GTL? Who cares!

Bare with me, I'm about to prove a point...

Every night I set my alarm for some weird time...like 6:23. I pick this time because 6:20 seems too early to wake up and 6:30 is too late. Does this make sense? Not really, but it doesn't matter anyways, because I usually wake up before it even goes off.

I lay in bed and Memphis licks my face, stretches out on her back, and I rub her tummy for a few minutes while Austin becomes coherent and then wants in on the action.

I pick up my cell, check my emails, check facebook, sometimes twitter, put the phone down and then get on the computer and check all the same things again as if they might have changed in the last 3 minutes. I waste time that I shouldn't playing bejeweled or slots on facebook, will myself to stop, decide if I need to take a shower before work or if it can wait the 2 hours until I drop the kids off and come back home.

I go into the kitchen and open the first of many Diet Cokes of the day...maybe I'll eat a yogurt or some cereal or pick at something...maybe not.

I get dressed, I take the dogs out, I get in the car and talk to my mom the entire drive to work, while swearing at no less than 3 shitty drivers on my way.

Are you bored yet? Do you care? Do any of the inane details of my everyday life matter to you?

So here's my ranting point of the day:

There are several people on my facebook that update their statuses 36 times a day with this kind of stuff.

"I'm at the gym"

"Gym time- doin' abs"

"I'm drinking my breakfast shake"

"Got the kids off to school"

Now don't get me wrong...every now and then, fine...but EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Look, if you post that you are at the gym every morning, by the 386th time I KNOW you are at the gym. So do 386 other people. You don't have to tell us every single day because we KNOW.

If you tell me and your other 386 fb friends that you drink a breakfast shake every morning, you don't have to keep repeating it 3 months later...WE GET IT.

Now, clearly I ought to have better things to do myself than rant about this, but OMG, while I was at the gym this morning drinking my breakfast shake after I dropped the kids off at school, it annoyed the shit out of me. ;)

If you have something interesting, funny, worthwhile, sad, whatever that you want to post, cool...but for God's sake, stop posting the pointless minutia of your days. Nobody cares.
