OOh Baby, That's What I Like

My last two blogs have been downers, so I thought I'd publish something more indicative of my upbeat personality. I am a huge sensory person and I have some oddities regarding the five senses. I have listed my favorite sensory experiences. Laugh if you want, some of them are a bit strange!



Things I Absolutely Love

Sights:

1. My children sleeping peacefully in their beds

2. Jon's hairy back (and the rest of his hairy body ;-) )

3. Baby Eve pulling the cat's fur out handfuls at a time

4. The "You've Got Mail" icon

5. A freshly polished set of fingernails



Smells:

1. My husband's crevices

2. A new box of crayons

3. Autumn in Ohio

4. Rain on hot pavement

5. Clean laundry

Sounds:

1. My children roaring in laughter

2. The rustling of Eve's diaper as she crawls around the house

Pet Peeves

Are there certain things that people do that sometimes get under your skin? These things can be simple idiosyncrasies, less-than-brilliant actions, or blatant stupidities that others act upon that infuriate you. Well, I know I have some and here are just a few...

1. Know-it-alls

2. Being behind a driver who drives with their blinker perpetually on

3. Toothpaste residue in the sink

4. Chipped nail polish

5. No toilet paper left on the roll (but the roll is still on the toilet paper holder)

6. Being able to see a woman's undergarment through (poking out of, etc.) her clothes

7. Pumping gas (and paying for it)

8. Hearing the horrible sound styrofoam makes when it is scratched

9. Powdered medicine (I could never take a Goody's or BC!)

10. Being wasteful

So what about you? What gets on your nerves?
