Over the years, I’ve developed strong likes and dislikes.
Some may even call them irrational. You decide:
Ten things I LOVE
-followed by-
Ten things I HATE
LOVE: Thunderstorms
HATE: Strong wind
LOVE: The sound of a cat’s purr
HATE: Chihuahuas
LOVE: Ice cream
HATE: Anne Hathaway
LOVE: Having my hair played with
HATE: Duck-butt haircuts (especially on women who look like they’re overly peppy in the morning)
LOVE: Spicy food
HATE: When people sing along with music in public, like in the grocery store. (Stop it. It’s not karaoke night)
LOVE: The Beach
HATE: Parades and musicals. (I know, I’m an asshole)
LOVE: Traveling (not packing or planning, but the travel part)
HATE: The word panties
LOVE: Laughing. Hard. Like pee-in-your-pants hard
HATE: Perfume and cologne
LOVE: Going to the movies
HATE: Episodes where sitcom families go on trips together
LOVE: Being swept away in a good book
HATE: Pop-ins. Freakin’ call first
Do any of these ring true for you, too? What are some things you irrationally love or hate?
Hmmm, I love tortilla chips as in LOVE ‘EM. I loathe heights, as in I panic and think I’m gonna fall off the cliff/canyon rim/rock fin if I get even remotely close to the edge… love your know blog theme 🙂

oh, chips and salsa….why are you so good to me? I’m in heaven with chips and salsa. And *hurl*….heights. Totally freaks me out, too. Even when I walk on people’s upstairs hallways, you know, right next to the banister it makes me feel all weird-vertigo-ish.

Oh I can’t hardly breathe near such places and though I can climb a ladder it is difficult. I swear I died in a past life by either being thrown off of someplace high or jumping and REALLY regretting it.

I love…
Trees
flowers
a light breeze that caresses the skin
trails along the river
any large body of water
powdery sand beneath my feet
walking along the edge as the waves splash my feet
dogs that love you beyond reason
open spaces
road trips
fresh vegetables from the garden
dancing in my living room
music that makes my blood start pumping and my foot start tapping
words that come alive on the page
juicy ripe cherries
love and miss the fresh oranges off my great-grandparents ranch
romantic comedies that make me laugh and cry
women that laugh, love, and follow their passion with all their heart
the sound of rain
art that takes your breath away
playing with my granddaughters
and friends that remind me of the things I love.

Oh dear… I sing in the grocery store. I am one of those annoying peppy people who dance and sing at inappropriate times. I also love parades.
However, I feel like Adam Levine can get us through this

We can do this. We can make it through. You’re so cute I think I could forgive grocery store singing. I mean, we have tattoo and beard love in common, too. That’s a great foundation. I feel it.
