First World Problems

My far-away daughter wants a waffle iron for her birthday (?) so I went online - and there are too many to choose from !!! Oh no, oh no - whatever will I do? (sending her a first-world gift card)

And - our refrigerator's ice maker stopped working. Can I get a hug?

A hug and a trip to the Amazon rain forest for a week or so.

LOL!

Yeah I want to go to this free yoga class? But the walk is kind of a long way in the warm weather? I don't want to show up all sweaty.

I ran out of white chocolate and now I have to make do with milk.

Hold me.

Truly there is no god.

My hair's all wet and it's making me cold.

I showed up for the going out of business sale a day early and nothing was on sale.

My Kindle is charging, so I have to read a paperback like some caveman.

My wife's car gives a nagging beep if I start the engine and I'm not wearing my seat belt.

But when I first get in the car I have the key in my hand. What am I supposed to do with the key? If I put the seatbelt on first, I have to do it with the key also in my hand, which is fiddly.

Or I could put the key in the ignition, but not start the engine. Then take my hand off the key to put on my seatbelt. Then put my hand back on the key to start the engine. Which is wasted movement.

Three ways of doing it, each with a problem. Do I endure the beep or suffer the key juggling rigmarole to stop the beep from happening?

My wife puts up with the beep. I key juggle, but it irks me every time I drive her car.

My car gives me a few seconds grace to start the engine and then put my seatbelt on before doing the nagging beeping thing.

If we still have the car when my son learns to drive it will really freak out his mild OCD.

My CD player is on the fritz, so until I get it fixed I have to listen to my vinyl records.

I usually try stabbing it with a screwdriver, then moan about how everything is out to get me when I fail. There there, we're here for you.



I'm out of red wine, so I have to eat my steak with white wine like a barbarian.

I'm really really hungry and I have all this food in my fridge/freezer... but I don't want to eat any of it. I want something ELSE.

My hairdresser only works Saturdays now.

My husband has spoiled me with so many pairs of sexy boots, I never know which ones to wear.

My car, a low-mileage, 2008 Toyota Highlander, doesn't have the auxiliary outlet for my ipod. I had to buy one of those tape-deck thingies, and more often than not, it whines when I play my ipod.

I haaaaate waking up early to go to my baby doctor appointments!

I am not a morning person, and I have to wake up early to work early so I can leave early enough to pick DD up from school. I HATE IT!

I changed my password into a really long 'secure' one and now I have to login on all my devices.

My cat napped on my keyboard and inserted 62 pages of the letter F into my manuscript. --s6

My housekeeper is late. *dramatic sigh*

I have too many online friends. *sigh*

Oh, I almost forgot. If you haven't heard, there is a lime shortage. Do you realize how this is going to affect my gin & tonics?

And if you don't have anything on a cloud somewhere, you have to put in all your contacts by hand, set up your GPS and email accounts, Facebook, ugh, it's such a pain. >_<
