FWP #1 (???)
I am going to try a First World Problems (FWP) post, inspired by Run Gingerfoxxx, Run (Sara), of course. Sara – let me know how bad this is and I will never do one again. Whereas you are cute and funny, I am obnoxious.
FYI: this is supposed to be funny. Please humor my attempt at humor.
1. I wasted 10 minutes yesterday trying on 10 different jackets/sweaters over this dress so I could wear it to the office. Nothing worked. How can my closet be so full of clothes yet so empty?
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
2. My brother keeps coming to town on business and we meet him for dinner he pays for appetizers on the company tab. We are all getting fatter.*
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
3. Katie recommended this book to me. I ordered it “gently used” for $3 on Amazon Prime and it came in one business day. But is has someone else’s writing in it!!!
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS (actually, that doesn’t bother me, I think it’s funny)
4. I have so many new magazines and books I don’t know what to read.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
5. I had a delicious glass of wine at dinner last night and have NO idea what is was. I just asked the waitress to bring me something fruity. Now I am upset I have no idea what I was drinking, because I loved it.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
6. I have been using pixlr.com on my (husband’s old) laptop to edit photos since I broke my laptop in December of 2011 and it had Photoshop on it. My husband bought me a new laptop at the end of January and set it up with Photoshop in the middle of March and I still have not turned it on to use it. Because I am lazy.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
7. I don’t have a picture for items #6, and now this one (and #14) and that bothers me. I’m all about consistency!!!
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
8. I have a Canon Point and Shoot that takes wonderful photos but I continue to subject you all to these awful iPhone photos. Barf! And they are not even edited in Photoshop!
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
9. I reached 99 turns in DrawSomething with Steven. What is going to happen now?!!??!? The anxiety is making me cray cray!!! Also, I am playing with so many people I bet my NOT unlimited data is through the roof. Oopsie.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
10. People don’t get my “That shit cray” reference. I must be hanging out with the wrong people.
From here
FIRST WORLD GANGSTA PROBLEMS
11. Gas is expensive and we only put premium in my car.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
12. In the middle of writing this post, my website stopped working. My host (powweb) is a piece of crap. I had to waste 20 minutes with them just to find out my site would be down for a few hours.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS (but seriously, this crap pisses me off)
13. I went to bed after 11:00 pm last night since I was working on this stupid post and the stupid host problem. I had to get up at 4:00 am. Now I think #1 is going to happen all over again, but with a different outfit. And yeah. I am tired.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS
14. I have to work all five days this week (instead of four).
THAT JUST SUCKS
Alright, tell me your first world problems!!!
Wow, I could have kept going with this list. That is scary. If you want to read an actual useful list, read this, which my sister sent to me!
*Actually, we paid for this appetizer, but we talked about this during dinner and I thought it was funny.
Themocracy
I love that song – I’m all gangsta like you.
This post is hilarious! And it really puts some of my “problems” into perspective. 🙂
FWP: Gas inside the city has risen to $4.87 at some gas stations. (Not that’s the only reason I ride my bike)
FWP: I am tired because I keep scheduling my personal trainer sessions for early in the morning. Ouch! 🙂
Have a good day!
first of all, I hadn’t even thought about the data usage playing Draw Something..lol..I just know my phone battery dies very quickly. (I also need a new phone). I believe I currently have unlimited data, if I get a new phone, I am guessing that would change.
I would be totally pissed off about the server too.
Most cellphone providers will “grandfather” you into the unlimited data plan at your current rate. Pretty sweet!
We have the exact opposite problem, it seems. I finished my book last night and the library isn’t accessible (their hours suck) until after work tonight and I have nothing to read over lunch. First world problems.
Come borrow some of my books/mags!!!
my FWP: I haven’t gotten “any” for about 8 months..ughhh :))
Having to wait on line at Starbucks every morning. First World Problems!
OH and not being able to get into my Draw Something app!!!
That is not a FWP. That is a tragic serious problem! TSP!!!
My manicure just chipped on two nails, somehow as a result of taking my dogs for a walk. Major FWP!
Thought for that dress – did you try a cardigan with a wide belt over it? I feel like breaking up the pattern a little might work.
UGH! I hate it when my nails chip or *shudder* break!!!
I tried a cardigan and it seemed too loose. BUT! I bet the belt would help. Thanks for the tip! I will try that!!! 🙂
I keep forgetting to tell you that I get an error everytime I post a comment on your blog. I can’t remember what it says something like it did not go through and I have to hit resend but the original post always goes through.
And drawsomething! I am past 99 with someone and it’s stuck at 99. Been that way for a week now. I was anxious to and took a pic of it in case it reset!
Thanks for letting me know Michel! Will you please take a screenshot the next time you get that error so I can try to figure it out?
Draw Something stops at 99, though if you click stats it shows you the real #.
WOW to your gas prices. Ours is $4.07. We sold our truck and only have one vehicle right now so we’re saving some $$.
Thanks for the tip! I am at 104 turns with Steven 🙂
We just have one car too but it does not get the best mileage. Yay… riding the train.
Happy 21st Birthday!!! 🙂
Love this series! Keep it coming. 🙂
I will just hush about gas around me being $3.80. Haha.
My car is crapping out, so now I have to drive my parents’ Saab. A Saab engine is awesome. The accompanying station wagon body, however, is not. #firstworldproblems.
I lurve the old style Saab!!! <3 <3 <3
My friend/co-worker just introduced me to Draw Something. So fun! I’m mmm4763 if you want to use more non-unlimited data/waste more time 🙂
hahahahahaha!!! I love that this is spreading like wildfire!! I also save all my interactions with “chatting with customer service” mainly because i usually get snarky, and they try to kill me with kindness 😀
If it makes you feel any better, the cheap gas here is costing about $5.41 a gallon right now. Yah.
My first world problem right now – I want to upgrade to an iphone. I’ve waited two years to be able to upgrade because my phone company sucks, and I’ve got another week or so before I can do it. Yesterday, my blackberry officially stopped working. It’s super slow and half the buttons don’t work. Seriously, could it not have held out for just another week? Would that have been so difficult?
Sigh. Phones. I hear you. Both my husband and I had to get new phones in Feb/March because ours broke (his naturally, mine because I am a klutz).
Your post is funny! Don’t say you’re not funny!
I don’t know why we can’t figure out something with that dress. We’ll just have to take it shopping with us some weekend and try on a gazillion things. Sigh. FWP.
Did you ever look into using Hover.com to host your stuff? With how much energy you spend being pissed off at your current host you could channel it all into calling or emailing them and having them help you move your site!
We must take the dress shopping! Yes! I do like that dress.
Erin! It’s more fun to bitch and moan! Honestly though, there is a lot I need to do to this blog, including finding a theme with comment replies so I don’t have to email peeps anymore. So much to do. So lazy. The host thing is important though!
Wow.. double wow… 18 times wow. This is one packed blog post.
99 at Draw Something is Drawsome! I’m just trying to get up to 249 coins so I can add more colors.
When you get to 99 it just keeps letting you play but doesn’t go higher. SO BOGUS! Darcy and I had the same problem.
I hate when I have an outfit that needs a sweater/jacket but none in my closet work. BOO!
Wow your gas is high. We are paying 3.79, glad I don’t live in the Chicago area anymore.
