Fun, enjoyed reading the things you like and don't like. I'll play along a bit :)
ReplyDeleteLike: Sunshine, warm weather, fresh flowers, going out for breakfast, conversations with preschool kids, the color green, driving
Don't like: freezing cold, too many cloudy days in a row, rude/mean people, olives, crowded stores, waiting in line, most canned fruit
I like most things you like, but I don't like swimming or snowstorms! I agree with your dislike list too, except I love all things mint and all biscuits. And I really don't like floral candles either!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun post. I think I'll have to do it this week or next. We are very compatible with the exceptions of liking January snowstorms and coffee and disliking comedies.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the floral scented candles and being hot and sweaty. Yuck! But biscuits? Biscuits? Come on now, that's just wrong. Who doesn't love a good biscuit slathered with butter? My grandma's homemade biscuits were delicious. We had biscuits and gravy for dinner tonight. We looove biscuits. And I love 70's music. I was a teenager in the 70's so lots of good memories.
ReplyDeleteLots on your "like" and "don't like" list are SO ME:) As I get older, some candle scents really make me nauseous. I enjoy a roaring fire in the Winter and sitting by the pool in the Summer. Two of my favorite things:) I don't like scary movies or movies that make me cry! I like hot coffee but only in the morning. I like biscuits but only with Karo syrup:) And 70s music takes me back to some really fun days. OK, I'll stop. Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

I appreciate getting to know you like this, and I agree with you for the most part on everything! (I do like a biscuit though occasionally.)
ReplyDeleteYep - we must be soul sisters as my list would be identical to yours! Are there Twilight Zone marathons on??? I must watch! Take care sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the twilight zone shows years ago. I like snow, rainbows, walking on the beach, eating anything chocolate, hot tea and homemade cookies and biscuits, cameras and a house to live in! What I don't like is coffee, freezing fog, loud dogs, vehicles who have bass loud music...can't hear the music, just the loudness of bass! ARG! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThings I like: snow days, rain storms, baking bread, sitting by a rushing creek, planning for holidays, cats, good creamer for my coffee, poetry
ReplyDeleteThings I don’t like: seafood, bright sunny days (for real!), feeling rushed, waking up early
