I've encountered a few things lately which I have not liked and felt I should write them down so I will remember them better. Because I'm one of those people who will keep eating something just to finish it even it tastes bad. When I've ordered it before and not liked it.
Things I Don't Like:
- Earl Grey Tea.
Gross. So gross!
My lovely sister-in-law got me a bunch of tea for Christmas. I was stoked since I had been wanting to drink tea for over a month, but didn't have any. I was making my way through the variety pack and was digging the Lemon Ginger, English Breakfast, and Mango Something or Other, then I came upon Earl Grey.
It's a legacy, right? I mean, he was an Earl named Grey, so clearly, there's some history there. (Well, the history is here, actually.) As a history buff (no, I'm not), I thought that would qualify me to enjoy a cuppa.
But no.
It tastes like Aveda products. Namely, Firmata. [Cue nightmares of anxious hours in front of the hotel bathroom mirror spraying Firmata hairspray and drying it to a cement-like finish with a blowdryer on low before dance competitions.]
The G came home while I was drinking it and I made him drink it.
"But I don't like coffee or tea anyway," he said.
"Yeah, but drink this just to confirm you don't. You'll be like, 'Oh gross, that's why I don't like tea!'"
And he did. And it was definitely confirmed.
So, no more Earl Grey for this house. It's strictly chamomile and lavender or whatever from now on. Or coffee. Blessed coffee.
- Cold weather.
Minnesota and global warming go together like peanut butter and Cheetos.
Yes, they are that awesome together.
42 dregrees on January 5? Yes.
- Child car seats.
Obviously, child car seats are a necessity.
That said, they are a pain in the ass.
Buy a bigger car, throw your back out getting that kid in the middle seat, anchor those babies with 72 hooks and straps, then try to put them in someone else's car.
Good times.
- People who do not listen to the outgoing voice message and leave messages for "Sarah" on my phone. Long, detailed messages.
And Sarah, if you're trying to get into every college in the five state area, maybe you should put down the correct phone number.
This, I like
