  9. I enjoyed reading your likes and dislikes. And reading all the comments too. What a fun way to share.

    I like: art created by pre-schoolers, folding laundry, sunny weather, coffee and muffins from quaint little coffee shops, exercise, spending time with my family at home.

    I don't like: the taste, texture or smell of eggs, being cold, driving, immodest fashions, politics of any kind.

    Don't like: driving in a snowstorm, windy days, having a dirty car, being hot and sweaty, rude people, drama and conflict, shopping (especially at the mall)

  12. 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!

  13. This 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.

  14. I'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.

  15. Lots 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!

  17. 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.)

  18. Yep - 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!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I 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!
