Tuesday’s Troubles

I wouldn’t really call these “troubles”, but “Tuesday’s Troubles” sounded better than “Things I Want to Complain About Tuesday” you know?  Plus, that would be a little wordy in my fancy pants title up there you know?

So the other night I stayed up super extra late to do our taxes only to try and file them and learn that, umm, the IRS isn’t ready because we’ve got such and such credits / deductions on there.  Really dude?  Glad I stayed up super late to find this out.  Because finding out at 7pm might have been a little more fun than finding out at 2am.  Although, I should mention that I think maybe I had heard about this, but of course assumed that it wouldn’t affect ME.  But now that it does, I am annoyed.

Why can’t I connect my tv to the internet?  Like I want wireless internet on my tv.  I want to watch Teen Mom 2 on my tv, not my laptop.  Is this too much to ask for?  I guess.  And I don’t want to run a cord from my laptop to the tv.  I just want it all to happen. I feel like hotels can do it, so why can’t I?

This is a constant trouble of mine, but I cannot stand when my socks don’t stay on my feet.  When they get “loose” I seriously have to take them off and find a new pair.   Or if I am in public, I seriously try to fix the issue. Does this irk anyone else?  Just thinking about it is driving me nuts.

And finally, I am beyond annoyed with bloggers who never reply to a comment, follow someone back on Instagram, etc.  When most bloggers get a new follower, they follow that person back.  If you want to follow ME, then I probably would like you, so why wouldn’t I want to follow you?  I’m not talking about the Pioneer Woman here.  I read some story on a Sunday Social link-up where this girl commented on a certain (she didn’t name it) blog (not even a big blog) all.the.time. and that person never once responded.  I know that sometime’s there is just nothing to say, but come on.  I personally am going to try and respond (via e-mail) to more comments instead of just replying in the comment section.  I fear no one goes back and looks and I would hate for people to think I am ignoring them!

Now it’s your turn, what’s troubling you today?

    I hate when Bloggers do that too! I don’t expect everyone to be my BFF, but a comment back once in awhile would be nice. Ya know. And I have to say that I don’t go back to check if someone wrote me back in the comments, so maybe they have responded and I just don’t know it!

    I am completely troubled by my sons school situation for next year and I don’t know what to do! No one is being very helpful and it’s a BIG decision!

    Tuesday troubles is right. I was dropping my 15 month old son off at Maria’s (the lady who watches him) and drove into her driveway, and decided to leave my car running because it was so cold out. I stepped out my car and my car starts driving forward. I hop back in the car to step on the break but NOT in time to stop it from driving into her garage. Yup. I didn’t put the car in park and it drove into Maria’s house, with my son in the back seat.

    These Nike Dri Fit half cushion no show socks are $16 for a three pack? but you?ll fall in love. They never slip. They are comfy. And they tell you which foot the sock goes on. A right and a left sock? Who knew!? They are expensive but the NEVER slip off my feet. Since they have a right and left sock I take really good care of them keeping them with their pair. I have them in white and black. I wear white ones to the gym and black ones with my work booties.

    I am reading your blog on my tv right now

      Kelsey STOP it. Really?? How??

    As a reader, I wanted to thank you for the follow back on Instagram, even if I don’t have a blog (as of yet!). It means a lot!

    Someone stole Connor’s lunchbox at school yesterday. Really?! From his backpack that was hanging outside. It was one of those metal, vintage style ones you can’t just get anywhere. Guess what we’ll be doing this weekend?…The sock thing bothers me too. I have serious issues with my socks. Have to toss them, if they have a tendency to ride down. FYI- Nike ones with the ribs in the middle work great 🙂

    We have our internet on our tv wireless. My husband worked some voodoo magic on it. If you are interested, you can email me and I will have him tell me his voodoo secrets. 😀

    I don’t think my TV is fancy enough to connect wirelessly to my laptop so I’m stuck with a cord. I would really like a second laptop though, so I can be on Pinterest and watching Netflix at the same time…

    You should get AppleTV! It’s like $99 and turns your regular tv into a smart tv. Also, thanks for the follow back on my instagram 🙂

    I connect my laptop to the TV through an HDMI cable (like hooking your computer to a printer). Your television should have a port, and most current laptops have one as well.
    Good luck!

    Do you have an HDMI cable? That’s how we attach our laptops to our computer. Some TVs don’t have the right output if they are older but that usually does the trick.

    I am annoyed with projects that get started around the house and don’t get finished. Don’t you think a month is enough time to put up a shelf? Oh no…it’s more complicated than just sticking it on the wall…or so I’m told.

    I hate it when my socks get loose too!! Drives me crazy!!
    And I had no idea I had to go back and check to see if the blogger responded to my comment!! I’m so new to this, and am not *yet* blogging every day, but that’s a good tip to know!!
    And, if other bloggers start following me, like on Instagram, I feel SOOOO good!! Kinda like I made it in their eyes! Crazy, huh!!

    Have a great Tuesday!!

    Oh yeah Apple TV is SO the way to go

  16. Alysia

    Yeah, you can definitely get your wifi on the tv. No hooking up the laptop to the tv either. I have no idea how but I’m sure if you went to Best Buy they could tell you what you need to do it. I’d ask my husband but he’s not here right now. I think we might have Google tv, but what do I know. That’s his domain.
