Irritants - there are several.

Maybe this will seem like a negative post -- I hope not. But I've got a little list going and I have to get them out of my system:

• I pay my bills online. I thought I was paying off my credit card on Sept 1, but instead I mistakenly made a 2nd (partial) house payment as well as the normal one. So while not a completely bad thing, it does leave me with a stupid finance charge on the credit card since I didn't realize my stupid mistake until 6 days after my credit card payment was due. DING DONG! I am dumb. I do still love internet bill paying, however.
• My internet at home was working great until this weekend and it's all spotty again. WHY? I've got the solid gold splitter, for heaven's sake!
• Frog season is upon us and I am not happy. When you live in a wet area like Washington and you live in a ground floor condo that for some reason gives off good froggy vibes to the reptile community, you run the risk of frogs (and the occasional lizard-type-creature) trying to break and enter into your home. I came THIS close to having one in for a visit last night until I was able to scare it away from my open front door. I need a nice 8-12 year old boy to come over and check my door when I come home at night to make sure they aren't sitting there, ready to jump on in. Please send any interested applicants my way. I will pay in baked goods and/or candy and I will let them beat me at any game on the Wii.
• Besides frogs, the spiders are making a run for the comfy confines of my home as well. I saw a huge, disgusting one scamper under my bed last night. MY BED! Totally freaked out at the prospect of falling asleep and having it walk all over me, I prayed it would come out and it did! I killed it (sorry, Heavenly Father.) But I itched all night thinking about more spiders walking on me as I slept.
• I desperately need a pedicure and not sure I have time to get one until next week.
• I have to make pasta salad for like 50 people for a baptism on Saturday. Tell me to make cakes, cookies, brownies, etc. for 50 people -- that I can do. But pasta salad???? Stressful.
• I tried again to like yogurt this week but I just can't. More than any food I dislike (i.e. bananas, bell peppers, shellfish) I so want to enjoy yogurt. I like adding granola to it for the crunch but cannot get past the sour taste and have to stop eating after about four bites. Am I just trying the wrong kinds? I also cannot handle chunks of fruit in it. Suggestions gladly accepted so comment away. Please.

Okay, some good things? My second (and freeeeeeeee) TiVo arrived, we are having fabulous & summery weather, and my mom came over yesterday and surprised me with some homemade bread and she also did the dishes in my sink and took out my garbage. How can I be irritated with life when I have such a fabulous mom???
