Crabby Blogging Lady

The meaning of life, as found on a bumper sticker.

Uh huh.

Oh, it’s not ME that has grouchitis. It’s THEM. Out there. Crabby Blogging Lady is only crabby when she’s blogging, you see. All other times, I am the sweetest, kindest little ol’ lady who wouldn’t hurt a flea, you know!

So I went out shopping today. WHAT another disaster. Hey, I know times are tough– I mean, people can’t pay their cable TV bills and all– but why take it out on the smiling lady?

I went to the library today. As I was parking, I saw an older woman (about late 40s) hacking away at her car tires. ?? The license plate was from out of state. The temperature was freezing, and a cold wind was blowing. I stopped my car and asked if she needed some help. The lady turned on me like she had nails for breakfast:

“NO! LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET OUT OF HERE! JUST GET OUT OF HERE!”

“I’m only trying to help! I see that you are from out of st–”

“I THINK YOU’RE JUST BEING NOSY! GET LOST! GET OUT OF HERE!”

“Lady, I am not being nosy, I couldn’t care less. I just wanted to see if you needed a hand.”

She coldly continued chipping at her tire. I tried to see what she was doing. It looked like she had a popped tire and she was chipping built-up snow out of the tire well.

“Well, OK! Have a nice day!” and I drove away.

Now that the stinkin’ lady put me in such a happy mood, I had to battle it out at WalMart. Goody. I can always count on meeting more cheery people there.

Same old pushy, nasty, selfish, unsmiling people. What is WRONG with people?! We Americans have everything in the world and then some– we live like kings!– and yet Americans are so nasty and selfish. Well, I determined to be anti-grouchy. If everyone else was going to be afflicted with Grouchitis, I WAS NOT. I smiled and said “thank you” and “excuse me” allllll day. Not one person cracked a smile.

Whatever.

I’m still smiling. Cuz even though I have my share of troubles, God is good and we are a blessed people. Lord, help us here in this country. What’s the use of being so blessed if you can’t be happy?

We’ve had a round of severe colds that we have been unable to fully shake. I am SO tired of below-zero temps, sitting in front of the computer all day (and not earning much), and feeling terrible. We went through a healthy period for a few years, where we were hardly ever sick. This year has been awful.

I think all of us have had this hacking, gagging dry cough, runny nose, sore throat cold from hell for about three weeks now. I’m SO tired of it! I’ve been seeing blogs full of photos of Bermuda beaches and the Mediterranean crystal waters (is everyone on a cruise right now, or is it just me?).. and I’m so jealous! LOL. I wanna gooo!

I can’t even drag myself to the grocery store at this rate.

I really can’t wait until winter is over. I am “sick” of it early this year. I really, really miss the warm yellow sunshine.

Hey you nosy, gossipy person. Do me a favor and don’t read my blogs. I’m not THAT desperate for traffic that I want you around. Quit following my life on my blogs. I know who you are and where you are, and I’m watching you watching me. I know your IP number, what Internet service you use, what kind of computer you have, what browser you use, when you visit, and what pages you visit.

GO AWAY.

QUIT SPYING ON ME.

P.S. I hope you’re happy with your brand new computer, you jerk.

P.S.S. To anyone reading this blog and wondering, “Is it me?!” NO it’s not you. The person to whom I refer knows EXACTLY who they are, and they are not wondering if it’s them. They know.

Wanna know what makes me really, really, REALLY crabby?

Google’s PageRank.

What a JOKE

It makes me so crabby that I could explode. I get so angry that I can’t even BLOG about it!

I HATE GOOGLE AND I HATE PAGERANK!
