Likes & Dislikes

 

 

While running the other morning, my mind gravitated towards creating a list of my likes and dislikes.

It got pretty entertaining as I went along because I realized that most of what I do like is followed so closely by what I really don’t like.

Let me explain.

 

1. I love caffeine.

I live for my morning cups of caffeinated coffee but I DO NOT like caffeinated tea. It makes me dizzy.

2. I love to run outdoors but I don’t actually like the outdoors.

I will never set out on a hike, I don’t have a garden (and never will), I don’t do plants or dirt, I am not really sure how it is I went to camp, the thought of sitting in the grass right now is making me cringe and I refuse to ever walk outside barefoot (the sand at the beach is a brief exception).

3. I love watching professional sports, especially hockey, but I never liked to play them.

4. I can talk to you at length about the music in my running playlists but I am not a music person. I can take or leave a concert and aside from seeing Big Shot last weekend totally randomly, my last concert was Billy Joel is 1998.

5. I like carrots but the concept of carrot cake is weird to me.

As I have gotten older and less picky,  I will admit that carrot cake may have an appealing flavor but it will never be my first (or second) choice.

6. I love chocolate but usually don’t like chocolate ice cream.

7. On a similar note, while I adore coffee, I refuse to ever let my spoon touch coffee ice cream.

Should my sundae accidentally contain coffee ice cream, I will request that it be remade correctly.

Trust me – I will find the coffee ice cream flavor even if it is hidden among the other 12 scoops in the Friendly’s Crowd Pleaser sundae and I will send the whole thing back to be made properly.

8. I used to hate getting the mail from my mailbox but never had issue with checking my email.

Now, everything has changed. I am learning to like my mailbox (cards! checks! discount cards! store circulars!) and want nothing to do with my inbox (bills, work, people looking for instant response).

9. I like getting up early in the morning and I am definitely a morning person but I don’t actually like talking or being polite until I have had some time to adjust to the day.

10. I like to bake and get creative with my ingredients but when it comes to cooking, I prefer easy, simple and routine.

This was a fun list to make! I want to hear your likes and dislikes 🙂 Do you agree with any of mine?
