Top 10 Favorite Things:

• long walks at night
• my family and all their craziness
• my house panthers (aka cats - and also their craziness)
• All of the good memories I have of my husband.
Top 10 Least Favorite Things:
• Lucky Charms Cereal. I didn't like it as a child, and still don't as an adult.
• Folding laundry. I don't mind the task of putting it in the washer, then the dryer. It's the folding part that gets me.
• People focused on trying to fix me. I'm not broken, I'm just a widow.
• Getting up early
• Sushi, no thank you.
• While on the topic of food, Brussels sprouts. YUCK.
• The Twilight books. Sorry folks, this series really annoys me.
• Budgeting. Ugh. I don't like to do it, but unfortunately it's a necessity.
• Junk mail. What is the point? Waste of time and resources.
• Not having Brad here anymore.
