General musings

We all have our pet peeves. I’ve got more than a few. But there is one that I seem to run into more than others these days.

People who talk on their cell phones while they’re in the bathroom.

Argh! It drives me nuts.

I saw not one, not two, but three people do it. And that was just today. In about the space of an hour.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to go to the bathroom when there are other people in there — much less a third party that can hear all the flushing action via cell phone.

Not to mention that it’s rude to the person on the other end of the line. I’m sure they don’t want to hear you do your business anymore than I want them to hear me doing mine.

So, I’m going to start a trend. The next time I see someone talking on their cell phone in the bathroom, I’m going to ask them to go outside and finish their call. If that doesn’t work … well, maybe I’ll buy a bullhorn to stuff in my purse. 🙂

First of all, I have to give a shout-out to Ruth for inspiring this post. Thanks, Ruth!

Now, onto the ramblings. It’s been raining where I live all weekend long. But I don’t mind.

Because rainy days are my absolute favorites. Everything is gray and silver and quiet. The air is so humid that I can feel the moisture gather on my skin. Everything smells wet and fresh and clean (except for dogs, they just smell like wet dogs).

It’s raining now. I can hear it pounding against my roof. Ahhh …. I think I’ll go curl up on the couch with a blankie and a good book.

What about you? Do you like rainy days? Or do you prefer clear skies and sunshine? Inquiring minds want to know …

I love fall. Warm days, cool nights, colorful leaves, pumpkins, Halloween candy, snuggling on the couch with that special someone, Sunday football, new clothes … the list goes on. 

What’s not to like?

Sunday is definitely my favorite day of the week. You know why?

Because it’s the day I do nothing.

Well, technically, that’s not true. Most of the time, I do quite a bit on Sundays. I usually work at least four hours on my latest book/editing project. But these four hours are sandwiched around a nice lunch and an even nicer nap. 😉

I love Sundays because they’re the only days I have to myself. No day job, no errands to run, no housework to do. I can eat, I can sleep, and I can relax. It’s a little slice of freedom to start the week off right.

What about you? How do you while away your Sundays? Inquiring minds want to know …

Started reading Ally Carter’s I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You. It’s a cool, young-adult novel about a spy school for girls. Makes my own spy idea look totally lame by comparision. Sigh.

Maybe my football teams will do better this weekend than last weekend. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and marry Pierce Brosnan, too.

Eagerly awaiting the return of all my favorite fall shows next week. How I Met Your Mother, Grey’s Anatomy, etc. and new ones that look cool, like Friday Night Lights, Heroes, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Now, off to indulge in one of my guilty pleasures … watching The A-Team on DVD. My significant other just gave me Season Three, and I’m anxious to get started. The plots are totally cheesy, and everything is sooo dated. It’s so bad, that it’s good. 😉
