I Like...But I Don't Like...

 I like summer, but I don't like being in the sun.

Or being hot.

Or sweaty.


I like fresh sheets on my bed, but I don't like removing the old ones.

Or washing them.

Or putting them back on.


I like ordering things online, but I don't like all the boxes they come in.

Neither does Steve.

At all.


I like making plans, but I don't always like following through with them.

Sometimes I do.

And then I am glad.


I like ice cream, but I don't like milkshakes.

Weird, I know.

Go figure.


I like reading books.

And novels.

And poetry.

And blogs.


I like being home.

I like not being busy.

I like wearing a housedress.

I like creating a cozy place for the people I love.

I like being me.


The end.


Happy Wednesday, my friends!

  1. I can certainly relate to many of these things....The sun!! I do not like being HOT. and oh my goodness..how I love clean sheets!! Just something about crawling into a comfy bed with clean sheets. And would you believe, that I am not an ice cream eater. I know..crazy isn't it. Have a good ol' comfy kind of day Billie Jo.

  3. I hear 'ya, friend, about the boxes that the packages come in! We do recycle the cardboard, but my favorite is when things come in bags instead. :) Have a wonderful week. xx

  6. What a cute post! And i love your new header. I like shopping, but don't do much in the summer because of what you don't like...the sun and heat. I love washing the sheets but HATE putting them back on.

  7. It looks great here, cozy just like your home.
    I agree completely with all your likes and dislikes except I like milkshakes and not ice cream!

  9. I don't even own a house dress. :)
    Freshly washed sheets and then hung outside are one of my favorite smells.:)
    I like those busy days when I get a lot done. I do like my down time too, so I can read and knit.

  11. We share most of the same likes. However, I do like ice cream shakes. Otherwise I'm right there with you on all of them. :-) Have a lovely Thursday my friend.
    Blessings and hugs,

  12. Love the new blog header! 1 and 2 are definitely me plus the last one. I do like milkshakes, but I haven't had one in a few years. Hmmm! Happy Thursday, Billie Jo!

  13. I love baking in the sun, but not if it's too hot out. Clean sheets, YES. Stripping, washing, remaking, blah. If I eat ice cream, it's soft serve twist with chocolate and vanilla, preferably with rainbow sprinkles on a cone. Mint chocolate chip or mint cookie crumble, mmm. Milkshake: nah. Good, but not my first choice. I don't mind being busy sometimes, but I do love the downtime too...especially waking up early and the birds are singing and the world is quiet...

  15. Yes, yes and yes, Billie Jo!! Me too. The days I stay in my nightgown all day I declare as "International Pajama Day". It's truly a thing, ya know... *giggle* ~Andrea xoxo

  16. What a fun idea this post is! I like washing my hair but until it gets just a little longer, I don't like styling it.

  17. I prefer warm spring to summer. I like clean sheets but I don't have the energy to change them, my husband and I do it together. I'm sending boxes from packages again. I like ice cream but I shouldn't eat it because I have diabetes. I can't drink milkshakes. I like reading but because of my poor eyesight I had to limit it. I wish I had free time but right now it's impossible. Hugs BillieJo.

  18. Oh, I can relate so much ... except I do like milkshakes. :-)

  19. I agree with most of it. Except the milkshake thing! And I do like being in the sun, but not roasting. I am a tender red-head, so I should avoid it entirely -- but I like being outside so much. And you have that lovely shoreline...

  20. This was fun to read! I agree with lots of these.

  21. I like many of these things too, Billie Jo. The "washing sheets" got to me because I just finished washing sheets and blankets for Jess' visit, and it's a lot of work, isn't it? I don't order too many things on-line, but I don't like all the packaging it comes with. I like being home, and I like not being busy. Oh, we are so much alike, my friend. ; )
