ABOUT ME:

• Leggings and messy buns
• Perfectly executed sarcasm
• WRITING... because NOT writing isn't optional, even if I never sell a single book.
• Lunch with a girlfriend or two (usually involving pasta and chocolate cheesecake)
• Crunchy tacos
• NAPS. Need I say more?

• Corgi butts (so freaking cute!!)
• Fluffy cat cheeks 
• The bright greens and fragrant blossoms of spring
• The gorgeous colors and crisp mornings of autumn 
• Winter snows, as long as there’s still electricity and I don’t have to drive in it.
• Listening to snow fall in the woods, because it absolutely makes a sound

• Sitting in the dark, staring at the Christmas tree lights
• Hot cocoa
• Watching Christmas movies, especially the kids' claymation classics
• Warm sugar cookies
• Candles. Obviously. 
• The smell of fresh-cut pine
• Our family Tray Day tradition (all-day appetizers and Christmas movies!)

• Reading, because I always learn something new about myself when I read.
• Rainy days
• Hawaiian pizza (which is awesome, and I will totally fight you over this!)
• Chinese takeout (aka meat, green stuff, and brown sauce, preferably with fried rice)
• Wolves

• Hanging out with my tribe
• Making out with my husband (be still my heart!)
• Family dinners, movies, bowling, and beach days
• The headboard my husband made me, with the inscription he carved on the back
• My rescued fur-babies

• Bigotry and prejudice, because people refuse to learn from the mistakes in our human history
• Mean people
• Judgy people
• Manipulative people

• People who intentionally give those insulting compliments, like, “Your hair looks so much better,” (translation: it looked like shit before) or “She’s got such a pretty face,” (translation: the rest of her needs serious work)

• Yes, you CAN have road rage in a grocery store. True story. More than once, actually. In the same week. Okay, the same day.
• I also hate humidity, or as we call it here, "air you can wear".
• I LOATHE hurricanes (been there, done that, do not recommend)

• I don't understand people who carry on ordinary telephone conversations in a public bathroom stall while doing what people do in bathrooms. WHY???

1. Who wants to talk on the phone while using the restroom? 
2. Who wants to talk to someone who is using the restroom? 

If you call me from the bathroom and it’s not life-or-death, I WILL hang up on you. 

And probably block your number.

• I don't understand people who wake up automatically perky. Morning people are a mystery to me, like finding an alien sleeping in my guest room. I don't know what to make of them. 
• Along those same lines: people who are perpetually perky, no matter how huge the dumpster fire of your day is. 

Clearly, these bizarre people cannot be trusted.  

Much like perky people/ morning people, those individuals who stumble out of bed looking like supermodels are just ... well, annoying simply isn't a strong enough word. 

Frankly, if you don't wake up looking like a frizzy possum, we can't be friends. 

Sorry. (Not sorry.)

There are people who BRAG that they haven't read a book since high school. Books let you experience things you'd never otherwise experience. They transport you places you'd never go and acquaint you with people you'd never meet otherwise. Their words speak to your very soul. In my world, reading is necessary for LIFE.

So people who brag about not reading? I don't get them.
