The Inaugural Post

It's true. I've started yet another blog--as if one wasn't enough to somehow satisfy my craving for attention (I'm kidding). However, this blog was born for one purpose and one purpose only: to chronicle my daily encounters with the world's most ridiculous people (and let me tell you, I've met some real gems). Before the shenanigans ensue, let me state a few things:

1. The older I get, the more I realize we are surrounded by less than intelligent people (this seems to be a unifying and universal experience among friends and family alike). On a daily basis, I (or my husband, for that matter) meet/cross paths with/drive behind at least one person who I just want to take by the shoulders and shake...hard. Sometimes I even want to use swear words, but refrain because as my mother would say, "I know better."

2. Please know that as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I whole-heartedly believe that God loves every single person perfectly and impartially. However, I also firmly believe that our loving Heavenly Father has a sense of humor and at times must look down at this vast planet and all its inhabitants and shake his head in disbelief as we exercise our agency. Am I right? Am I?

3. This blog is not intended to degrade or "tear apart" other individuals...just their behavior.

4. In no way do I intend this blog to be utilized as a pedestal or "soap box" (ok, maybe a soap box). I AM NOT PERFECT NOR DO I CLAIM TO BE. I do not look upon myself as "higher up" or "better" than those individuals I will relate stories about.

5. I love to laugh. I do it all the time. In fact, I believe this is why my husband fell in love with me. Sometimes, I think said husband and I laugh too much at some not-so-appropriate moments, but alas, that's why we're married...because we can laugh at life...together.

6. Please feel free to leave your own personal "encounters" with choice members of society in the comments section of each post. I'll re-post my favorite anecdotes for review by my readers (all 3 of you).

7. And yes, I am aware that I have too much time on my hands. Leave me alone.

8. People really are unbelievable sometimes, aren't they? I mean, really?
