Alphabet Soup - Letter of the day is M - ME

I thought I would combine the letter M post with my facts about me, since well... I just couldn't have worked it out better.  But I would like to mix it up a little bit.  I think people try to almost always post about all the wonderful things they like but come on...

WE ARE ONLY HUMAN.

I have pet peeves.  Can you believe it?  Yes ma'am, I sure do.  So here's a list of some pet peeves of mine.  And just so it's not all negative and what not, I've also listed some things I love.


I DON'T REALLY LIKE :


1. Trying to get on the freeway and the driver doesn't let me in. 
2. People trying to cut in front of me in line.  Hello?!
3. Talking on the phone and that person starts talking to someone else. 
Hi, yeah it's me and I'm still here!
4. Junk mail and junk email.
5. The neighbor's cat sitting on my back porch screaming and screaming for no good reason.


I REALLY LOVE :


1. That my husband gives me a hug and kiss every time he gets home from work. 
2. Warm summer nights.  It's like winning the lottery.
3. When someone else cooks a delicious dinner and cleans the dishes.  (i.e. mother, mother-in-law, restaurant)  It's such a nice break sometimes!!
4. Being a wife.
5. Winning giveaways...


And speaking of winning giveaways...

Thanks to Erika at Cafe Fashionista, I just received my giveaway prizes. 


THREE Meg Cabot novels and a $50 gift certificate to Urban Outfitters!!!

  1. Oh, you won that give-away... congrats Amy!

    I agree with your likes and dislikes... except I don't like warm summer nights. Hahaha! I had my share of warm in different degrees and I am not wishing for more.

    Have a great weekend! xoxo

  2. Aww, hubbies are great. And no, people should NOT cut in front of others. Good choice for "M".

  13. Agreed on getting off in line. I think it's the worst when there is a line in the woman's restroom and someone just goes in and ignores the line! Ugh that's frustrating. I the woman who, trying to be polite, let's them now their is a line.

  14. Wives deserve a nice break!

    I've never experienced the cutting in line, but I've seen it. In those cases it was usually an older lady trying to take advantage of being an old lady. ;P

    Congrats again on the win. Hope you and the mister have a wonderful weekend!

  21. I can't with the telephone thing. It's one of the most disrespectful things. I used to have a friend that did this all the time!

    Agree with the nights of summer and the dishes! I'm sick and tired of have to clean them :D

  24. I am the same way when I'm on the phone. It bugs me when I'm talking to someone and then they say something out of the blue. Then I find out they're talking to someone else. :/

  26. Yes - I have to say that I do absolutely love when my mother cooks and cleans up afterwards - wish it would happen more often (both mine and my husband's parents live out-of-town!)

  27. Such a cute post!!! I really love cats and am not allowed to have pets.. maybe I could borrow your neighbor's cat.
    And warm summer nights are like winning the lottery!!!!

    Congrats on your giveaway prize!!! It is awesome to see someone I know (well, know via blogworld) win a giveaway prize because I feel like no one actually wins those things... but low and behold, you DID!!!

  28. Warm summer nights...ah, I can't imagine anything more perfect! And thank you so much for the shoutout, Amy - yayay for your prizes arriving...I'm so glad you like them!! :)

  29. That is a fantastic giveaway to win! Meg Cabot books are so much fun to read. I've read Airhead and Being Nikki. They are always fun books.

    I love your loves and don't likes. Although I don't mind junk mail because I like to flick through catalogues.

    And I'm about 5'2" and Jason is 6'1" So it's similar to you :) (though you guys are taller than us)

  33. I feel you on the dislikes!! >.< It gets me so bothered when people start talking to other people while they're supposed to be on the phone with me ! Grrr, especially when they were the ones who called me. It's like "Uh.. You called me, so what the heck are you doing talkig to other people" =/

  37. I hate "line cutters" as well...especially when they act all oblivious, like "what, you mean this group of people standing in a line was actually a line?!?!"...urgh :)

    Summer nights are the best! How cool is it that it is FINALLY getting warm outside!

    Hope you have a lovely time shopping today, my dear! Please do post the goodies you find :)

  38. Hi doll,
    Those are many of my pet peeves too! Especially your neighbors cat! lol just kidding, I can't stand it when people won't let you merge on the freeway!
    Have a great week! xoxo

  41. Aren't you a lucky lady? That's a killer giveaway win! Summer evenings are my fave too...especially when couple with a stroll on the beach!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Wow, congratulations on your win! What a great prize!

    I think a lot of your dislikes come under one term - lack of courtesy. I mean seriously, who talks to someone else while they're on the phone to you? And it seems as though no one wants to wait their turn in line these days!
