A Few of My Favorite Things...

Hi...it's me...Annie Grace,
So we are still moving furniture because it is two inches off. I help by laying on the piece of furniture she is eyeballing to move and perfectly place myself on it looking so content she does not want to disturb me. Then she proceeds to move pictures 3 centimeters down so they are perfectly aligned. I then pretend there is an invisible tiny fly on them which I need to swipe. This makes her nervous as I hear "be careful Annie....that's a mirror...don't break it!". Yes, I am fully aware it is a mirror! I sit on the couch and gaze at myself in it for 2 hours a day. Anyway, she has Christmas music on. So I ask her when did Julie Andrews singing My Favorite Things, which is from The Sound of Music, become a Christmas Carol??? No, seriously..... It is not a Christmas Carol! Raindrops on roses and whisker on kittens (yes, that one is lovely I do admit)...... brown paper packages tied up with string (a big FAT Sephora box would suite me just fine), warm copper kettles ...yadayadayada. So, I have decided to post a few of my NOT SO favorite things.

1. Why can we say Happy St Patricks Day to EVERYONE but not Merry Christmas? Is everyone Irish? (We know the Hogan's are.....)
2. Onions and mushrooms. Gross. Gross.
3. A four way stop sign every 100 yards. No time to pick up speed
4. People who eat their McDonalds and Burger King while parked in the lot after going through the Drive Thu. The Drive Thru is suppose to be because you are "on the road".
5. A very badly dressed Santa wringing a bell while trying to get your money. Ooops ..I mean "donations"
6. Commercials on TV. Why are they louder than what you were watching? How many do we need?
7. The smell of a garbage truck after it goes by. Can't they make giant plug ins?
8. Panty lines. There is no excuse
9. Sweatshirts with Micky Mouse...in public except for breakfast on a weekend. No need. We have ALL been there!
9. Lines at the Post Office....ALL THE TIME! Perhaps as your standing in line you can fill out the info. Not wait till you get to the counter?
10. The smell of Fall. It's rotting leaves...nothing "pretty" about that.
11. Autographs. WHY? What prey tell will you do with them? They are just people with flaws like us.
12.Trying to get on TV. There is no need to yell/whoop and give the peace sign. Your 10 seconds of fame is gone no matter how loud you are. Seriously...watch The Today Show! Try to act poised and you will look better for your 10 seconds.
13. The smell of a wet dog. Please, remember...I am a cat.
14. New Years Day. Now we have 4 months of finding an excuse to party to deal with winter.
15. New Years Eve. Are you suppose to just find someone to kiss? Who invented that??
16. New Years Resolutions. Why... oh ..why do you need to pick one specific day? You will break them anyway. And why do people ask what they are?
17. Since we have covered Beach Etiquette...no need to go down that road again!


Now I must go....she is trying to move my scratch box.
