What's Love Got To Do With It?

Back in November, our very good friend, Wendy at Green Girl Art, tagged us with a meme for 75 loves. I followed up on the tag a third of the way at the time, posting a list of Giancarlo’s loves.

Although a few months have passed, I thought the week of Valentine’s Day would be an appropriate time to return to this meme and post another 25 items.

I have been giving this tag my upmost thought and consideration. During the time of year when everything is red and pink, coated in chocolate, and accompanied by flowers, what should I write about? Lucia’s loves, my loves, celebrity loves gone bad?

What about 25 things I love to hate? Now that might be interesting…

1. Loud cell phone users
2. Taxes
3. Folding laundry
4. Junk mail
5. Telemarketers
6. Driving down the freeway in what is no longer your clean car because the vehicle in front of you just cleaned their windshield
7. Caillou
8. People who should check their luggage prior to boarding an airplane, but instead try to shove it into the overhead compartment, while you are standing in line, waiting to get to your seat
9. Missing garbage day
10. Really bad reality TV on VH1 that I can’t help but watch
11. The minutes after your child is given a vaccination shot
12. Getting your teeth cleaned
13. The mommy pooch that suddenly takes up permanent residence on your body after you have a baby
14. Target on a Saturday morning
15. Parents who do nothing to reign in their obnoxious or out-of-control children
16. The phrases, “It’s not you, it’s me” and “We can still be friends.”
17. Pop-ups on your computer, even after you have installed every piece of spyware on the planet
18. The end piece from a sliced loaf of bread
19. Identity theft
20. The little old lady in the parking lot of the grocery store who clearly can’t see over the dashboard of her Lincoln Continental, but somehow manages to swipe the parking spot you have been patiently waiting for
21. Guests on the Jerry Springer Show
22. Mondays
23. Lost…Three words: time traveling island
24. Negotiating where to spend the holidays after you are married and, even more so, after you have kids
25. Moving

Before I forward the meme along, here is a quick recap of Wendy's rules:

1. List things you love.
2. Choose a number that is significant to you. For example, 100, the year you were born, the day you were born, {you get the picture}. If you feel like writing a lot, go for it. If not, then cut back by choosing a suitable number.
3. Tag 3 people.

Since there are three of us here by the bay, I will go the extra mile and tag 3 people for each of us.
