Welcome to another edition of The Friday Five. This week, we’re discussing First World Problems. Of which I currently have MANY….
1. Shampoo vs Conditioner
I mean, really. What is with the conditioner ALWAYS running out before the shampoo? Why someone doesn’t solve this massive First World Problem by simply making conditioner bottles 4,987 times bigger than shampoo bottles is beyond me.
2. One Direction Concert Tickets
So yesterday Scott managed to make all of Sophie’s dreams come true by grabbing two tickets to the One Direction concert that’s coming to Brisbane next year. And, I have to admit, I was pretty stoked with that news because I know how beside herself Sophie will be when we give her the tickets, but seriously people, they are in what can only be described at The Nose Bleed Section AND they cost a whopping 300 bucks. Yep, we’ve just forked out $300 to climb 2,986 stairs to listen to the dulcet tones of 10,000 girls screaming for a solid two hours. If that isn’t a First World Problem, I don’t know what is. In other, totally unrelated news, I’m fairly sure I’m coming down with some sort of virus that will most likely hit me hard on, oh I don’t know, the 11th Feb next year.
3. Over Eaters Not So Anonymous
Earlier this week, over on Facebook, my good mate Sonia Styling asked for a good snack idea. My reply?
Don’t ask me. I’ve just inhaled a choc chip muffin with a bread roll chaser
Seriously. If I keep this level of carb loading up, I’ll be able to run a marathon four times in a row. Except I don’t run. Ever. So that’s a bit of a two-for-one First World Problem that really does need solving ASAP.
4. Festy Bananas
What is it with bananas? I mean, they sell them at the supermarket when they’re practically green, you take them home and tell the kids to leave them alone for a couple of days while they ripen and approximately 48.5 hours later you have a swarm of fruit flies attacking your festy banana ridden fruit bowl. It is a huge First World Problem and one that I would really love to know how to fix. I usually end up throwing them in my favourite banana cake recipe, but I’ve had to stop making that because all the cake inhaling is causing major jean shrinkage. Also, if you freeze bananas with the intention of adding them to a healthy smoothie for your breakfast and forget to peel them before whacking them in the freezer, it may cause some minor technical issues when you need to actually use them. Apparently.
5. I can’t think of a 5th First World Problem
Which is a First World Problem in itself, obviously. So feel free to help a brain fried blogger out and leave your First World Problem in the comments section below. I would love to read it….
