I appreciate:
- People who take the time to write reviews for online shopping items
- Getting into a bed with freshly washed sheets
- Unexpected pieces of happy mail mixed in with all the rest
- People who stay home when they are sick
- The fact that every time I go to mass, a priest is there to celebrate it
- Adult children who enjoy baking
- The sounds and sights of nature outside my window
But I really don't appreciate:
- The fashion industry's insistence that every woman wants to wear crop tops
- People who immediately call you after you text them
- People who don't stay home when they are coughing, sneezing, and running a fever
- Sticky tabletops in restaurants
- Colds that refuse to respond to hot lemon water with honey
- Hot, sunny places with no sign of shade
- Celebrities who think I care about anything more than their ability to entertain me
Well, there you go. Anything you would like to add?
Happy Wednesday, my friends.
Billie Jo
I agree, 100%!
ReplyDeleteSpot on Billie Jo!!
ReplyDeleteLOVED this, Billie Jo! And as I read down over your lists, I was shaking my head yes to each of them. Have a great remainder to your week, friend. xx
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the heron is one of the things I appreciate.
ReplyDeleteSome of these I can SO relate to, Billie. Jo. I don't get when people go out and about when they are coughing and sick. That's a sure way to get others sick. Doesn't make sense to me. And the sights and sounds of nature outside our window are so wonderful. A dove is cooooing right now. Oh, and celebrities, I'm with you on that. Have a good week, my friend.

I can relate to most of these. I also don't appreciate the people who are coughing their heads off while insisting they aren't contagious. Maybe not, but let's not take a chance. :)
ReplyDeleteThese lists are well thought-out! I agree with everything on them! I do not appreciate people who do not allow for the differing opinions of others. I also do not appreciate people who get in line at stores with more items than the express lane says.
ReplyDeleteSticky tabletops are just gross. As are restaurants that do not bus their tables quickly and efficiently. If we go into a restaurant and there are multiple unbussed tables, we leave. I suppose I shouldn't get started on celebrities. Ugh. Hope you are enjoying a good week!!
ReplyDeleteYes, we all want to wear crop tops after having 4 kids!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! I am with you on every item, especially on the people who don't stay home when sick. Perhaps I am particularly touchy on that point as my kid contracted a stomach bug recently. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on your preferences and dislikes.Can't add to or delete any of the things you listed. Well-said!
ReplyDeleteI've been home with a cold since Sunday. I'm on the upside now. Hot water with lemon and honey? I'm going to try that in just a bit. May I steal your post idea? I think it might be a fun one to write.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Laura
Yes, I agree with you 100% on everything!
ReplyDeleteRight you are!
ReplyDeleteI will add people who think they own the road and will speed up just to block you from merging.
ReplyDeleteAll of these! :)
ReplyDeleteNope, I have nothing to add, that about covers it, smiles. Have a great day friend.
ReplyDeleteThings I don't appreciate...women who wear leggings as pants...with crop tops! Leggings are only appropriate if covered with a very long shirt! Otherwise you're naked with painted on legs. We don't want to see all of that! Good grief. Also, since we share a love for the Bachelor...I don't appreciate when he just starts talking to one girl, then another one wants to "steal him for a second" and the man doesn't have the courtesy to say..."I'll come find you. I just started this conversation." Just once I would love to see this happen!
ReplyDeleteI don't appreciate celebrities who seem to think we want to see them naked or in their underwear on social media.
ReplyDeleteBoth lists are spot on, Billie Jo. The only thing I would add to the don't appreciate list would be wearing pajama bottoms/pajamas to the stores. Why has this become the norm?
ReplyDeleteYou can add yoga pants and onesies to the list.
DeleteI agree with this list wholeheartedly, especially the crop tops! Also not just women, I would prefer my 10 year old not wear a crop top too thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow! Definitely agreed!
ReplyDeleteHot water with lemon and honey tastes good, but has no antiviral properties. The best non pharmaceutical remedies are the antivirals echinacea, oregano oil, elderberry extract, garlic, ginger, vitamin C, D, zinc.
ReplyDeletegurl. I pretty much have the same list on both. crop tops!! argh!! people who go out in public sick !! last week my daughters co-worker thought it was okay to come to work with low grade temps. what? who does this? and yes.. people who call immediately after a text. would love to share this list on FB but I probably would lose some friends. lol.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you pretty much summed it up perfectly lovely Lady! Especially the people that are sick and don't stay home. I keep hand sanitizer in my car and in my purse and try to fight those germs off. I love that you said there is a priest when you go to mass. I know there's still a shortage and we pray each week at mass for more. Blessings to you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hate when I'm at the cafe and someone behind me is hacking up a lung and clearly, they don't need to be here. Fun reading your list. I laughed at the call right after they text you. That's a funny one!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree
