FRIDAY FLIP OFFS #7

Posted on August 6, 2010 Written by Tonya

Ah, Friday… my favorite day of the week! Time to rid myself of all of the little annoyances I have been experiencing since last Friday. In no particular order, they are:

#1 Hangovers can FLIP the hell right OFF! Oh my goodness I must be getting old, but yesterday’s hangover was a doozy! My head hurt, my body ached and I couldn’t quench my thirst to save my life. My husband and I had a little too much fun celebrating our three year anniversary on Wednesday night. NOTE TO SELF: Bars on bikes will get you every time.

#2 Okay, all you pet owners… PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS, please!!! I walk through my neighborhood almost every day of the week and it’s like avoiding landmines out there. Maneuvering around poop is hard enough but 90% of the time I also have a stroller with me. FLIP OFF!!

#3 I don’t think I’ve participated in a Friday Flip Offs without bitching around traffic, so in keeping up with that tradition… I spend a lot of time in the car and on the 5 Freeway and I don’t mind driving all that much, but I HATE sitting in traffic, especially unnecessary traffic which 9 times out of 10 involves Looky-Lous. Aggghhh… FLIP OFF! Move along people, there is nothing to see. For the love of God, just drive!

#4 Last but not least, I’m repeating myself by flipping off the ever UNpopular most detested household chore: l a u n d r y. I hate it!! Flip Off! Go Away! Scram.

Whew, I feel better. Do you? Thank you to Kludgy Mom for developing this awesomest meme. Gigi, you rock!!

Happy weekend, everyone!

The best is yet to be.

    Yes, hangovers suck. I haven't had one in awhile thankfully, but I can TOTALLY empathize with ya!

    Grrrrr to traffic. I'm soooo over people texting and doing the "I'm on speaker phone so that means hands-free" technique. Drives me CRAZY… Where are the cops when you need em?

    I considered adding traffic to my flip offs, but I didn't have too bad of a traffic week this week. MD traffic? Always sucks…but I'm going to wait for one of *those* weeks. ;o)

    Oooh, & hangovers. >.< Thankfully I don't get those often, but when I do…Ugh.

    Bars on bikes? I know I'm getting dumber by the minute but….motorcycles? Bike up bar? I…am not putting 2 and 2 together.

    Regardless, hangovers suck majorly. At least you had fun though.

    Happy Anniversary and hangover. A hangover is usually a sign of a really great time and well you're over it by now. It does suck to have a hangover when you're a mom though. Gone are the days you can lay in bed until the headache goes away and the room stops spinning. The good news is Lucas would probably share his bland baby food with you until you felt better:)

    You can flip off my laundry too if you like – its sitting here staring at me, NOT folding itself…

    I'm with KLZ, not sure about the Biker Bar or the Bar on a Bike??

    Hangovers DO deserve a flip, especially when you still have to deal with the baby/toddler/teenager the next day!

    I had a small hangover last Saturday and had to spend 6 hours at a hot amusement park. I should have flipped that off too. 🙂

    I spent many an hour on that I-5..so not fun. Flip off. One thing I am NOT looking forward to returning to!

    The older I get the harder the hangovers get to me. Hubby tells me to take an asprin (and why does that show up as misspelled?) and a FULL glass of water. It helps me 1/2 the time 🙂 Hope you are feeling better and happy late anniversary!

    I feel like everytime I get my laundry all done and put away, more is added to my dirty clothes pile..ugh and yes, hangovers are awful! I haven't had one since my birthday and I would really like to keep it that way.
