Challenge Day 7

Pet Peeves!

I don't really have many pet peeves but the most infuriating one is people chewing with their mouths open. I just can't stand it. The noise, the lack of respect for others around and the way it looks. If I can hear someone chewing (even with their mouth closed) I have to get up and walk away, it really bothers me and it only started when I was pregnant with my son, 4 years ago. 

Another pet peeve is when people swear around their elders or young kids (12 and under). I think it's fine to do it around your friends but if your out in public please have some respect and try and be more creative with your words. 

Related to this one is saying the word c--t, I think it is the most down grading word not to mention just how trashy and disrespectful it sounds - in general.

My last pet peeve is when people have earphones in listening to music at full blast and you can hear it ten feet away. It really frustrates me especially in the classroom when I am trying to work.

Challenge Day 5

Do You Read? What Are Your Favorite Books?

I do like to read but I don't read very often. My most favorite book is Destroying Avalon by Kate McCaffrey.

BLURB:

When Avalon moves to the city her life is turned upside down. Starting at a new high school, she finds herself at the centre of a brutal cyber-bullying campaign. She is inundated with obscene text messages, and subject to increasingly vicious web site postings, as things spiral out of control.

Miserable and isolated, Avalon relies on a small group of new friends. But as the threats escalate, is anyone safe?

It is a very inspiring, moving book. This was the only book that I really couldn't put down! I've been meaning to read it again but have had little time and motivation.

Challenge Day 2

"10 Likes & Dislikes"

I'll do 10 likes first. Not in any particular order.

1) Nails, I love doing my nails. I'm not a professional and I've only recently started to do them. I love how it makes me look that little bit more girly (cause lets be honest, I'm not a girly girl).

2) Spending quiet time with my kids. It's great to snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and my kids.

3) My 3 cats. They all have different personalities. Penguin HATES other cats, any cat. Every time she sees another cat she hisses and growls. I have no idea why she does it, the boys play on it and rowel her up but never do anything serious. I'm sure she was beaten or mistreated as a kitten because she was always like this and no matter what I do to try and fix it, nothing works.

4) Going to school. I enjoy getting out of the house and doing something while I'm not ready to go to work.

5) Office supplies! I love office supplies, everything about them!

6) Facebook. I'm pretty much addicted to Facebook. Almost the first thing I do when I wake up is check Facebook.

7) Going for walks. I enjoy taking my kids for a walk even if its for no reason at all.

8) Going for drives. I love taking the kids out for a drive to see new things.

9) Blogging. I had to start blogging for school, but now I actually enjoy doing it. I would love to look back on this in 10 years and see how much I've changed.

10) My phone. I'm not sure I could go a few hours knowing I don't have a phone. Mostly because it's my watch, communication, Facebook, blog, entertainment.


10 Dislikes


1) Cleaning. I don't like doing the chores around the house, they bore me.

2) People that think they're better then everyone else. I can't stand people that look down upon others, we are all equal and we are all human!

3) Talking to people I know but not very well on the phone. I can talk to people I don't know like ordering pizza or the phone company but I can't talk to people I know but not very well, I'm afraid of the silent times and not knowing what to say.

4) Animal cruelty. I can't stand watching or knowing that such horrid acts happen. It really boils my blood!

5) Violence. I really hate that people think violence fixes everything or just cause they don't know how to release their feelings healthily.

6) Bitching. There is healthy bitching and then there is just plain old bitching to be a bitch.

7) Slow computers/internet! Having a slow computer or internet really pisses me off as I have little patience and it frustrates me so much!

8) My house being cluttered or messy. No my house isn't perfect, yes I do have mess. I just can't stand it when I have more then a couple of dishes on my sink or the couch is full of washing or I haven't vacuumed in a couple of days.

9) When my kids don't listen to me in public. I hate when my kids don't listen to me in public because I feel like I am a bad mother that can't control her kids or that people are staring at me thinking how feral my kids are.

10) That I do judge a book by it's cover. I am also racist. I'm not telling you this because I am proud but because I don't like it and I wish to change. I am a kind person, I do think of other peoples feelings.


This was a lot harder then I thought it was going to be. Try it yourself.
