Good Idea, Bad Idea

I make some good decisions in my life but I also make some really bad ones. Mostly good ones, which is why my life for the most part kicks ass.

Good idea: Moving out of the Yoop to find my way in the world.
Bad idea: Moving in with a 6 year old that makes me feel like a horrible person every time she cries (which is AT LEAST 10 times a night) because I literally want to hit her. And I love this kid to death, I really do. I just can't be around her ever.

Good idea: Finding a job.
Bad idea: Finding a job at That's Amore, where I manage to make about $200 a week serving REALLY old people pasta.

Good idea: Investing $2 in a rice cooker that works fantastically well and gets used all the time.
Bad idea: Investing $300 in a phone that has already quit working and cannot be fixed and even when it did work got used infrequently because I would usually rather poke out my eyes than talk to anyone on the phone.

Good idea: Insuring your $300 phone.
Bad idea: Not insuring your $300 phone. (Guess what...)

Good idea: Having lots of friends in the area that you move to.
Bad idea: Having friends who have girlfriends and therefore are only allowed to hang out with you in a. strictly chaperoned meetings or b. clandestine meetings.

Good idea: Cleaning.
Bad idea: Expecting help with cleaning.

Good idea: Using your time wisely.
Bad idea: Using your time to watch Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of "The Gilmore Girls" in record time.

Good idea: Being a judge in an apple pie bake off.
Bad idea: Eating an entire plate of apple pie with ice cream right after you've eaten a slice of meatloaf, a baked potato, bread and corn.

Good idea: Liking football.
Bad idea: Being a Vikings fan. (This, however, will not stop me, as I'm sure you all know)

Good idea: Posting a blog when you're happy.
Bad idea: Posting a blog when you're annoyed with the world and don't care who knows it.

So you see, I've come up with some bad ideas lately. Yeah, I know, there are far worse decisions I could have made and like I said, my life is good. I'm just having a baaaaaaaaaad day.
