being optimistic in every situation
being 3 years shy of 40
being an encourager
being interesting to others

most confrontation (although I am getting better as I age)

kids with runny noses
addiction to anything self-destroying
the smell in my house after cooking bacon
the tongue that is too sharp
that I sometimes feel discontent from within
that beyond being a wife and other I am nothing
slack workers at any retail/fast food place
fear
the way of the world and that my children will be raised in it
being hurried
someone else making decisions for me
the flab that jiggles when I run
balancing my checkbook or any money related topic
the notion that more is better (unless it is about love)
people who bash their husbands
wasted time
the potty room on small airplanes (Good Lord, only small children can fit!)
prejudice
wearing a thong to bed
people without any plans/goals (especially if they are really gifted)
improper grammar usage
drunk, loud, obnoxious people

Okay - I don't have much in common with your likes (running, reading, being a mother of three) - of course I have a few (like being in love with my husband!) but I agree with ALL of your dislikes - especially sleeping with a thong on! I have to wear shorts or change into "granny panties" most times!

LOVE IT! :)

i SO agree with driving on a country road with the windows down. i did my best to do that yesterday. i say "i did my best" because believe it or not, there aren't a whole lot of country roads in southwest florida! especially not ones that bring you back to where you began. anyway, i feel like if i cant ride/drive with the windows down, then what's the point?

i laughed out loud about the thong comment. out loud. i promise. and it made me remember...one funny night...mortons...need i say more? :)

i LOVE you. we WILL talk soon. maybe today!
