I Don't Like

Recently I shared my likes with you. Today, I'm going the opposite direction:

•  the smell of coffee
•  being cold
•  getting my feet wet when I have socks on
•  having insomnia; which I tend to get because I don't know how to turn off my thoughts
•  burnt food
•  wearing shoes; they're a necessary evil that come off as soon as I walk into my house
•  bad breath
•  waiting; especially if I have an appointment
•  rude / sour people
•  the smell of a wet dog
•  dusty things; although I am guilty of going too long without dusting 
•  swearing; there are much more intelligent words that can be used
•  b.o.
•  the smell of fresh cut grass
•  when people misspell any of the homophones; like there, their, and they're

Pretty sure this one could go on, but I don't like sour people and I can feel myself souring as I think about all the things I'd rather not be around. When I was in grade school, there was a teacher that had us bring our work up to the front so she could look it over. I'll never forget the smell of her breath. It was foul; a combination of coffee and cigarettes. To me, it was dreadful to have to be so close and have her say anything. I'm a big proponent of breath mints.

The burnt corned beef was a sad affair.  The recipe said to use a cast iron skillet for best results, which I did.  It also suggested the heat be set at medium-high to high heat.  We have a gas stove, so I went with medium-high.  Unfortunately, that was too high.  Burnt food just doesn't taste as good as it does when it's cooked just right.  Don't you agree?

When you come to my freshly dusted studio, I will greet you with minty fresh breath. Sometimes it's the little things.

Till we meet,
