In college, my wife had a journal that she passed around to everyone. Each person would write down their likes and dislikes. It was fun to read because some considered it a serious effort, others merely fun. Every day I run across things that I like and dislike. Here are some of my likes from the past week:
- Lifetime Fitness
- Lightroom for most of my photo needs
- My wife, my kids
- Google Reader – love it but I wouldn’t call it efficient. Don’t forget to add iotaoflife.com as a subscription
- Delta tools are hand for building pinewood derby cars for cub scouts
- Home Depot – paint for the girls’ room this week. something else every other week
- Chai tea – my daily indulgence
- Podcasts – see my previous blog entry
- Our neighbors
- Open Door
- Living in America
- Lost – 11 days to go
My dislikes:
- Really cold weather without snow. How many snowstorms have been promised but missed our house this year?
- The pile – every house has one and it grows until it must be destroyed (or sorted)
- Forgetting why I went upstairs…or downstairs
- Verbing of the English language. Have you noticed how often people use words as verbs when they’re not meant for that?
- Phrases like, “It is what it is”
- Long blog entries
- Anything Hershey’s, except mint kisses
- Recycling bins that are too small
