Just Bitchin' about: Identity Theft
Tonight my husband went to pick up dinner (hey…I called, ordered and arranged to have it picked up, the way I was raised that’s called, “making dinner!”). He comes home, gives me a look (the one that says, “ummm, I think you might have gone shopping and spent money you know you shouldn’t have but in order for me to appear ‘cool’ about it I better...

Just Bitchin' About: Courts
Well, I received a speeding ticket recently. I also completed the online defensive driving course. The course was almost 7 months ago. This new ticket couldn’t be handled the same way … I had to actually go down to the County Court to sign up for deferred adjudication.
Basically, I pay a fine and then cannot get a ticket for 24 hours.
Really? 24 hours?
A whole...

Just Bitchin' About: Divorce
Divorce sucks! It’s hard for all involved. To see people who were married for a reason and have kids together get a divorce is really, really hard. It’s hard to see the couple hurting , and hurting each other. Why does this happen to people who once chose to be together, who chose to have kids and build a life together? What can make you feel that much animosity to just say,...

Just Bitchin' About: DisneyWorld
Just took our three kids to DisneyWorld. We really had a great time. We were lucky enough to have a pass that allowed us to bypass most of the long lines for rides and the occasional character “meet ‘n greet”. However, I have to admit going to Disney this time I observed some not-so-nice things about “The happiest place on earth”. A few observations:
1). Walking...
Just Bitchin: Cause I Can
On a plane (seems to be a theme for the blog) and a lady sits next to me. Okay, even though there are a lot if empty seats I’m okay with it.. Until I hear her cough, and cough, and cough. Seriously!!!! Can they create an are at security that screens people who are coughing? Everytime she coughed, I turned my he’D to the window and held my breath. So, now I’m 22,000 feet...
Just Bitchin' About 40 Being the New 30?
Who said 40 is the new 30? Oprah? The fashion industry? I’m not sure………… Let me just say this - there are benefits, but come on - the new 30? This is what I, as a 42 year old woman, have to say about 40. My vision is gone - that is I can’t read a lipstick name or small type on that book I may want to read - nope, my children now shop with me and tell me what...

Just Bitchin' About: Nail Places
It’s been awhile since my last blog. I really have a lot to bitch about. However, right now I will focus on what’s on my mind at this moment… My niece is in town for Thanksgiving. We have been going to the same nail place for many years. They are really nice people. However, today me, my two daughters, sister and niece went to get our nails done. All of us except my niece...

Just Bitchin' about: Facebook
I like Facebook. In fact, I have a page. But to protect the names if those I might bitch about, the actual page will remain unnamed. I don’t post a lot on my “status”. In fact, I’ve only updated it one time. However, I do enjoy being able to keep in touch with those I might not otherwise call, email or even text. I admit that I have the “APP” on my phone...
Just Bitchin' About: ignorance
Okay, I’m not perfect and I admit it. I’m pretty obsessed at this point with purell and Lysol these days. I actually sing in my head at least one verse of “Happy Birthday to You” when I wash my hands with soap… I do this b/c some doctor on Oprah or the View or some other show told us that this was about how long we had to wash our hands in order for it to be effective. I’m pretty happy he...

Just Bitchin'About School Carpool
Today I was gonna bitch about language, but lo and behold my partner in crime covered that subject. I’ll just add - if you move here learn the language. That’s it. Now carpool line is hell and I know many of us moms and dads deal with this everyday. I’m not always saying that I am the perfect rule follower, but for the sake of the kids, can this be the one place that people...
Just Bitchin' About...Foreign Language
Picking up my car today and waiting to pay for it’s service I stood in a line about 4 people deep. The line was not moving at all, Why? Why? Because the lady checking out spoke NO English and the poor service checkout girl was trying as hard as she could to understand her. She had to call an advisor over who also couldn’t understand her. He was calling one of the Hispanic...
Just Bitchin' About: Airplane Rides
Sitting on a very small plane this afternoon I was behind a rather large lady. The rows are only 3 across and the seat are pretty bare bones as it is. She decides to lean her chair back during the oh-so-long 55 minute flight. I guess to take a nap, or, possibly to make room for her enormous belly. At any rate, I hate it when people do that.. I especially hate it when they don’t have the...
Just Bitchin' About: Grocery Store Clerks (part 2)
I had to go to the store again today to quickly get some things for our dogs. So, my son and I went to a store not too far from us, however, it doesn’t have a self-checkout machine.. I know, I looked. So, we took our cart filled with some dog food, dog biscuits and dog treats to the nearest checkout lane. As the checker began placing the items on the conveyer belt and I started to help...
Just Bitchin' About: Grocery Store Checkout
Have you noticed the now new “self scanner checkouts” at the grocery stores? I have, I love them! I get my groceries and walk over to the self scanner to checkout of the store. This thing is too easy. You simply take your item, run it over the infrared light and load up your bags. Even the fresh items, like fruits and vegetables have a code that the machine looks up for...
Just Bitchin' About: Crap
No, literally…I’m still bitching about the automotive gift of poop and pee that my 90 pound puppy left in my car 3 days ago. As you know, we were able to get the poop out of the car quite easily. However, the smell of urine is still lingered in my car over the weekend. You might have seen me driving with my kids in the rain with windows down and our heads hanging out the windows....
Just Bitchin' About: pets
We have an 8 month old puppy. She’s HUGE! She’s a Newfoundland and we found out today that she is 90 pounds and is only appx. 80-percent of her end weight! Did I mention we also have 2 more full grown Newfs at home? So, obviously we are sick in the head. On our way to the vet my daughter and I start to smell the oh-so pleasant smell of gas (not gasoline!). Well, if it were just...
Just Bitchin' About: Email
It’s one of those things in life that we have let become a necessity.
EMAIL! Well now I have yet another email address. My designer thought it would be absolutely fantastic (his words not mine) if I would let my readers email me about my latest posts … sooooo
Have something to bitch about let me know … QueenB@bitchblog.us.
Just Bitchin' About: North Dallas Housewives part...
Overheard: “Does anyone know of a housekeeper? Mine is braindead. She was cleaning my house on Friday and I got an email last night from the woman I share her with telling me she was at the hospital with no brain activity. It’s so sad, but now I need a housekeeper.” “Quit your bitchin….that’s why I’m here”
Just Bitchin' about: Tennis
I played my first tennis match of the new season and lost. I’m not happy at all. First of all I ony lost one time last season so I’ve already tied for my record and it’s just begun. Secondly, not that I didn’t have some major mistakes but if my partner hit it so long that it would qualify for a homerun if it was baseball. And, yes, it’s hot… We DO live in...
Just Bitchin' about: checking out with an ATM card
So, I go to a well-known sporting goods store to get my sons baseball gear, made my way to some other aisles as well:). Hand my stuff to the girl behind the counter… She, spends about 10 minutes trying to find a price for a baseball belt… she could have saved all that time and simply walked over to the display to see the price (but that would have been too easy!!). Then, I swipe my...
Just Bitchin' about: Mean Kids!
Okay, so today was a good day at the start. Kids were up at a relatively decent time, dressed and to school on time. Got to go play some tennis and got a few things done… Then, I picked up the kids at school and got an earful from one of them about several kids who made fun of his middle name…. Okay, I get the fact that his middle name is not very “hip.” But,...
Just Bitchin' about: everything!
This is the first blog on this new website my friend created for this “BitchBlog.” He is very talented and probably thinks I am a moron because I had no idea how to start this up:). This is a website thought up by me and a friend of mine who spend way too much time complaining to each other about everyday things. We know we are not the only ones out there who think this way, so we...
ho hum ... designers are slow on fridays!
So I’ve been waiting around for a week to begin blogging but my graphic designer seems to think that he is creating the mona lisa instead of a blog for me and my friends!
