Last night I found out that my cat peed all over the stocking stuffer kitty presents. Now I have to brave the wilds of Petsmart two days before Christmas. I guess she wasn't too happy about my cheap frugal habit of recycling some of kitty presents from last year!

I put up a pic of my new puppy on FB last night, and I'm already getting judged b/c she isn't a rescue pup. yes, I paid for her. yes, I know there are lots of puppies and adult dogs in shelters, and the plan was always to get a rescue pup....but then a coworker of my sister's came to work one day with a bunch of 4-week old puppies and one just kept crawling into my lap. when this one is settled into the new house, I'll bring home a rescue to keep her company. hopefully one around the same age. until then, MYOFB!

That's mean of people to do that. You DID rescue this one, in a sense. If they had gone unwanted, where would they have ended up? And besides, you did not choose this pup...it chose you.

I just wish my BIL would lighten up some. He's a major penny pincher and it's sad to see him berating my sister over her own money that she spends. They have completely separate finances.
obviously not separate enough.

My mother keeps catering to the whims of my stupid, manipulative SIL. Really annoying, but I mainly feel bad for my mom. She either doesn't understand SIL is treating her poorly, or thinks that by putting up with it at least she will get to see her grandson a bit. SIL is a bitch.
As for tomorrow with my family celebration, the Jehovah's Witness side of the family is coming (LONG story). Now that should be interesting.

My boss and I were headed back from lunch when we ran into a panhandler (not the sitting on the sidewalk kind, the gets-right-in-your-face-and-asks-you-for-money kind). My boss didn't have any cash. I don't usually give to panhandlers (especially the aggressive ones) but thought hey, it's Christmas, good will to men and all that. I gave her a dollar.
She looks at it like I handed her a turd and says "What am I supposed to buy for $1?" I said "I think the Subway over there has cookies for less than that." She said "They don't, and I don't like Subway."
Well fuck you too! I should have grabbed my dollar back.

A couple of years back I had one outside of 7-11 yell at me & call me a bytch because I wouldn't give to him. He told me I should give to him instead of spending money on my fancy car.

Interesting. I know BIL eats shellfish so maybe the Mexican JWs don't follow that rule Obviously these are the rebels anyway since they are coming to Christmas dinner.

My husband drives me nuts when it comes to entertaining. He starts messing with the menu, making suggestions for stuff that I've never prepared before (succotash?). Sure, I want Christmas dinner to be the first time I try a recipe. He messed with the menu so much that I almost lost it. I finally said, "Cooking a dinner they will eat really isn't this hard."
Then I had to go purchase a $6 cheese slicer to slice a $1 can of congealed cranberries. What is wrong with a kitchen knife?
Thank God I bought enough makings for two pitchers of mimosas . . . one for them and one for me.

Is there another part to this exercise? I never did watch Seinfeld. After the grievances do we get to wrack our brains for the happy, upbeat shit in life? I've got a grievance. You've never watched Seinfeld?!

You've never watched Seinfeld?! I've watched a couple of episode. Doesn't do much for me. I rarely watch much mainstream television and even more rarely sitcoms. NCIS and Castle are more my speed.
