Day 18- "I hear ya!"

You know the "Easy" button for Staples, well, I want to make a button that when you push it, it says, "I hear ya!". For some reason I feel in love with this saying today. It actually got me through today. I am draggin and in a pissy mood. (They used to call me "Pissy Missy"- wait, I think they still do) And I owe this brilliant saying to my colleague Pete. (Yes, Pete for those of you that work with me). We were in a meeting this afternoon, (one of I think 7 I had today) and we were talking about when someone comes up to you and starts bitchin and moanin' - what does Pete do when someone does this to him? He chimes right in with them, nodding his head and says, "I hear ya!". LOVE IT! It makes them think you are right there listening to them, but in reality, you are saying, "shut up and get the hell away from me"- or "I hear ya"- interpretation: "stop bugging me and go away". Sorry Pete if I ratted you out here. LOL
But I am using this saying solely for myself today. Because watch out...I think it's PMS time- interpretation: "Prepare for Melissa Syndrome". :) I am really tired, grumpy and HUNGRY today. I needed this saying when I woke up this AM- here's how I could have used this saying today.

• Third time I hit the snooze and Fred is pushing me out of bed: "I hear ya!"
• The car that I buzzed around this AM in rush hour traffic and he honked at me: "I hear ya!"
• My stomach growling: "I hear ya!"
• My lupus triggering a mini-flare in my right wrist today: "Dammit, I hear ya!"
• My heavy eyelids in my 4th meeting today: "I hear ya!"
• For some reason, craving my mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies: "I HEAR YA!"
• Morgan barking at Bogey because he has his squeaky toy: "I hear ya buddy!"
• My stomach growling again: "I hear ya"

So you catch the drift- this could be a drinking game when I am off the wagon! It's kinda like in my favorite Thursday night show, The Office, when someone says a funny line and someone jumps in and finishes it with, "that's what she said!". I love stupid stuff like this. Beats playing slug bug, or beer pong.

Any whoo, now if I accidentally say this to you, don't think that I mean it. I will probably forget that I like this saying by Monday. But for today, it's mine and I HEAR YA! Have a great night! I am off to consume a yummy chicken breast, rice and corn on the cob and then onto my Hog for a night ride with Fredly. Until tomorrow..... Zai Jian (Good-bye in Chinese, Mandarin)
