List your first world problems here.

My wine cooler died. I had to replace it ASAP and broke a nail...stocking the new one. Now, I must find the time for a manicure. Ugh!

Feeling shy around family you have not seen in a while

Do any of you feel guilty for your good fortune? Even if you worked for it and was born in N. America it's different than being born say in a S. American slum. Do you ever feel that the right thing to do would be to sell your house and move to a very small house, down size your cars, sell off your jewelry and so forth and donate it to a third world charity? Sell your vacation house? Or maybe donate all your vacation funds and take no more vacations? If not should one feel guilty for having "first world" problems?

Um...no to all the above!

After wearing a brand new pair of pantyhose today, there is a run in them.

Let's see...our house is more modest than you can possibly imagine, our cars are some of the least-expensive models available, my only "real" jewelry is my wedding band, my vacation home only exists in my imagination and we already give more money to charity each year than we spend on vacations. Guilty? Nope. Thankful? Totally.

Early this morning had to wait in line at the grocery store while a customer ahead of me paid by check! I had to stand there for one minute while they filled it out. Outrageous!

That's funny. Last year at our festival of trees, there was a giant snow globe that you could crawl into, they would start a fan and then take a picture as the 'snow' blew around. Big hit = long line up. I heard these two mothers saying "the line up was crazy but the kids had their iPads so they were amused. I'll bet we waited TEN MINUTES!" Wow...don't go to Disneyland, baby.

First world problem today I want to order something on Amazon but I left my purse/credit card by the door and I'm nicely in my recliner in the living room. Waaaaah

I'm crabby because I have to clean up the clutter in my house today in preparation of my house cleaner coming over on Tuesday to clean my house.

That is so us! Our cleaner is coming on the 9th and we have to get this place in order so she can clean it properly. I never thought I would be the type of person to hire a cleaning service but it's not terribly too expensive and it saves us so much time.

I switched toilet paper brands, and the new one has been clogging the toilet when I flush. I try to be grateful that I have indoor plumbing, but I really hate plunging.

Crudité uses an accent aigu, not grave.

Thanks :|

 

[waddup]

Isn't that just a vegetable tray?

Yes. It is exactly that, a veggie tray! Why she kept calling it a "crudites" instead of what we always called it, a "veggie tray" is beyond me.

That is the WORST! I'm usually just lazy enough that I will pay with PayPal at that point rather than go downstairs to get a cc.

Our housekeeper came yesterday and I forgot to put out the 1 blouse I need to have ironed. Now I have to do it myself if I want to wear it before she returns.

I'm also dreading having to get up at 3:30 tomorrow morning even though it means we'll fly halfway across the country and be at Disneyland in time for park opening.

"Check left rear tire pressure" light illuminated in DW's car. Only, the air pressure is fine. So, now I need to figure out how to clear the code or get the sensor fixed.

Land's End changed the fit to their Starfish Collection ever so slightly. Too baggy in all the wrong places. I am not entirely happy with my recent order of house lounging clothes.

No. I don't feel guilty at all. Is that wrong? Perhaps. But I really do work my butt off and I enjoy every last bit of luxury that my family earns.

The struggle is real--LOL.

But seriously, in order for the house cleaner to do her job properly, our junk needs to be put away and it's not her job to know where we keep everything.

I've lost 25lbs in 2 months on a nutritionist supervised diet.... and I've been craving a burger bad

I've been losing sleep wondering why in the world Rick didn't put a zombie-gut smeared pillow case over that kid's head.

Crudite sounds more genteel, posh, or fahncy. Unless you mispronounce it as crud-ite, then you really sound like, um, the opposite of genteel, posh, or fahncy.

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.

I've watched the infomercial in amazement and I really want to get one! Did you only need one to light up the whole house? Did you get it from the number or a place like BB&B? I really want to do this! I'd be ok with nothing, but this should be enough to pacify the kids.
