Death Wish or Just Inconsiderate?

I was on the all-too-familiar 4-lane Interstate today,(2 lanes each way) and as I approached one particular hill where most drivers pulled into the left lane to allow trucks entering the highway room to get up to speed. It also allows for other trucks (already on the highway) to gather a little speed in order to make it up the hill. There was a small economy car a couple cars ahead of me in the left lane also, not going quite as fast as the rest of us and a semi in the right lane. Now, granted the cars in the left lane were creeping up behind this small econo car, wishing it would move, but anyone with any common sense should know that you don't change lanes and get in front of a semi when it's trying to make it's way up a hill. Yet that is exactly what this driver did, pulled 'directly' in front of the semi, causing him to apply the brakes. Maybe that should be a question added to the Driver's License test...

It makes you ask the question:
Do they have a death wish, are they just plain inconsiderate... or stupid?

Toilet Paper Holders - must have been installed by Men!

Women would notice this more than men.... but maybe there are some men out there that would even speak up. Have you ever noticed how LOW on the wall the toilet paper holders are installed in public restrooms? I have noticed this over and over again. I find myself saying, OUTLOUD, "Who installed this thing anyway...? Some Man, no doubt." Using no rational for the height they choose, I find my knees constantly banging into these things as I sit down. Do they ever TEST the height at which they choose before installing? Infact, I wouldnt be surprised if they installed them before installing the toilets.

I'd like to see a Man SIT on every toilet where he installs the paper holder, and attempt to get some paper out of it. Maybe then he would learn where to install it! ...Even a child would have trouble getting paper out of one, without falling off the stool! Come on.... builders, construction bosses, SOMEONE... can't we have some realistic guidelines???? SIT on the stool and install the device so the paper will be dispensed ABOVE YOUR KNEES!!!

Weekly Rejuvination

Ahhh the weekend... I love those weekends. They should call them rejuvination days, but we need more of them... 3 would be good. Friday was fun, the hubster & I went to a great little place in Peoria called Red Zin Restaurant - they have good food, and a great piano bar you can request songs, sit and listen or sing along. Quite a friendly bunch. Afterward we headed for Coldstone Creamery ... Mmmm, my Friday nite treat! Saturday was a slow lazy day, I didn't even work for a change. What a change! It was nice for once. Flat Top grill for lunch out at Grand Prairie mall, hadn't been there in a while, then walked it off strolling in and out of stores ending with a wonderful massage at my favorite chair... in Sharper Image. I'll get that chair one day. Dinner was enjoyable at Jalepeno's - a fairly new Mexican restaurant with great food, fun atmosphere, and a friendly staff. What a combination! Sunday I went to see Pirates of the Carribean 2 - GREAT film! GO see it. I ended the weekend watching "Mirror Has Two Faces" with an ALLSTAR cast... what a wonderful end to the weekend... So, here we go ... another week, let's see what it holds.
