Doug suggested I change up the picture to make sure no one is missing additional "miserable" lessons. We are on page 19 (of 70) already!!! I hope you didn’t miss the 8 other ways to be miserable.
When people point fingers at someone else, they should remember that three fingers are pointing back at them. – Old saying
If you could kick the person responsible for most of your troubles, you wouldn’t be able to sit down for six months. – Unknown
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. – George Bernard Shaw

Miserable people are medalists at the annual Blame Games. They are world-class winners in whining, bronze medalists in buck-passing, and victors in victimhood. They hurdle their classes and blame their teachers for their grades; they javelin their jobs and blame their genes; they backstroke through their blessings and blame their background. They say, “It’s the school’s fault, the government’s fault, the weather’s fault, my birth-order’s fault, my bed’s fault. (I got up on the wrong side of it).” They run an “it’s not my fault” marathon, and at the closing ceremony they close their minds. Their national anthem says, “o’er the land of the free (free from responsibility) and the home of the blame.”

Hi April!
Don't worry about missing the shower. Since I can't say I've never missed something because I forgot, I won't hold it against you I promise!
Although, the best reason so far that someone's told me that they missed it was because they had a pregnancy melt down.
She had the gift and everything but was running a few minutes behind. Then she realized it was in Natomas and cried forever because she realized if she came she was going to be late. Then when she finally stopped crying she had an "I just spent an hour crying face" so she just didn't come.
I think it's hillarious because when I was pregnant with Parker I would cry all the time because I felt fat in my maternity clothes and I thought people would stare at me. I can't tell you how many Sunday's I told Andrew, "I hate that you did this to me and I'm never going to church again!"
Pregnancy is an unspoken form of paranoia. LOL
Thanks Autumn! Man, hormones are crazy aren't they!! I was checking what time the shower started on the 22nd and, well, it didn't! :)
Lol...I have to say that I seriously love these How to be Miserable posts. I am learning a lot. From a lot of people too. :) I love the quotes at the top. I guess I wont be sitting down for a while.
Hey, the name of the website is blurb.com. I have heard really good things about it. I haven't used it yet, but it is on my todo list! :)
