List your first world problems here.

I wanted to start a diet after Thanksgiving, but I have so many leftover that I just keep eating them. Then a coworker brought in cookies and I ate 4 of them!

Also, I bought a house cleaning voucher off of Living Social. She is really nice, and is trying to talk me into going on her regular schedule. I just want my free cleaning, so I have to pretend I'm going to sign up with her until after I get my free cleaning. I'm already dreading the "break up."
 
I'm fasting for my colonoscopy tomorrow (jello, broth, and popsicles, oh boy...) and there was free PIZZA at work today (and right across the hall, so I've gotten to smell what I can't have...).

That's three dimensions of first wold problems: 1)choosing not to eat, though food is available. 2) They;re going to do what with a camera? and 3) Free food?
 
I want to go to Paris for a Christmas weekend, but flights are cheaper than the train. Only it's so much easier to take the train! Customs is faster, you can move around, the station is easier to get to than the airport... *sigh*

Also, my new dining set is not the same shade of wood as my sideboard. It's close, but it doesn't match.

Woe is me, I tell you!
 
My favorite bakery in town is closing and I feel sorry for myself at all the delicious items I'll never taste again. They close on 12/24 so I see a few road trips in the near future.
 

Garage door opener function on car sun visor suddenly stopped working. Replaced dead battery in hand-held device and it isn't working. Need hand-held to reset car visor button. Sigh
 
Drats! My first post of my third world problem has grown! Just noticed today so.. too late to just wipe it off, while shaking my hair dye some of it christened my wood cabinets. Any advice appreciated. We've tried goo gone, and an oil based cabinet cleaner with no luck.. sigh.

I think there's naturally white hair in my immediate future!

Maybe baking soda/water paste will help?

We bought that Star Shower laser-light thing that goes outside and lights up the whole outside of your house. Come on, you know you've watched the infomercial. We're lazy and don't want to hang lights outside anymore, but hey, we're still festive.

The thing has a solar panel on it and is supposed to automatically turn on at nightfall. DH had to actually WALK outside last night to turn the stupid thing on because it never came on by itself.

Worried I will be board on my two hour flight because I got rid of my books when I moved to deciliter and the plan is so small I am scared they won't let me use my phone on airplane mode
 
I can't decide where to go on vacation.

DH decided to buy a blazer jacket for himself today even though I bought him the exact same one back in October and have been hiding it since then for Christmas.
 
My Starbucks venti peppermint mocha latte got cold because my office was 57 degrees today.
 
We have too many birthday parties, holiday parties and various other celebrations with family and friends over the next few weeks. It is going to be a total nightmare - absolutely EXHAUSTING, and I'm not sure how I'll get through it.

Oh now THAT hurts! Maybe go with the peppermint mocha frappuccino tomorrow, then it won't matter.
 
I have a list of a bunch of phone calls that I have to return to various friends. I did nothing today and thought about making those calls but just stayed on the couch instead.
I only recently put my summer clothes away and now I have to take (some) of them out to pack for a cruise we're going on on December 28th.
 
Between the two of us, DH and I will soon own four houses. (About to inherit two from my parents; not finalized yet.) We just can't make up our minds which one to make our full time home. Keep them all and rent out three? Sell them all and buy something totally new? Spend one season in each? It's really difficult, I tell ya.

Oh no. But on the bright side, at least you know you made the right choice. :)
 
I'm sitting here at my very flexible, decently paying job with enough free time to have read this entire thread in one sitting. Take pity on me.............P
 
My husband replaced our burnt out christmas lights. The store only had red and yellow left. No problem until we plugged them in and realized that apparently all the burned out bulbs were the blue and green ones. My house looks like McDonalds.

I laughed out loud and made the dog jump! I know EXACTLY what you mean...

What about going to the library and borrowing a few books to make the flight easier for you? If that's not an option, buy a book at the airport or a bookstore before hand and then donate it to an old folks home when you get home. That way, you still get to read and declutter at the same time :)
