Any readers following me on a regular basis know if it's Wednesday, it's time to Rant and Rave about the past week. Without further adieu, here are my Rants and Raves from the past week:
Rant: I was catching up on the blogs I follow this morning and read a recurring nightmare - Blogger lost people's follow list. I felt their pain because it happened to me last Thursday for a few hours. However, at 8:00 a.m., Blogger did the same nasty thing to me and ERASED ALL MY BLOGS I FOLLOW. Blogger, I'm so hating you at the moment.
Rave: This came from my garden
Rant: Poison Ivy on my wrists also came from my garden.
Rave: I won fabulous awards from Constructive Attitude and Edder which I will post about in a separate entry.
Rave: No crazy people in grocery stores or grocery store parking lots. Oh wait, haven't had to shop this week. I think that is the true Rave -- not grocery shopping.
Rave: My 87 year old father, Spidey Man, wasn't able to scale 2 stories and climb in a window.
Rant: New scale is mean. It doesn't register what I want to see. Damn thing tells me the truth. Go figure. A day of bad eating, okay several, would register on the scale.
Rant: My sister mentioned today that in 6 months, Curling in the Olympics starts up. I told her to shut her pie hole about this. She knows the rules. No talk about Curling in the Olympics until she actually plays it.
That's it for me. Any Rants and Raves you want to share? I would love to hear them. Green Eyed Momster has posted her own R&R Wednesday. Check it out.

What is up with your sister and curling .... YOU are WEIRD sister... ( i know you will read this) XOXOX
I love your rant and rave Wednesday's It is good for my soul. I love those flowers... You grew those?? CRAZY! You could sell those for like $50 and people would pay you... Have a good rest of the week.
Those flowers are gorgeous! And I'm pretty sure you were following me, so ahead and add yourself back on my bandwagon! And if not, then hop on! I'd love for you to be a follower! Happy Wednesday!!!!
Wow - loving those flowers!! But not so much the poison ivy - sorry hun! That sucks!!
Yay for no shopping!!! I haven't gone shopping either...but I really need to. I haven't eaten in days...
"No crazy people in grocery stores or grocery store parking lots. Oh wait, haven't had to shop this week. I think that is the true Rave -- not grocery shopping" I have to second that! Since my store closed, I hate grocery shopping.
Sorry about the poison ivy but the flowers are beautiful!
Regarding your scale, I was PMSing a while back and my post title was I F-ing Hate My Scale. Seriously. Some days I do. I get 3 different readings though within minutes. I always go with the lowest reading!
My list is back today and I copied it so I won't go total psycopath the next time it disappears. When they come back go to manage and copy your list if you want back-up!
I could do a Rant and Rave post every day. Thanks for the idea!
Hugs!!
haha, I like your Rant & Rave idea, it's very entertaining =)
I don't bother with "following". I just use the Google Reader. It's remarkably dependable.
I am ranting at the clock for NOT saying 5pm...
loving the flowers:) the downside of living in an apartment block...no garden so utterly jealous
rave:managing to keep my room clean for more than 3 days since tidying it
rant:the ever changing weather jst be hot dammit!
Actually, I'm a fan of curling in the Olympics...but I shall shut my piehole for several more months....har har.
Those flowers are beautiful!
Yup! keeping your Spidey-Dad on the ground should count as a whole week of raves I'd say...maybe you should start a rating system!!!
Rant - not having enough time to write a damn blog post (and it has been weeks since I posted)
Rant - this effing summer cold I picked up from somewhere
Rant - that my lottery strategy has not kicked in yet
Rave - lottery jackpot up quite high - chance of winning is as slim as ever but a girl can dream
Rave - wearing pretty new shoes
Rave - sunny weekend forcasted! Double fisting cocktails and sitting in the sun
Rave - puppy snuggles all day yesterday when I was home sick. They are the best thing ever!
LMB - love R&R Wednesday!
poison ivy, noooooooo! i'm going into pts... in other words, i'm sorry!
I love your blog. I just found you and I love Wednesdays Rants and Raves... the flowers are beautiful but boo for the poison ivy
Beautiful flowers and you are soo lucky to not have to grocery shop!
Rave: Fabulous new tote bag
Rant: Fabulous new tote bag is very heavy from hauling hard drive and work home every night
When you are dealing with a scale, isn't it amazing how a 4 oz. cupcake translates to 3 lbs on a scale? LOL! I feel your pain!
gasp...i am horrified to read what blogger did to you. that's terrible. did you get it back? or did you have to go refind the blogs you follow?
There's that talk about curling again. I will need to research this.
Go Curling! {*grin*}
I have to agree that the wierd responses from blogger and other Google properties to the twitter DDOS attacks is strange. Hopefully they will get it all straightened out sooner or later. (That is what makes the follow list appear and disappear at seeming random.)
blogger had a lot of problems today....grrr!!!
Rave: Winter Olympics starts in 6 months. Let the curling begin! How many sports could the average Joe Schmoe take up and earn an Olympic medal? THAT's what I'm talkin' about, La La La Leah! Rhythmic gymnastics - same thing - give me a stick and a ribbon, I'm there.
Rant: Sat next to negative person at dinner tonight. Hadn't seen her in a while. Forgot how much I hated her negative vibe. Annoying.
My scale sucks as well. I keep buying new ones but they all tell the same lie.
I think it's just a conspiracy!

I keep a folder on my bookmark page with the blogs I love & follow. This way I don't have to rely on blogger!
XOXO
Sounds like a pretty mild week. Must be those dog days of summer. It does seem to be dragging on - even though I love it.
Okay, I've got my R&R post ready for next week Wednesday. I'll be adding to it here and there throughout the week. Very satisfying :)
Time to get a Reader. Mine has never failed me, except that, like your scale, it always tells the blasted truth, such as, "5 bajillion unread posts."
those flowers are beauuuutifl!
I love curling. You know why? Because it's the only Olympic sport I could participate in that probably wouldn't require a vigorous exercise regime to prepare for it.
Rant: Blogger did that shit to me the other day too!
Rave: I'm only working a half day tomorrow!
Scales are evil... no good can come from owning one. :-)
Love the flowers! :)
I would be so mad if Google lost my followers OR my blog list. Grrr...
Those flowers are beautiful. Bummer about the poison ivy.
I always think it is all kinds of awesome to NOT have to go to the grocery store, too. :)
I had no idea it was rant & rave Wednesday. It's Friday night here - nowhere near as catchy, really.
Rave: Found your blog from Fever. Rave #2: I read "I was told there would be bacon" too!! Rave #3: I will now read you, too. We, like, totally like the same stuff. Score.
LOL I too hate my new scale. Who really wants to know what they weigh anyway?

I know you can buy the ribbon dancer stick things at Oriental Trading as well as your gold medals. =) I am so coming up to CT and we will have a mock Olympics/party.... someday.
LOL about your dad.
