Because it has been that kind of week.

Skittles
Barfing now.
I do not understand the appeal. They are these little hard, gristly nuggets that make my teeth hurt just looking at them. If that is what rainbows taste like, I will pass. Also, bonus one, does anyone else find the messages inside individual Dove chocolates to be incredibly asinine? “If it feels good, do it.” Hmm. Ok…

Dogs
Don’t even look at me like that.
How many followers am I about to lose? But hear me out. Other people’s dogs are fine. It’s just that I do not want to take care of something that I have to go on a treasure hunt to clean up its poop in the yard, take it out for physical activity while carrying its feces in a bag, that barks incessantly (is that just the dogs across the street from me?), jumps on people and slobbers. I just, no.

The Eagles, Nirvana, Green Day
I need you to grow up.
There needs to be a whole lot less of the above on the radio and a whole lot more of anything else at all.

Being Pregnant
This is me being done. Give me the baby now.
Love finding out I’m pregnant and love the end result. Do not like the process. I don’t feel glowing or bursting with life. I feel clammy and huge and tired and done.

Noise Pollution
Ok, this is kind of cute. No?
Mike hates this too. Not so much the noise, but he hates that his wife is a crotchety old lady who is constantly making everyone, “turn that down!”
Don’t you think knowing what a person dislikes is even more telling than knowing what they do like? What don’t you like?
Linking up with Hallie. I do like her. I like her a lot.
I hate hate hate the tags on the neck of clothing, steamed zucchini and matchy matchy. I was surprised Nickleback wasn’t on your list
That’s a given…
I feel the same way about dogs, only more so. I don’t even like other people’s dogs. Neither does my husband. It’s frustrating because if you express this sentiment people inch away like you like you’re un-American or something. Why is it okay to hate cats but not to hate dogs?
I seriously LOLed at your unamerican comment. Hilarious.
This is hilarious. I’m glad you posted it. I think you’re absolutely right, and that having preferences is a perfectly good way to learn about someone.
I don’t want a dog either. Living in a city like Milwaukee, lots of people have dogs, but they are very quiet. Quiet dogs seem like a sign of affluence. I was recently in Toronto, and people had dogs EVERYWHERE. Yet, they were completely unobtrusive. If I *was* going to have a dog, it would have to be unobtrusive, but I don’t want a dog. Sorry, I can’t travel with a dog. I like traveling.
I was not a good pregnant person. That is all.
I think you need a new radio station. I haven’t heard any of those bands in a while, but I’m a little tired of Rihanna. Surely, there must be another woman singing in this world. I like her, but enough already.
I started DLing all my faves into a playlist so I can keep all of the junk out of my brain ;)
haha! I don’t like being pregnant either, love the end result but agree that the process is far from desirable. And I can also relate with the dog, I’m not a fan of the hair that gets everywhere, including food.
Finally, someone else who doesn’t like dogs! I’ve always felt a little heartless, but why take care of one more thing than you have to? I’m also pregnant. And feeling so over the beached whale part. Ready to meet this little one already!
So happy for you! Pregnant ladies are my faves. You guys rock. I know because I’ve been there ;)
LOL!This is a great post. You’re right you learn more about a person by what they don’t like.
Yes, I can’t stand the “uplifting” sayings in the Dove chocolates. “Go to your happy place.” My happy place is the one where there’s chocolate.
But I must disagree about the Eagles. Then again, I grew up on their music. Keep it coming. I couldn’t identify Nirvana or Green Day at all!
Ha! I love that era of music, The Eagles just rub me the wrong way for some reason…
I’m with you on the Dove chocolates and the dogs. Our family had a dog when I was a teen and cute though he was, dogs are just too high maintenance for me. Now I love cats and have had them all my life and currently do have one. But when the Lord takes his little soul, much as I love him and will miss him, I am completely done with animals. The hair, the puke, the waking of the household at night, not being able to travel the way I’d like, these are things I will not miss.
Not my idea of a fun life, ya know??
loved your article , Jenna, about your dislikes…I sort of agree with the dog issue…we’ve had three over the past 30 years and when they’ve died, I’ve always felt bad…after all, they were a “part of our family”…but the last 7 or 8 years without has been wonderful. No vacuuming every single day, no rushing home to let them out, feed them, hear them snore…spouses and kids are enough!! i really dislike people who complain, CONSTANTLY!! If you can’t fix the problem than learn to just let go of it. Your life will be so much more peaceful! Along with complainers are those who have to talk all the time…what’s wrong with a little quiet time, people? Prayers, thoughts to yourself, making lists either in your head or on paper if you won’t remember help you to keep quiet and sometimes deal with issues that come up that you can solve yourself and it gives you peace of mind, too!!!!
I totally agree about the quiet time. It’s hard to come by, but it is so nice :)
Totally with you on the noise! My daughter the other day said, “I can’t believe noise bothers you. That’s like the smell of bread bothering a baker!” Silly child. When my kids are imitating me they keep repeating, “Turn that down…you don’t have to talk all the time…stop the unnecessary noise, etc…”
Glad I’m not the only one! Seriously though, sometimes I feel my anxiety revving up, and then I realize it’s because there is too much noise pollution!
