These are a few of my least favorite things:

Move over Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hammerstein II. Step aside Julie Andrews. I mean seriously… whose favorite thing would ever be the whiskers off a kitten… that’s just sick.
Here is my top ten least favorite things….at least for today: (in No particular order)

1. Changing a flat tire in the middle of winter at night without a good flashlight, a decent lug wrench, gloves, or knowledge of how to lower the spare from under the van. Here’s a hint…you have to lift up the carpet behind the passenger seat and locate a nut…why didn’t I think of that?!?!

2. Picking dog poo out of your shoe with a stick. I put in the “with a stick” part because 9 times out of 10 that is the only thing that is around that you would actually want to use to get it out with. Wiping it in the grass only does so much. Scraping it on the step….ditto. The worst part actually comes several hours after you have first stepped in it. You have wiped off as much as you could in the grass and prayed that the people at work are not going to notice the faint odor coming from your general direction. Then a few hours later you remember “Oh yea…I still have lingering poo on my shoe that is probably dry now and needs to get scraped off completely” so you go outside and find….the stick, and begin chiseling away. This is the worst part for me. The smell returns and fills your nostrils again, people are walking by looking and smiling or laughing…..it’s humiliating and embarrassing. You find you self silently cursing about dogs and wildlife in general (yes even you Christians…. “That darn dog. I’d love to kick the heck out of him! I don’t give a rip what they say, SUGARFOOT!! ” does that sound familiar???) ….anyway It has to go on my list

3. Using words like ‘sugarfoot’ to try to make cursing a more Christian experience. This in my opinion reflects an attitude that needs to change much more then the need for a different word bank. It annoys me…especially when I do it myself.

4. Beets. Those things are nasty. Partly because they almost look good to the eye. They are red and sort of shiny and juicy…like a wonderful piece of fruit. But when you take a bite you realize that it is actually a horrendously indescribable piece of “nasty” camouflaged in enticing greatness. The thought sickens me. I’ll bet that’s what the fruit in the Garden of Eden tasted like….. “Surprise that’s what you get for disobeying my only command!!!”…yes I know a beet is a vegetable.

5. Losing a 5 dollar fishing lure. I know that doesn’t seem like a lot, but trust me it will ruin an otherwise perfect day very quickly

6. Hearing public testimonies from someone clearly and publicly living in sin about how God is really working in their life and blessing them and helping them minister to people, and blah blah blah… Forgive me if that sounds judgmental…but seriously, those are only believable for about 2 seconds. What I dislike about those the most though is that they make God look so bad. “Yes I’m living in habitual sin and everyone knows it but God doesn’t mind, see He Helped me get this great boyfriend…his name is Butch…well, at least that’s what the tattoo on his face says. Praise the Lord! It is so Great to be a Christian!”
Sure God is Merciful and Patient….He is also Holy and Just.

7. Snow day letdowns- see previous post below.

8. Accidently changing the channel to ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ and inadvertently getting the theme song stuck in your head for 4 days. “*Bang bang *Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* our fine four fendered friend*” Ha ha!!!! See how you like it!

9. Unforgiveness- Seriously, I see more people on their way to hell because of un-forgiveness in their hearts then anything else (see Matthew 6:15) I know from personal experience how hard it can be to forgive….Oh but it’s so worth it! And I’m not just talking about Heaven… the weight that gets lifted off of your shoulders is indescribable. Someone once said “Forgiveness is setting a prisoner free and then realizing that the prisoner was you.” They were right.

10. realizing that it is really hard to make a list of my least favorite things
