Welcome friends!!! I'm so excited to have you here today, on the inaugural linky launch of Bitch and Moan Monday! It is SO much more fun to bitch and moan with your friends, am I right? Bitch and Moan Monday was born because....
For all the smack I talk, mostly via inner monologue (or on my blog, ha) because I really don't like conflict or hurting people I like, I'm generally a happy person. When I am stressed out, bummed out, or just plain pissed off, I really do try to keep it to myself. I like my blog to be a place of positivity...you catch more flies with honey, right? Well, sometimes you just have to let it out. So that's what made me think of Bitch and Moan Monday. Share your complaints, leave it here, and move on to a great week!!
My mess, my business: Ok, so I am a total reformed slob. I am not exaggerating whatsoever, previous humble abodes belonging to me were just begging for a phone call to Hoarders. Mr. Floren and I have, up until the beautiful house we moved into last June, moved every year we have been together. Call us nomads, explorers, or just needing a good excuse to clean, that's what we did. With every move we made, my cleaning skills improved. Chalk it up to age, or having to pay the mortgage, but my house is now kept very, very clean and clutter-free. Except for one area: my bathroom counter.
This beauty does NOT come naturally, folks. It takes a lot of hair, makeup, and miscellaneous beauty products to spackle this face to the gorgeousness you see on a daily basis. I also don't see the point of putting away things that I use every day, you know, unless company is coming over. (Don't even tell me you don't have two levels of clean-normal clean and company clean. Totally different.) So I usually leave everything scattered all over the bathroom counter. It's a dual sink set up, and yes, sometimes my junk encroaches on Mr. Floren's side of the counter. So, I think this was his way of telling me to back off:
Everything, and I mean everything of mine, stacked on my side of the counter, including in the sink. He might have well as drawn a line down the middle of the counter, sibling style. And yes, I understand that I have a lot of shit, and maybe the coffee cup collection isn't necessary. But in my defense, this guy has two products: toothpaste and deodorant. Cologne if he's looking to get laid. And a razor stashed in a drawer. That's about it. And both of my outlets are taken up my my hair straightener and curling iron, so duh, of course the hair dryer has to go on his side. Frankly, I clean the entire damn house, I wash his freaking boxers, I am 400% better about the whole messy thing-if I want my bathroom to look like a damn pigsty, so freaking be it. Also pathetic? This is what qualifies as a disagreement in my house. I was mad at him for like, two minutes, then I starting cracking up over it...who does that? Who stacks up your stuff instead of just asking you to pick it up? Only the dear Mr. Floren.
My blogging commenting system: is not ideal. There are a LOT of things I like about Intense Debate, which is why I switched from Blogger's prehistoric and ridiculous commenting platform. But there are also a LOT of things I'm finding I don't like about ID-missing comments, three different comment threads for the same post, so I have to cut and paste comments and move them over on giveaways....just a lot of complications. I was considering switching to Disqus, but I've heard that they are far from perfect as well, and then I lose all the comments that have already been left on my blog. So if any of you have any ideas for me, please share. And I know, I know, I freaking know, I just need to grow a pair and switch to Wordpress-but I'm scared of a change of that magnitude. Hold me.
So what's got you looking like someone crapped in your corn flakes this morning? Did you catch The Plague that I've been sick with for three weeks? Couldn't sleep last night 'cause hubby was snoring? Pissed off because Grey's was pre-empted for the Olympics? Please do tell me all about it-either in the comments, or preferably, by doing your OWN Bitch and Moan Monday post, grabbing the button, and linking it up here with the rest of us complainers!!!
