a few of my favorite things...and



Sometimes it is interesting when you get those emails of people's likes and dislikes, then you pass it on and put yours in, you know what I am talking about. I like to read them because even if you feel you know a person very well, they may surprise you.

Here are some of mine.  Feel free to comment and give me yours if you like.

  1. First: I LOVE your new background on the blog.

    Second: Some of my Likes....
    red heads

    goldfish, the fatter and fancier the better.....especially Koi (which who are we kidding are basically goldfish

    Dutch Baby - breakfast dish from the Pancake House in Williamsville, NY. That would be my last meal if I had to choose.

    The sound of my Mother humming or singing

    Journals - making them for myself or others. I've made 3 baby journals for people and one wedding journal for a friend as well.
    (Hand made journals are even better)

    Scrapbooking or any other paper craft for that matter

    Making someone laugh when they least expect it.

    Third:

    My dislikes....

    I used to HATE eggs...but I've been in recovery from that and can say that I eat them once again, but only with specific guide lines. Mom and I cracked a chicken out of an egg about 15 years ago and it's taken that long to get over it.

    People who are even remotely mean to animals

    Not having enough time or devotion to doing my own blog. I think it would be really fun, but I'm fearful I wouldn't keep up with it enough. That A.D.D. can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.

    lunch meat (especially when it has that shiny rainbow pattern, like on roast beef)Ewe...what is that

    Mean people in general....they suck.

    Being too negative, so I'll stop there.

    Thanks for your super fun list....Fun reading it.

    My list of likes could go on and on. I made a journal once and devoted it to a list of things that made me happy.

    love to you.
