Friday Five Meme

February 1, 2008 /

(image stolen from here)

I found this little love/hate meme over at Caribousmom, and it seemed like a good Monday Meme idea. Then I decided I couldn’t wait until Monday. Oh well. Since there are Five love/hates, I’ll pretend like it’s a Friday Five, k?

I love to eat: almost any flavor of potato chips, esp. those Kettle ones. Beets with Bermuda Triangle cheese. Ripe tomatoes. Crab. Oh, so may yummy things. (gosh, I advertise for these Bermuda Triangle folks enough…don’t you think they’d send me some for free? Please?)
I hate to eat: celery and mayonnaise, though I’m trying to get past the celery one. Mayo is actually fine in deviled eggs and a tiny bit on sandwiches, that kind of thing. I haven’t found any way to get past my hatred of liver, though. But honestly, I haven’t been trying very hard, either.

I love to go: to San Francisco for the day, with Ted and Maya, to play and eat yummies. Or Monterey. Anywhere near the ocean is great, anywhere with a great variety of shops and theaters and restaurants is great.
I hate to go: to endless meetings about boring, boring crap.

I love it when: I can take a nice long walk in the rain (I love the sound of the raindrops on my umbrella), and come home, and if I’m wet, then take a shower, and sit by the fire with a glass of wine. What’s not to like about that?
I hate it when: Idiots and/or evil people ruin my day. Don’t pretend this hasn’t happened to you. It happens to us all.

I love to see: Horses running in a field. Pure beauty. Hummingbirds darting around. A warm fire in the fireplace.
I hate to see: A big pile of clothes that need to be ironed. Blech. Or a big patch of dog barf on a newly cleaned carpet. Double blech.

I hate to hear: People fighting. Ugh. Especially if one of them is me.
I love to hear: Laughter. Sometimes Ted and I will both be upstairs on the computers, and Maya’s downstairs watching Spongebob, and she cracks up, and we both smile that same happy smile, enjoying her laugh.

    I like this meme! Perfect for a Friday 🙂 I hate celery! And, believe me, I have tried several times to like it, but it’s not happening. I’m one of those weird people who love liver, though. Since I could eat solid food, I’ve loved it.

    Have a great weekend!

    That’s a great meme! I’m craving these chips you’ve been harping about forever! I think I’ll have to make a USA trip soon.

    I love your kind of rain too… if the street isn’t too busy, I would be strolling with my umbrella… then go home for a hot shower.. and oh yes – the wine. Sweet.

    Oh Jimmy, Liver Pudding sounds just horrid. We lived in Philly for two years, and I could never bring myself to try their regional version, scrapple. Sounded too much like ‘garbage’ to me. 😉

    Celery with peanut butter is gross, though I’m starting to not omit the celery in soups. I like peanut butter and iceberg lettuce sandwiches, though, which I imagine would be similar…peanut butter and a crisp fresh crunch, but none of the nasty celery taste. 😉

    I love this meme. I think I’ll do it one Friday soon.

    Maya’s laughter has to be one of the loveliest sounds in the world. A reason for the existence of Sponge Bob.

    I love liver, but since I am the only one, I never get to make it, and no restaurants ever have it on the menu. The only time I like rain is when it is in lieu of snow, or when I’m in bed and can hear it on the rooftop.
