Do you know the saying “My body aches in places I never knew I had?”

Well…after helping my Mother paint her new house..
I now know where my Trapezeus muscle is!

Man, I can only imagine what would hurt on the actual moving day.
Which reminds me.
I would like to write some of my pet peeves based only from this past weekend.

—FIRST – too many chefs in the kitchen!..
as we were trying to do our part painting..here comes this guy
..immediately after the usual salutations..started telling us that what we were doing was wrong.
I mean, we are no professional paint people, but if you are going to criticize what everybody was doing,
“PICK UP A FREAKIN’ BRUSH and DO IT YOURSELF”!!

—SECOND – lack of planning!…
I must have driven to and from the Home Supply store at least 50 times
because we ended up needing more stuff.
Which leads me to my next rant..

—THIRD and LAST – people who can’t drive!!…
OH MY LORD!!!…Who are these people???
To think Canada has this Excellent“(?) graduated licensing…
which takes you 15 years to be able to complete the freakin’ thing!!
What is wrong with these people??

Why do they have their turn signals flashing since Christmas of 1984???
How can you not notice the ambulance blasting it’s horn at you
from a mile away and still not prepare to give way?

Do you not understand the signs and road markings??

Dooo youuu spppeeeaakkkaa eeenggllleeesshh!!??

And who are these punks who do not know
the difference between low beams and high beams?
Do you want to help the driver in front of you in case they wanted to read a book??
Is it so hard to make sure that Ally Mcbeal can get out of her car when you park too close?

COME ON!!! I try to follow the speed limit..but I also am aware of the speed of cars around me..
I do not do a 70 on a 100 km/h highway…why in the world are you cruisin in the passing lane too??

OH WAIT!..I just had a revelation..
Do you ever wonder why you always find a shoe on the road?
….it’s these cruisin, not a care in the world people looking for the other pair!!!

….Oh Lord, please help me.
I make my own mistakes..I admit.
I am no NASCAR champ.
Though I do know that just because you can step on the gas pedal harder,
does not make you a better man.
