PITA with a purpose

I left education. I came back to education. And do you know why? Sure, you can say it's because of my love of children, blah, blah, blah. But ask any educator, at least the ones in the Northeast, and they will tell you they do it for the S & S - Summer and Snow Days. Summer is inevitable, but where the hell is this horrible Winter they promised? Is it bad to want one damn day to be forced inside to catch up on the shit I have been putting off for months? Get ready for more needless complaining in this week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl.

My free trial month for 2025 is almost over. I'm still unsure if I want to keep it or return it.

I'm also trying out dry January, but it's literally just my lips and skin.

I am obsessed with sauces. Like ketchup, mustard, ranch - too many to name. If I enjoy a particular sauce, there is not enough of it to cover my foods. I actually think I only like certain foods because of the sauces that accompany them.

Does a butt dial become a booty call if that's what ends up happening because of it?

If you are unfamiliar with the term PITA, I will help you out - it means "Pain in the Ass." Those who know me might not be surprised to learn that I am occasionally referred to as a PITA. However, I was honored the other day, when I admitted that I was a PITA, and my compatriot agreed, but said that I was a "PITA with a purpose." I felt validated.

I get the need for the red and white "WRONG WAY" signs on the highway. But why are they positioned in such a way that you can't tell if the sign is referring to the left side or the right side? Like, the angling of the sign makes you second guess your driving, which is probably more of a hazard than just driving the wrong way.

There is a Japanese legend that says, "if you can't sleep at night, it's because you are awake in someone else's dream." As a middle-aged, perimenopausal woman, I'd like to know how many fucking people out there are dreaming about me? Please, just stop, OK?

Whenever I see people who look like someone else that I know, and I make this suggestion, most people agree with me, at least a little. However, when my husband attempts to suggest the same, I often wonder if he's either oblivious or his eyeglass prescription needs a serious upgrade.

My husband and I were comparing which of us had the worse end of the deal in training videos to watch. His was defensive driving. Mine was human trafficking. Pretty sure I am the winner here.

Along those same lines, I really wanted to buy grapes, but I wanted to try one first, but the produce guy was standing right there, so I asked him if it would be alright for me to sample one. He replied that he didn't care if I lit the store on fire with him in it. Not knowing how to respond, I left the grapes and the store, deciding to come back another time.

My aunt turned 98 this week. I think she is more astute and agile than I am. Her secret? She loves Johnnie Walker. So, we got her a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. I'm sharing a pic of it, because if you are buying drinkable gasoline this expensive, there is no need for a mixer. Feeling blue? Well, I've got a blue for you...Cheers!
