Friday Flip-Offs, 6/4 Edition

This is Friday-Flip Offs, the place to rid yourself of all that random annoying crap that seems to worm it's way into your life and fester like a boil just below the surface waiting to explode.

Gigi at Kludgymom is the brains behind this brilliant idea. Please stop by and give her some love. She's got some great FFOs to read. No one does it quite like her.

So, without further ado, let's begin this VIRTUAL DETOX. Ahem...

To my laptop that has been nothing but a possessed piece of crap since day one... your black screen of death couldn't have come at a worse time, but you are replaceable and I refuse to let you ruin another day. Flip Off!

To that nasty guy at the gym showing everyone body parts that should be hidden away... EEEWWW!! You are lucky I hadn't eaten much because I probably would have upchucked all over you. Flip Off. (And get some longer shorts why don't ya.)

To myself for packing in such a rush that I forgot to pack a curling iron and essential hair accessories for our trip. Where's your head girl? Flip off!

And lastly,

To my blog that has made me miss 2 weeks of work-outs and let my house go to crap... monopolizing entirely too much of my time. Your days are over. Flip off!

Ah, It never ceases to feel amazing. Now it's YOUR turn. What is bugging you these days? If you are in need of a great vent, try Friday Flip-Offs. It's free and so therapeutic and you won't be sorry!

  10. You can't flip off your own blog, can you? LOL! Hey ... did you get the name "Beautiful Mess" from the lyrics to "Better Than a Hallelujah"? I really listened to that song today while I was cleaning house and one of the best lines uses that phrase ... "what a beautiful mess we are."

  11. I'm with Beth. You can't flip off your blog. I like it here and won't tolerate you treating one of my favorite blogs this way! lol As for the guy at the gym with the daisy dukes...flip off! Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. Yuck!

  13. Ha! I love how you can flip yourself off and your blog in the same post!
    I'm with you on the essential hair supplies....couldn't enjoy a trip or getaway without them, hate to admit.
    Don't give up the blog, though! I'll admit there aren't enough hours in the day, and this past week I didn't post for at least 9 days in a row....

  20. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog. Yes, the oil spill is very devastating! I hope I can keep up with the Friday Flip Off ha ha. I can relate to a lot of these posts and that makes me feel good.

  21. I'm so looking forward to next Friday's flip-offs I could start right now. Who's the chump who's listed as numbers 27 AND 28 on the blog hop top x list? Yup, that would be me. Is there a way to delete one? Chock that one up as another humiliating screw-up for me. Duh. :\ I'm getting into this, why? Oh, and pleased to meet you!

  22. So the guy at the gym? I'm totally picturing that Friend's Episode where the guy comes into the coffee house and you can see his junk? He's dating Phoebe I think.
    Urp.
