It’s bad enough to have to kill a man without having to listen to a lot of stupid talk from him first. ~ James Garner, Support Your Local Sheriff.
Just some grumbly stuff that I’ve been feeling:
Heavily advertised blogs. I’m tired of all the mom-home-decorating-blogs with so many friggin’ ads that the blog freezes my computer! Everyone seems to want to make a buck out of their blog, and this is a huge turnoff to me. If you have to have ads, select a few good ones and keep your blog clean and neat.
Pinterest links that don’t work or are to articles that are no good. I’ve tried a few of the tips that are being heavily bandied around on Pinterest and a lot of them simply don’t work. I’ve decided to have an Epic Fail board! LOL!
All-White rooms. Does every piece of furniture have to be painted WHITE!? I was really hoping that the all-white-Shabby-Chic trend would have been tempered with some reality. All white with kids in the home? Good luck with that people. If I see another piece of white painted furniture with a flour sack on it, I think I might barf up my breakfast.
Chalkboard everywhere. Guess what? Chalkboard is dusty and dirty. It smells, well chalky. If you have asthma or allergies it’s going to promote those. When you put chalkboard paint on your fridge what are you thinking? Because as soon as you put some words on there, it will get smeared within an hour and then look like crap. You’ll have to clean it off completely and re-write, to have it smudged again within an hour. I don’t get the chalkboard craze at all. Just more to clean up IMO.
There’s more that is pissing me off lately but that’s it for now…
