Anxious Mom has nominated me for the Love-Hate Challenge. I am supposed to write down 10 things I love, 10 things I hate and nominate 10 bloggers for the challenge.
10 Things I Love
- My family – my lovely boys, my husband, my parents and my brother.
- Maxie (The Tufted Ear Bird Dog) and his trusty companion – Mikey.
- Early summer mornings on the patio when everything is cool and quiet.
- Coming home from work at the end of a long day – all the worries are left on the front doorstep.
- Chocolate mousse (Julia Childs’ recipe)
- The smell of dirt when digging in the garden
- Rain
- Dinner on the table (that I didn’t cook)
- Empty laundry baskets
- Clean and tidy house
10 Things I Hate
- Cell phone companies (watch out for an entire post on this issue)
- Cable companies
- Late patients that don’t apologize for their tardiness
- Being asked “When is dinner going to be ready?” when I am busting my butt in the kitchen and everyone else is laying around doing nothing.
- People that talk and talk and talk and never stop.
- Full laundry baskets and no one has made any attempt to start the laundry but yet complain they have no clean clothes to wear.
- The squeaking of Styrofoam in the summer
- Summer days when the temperature is over 105 degrees – stuck inside
- Car trouble
- People that take themselves way too seriously.
And my 10 nominees are (Please do not feel pressured to participate, just know that I really enjoy your blog):
- Baffled Baboon
- Anchors and Butterflies
- Biologynerdd
- Flip Flops Everyday
- Four Camels and a Coffee To Go
- Manee Trautz
- Nihongojapango
- Reviews by Bethany
- Oldest Daughter and Red Headed Sister
- Solveig Werner

I like this challenge! Although I am not nominated, I think I will post something similar (but with a freelance twist) in the coming weeks. 🙂
Oh! That’s great!!! Look forward to seeing it (especially the freelance twist part)!!!
Oh thanks for the nomination, I have been a bit absent from the blogosphere lately (unplanned events) and now being lazy on a holiday. But I will get to it eventually 🙂
Only if you have time – hope everything is okay!
Thanks! I will have to get my thinking cap on as I am pretty sure I have a list somewhere in my head. I had to wonder about the squeaking of styrofoam in the summer… How did that come about?
That sound is like nails on a chalkboard for me – it makes me cringe so bad – but it only really bugs me in the summer. Go figure. Some things cannot be explained!!!!!
Congratulations on the award!! 🙂
Woah – just noticing this now. Thanks so much for the nomination! I’ll get started right away.
Only if you have time. I know you are a busy Baboon, doing Baboon things!!!!!
