Holy Shit, I'm Older Than WHO?!?!?!

So I was looking for some info online today and saw a headline that read "Where Are They Now: Ultimate TV Moms". I started clicking through for S and Gs. I quickly noticed a disturbing trend in the article. 

Joanna Kerns was 32 when she entered my TV world on Growing Pains.

Judith Light and Meredith Baxter were 35 when they came on the scene on Who's the Boss and Family Ties respectively.

Phylicia Rashad was 36 when the Cosby Show debuted.

Alley Mills was 37 when she became Kevin Arnold's TV mom on The Wonder Years.

I'm 40.....and more than a half. I am a full 3-8 years older than my favorite TV moms were when they were my favorites!!!! Do you remember how "mom" they looked? How definately NOT in their 30s they seemed? How grown-up with their shoulder pads, or "done" hair, or teen-age children who are much older than me? Is that me now?

FFFUUUHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Things That Are Tripping My Trigger Today

 1) My new St. Patrick's Day mug. I searched for a good four years for the perfect St. Patrick's Day mug and now, it's mine! It's even cooler in this pic because it's flanked by Cholula which is excellent on EVERYTHING and my electric pencil sharpener because I'm old school when it comes to my pencils!

 

My lucky Leprechaun mug

 

2) My new bomb ass Coach that I got last night at a silent auction fundraiser for our area women's shelter. A new purse for me at a really, really, really, really good price, and 100% of my donation going to women who are working hard to rebuild their lives. Win-win!

 

 

3) This tea towel embroidery pattern I'm totally going to buy and make for someone for Christmas. How can I not?!?!

 

Dog faced girl tea towel awesomeness!

 

 4) Animal shaming sights are hysterical. Ghostbusters kicks ass. The marriage of the two is epic.

 

Gate keeper or key master?

5) T minus 36 days and counting until Game of Thrones is back on!!!

 

Tyrion and Cersei

What's tripping your trigger right now?

There Are Two Kinds Of Toilet Paper People

I'll bet you thought this was going to be an over/under debate. Nope, there's no debate. It's over. Otherwise you're just wrong!

 

This is a whole different kind of difference. When the toilet paper roll is almost empty but NOT EMPTY at my work, I'll grab another roll and sit it on the back of the toilet or on the sink next to the toilet for when the roll is actually empty. That make me one kind of toilet paper person.

 

Then, there are the "others".

 

These are the people who take the now empty roll off of the wall, put the new roll on, and get all pissed because you didn't throw away the old roll, which wasn't empty when you left it!

 

Seriously.....empty TP :)?!?!?

 

So one of two things happened:

1) The note writer finished the roll but it wasn't quite enough for one potty break, so I should have thrown away a tiny but perfectly serviceable amount of toilet paper, and this was a note writeable offense.

2) There are three women in our office with access to this bathroom. The roll wasn't finished by me. I know the hand-writing on the note so it wasn't her. Soooo, I guess the third party could have finished the roll and not replaced it.

 

BUT....

 

The note is to "ladies", so I've been attacked and must defend myself.

Plus, there's another level to the defense of myself in this instance. I've been sick for days. Actually went home one of the days I felt so hammered horse-shitty. At no point do I remember taking my yuck out on anyone. Just sat over here, in my own germs and misery. Note writer came to work sick today, vocally and whiny sick. Then took the time to leave the bathroom, get paper and a pen, and write the note before heading home to get better.

 

But that's a whole different "two kinds of people" story............................
