Christmas

Mo hates people who complian that they have too much family, too much to eat and too much to do at Christmas. Enjoy yourself--too many people don't have enough..

Friendly Neighborhood. . .

Other than the transsexual aspect of this, I don't hate being Spidey at all. He always was my fave.

Mo Hates Christmas

O.K. That's not entirely true. I love Christmas. I just hate all the morons out spending money they don't have buying gifts for people they don't like and being hateful to me as a result. I hate pundits moaning about "Happy Holidays" replacing "Merry Christmas." I don't like Happy Holidays any better than they do, but if the centuries have taught us anything it should be that being hateful doesn't win anybody to Christ. I hate people who steal other people's Christmas gifts. And I hate people on the Salvation Army's Angel Tree who ask for gifts way more expensive than I can afford for my kids and the people who buy them.
Peace,
MO

Fun Run? Bah Humbug!

The princess's school had their annual "Fun Run" yesterday. Don't let the name fool you; it's just a euphanism for beg your friends and family for $$$ for the school. It's really annoying. In the first place, I hate the whole educational notion of throw money at it and it will get better. I also hate the whole contest aspect of it. We don't have a big family; we're not well off. Of course my kid's not going to win the TV. Then there's the whole day of actual educational time the kids lose so they can run around a track. And don't get me started on the way the thing was run. We couldn't even count my daughter's laps for the first 10 minutes because her class didn't have the proper cards.
Anyway, you get the point. The fun run ain't fun!

Stupid Sox

I hate the Chicago freakin' White Sox. First of all, why do they spell their name incorrectly--try explaining that one to a first grader. Then there's the whole stupid curse breaking phenomenon. First the Red Sox ( another spelling atrocity) now, unless the Astros can go 4-0,them. And I hate the whole "small ball" crap. A sacrifice fly should be reserved for dire situations only. All I can do is say Go Astros Go! Mo Hates the Sox.

No Duh!

I hate college football--not a big shock for a woman to say, I know. I watch it, occasionally--It's the only way to communicate with the hubby from September til January--but I just don't get it. It kinda makes sense when people root for their alma mater, but I hate my alma mater's team; they've wasted so much cash trying to be division one when they suck. And I really don't understand when people root for schools they have no tie to. And don't get me started on people "picking" games, unless you're in Vegas and going to make some dough off the winners, who cares? Man I'll be glad when February gets here.
