GTT: Pet Peeves

by Tatiana on January 21, 2010

This week over at Girl Talk Thursday, we’re discussing our pet peeves.

1) When people don’t throw away nail clippings.

2) When time is left on the microwave (ESPECIALLY if the door is left ajar!)

3) Chips / cereal / crackers etc getting left open so they go stale.

4) Toilet paper unrolling from the bottom (if I see this at your house, I’ll fix it!)

5) Forcing “tw”, “twi”, “tweet” etc into a word in order to “Twitterfy” it and look cool or cute.  It doesn’t work. Related to this, when people intentionally do something that they know annoys you because they think it’s funny is also a pet peeve.

6) When Chris gets up with Maia in the morning and doesn’t bother clipping her hair back or putting it in a ponytail so it’s out of her face.

GTT: Not hot. At all.

by Tatiana on January 8, 2010


Today over at Girl Talk Thursday, we’re discussing celebrities that we do not understand the appeal of.

My list:

1) Robert Pattinson.  People, this picture is from the cover of GQ.  If GQ can’t make this dude look good, no one can.

2) Taylor Lautner.  I swear I’m not necessarily biased against Twilight peeps, I just don’t see the appeal.  Maybe if he walked around shirtless with a bag over his head…

3) Sarah Jessica Parker.  She is just not attractive to me.

someone please save that hottie from the goblin woman trying to eat him!

4) Madonna.  GAG GAG GAG.  Put some fucking clothes on, gain a little weight, dress your age, and maybe you’d stand a chance of getting off this list.

5) Kelly Ripa.  She just looks like an orange bobble head doll to me.

I’ve only worked one job that I absolutely hated from the moment I took it until the moment I quit:

Chris and I are really similar when it comes [...]

DRF: Chris’ List of 5

September 4, 2009

I told Chris he had to give me his List of 5 “because other husbands are doing it“.  Funny enough, this worked… and so here it is!
1) Felicia Day

2) Salma Hayek

3) Scarlett Johannson

4) Jessica Biel

There’s no #5.  To be honest, it was hard enough for him to acknowledge a woman other than Felicia Day!
