Whiny Wednesday

April 16, 2014

Whiny_WednesdayAs I hijacked last week’s Whiny Wednesday with a birthday, I’m announcing Double Whines this week. Hope it wasn’t too painful saving them up.

Whine away!

Whiny Wednesday

March 26, 2014

Whiny_WednesdayI’m kind of horrified by how fast this year is going. It’s almost April!

The upside of this time warp is that Whiny Wednesday comes around faster too.

So, here we are again. Your chance to unload about whatever’s on your mind this week.

Whiny Wednesday

February 19, 2014

Whiny_WednesdayThis is week I have a number of whines, none of which I’m willing to verbalize on a public forum, because they all involve people I know and like, and would hate to hurt. (Sometimes I wish I blogged anonymously, though.)

But, it is Whiny Wednesday and your chance to vent, so go for it. And just know that I’m stomping and venting to myself over here, too.

Whiny Wednesday

January 22, 2014

Whiny_WednesdayYou may have the Colby wildfire on the news and you may have seen the photo of the smoke cloud visible from space. If you could see underneath that cloud, you’d see me, sitting here with itchy eyes, a stuffed nose, and layer of soot on every flat surface in my house.

I’m very grateful I’m not in any danger from the fire itself, but I’m whining about the air that I’m breathing this week.

It is Whiny Wednesday. What’s got the corners of your frown turning down this week?

Happy New Year 2014

January 1, 2014

2014 aOn this, the first day of a brand new year, I’m sending good wishes your way.

I hope this year will be good to you, that it brings you peace, good health, and happiness. And if it throws in a little success and prosperity, even better.

I look forward to spending time with you here next year, to making new friends, and cheering on old ones. I hope you’ll meet some new people here, too, and know that, wherever you are on your journey, you’re not walking your path alone.

For those of you who’ve just about had enough of my sappy holiday messages, you’ll be glad to know that Whiny Wednesday will be back next week, so I hope you’ve saved up all your holiday gripes.

For now, I wish you all a very happy New Year.

~ Lisa

Whiny Wednesday

December 18, 2013

Whiny_Wednesday“It’s the most wonderful time of the…”

…week!

That’s right! It’s Whiny Wednesday, your chance to “Bah, humbug” and gripe about the grinches in your life. And because of the impending holidays and the need to be festive, this will be the last whine of 2013, so make it a good one!

Whine on!

Whiny Wednesday: Holiday Blues

December 11, 2013

Whiny_WednesdayMr. Fab and I had a lovely quiet Thanksgiving, just the two of us.

We watched Home for the Holidays as a reminder of what’s good about not having to do the “family thing.”

But now we’ve turned the corner into December and I’m feeling my first pangs of the holiday blues. There are so many things that I wish were part of my festive season, like hand-delivering gifts to my family, shopping for small children, and having the kind of Christmas I had as a child.

But, I’m taking my own advice. I’m focusing on the good stuff, making plans to do festive activities, and creating new traditions suitable for a family of two.

But, boy, it’s not always easy is it?

It’s Whiny Wednesday. What are you struggling with today?

Whiny Wednesday: Kids at the Movies

December 4, 2013

Whiny_WednesdayWhy do some people think it’s perfectly acceptable to bring a toddler or baby into an adult-rated movie only to have them cry all the way through?

Not only is it hugely disrespectful to the other paying customers, there’s a reason some movies are rated unsuitable for children. It’s because they’re unsuitable for children!

It’s Whiny Wednesday; time to get it all off your chest. What’s your gripe?

Whiny Wednesday: Thanksgiving Edition

November 27, 2013

Whiny_WednesdayI’m always hesitant to replace Whiny Wednesday, as it’s such a popular outlet for angst (see last week’s post as an example of the value of a place to vent, and laugh.)

But tradition here is to mix things up a bit on the day before Thanksgiving and make Whiny Wednesday more like Gratitude Wednesday.

So, in honor of Thanksgiving, what are you grateful for this week?
