Things That Make Me Say “Ugh”

Do y’all hate Tuesdays as much as I do? I actually dislike Tuesdays more than Mondays. Tuesdays have almost as many days until the weekend as Mondays but have a fun added bonus of a weekly staff meeting and no Dancing with the Stars. They’re gross.

Grumpy Cat is my spirit animal today

So let’s just go with that theme…here’s some things that make me say “ugh.”

Red Cups…really? What’s the deal? Is anybody actually mad that they don’t have snowflakes on them or is this just the media making a something out of nothing? Can’t we all just enjoy our peppermint mochas in peace?

It has rained in Atlanta for approximately 40 years. I haven’t seen the sun in so long I can’t even remember the last time I actually saw it.

Speaking of, I am sick. Really sick. Like sound disgusting, look disgusting, shouldn’t be allowed around humans sick.

Speaking of again…my best friend is getting married on Friday. DayQuil needs to work it’s magic in a hurry, because in my current state I’m totally out of breath walking from my bed to the bathroom. I’m going to need a chair to sit in when I get to the end of the aisle. Prayers y’all. Prayers.

I can’t fill in my eyebrows. I have watched countless YouTube videos, looked up a zillion different ways to do it on Pinterest, have bought so many products in so many different colors and my eyebrows look dumb. I think I am too pale and my hair is too blonde to have filled in eyebrows.

Short, sweet, and to the point. That’s all I got for today. Happy Tuesday. We can get through it together…

    Ugh, I was sick for way too long this year hope you get better ASAP! We're getting lots of rain right now but it's better than the record breaking highs last week. I wouldn't have even noticed the lack of design I was just ready for the red cups!!

    I agree for it to be only Tuesday this week has been SUPER annoying! Here's to things looking up!

    It's a throw away piece of…what the frock is a coffee mug made of? I obviously haven't had my coffee yet this morning, but my point being why are we so up in arms about something so damn trivial? I mean really? That's what the world is offended by this week. OY!

    AGH I am with you on eyebrows. I have powder, I have a pencil and they always look too dark on me. It's weird because I used to have nice thick eyebrows but theyre getting more sparse and I really want to fill them in. SOMEONE HELP! Also, I usually hate tuesdays but I'm off tomorrow for Veteran's day so I like this Tuesday!

    my hair is not blonde (anymore) but i feel you on the eyebrows girl. i look like an idiot. i look like a clown. i'm over it. i guess i'll just look awful and like i rolled out of bed because i'd rather that than the idiot with the drawn on brows.
    anyway. feel better soon!

    Oh no, feel better friend! My tactic for a cold is to GET SLEEP. Take a day off if you can and drug up and just sleep for like 20 hours. Usually works for me! Also on the eyebrows. It must be a blonde thing because I can't for the life of me figure it out either!

    I'm so over the Starbucks red cups too! They never had any "Christian" related Christmas stuff to begin with. I think that it's just a way for the media to have something to talk about, but I'm so over it! I just want to drink my peppermint mocha or creme brulee latte in peace!

    Ugh this whole red cup thing…. I just don't get it. I definitely think it's the media making something out of nothing. And hope you feel better soon gurlie *hugs* take lots of airborne/vitamin C 😉

    Rainy days and a cold, ugh! I really don't get the red cup issue, but I am glad I am abroad and don't have to see too much of it, but also sad that there is no Starbucks around for me to get my holiday drinks!

    Ugh. The red cup thing. I just don't get it. Do people seriously have nothing better to do with their time??????

    Try Tarte's brow mousse in Ash Blonde, that's what I use. It's one of the rare cool tones out there, good for blondes. Your brows may be lighter than mine though, in which case, ask at ulta or sephora for them to match you! But the mousse is where it's at. Pencil does not work for fair skinned blondes, it just doesn't.
