Pictures and Pet Peeves
My friend Dale got me the above picture at a dollar store (though I think he paid more than a dollar for it). Still, it looks pretty nice for being so inexpensive, doesn't it? I hung it to replace my stupid fish bowl, because my second stupid fish died.
I re-arranged/changed some of the pictures I have hanging in my living room. Above, left to right, are a picture of downtown Boston, a picture of a flower taken at the Chicago Botanical Garden, and an old world map (which I bought at JC Penney).
I am having a party on Saturday and have been tidying up the house in anticipation of guests. I really, really hate hanging pictures. There is far too much measuring involved, and I am always the idiot who punches a million holes in the wall. Other pet peeves lately:
1. I have a co-worker (nice enough guy) who will send an email and then immediately come to my desk and say, "Did you get that email I sent you?" Um, you sent it TWO SECONDS AGO. Give me a chance to read it. And if it concerns something so important that you need to speak to me about it, why did you bother sending an email in the first place?
2. I hate how nobody responds to evite unless you threaten to break their legs. Or, instead of responding to the evite, they'll just email you and tell you whether or not they plan to come to your party. Why not just respond to the invitation I sent you? It's easier for me to keep track of things that way.
3. This weather is irritating. It snowed in Chicago today.
