when i’m grumpy i deflect.

Sometimes I get grumpy.


.…when it’s cold and there’s no snow.
….when I’m emotional and having girl time.
….when I’m hungry and get all hypoglycemic.
….when I get home late & have to go grocery shopping….
 because we have no food.
….when I have to go grocery shopping period.


When I’m grumpy I don’t feel like blogging.
When I don’t feel like blogging you get random quotes.
But, not just any quotes….really good ones :).
Better than my grumpy ranting. 
Trust me.
Poor Craig already had to listen to it.
Moving on….


These quotes are courtesy of the lovely

I love their Facebook and Twitter updates, because they post some of the best quotes!  Here are some of my favorites…..

  1. We have snow here in Seattle. It just started and it’s so exciting. I’m from New Zealand so i never get to see snow!

  2. Ah yes, grumpiness, I know it well! haha

    My favourite quote that gets me through a lot of stuff is “This too shall pass”. And it’s very true. Have a lovely Wednesday! ~Siobhan xo

  3. “Who, being loved, is poor?” – Oscar Wilde

  4. These are two of my most favorite quotes and also double as personal mantras:

    “Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.”
    -Margaret B. Runbeck

  10. love it! i love the earring one : )
    and i hate when it’s freezing but there isn’t even any snow…boo!

  11. i am sorry you are feeling grumpy! i get that way far more often than i should. but i think there is nothing wrong with it considering the circumstances. I love you sweet girl! i hope you are doing fantastic! i miss you!

  12. Ha! When I’m grumpy, I remember the mantra of Avenue Q – the musical…”it’s only for now.” Gets me through pretty much anything!

  13. When it’s 20 degrees outside and you haven’t reached above freezing in like a week it should snow. It did this weekend, but now it’s mid week and still freezing. It’s supposed to snow on Thursday night and they said lower temps…how can it get any lower than 5 at night? Bleh. Love the quotes, especially the Elise de Wolf one.

  14. The coldest winter I’ve ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Do things smaller and finer. And, of course my champagne quote on my page!! Funny I am a funk this week as well … this last one was not a quote but I guess it could be! XO!!!

  15. Here’s to an end to grumpiness and a toast to great quotes! I especially love the Ives St. Laurant one!

  16. Good quotes! I added some to my quote book. One of my favorites is from the Peanuts comic strip (Lucy speaking): “All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”

  17. “A photographer gets people to pose for him. A Yoga instructor gets people to pose for themselves.” – T. Guillemets

    “You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” – C.S. Lewis

  18. Oy, I hate grumpy days, too. The good news is that they pass. This is my favorite quote:

    “Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

  19. I really enjoyed the Mark Twain quote.

    I’m the opposite because grocery shopping is my fave!

  20. That Mark Twain quote always makes me laugh! good pull!! LOVE IT

  22. That Audrey Hepburn quote is AMAZING. I’ve never heard that one before.

    I guess I should have seen that as a sign when my college boyfriend gave me the (literally) the cheapest “old lady” earrings he could find at Tiffany’s, when I said that I didn’t like them and picked out a much cheaper, fun pair at a boutique.

    Hope you get un-grumpy. xo Lauren

  23. i love quotes! I write them down in a pocket journal i keep with me everywhere i go and now that Elsie de Wolfe one is my new fave!!!

    “A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.”

    -John A. Shedd

  24. I love these! Mark Twain is hilarious. You should come visit New Hampshire, we just got buckets and buckets of snow.

    I have a bazillion favorite quotes, but here’s one I love lately: “Be careful lest in casting out the devils you cast out the best thing that’s in you.” -Nietzsche

    Hoping your grumpiness dissipates soon!

  25. No snow has been such a let down. Were going to SunRiver today and I was all excited to go over to snow and I guess it’s raining there too! Ugh.
    That Mark Twain quote is great! Some of my favorites are-

    “Every Man dies, not every man really lives.” ~Braveheart, William Wallace

    “I take what God gives, and I give what God takes, all with a big smile!” ~Mother Theresa

    “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better then your dreams” ~Dr. Seuss

    “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” ~C.S. Lewis

  26. Without a doubt, some of the best quotes!

    My favorite:

    “Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
    Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and
    making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.
    Delicious ambiguity…”
