Stuff I'm NOT diggin'

I like lots of things. I'll even go as far to say I LOVE lots of things. But there are some things I don't think i'll ever like. So for your reading enjoyment, here's a list of things that I DO NOT endorse:


1. Gym Tourists- That person who gets all dolled up to come to the gym and 'hang out'...they might look like they are just getting on the elliptical, they might peruse the weight room, but they never actually pick anything up or touch anything...yet they are there for hours. (Notice my proper use of 'there')

2. Scotch- I realise this makes me a heathen and I apologize, but it's gross.

3. Black Licorice- What the hell is this anyways? Tastes. Like. Feet.

4. -40- I love winter, do not mistake this for a rant against winter...but you can't DO anything in -40. the air hurts your face and lungs, it's dry, my car is unhappy, just no.

5. Band Aids- They're horrible, they don't stick, always floating at the bottom of the pool.

6. Feet- I don't even think I need to explain myself. (Might also taste like black licorice)

7. Air Conditioning- (fully understood that in some climates this is necessary) it makes me cold and sneezy and I don't like it. I've never used the AC in my car. I have a sunroof and it's awesome.

8. Wearing shoes- Anyone who knows me knows that as soon as I get home or to the cabin or to the reception of a wedding... i'm shoes off until I leave. My mom is constantly 'encouraging' me to wear shoes at the lake due to the dirtiness of my feet. I'm washable.

9. Blisters- This may very well be one of the reasons I hate shoes. I also don't think anyone likes blisters...but there is a strange satisfaction from popping one. (Stay tuned for a future post titled 'Weird things I like')

10. Bad coffee- I LOVE coffee, the smell, the taste, the way it makes me feel...but it better be good quality. And don't even get me started on things like 'whitener'...

11. Horrendous shipping costs- I get that the Canadian dollar isn't the greatest right now, but to charge 40 USD to ship a pair of shorts or 50 for my favorite nutrition supplements? It makes me stabby. The last few times this has happened I've actually emailed the companies and asked what could be done and one changed the entire shipping cost to Canada for all future orders (WIN) and the other told me to try shopping through another source...which actually worked.

12. Meatloaf, meat pies, casserole...basically anything with ground beef that's not chili. Why? I do not know, it just doesn't sit right with my oral sensory receptors and I won't do it. To be perfectly honest, it may very well be the red meat. I only really enjoy a good steak and that's few and far between. Give me ALL the chicken and fish!

13. People who can't spell or use proper grammar. Sigh...your means it belongs to you. You're means YOU ARE!
