A continuation of problems that aren’t really problems. Do you have running water? Clean food? Do you generally live day-to-day without fearing for your life? Check, check, check?
Some tongue-in-cheek cartoons a few days before we take a day to reflect on all the things that make us truly grateful.
Yeah, I know. A little too mushy. *wipes lipstick off your cheek* MUH-OMMMM!

You know when a company has a really good product, and then they CHANGE the formula of that really good product? Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, I’m talking to you, darling. (The new formula has glitter. Which is fine, but I really don’t need flocks of tween girls coming up to me and asking why I’m so tan since I’m obviously a vampire.)

I can’t update my status. I can’t upload a new picture. I can’t stalk every boy I’ve ever had a crush on since third grade. I can’t RSVP to the 32nd Ugly Sweater or Festivus Party I’ve been invited to. Sigh. Let me listen to Adele and eat as many brownies as I can during the chorus.

Note that I used a dog and not a cat for this next picture. (“Noted, Roo. Noted.”)

Tell me you understand. Pinterest is making me resent my way-less-than-Pinterest-cool wedding. And now I want to throw a really expensive fancy party every six months or so. “NO JACK DO NOT TOUCH THAT STACK OF DOILIES FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY!”
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
But I already know how to duplicate Kardashian hair and apply blush on dry winter skin…!

So I can totally relate to the whole Pinterest one since I almost want to have another kid just so I can create a “Pin Board” for cute nursery ideas.

Thanks for making me laugh at what I normally get so jealous about- wedding done, kids grown… nothing to pin! Maybe I should start a retirement board!

I am NOT married but I can still dream of having an all-out pinterest worthy wedding. Then, after my wedding, UBER PINTEREST will arrive and I will feel one-upped.
Have you ever seen wedding gawker? Same deal.
[Reply]
First of all. Until I saw your post I thought it was “first word problems” & thinking as long as your kid didn’t say fuck it shouldn’t be a problem yay?
and second pinterest wedding boards make my stabby that i got married in a courthouse.
ps. clever idea for a post. have you copywritten it yet? i may have to bust a cap & steal this shizz.
[Reply]
So funny!! I’m with ya on the wedding/Pinterest thing. I pretty much want to do my wedding,baby showers, and all birthday parties over again. And maybe take some engagement pictures too with our hands making a little heart. . .
[Reply]
First of all you are quite possibly the best artist I’ve ever seen. You should sell your pictures…you’d be rich and able to afford the “Green Tea Spa Pedicure”.
Second of all I totally feel you on this one (not in a creepy molesty way…just to clarify). I bought my BlackBerry Bold and was crusing along loving it for like the 1st 6 months…not regretting giving up my BlackBerry Curve to upgrade. Then the turds went and did a complete interface update. It completely changed the way I interacted with it and NOT in a good way. I now hate the phone and am stuck with it for at least another 6 to 8 months. It made me want to find the people who thought the update was a good idea and throw my BB right at their heads. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it people! *sigh*
[Reply]
I totally agree about pinterest!!
and I love, love, love these comics, and hope you’ll make lots more! :)
[Reply]
Mason Jars everywhere!!! Hahaha. Too, too true.
[Reply]
LOL! I am so giggling. Love it.

Fantastic non-cheese, non-boring, be thankful Thanksgiving post!
That said, being in a waiting room with nothing to read sucks donkey balls.

And by non-cheese, I mean non-cheesy. Although how awesome would it be if every blog post did include a little appetizer tray of cheese?
[Reply]
Ha! The pinterest one really got to me. I wish I could just get married again. Would you think I was weird if I started my “dream wedding” board knowing I’ll never do it again? ;)
