Booyah

Okay, I admit, I do actually use a bunch of those phrases that annoy me. Particularly "at the end of the day". I once used that phrase twice in an e-mail that was only a paragraph long.

Also - I think "booyah" should make the list of annoying phrases. Aaaand I just used that phrase a couple of posts ago. Heh.

Lastly, this picture just makes me laugh.

Things that annoy me, part one: annoying phrases

Today Theresa and I made a list of phrases/words that annoy us. Here are the results, in no particular order:

1. Apples to apples
2. Just in the nick of time
3. Don't worry, be happy
4. Turn that frown upside down!
5. Petunia (I don’t know why, I hate this word)
6. To thine ownself be true
7. The road less traveled
8. At the end of the day...
9. The fact of the matter is....
10. Cut to the chase
11. Think outside the box
12. My bad
13. Start from square one
14. She’s good people
15. Whazzzuuuupp
16. Pick your brain
17. On the same page
18. Keep it real
19. Various sports analogies, i.e. "Give it 110%" or "right out of the gate"
20. Cut from the same cloth

Phrases that I am kind of into right now:

1. Snerk!
2. Jiminy Cricket!
3. That's the bees knees
4. What the hey!
5. Holy crap balls!
6. What the f***, a$$hole! (okay, I know this isn't really a "catchphrase", but I say it all the time while I am driving)

More to come, as we think of them.

Edited to add: O, added "Holy crap balls" just for you.

Cat plus bug

Cats plus random bug flying around the house = hilarity.

Also - day 4 of heat wave and I have yet to put on my air conditioner. This is a personal triumph for me. I kind of feel like if I can handle 4 days of 90 degree plus temperatures without succumbing to the temptation of air conditioning, then I can rule the world. Or something like that.

AND I played softball today in 100 degree heat. And we won! My awesomeness is astounding....

I'm in another play

Booyah - I'm in another play! How awesome is that. I'm playing an Italian-American character called "Tootsie". Which is funny because I am Italian-American and when I was a kid I tried to get people to call me "Trixie", which sort of sounds like "Tootsie". It never caught on, I'm sorry to say. Ah well.

Tom: hi. What's up. You are the only person that comments on my blog. I had fun at Eli's on Friday. Scott and his fiance (was it Kim? I'm bad with names) are very cool. You and Scott and your drunken Star Wars references were hilarious, even though I didn't get most of them. Wish we could have stayed longer. Sigh.
