Queen of The Lists

Anyone who knows me is well-aware that I am a fan of lists. I make them all the time -- for groceries, to prioritize work responsibilities, and (every two weeks) to determine the most gas-efficient route in which to run those post-payday errands. I even make lists of the things that make me happy, as well as those that stress me out. Making lists helps me put order in my life, calms my nerves, reminds me to count my blessings, and makes the scary/overwhelming stuff seem more manageable.

And sometimes I just do it to blow off steam.

Therefore, it seems like a good time to write out a semi-serious/semi-humorous list of the things that have shown up on my mental radar and been subsequently filed in the "sh*t that bugs me" category (in random order):

* Timid drivers (in or out, make a damn decision!)
* Men who wear outdated glasses (live in the now, please!)
* People who dare try to intimidate me (HINT: trust me, it only makes me dig in my high heels even further!)
* Being held back at work (don't tell me I'm a star and then not let me shine!)
* The PA Liquor Control Board (you will be eliminated, so help me God)
* Rude people (It's not me, it's YOU!)
* Inconsiderate people (My time is important, and I do exist, thank you very much!)
*Absence of a Victoria's Secret in my neighborhood (a tragedy)
* Adrian and Noah live too far away (We'll bring the wine, yinz bring the guns, and we'll meet in da middle!)
* I have never met Jesse in person (I'd love to watch him in action at a bar)
* That I don't get to see often enough the friend I can be truly honest with (Thanks for "getting me")
* Not being able to go back in time and have a few "do-overs" (If I could, I swear I'd rule the world!)
* PostSecret only posts new secrets once a week (Soooo addictive)
* I can't IM from work (I really, really miss being able to do this!)
* Indecisiveness (I hate grey, unless it's on bathroom towels)
* Adrianne Frost gets to take credit for a book I wish I had wrote myself! (I tend to like the kids who have parents that recognize how important discipline is in child-development. My parents took NO SH*T -- what has happened to this latest generation of parents?!)
