Ramblings

Some major "pet peeves" of mine:
-When tv and movies make animal characters attracted to humans.
- The kissing sound effects on tv and movies. So irritating, like a "sucker" fish being pulled off the side of a fish tank.
-When people pronounce the S in Illinois. Or say fustrated. Or the T in often.
-When people talk in abbreviations! The only acceptable forms of this are "a.s.a.p" or FYI, but even that is pushing it.
-How obsessed Texas is with... Texas! Seriously. I'm all for state pride, but this is borderline crazy.
- The pride behind the phrase "Everything's bigger in Texas." Ok. So?
- The girls/women who are mortified at the idea of accidentally being seen in their underwear but have no issues with walking around a crowded beach in a bikini. Besides the type of fabric, what's the difference?!
-People who refuse to go with generic brands. Especially the ones who then complain about how expensive stuff is but drone on and on about quality. Here's what you do, buy the generic, if you can tell a big difference, then go to the next price up... we tried Great Value Mayonaise, TERRIBLE, but at least we figured that out instead of needlessly buying the name brand when the generic could have been just as good for almost half the price.

Things I find endearing:
- Mariska making Brynley laugh.
-Coming upon friendly puppies Mariska gets to pet.
-Brent tucking his shirts into his sweat pants.
-Brent's obsession with needing to clean the garage... honey, it's a garage, it's the room that's allowed to be a bit messy.
-Wobbly babies that are learning to walk falling back on their bums.
-Husbands that put their arms around their wives during church.
-When Brynley can't get enough of her foot into her mouth, literally.
-Brent's excitement at spotting a neat species of bird... even if it takes his eyes off the road.
-Mariska's love of cheese crackers (generic cheese-its)
-spotting a not so slim person walking or jogging.
-waking up in the night under the impression it's almost morning, only to look at the clock and realize you have several hours left to sleep
-the "bottom" of any person younger then 4.
-freshly cut grass
-when Brent jokingly trys to get on my nerves. It does annoy me but it makes me laugh as well.
-every time Brent mixes up his words, like when he was ordering a mushroom burger but asked for a marshmallow burger instead
