As a wrap of this year, I have decided to repost ten of my favorite blogs from this year in no particular order.
Enjoy!
Oh, So you thought I was listening?
How often do you complain? How often do you have to listen to other’s complaining?
Everywhere I turn someone has something to complain about. Sometimes it is little, such as they did not want to wake up this morning. Sometimes it is big, such as the world is out to get them.
I am so full of other peoples complaints. I was unaware that I carried around an invisible complaint box everywhere I went. I too have a life and struggles. It never fails that who ever is complaining, never asks me how I am doing.
Maybe you too have been carrying around said box. I feel your pain.
It is time we fought back. And here is how we will start.
1. Respond with: how thankful you are that you have clean drinking water, do not have cancer, or any other extreme example pointing out how petty they are being.
2. Respond with: talk to the hand because the face ain’t listening. I did this to my friends in middle school all the time and it totally worked.
3. Respond with: Gosh, your life is so terrible, does anything good every happen to you?
4. Respond with: Oh I’m sorry were you talking to me? I was busy thinking about how awesome my life is.
5. If all else fails respond with: Those goddamn (insert liberal, conservative, etc depending on the person) are ruining america! and storm off.
An oldie but a goody ;D
I love looking back over the blogs from the year. I think I should pay to put all my favorites in a coffee table book just for myself 🙂 Is that vain?
If that’s vain, then you’re in good company with me because I’ve already looked into do the same for myself.
You see I think the kiddos, will enjoy reading it one day, like a window into what your parents were really like when they were young and cute.
Aren’t you just complaining about the other people complaining?
Perhaps that is my secret hidden agenda…
I liked it the first time (I reblogged, remember?), still like it the second go ’round! I’ve been absent too long. Hoping to catch back up and be back daily in 2013 for some clever sarcasm tidbits from my favorite NeverContrary girl. Until then, my best for your holiday break and family down time. I’m certain you deserve it!
Have a wonderful holiday !!
