Tuesday Troubles

It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know these for sure could be defined as first world problems!

~As usual, I am obsessed with the release (I know I am a bit late discussing this) of the Erin Condren Life Planners, but I am debating actually purchasing because I don’t really use the one I have. Will I be needing a planner now that L is in school? I mean I know I *need* to use a planner because clearly I don’t remember everything in my head, but how do I make myself actually use one. Do I just need to leave it open at my desk all the time so it’s staring at me?

~So I have (once again) become addicted to the deal sites, you know like Haute Look, Rue La La, etc. However, I am annoyed by the 15 minute cart time limit. I put something in my cart and 15 minutes, it’s gone. I get that things sell out and they don’t want it to sit in your cart for 2 days before you decided if you want to buy it. But dude, I am still on your site SHOPPING for more things to buy.

~I am on the hunt for airline tickets to Las Vegas and OMG are they expensive. What on earth happened to the days of super cheap plane tickets? I want to fly from Detroit to Las Vegas on a non-stop flight for gosh, under $400? And not on like Spirit or something like that. And I don’t want to leave at like 8pm. Is this too much to ask? Clearly it is because I’ve been searching and yeah, it’s not possible. When is it that “they” say that airline tickets are supposed to be the cheapest? Late Tuesday nights? Is that it? Should I be looking tonight?

~So I recently was troubled by the local FB buy / sell / trade / swap group (*) I am in and the crazy pants things people were selling and other people were actually buying. Think pre-worn bras, used cosmetics, half full vitamin bottles, you get the idea. Well, things have taken a crazier turn because in addition to the normal drama and calling people out for not showing up for a trade, posting screen shots of PM’s where people are calling each other names and threatening each other, people are now posting other group member’s arrest records and mug shots. WTF? This crazy train has crashed!

~In something sort of troubling and sort of amusing, L is now under the impression that we will be going on a cruise “every other year” for his birthday.  He has decided that next year we don’t need to go because he would like a “piñata” party.  Luckily I have some time for him to change his mind on this one.  Because yeah, Disney cruises every two years are not happening!

~And finally, if you have a toddler, what does he / she eat?  L was such a good eater and would eat anything.  WB?  Not so much.  He used to love mac n cheese, but that’s not even  happening these days.  He likes basically nothing and while “they” say that kids won’t stave themselves, yeah, WB might.  So any ideas??

That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
