yup

In this one, I'm going to talk about the things I do or may have done in the past that 

a.) I find annoying when other people do them 

b.) are just annoying in general

welcome to my madness

1. Throughout my home there are gratuitous amounts of photos; engagement, wedding, baby, family, you name it, it's there. 

Exhibit A:

easy... I'm in my swimsuit 

In comparison, my mother-in-law has maybe one framed photo (of the dog no less) displayed in her sitting room (is that technically a parlor?  I don't know).  I sometimes wonder if she feels visually assaulted by my face whenever she's in my house...

2.  I have a glass block with vinyl lettering.  I do.  It may or may not have my name, that of my spouse, and our wedding date on it, wrapped with a big gold bow.  Two words: wedding gift

3.  I have a lot of black furniture.  Black end table, black kitchen table, black entertainment hutch, black shelves.  Also, I have a very large red couch.  At times I feel like the quilted bear threw up in my house.  

4.  I will neither confirm nor deny that I have block lettering above my stove directing me and any other unsuspecting kitchen visitor to "dream", about what I'm not sure.  Let me know if you figure it out.  

5.  Through the life history of my blog I have been known to:

• Post wedding day pictures of myself posing with both my father and my mother when referencing how much I love them, usually on a birthday or other celebratory occasion.  See here and here
• post wedding day photos in general, a lot of them too I might add...
•  Sport a header featuring various woodland creatures
  
• Talk excessively about my offspring, and yes, he is certainly cuter than yours, sorry.
• (r.e. above) talk excessively about how wonderful and terrif my husband is, and yes again, he is better than yours, sorry.
• used cute parantheses {} rather than normal ones (), in excess
• accept sponsors
• enter a give a way or two (or ten), though I have yet to host one
• post shameless and vapid self portraits 
• not have an etsy shop, but wish I did
• do posts in list format
• own a DSLR, because I like to take pictures, for my blog
• post pictures and talk about my domestic victories, hoping that you'll comment and tell me how impressed you are in return
• talk a lot about how much I love Target, silly I know, but I do, I LOVE TARGET
• at times fail to use proper punctuation and/or capitalization
• give my spouse and child ridiculous and annoying internet pseudonyms

Also, 

I have poor taste in music, watch too much t.v., have read the entire series of "the sisterhood of the traveling pants (and loved it), I sleep in until my kid wakes up, spend the entire day in sweat pants more often than not, wear flip flops (sorry Carina), saw Step Up 1 and 2,  

and wonder daily why I don't accomplish more. 

the end 

and 

you're welcome
