Things I Like And Things I Don't

I Like

  • Dipping McDonald's fries in Chick-fil-A sauce
  • Freshly sharpened pencils on my desk
  • Raspberries and blackberries in the fridge 
  • Setting up a new month in my planner
  • Looking up people from old game shows to see how their lives turned out
  • Watching old game shows like Card Sharks and Match Game 76

  • A big bowl of white rice with butter, salt, and pepper
  • Waking up every day knowing I will soon have hot coffee with vanilla creamer
  • Showering and putting on fresh pajamas after swimming
  • Snoopy ambience videos on YouTube



But, I Don't Like

  • Mint mixed with any other flavor
  • Piles of unsorted dirty laundry 
  • Walking, driving, or being outside for any length of time, January through March
  • Drinking warm tap water that has been sitting in a glass for too long
  • The person who decided crop tops are the one thing every woman wants to wear
  • Washing my hair after I go to the salon because it won't ever look this good again
  • Trends that everyone jumps on just because they are the "In" thing, ex Protein
  • The dreaded "drop-in" because I need time to prepare for socializing 

How about you, my friends?

Happy Wednesday!

  1. Gosto do café ao levantar, sentir o cheiro do café sendo coado pela manhã, e também não gosto de surpresa para encontros, perfeito!

  2. I like old game shows too, but never thought to look those people up.
    I have raspberries and blueberries in my fridge most of the time. I love them with cottage cheese.
    Mint! I love it, and unlike you I like it with most anything.
    I'm also good with drop in visitors. They can't expect much if they just drop in. However I don't want them dropping in if I'm already in my PJ's! :)

  3. I’m right there with you on so many! Drop ins stress me out, as do people who text and tell me they’re just going to swing by - that counts as a drop in to me = stress! I would probably also add people who don’t take our grandmother’s advice - Just because you think it, doesn’t mean you need to say it. On a plus side, I love the smell of lilacs and hyacinths, and a pink drink from Starbucks with strawberry sweet cream, cold foam. Cozy up my friend - it has been the best winter ever for that!

  4. I will hone in on The Dreaded Drop In. My late mother-in-law was good at this, but I can't decide which I hated more, when she gave me like a ten minute notice, and had me panic cleaning, or dropped in unexpectedly...of course she NEVER did that when I had just got things all clean and tidy, no it was always when it was hurricane-ish. :).
