Monday Misery Thread

[snowsprite]

I know, I know...if life gives you lemons make lemonade. Look on the bright side of life. Be grateful for what you have...

Fuck that.

Sometimes, you just want to hit yourself (and everyone else you see) over the head with a 2x4 simply because it is Monday. And you're miserable for a host of little reasons that add up to one big annoyance.

Here's my suffering today:

1. People were driving extra-special-super assinine this morning
2. It's gloomy out
3. I'm back in Connecticut, in my cube
4. I spent the weekend w/ my mother-in-law when I really wanted to be hanging out w/ friends
5. I'm on a deadline which is even deadlier this week (squirm) and I have a toothache but I'm scared to go to the dentist

But every cloud has a silver lining, so here's what I'm thinking to try and survive Monday misery this week:
1. I'm feeding my ipod a bunch of new tunes.
2. I'm not as tired as usual--surprising b/c we left Vt at 3:30 a.m this morning
3. I got to horseback ride thru a pretty deep river on Saturday and that was kewl
4. My mother in law is really not horrible...but it's my wifely duty to complain anyway. And she did help me put up some curtains the right way! (I was putting them up backwards b/c I'm kind of stoopid about that stuff)

and best of all...
5. Only 4 more days and I can drive back up to VT!

The tooth thing, well I'm just going to deny that a little longer until I can't live w/ it. My last dentist experience was one I'm not keen to repeat!

But did you burn more cardboard???

I had a pretty fun weekend, so I'm still livin' off the glow (DMB festival Sat and a good hike on Breakneck Ridge on Sunday). I'm hoping that it lasts through the day so I'm not grumpy like Sprite

May I say that Taylor Pork roll in my fridgy was quite tasty! Maybe if I had some more of it I would not feel so grumpy.

Then again, maybe my pants would not fit me either.

Monday bad. I had a friend over for dinner last nite and he brought Jameson, Bailey's, and Guinness. Drinking carbombs on a Sunday is a bad idea.

Can I join the swamp of Monday dispair?

*It's raining
*Roo is in Germany so it's just me and the cats at home
*I have a deadline that is urgent but I've lost interest
*I spent the weekend sleeping on a sofa at my parents and have a crick in my neck
*I have to vacuum a load of compost from the boot of a Jeep Commando press car (upturned plantar due to violent braking) and our vacuum cleaner isn't working properly
*I'm skint

Other than that, life is great! Went to Brownmonkey's hog roast party Saturday night, ate lots of pig, drank too much Pimms, chatted with old friends and sang with the band (on their request suprisingly enough!!)

[snowsprite]

A brownmonkey party is one thing I'd like to experience. Sounds like an awesome time was had!!

I was going to cycle to Brighton today, but I've decided I'm allergic to rain so I'm saving it for a sunny day.

Yeah, that's about as miserable as my holiday Mondays get

Ummmmmm! Taylors Pork Roll! That's a rare treat in these parts... (with a vegetarian wife and no local distribution.) One of few reasons I'll head south!

My membership to Monday despair:
It's going to blow 25+ knots (ideal windsurfing wind after months of not much), my friends (and I) are free and I have an f'n cold! So I'm online wasting time, feeling crappy, too...

i actually feel great having biked about 10,000 meters of downhill this weekend in the mud and sometimes rain. good times.

mmm...roasted pork does sounds good. i suspect the english ruined it tho without proper BBQ sauce. worchestershire? or that awful brown sauce?

[snowsprite]

Ripzalot you little smartass, you're going to get your butt kicked on both sides of the pond for that!

I played mini-golf yesterday. I got a hole in one.

I still hate Monday's.

........boot..............skint...............

Are those even words?

[Mtn Man]

Hehe, I knew boot was spare tire. But I have no clue as to what skint is...

[edg]

The boot is the, errr, 'trunk' (?) - you know, the place in the back of the car where you stick shit.

Skint = penniless

In a bread roll with apple sauce and stuffing, of course. The only way!

[Mrs Roo]

What's with the multiple posts?

[edg]

He *really* wanted to make the point about poor quality swiss BBQ sauce?.

[snowsprite]

Swiss people make bbq sauce? Now that's just wrong!
(stick to that yummy holey cheese folks)
