Things I don't so much like...

--snakes (can barely type it)
--mushrooms
--sushi
--milk
--long boring meetings
--the endless barrage of spam email
--the RETARDED email forwards that threaten bad luck for 15 years unless you forward the email and subject your friends to the same stupid message. Did I mention I can't stand those??
--watching baseball on TV

Things I really love...

--my family
--friends
--laughter!!
--celebrating birthdays (YEA LAUREN!!)
--Steak Maui at Houston's (Nashville no longer has a Houston's. BOOOOOO!!)
--seeing acts of kindness
--great movies
--pictures


My friend Sally Gary comes in town this afternoon. She's on that last list too. I'm looking forward to having some good time with her. Maddie starts pre-K on Friday. I'm still trying to get my mind around that. I'm SO glad we decided to wait on Kindergarten. It'll be hard enough to get used to her being gone 3 days a week. She's excited though.

Feel free to leave some of your most and least favorite things...and if you don't...you'll have bad luck for 20 years. Pass that on to all the people you really want to annoy.

PS: I've been asked this several times recently...you don't have to keep up a blog to publish a comment here. You do have to register though. It gives you a profile which basically says your name and that's all you really have to do. Hope that helps answer some questions if there are those of you wanting to comment but not wanting to maintain a blog.

Wow. My number two most hated things are also snakes and mushrooms. I'd say I hate Satan more than the two of those (and I really do,) but I believe that snakes and mushrooms are representatives of Satan on this earth. I also hate when Satan lies to me and the people I love. But I love my fiancee. And Caramel Turtle Fudge Blue Bell ice cream. :)

- Winter (except if I have the opportunity to Ski in Colorado or Alaska)
- When kids get older, their (excuse me) vomit is more than it used to be (rubber gloves, plenty of lysol and disinfectant liquid)!!
- People looking like "Deer In The Headlights" when they learned they're talking to a deaf guy. ;)
