look at every bite I take and take away the garlic pieces

Unfortunately it just won't happen. There will always be duplicate threads going on. The type A's just have to try to not be bothered by it. (I'm one too!!)

Hahahaha. I was wondering why this bothered some people so much. Now I get it. I have a few type A friends and we are so different.

Where did the term "New World Problems" come from?

And mine is.... I wish maternity leave started when you get pregnant. I have no interest in working. All I want to do is think about being pregnant. I'm addicted to it and work gets in the way. Babies on the brain is a real phenomenon for me.

Edit "First" not "New".

I am not sure where "first world problems" originated. I know that phrase has been swirling around the internet for several years at least. I've been aware of it for 3-4 years.

Because we live in first world countries and think we have problems when we bought too much food...when there are people in second and third world countries who have no food at all. The problems that we can't even comprehend.

That makes sense... I guess its like when I get my kickers in a twist over DS eating too much junk but some children have never see a chocolate bar.
