Because it's all snowy and lovely, yet I still have to put on boots and go to work, I would like to present you with my top ten list of things that are just the worst. 

10. Having to get up at 5 am when it's not light until almost 7. That is poopy, and the story of my winter life.

9. Rashes. Especially rashes in areas where scratching in public is embarrassing or potentially illegal.

8. Running out of the good salad dressing, but not knowing it's gone until after you made the salad. Then you're stuck with a pale imitation of the salad of your dreams.

7. When your boss is talking to you and she farts and then says, "Excuse me." It would be easier to just ignore it and then giggle at your desk, but what are you supposed to say at that point? "No, I won't excuse you...that was nasty."? And you can't laugh, because that's not adulty.

6. Sticky stuff on the floor in the kitchen. Grandma Corky, I feel you on this one. It makes me die.

5. Making a huge batch of jam that doesn't set. I know it can just be used as syrup, but it's so much work and terribly disappointing.

4. When you run out of the comfortable pants and don't have time to do a load of laundry so you're stuck in the pants that make your butt look presentable but make life miserable for the whole day with their stiff scratchiness.

3. Getting a hole in the fabric part of your favorite pajamas, so you know you can't just keep mending them, as the fabric is so thin it's see-through, but realizing how many years it took the pajamas to get that soft and nice, and that you may have to do that all over again.

2. Looking at puppies online when you don't have a dog and know that with your allergies, you'll probably never have one again. Sigh. Puppies in Christmas sweaters, especially.

1. And the worst of the worst? When I get a sandwich at a restaurant and they cut it in half, which ruins it, because sandwiches should be eaten outside in, with a perfect middley bite in the center to save for last. They just shear that thing apart with no regard for my middley bite. Jerks.

So there you go. Enjoy your day.
