Raising the bar and bar raisers, if this is you-STOP IT! your making the rest of us looks bad.

So a friend and I were talking about people who raise the bar and how we wish they would stop. You see when I got married I did not understand all the rules of adult hood, I still don't. It was scary to suddenly be thrown into the world of adult hood over night. I was 19 and a HALF when I got married (that half is important) I was naive and a little selfish. Of course I did not think this. I thought I was quite mature and responsible. I just wasn't ready for the changes and expectations of being all grown up. one day I was just a teenager and the next day I was married and therefore considered an adult. I didn't understand all the unspoken rules of this new grown up world. For example, I did not know after opening all of the billion and two gifts that we got for our wedding that I was supposed to take notes of who got me what and then send them a thank you card. So I didn't send any for like a year until somebody clued me in that I was supposed to do this. So I tried my best a year later to send people thank you cards. So my friend and I were thinking, who in the heck starts all these traditions. I am not saying that when someone gets me a gift I am not thankful, I just did not realize this was expected. Who are these bar raisers? IS IT YOU? if it is repent now and forsake your evil ways! I had like twenty examples of how people raise the bar and make life harder for the rest of us, but I can't think of any of the other ones just now. just had to get that off my chest- anyways off subject, but I don't know if any of you know that it is shark week on Discovery channel and I have been watching all the true stories about people who get attacked, they had one on about the story that inspired Jaws. I have been terrified all week. You couldn't get me to go into a kiddie pool right now. I hate sharks.
