Tidbits about me because I can't think of anything else today

Stuff that sends me into a homicidal rage:

• Bikers who don't obey traffic laws
• Laugh tracks
• People accosting you outside of shops in order to bother you into signing their stupid petition du jour

Sidenote: dudes, if you do this, I am going to hate you and your pet cause so much that I will actively vote against it just to spite you, even if it's a good idea. I'm like that.

• Mosquito bites and anything else that itches incessantly
• Talk radio
• Political pundits who can't shut up when someone else is talking. When did our species become so rude?
• Movies that only come out in 3D, which gives me a vicious backache
• People who belch with their mouths open
• Animals left in cars, particularly on hot days, or tied up in yards where they haven't got any food, water or shelter
• Pretty much any animal abuse at all, come to think of it

I should probably end this list before y'all decide I'm a sociopath and need to be locked up. I HATE EVERYTHING! Oh wait, no I don't. Time for the other list.

Stuff that blisses me out:

• Being outside in the woods (or anywhere, really) away from people who aren't Patrick
• Singing a piece of music powerfully enough that I can feel the vibrations all the way through my body
• Listening to a concerto played in my very own house, with backing music
• Waking up to a pile of cats and husband snuggled all around me on a rainy Saturday morning
• Believe it or not, goat milk (soooo creamy and flavorful)
• Barbecued peaches with balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, coconut and Devonshire cream
• Hitting bullseyes with guns, arrows, knives, whatever
• Accomplishing things that I had to work at, like more advanced stages of my running program
• A good book and either tea or cocoa on the couch with a heating blanket over me while it's snowing outside
• Fitting into smaller pants
• Having just enough money so I don't have to worry constantly about paying rent or buying food
• Frankly, basically everything about being married to Patrick
• A spotlessly clean house, complete with groomed yard
• Putting a new comforter on the bed, which gives the room an entirely new feel without costing very much
• Camaronès enchipotlados from Señor Moose (mmmm, smoke-tasting shrimp!)

Apparently I really like food. That's what I've learned from this list. But who doesn't? I had a really stiff neck for a couple days from something or other, but it's mostly healed up now so I am eagerly returning to the gym today for a resumption of my originally scheduled running program. Back at it!
