Ah, Tuesday. That day between Monday and Wednesday that is as obnoxious as a 2-year-old with a megaphone. Besides having to get out of bed this morning, here are several other things driving me crazy today: Slobbering toothpaste onto my workout clothes. I’ve only been brushing my teeth for four decades. You’d think I’d figure itContinue reading “Things Driving Me Crazy Today”

Foods I’m Afraid to Eat
The American Academy of People Who Want To Scare the S*** Out Of Me (AAPWWSOM) frequently release lists of foods that will cause horrible pain and untimely death. These people need to get a different hobby because they have completely confused me when it comes to healthy eating. Granted, I like cookies, candy, pie and other sugar-ladenContinue reading “Foods I’m Afraid to Eat”
PR Things Driving Me Crazy
I tend to get lotsa, lotsa press releases sent to me, inviting me to everything from the AUTORAMA to the free pap smear clinic. (I declined both offers.) I get good media releases–and some really, really bad releases. If you send me a release, here are some good ways to make me hate you: Press releases WRITTEN IN ALLContinue reading “PR Things Driving Me Crazy”
Make Yourself at Home
I love staying in hotels, because (unless my house burned down) it usually means I’m out-of-town. And while I love staying in hotels, sometimes those hotels are . . . well . . . not exactly the best home-away-from-home. But that means I spend more time out of the hotel, enjoying new Mexican restaurants andContinue reading “Make Yourself at Home”
Gym Rat Definitions
Now that February is winding down, people will stop going to the gym. That’s good. Because for the last two months, the workout place near my home has been PACKED. Every year it’s the same. Resolutioners hit the treadmills and ellipticals for eight weeks–then quit. During the last few weeks, I’ve noticed distinct personality trendsContinue reading “Gym Rat Definitions”
Top 5 Things Driving Me Crazy At The Ballet
When I was five, I decided to be a ballerina. However, Ballet West wasn’t hiring kindergarteners, so I had to put my dream on hold for a while. But I danced. I danced for eight more years before realizing most ballerinas weren’t 5’9″ with size 10 feet. It was a horrible moment when I understood IContinue reading “Top 5 Things Driving Me Crazy At The Ballet”
Things Driving Me Crazy With This Cold
Since Jan. 1, I’ve had colds, laryngitis, a sore throat, a short-lived case of the flu and a sinus infection. I’m tired of whining, and everyone in my family is sick of hearing me whine. Besides, everyone in Utah has a cold because It’s WINTER. Plus the smoggy inversion allows particles of radioactive pollution toContinue reading “Things Driving Me Crazy With This Cold”
Top 5 Steps to Organizing Your Home
When I’m snowbound (think “The Shining”), I like to clear out my cluttered spaces; because clutter=claustrophobia=really grumpy Peri. (If he would have de-cluttered instead of going all murder-rage, he would have enjoyed winter a little more.) January is a great time to clean out the house. You’ve got cool new Christmas presents to find places for,Continue reading “Top 5 Steps to Organizing Your Home”
What Should I Blog About Today?
Maybe your New Year’s resolution was to start a blog. That’s pretty easy. The hard part comes when you have to think up a topic on a regular basis. I post on Tuesdays (usually), so Monday night I’m cramming to write something witty, brilliant, unforgettable, quote-worthy or hysterical. But I give up pretty quick, andContinue reading “What Should I Blog About Today?”
Things Driving Me Crazy Today
Maybe I need to cut back on the caffeine, but I seem more irritable than usual. Could be a lack of sleep. Could be low levels of sugar (probably not). Could be Tuesday. Could be the cold. Could be too many things driving me crazy, such as: Taking off a sweaty sports bra. I basically have toContinue reading “Things Driving Me Crazy Today”
