Yesterday I listed my faves. Today a list of my not-so-faves.
* alarm clocks
* bills (not Bill a person, but bills that I have to pay)
* stop lights
* 1-ply toilet paper
* sloppy joes
* being misunderstood
* facebook requests
* fractions and decimals
* being so far away from my family
* a cluttered garage
* frustration
* sibling rivalry (I don't understand why it is called that. It should just be sibling ugliness)
* flower-y shirts
* smacking
* sharpening pencils
* unpainted toenails (only on women, men please don't paint your toenails!)
Strange list. But I can be a strange person at times. This is one of those times!
Love ya'll!

Favorite Things-School room/Office
Our house was built to be a parsonage. Which is a good thing, since it is one!
The office in the house has big built-in book shelves and is a good sized room. Right now we have a large desk which I use, two 5 ft folding tables that D&D use, a desk that Samuel uses, and a desk and round plastic table that Anna uses. We also have plenty of room to walk around, give reports, and play games. It is an ideal school room for us.
Now my favorite things.
1-The world map. I can't tell you how geographically challenged I am. This map has saved me much embarrasement in front of my kids. When they want to know where a country is, since it over my desk, I just look up, find it and show them. They think I am a geographical genius. Please don't tell them any different!!!
2-The windows. The windows face our side yard and driveway. I can see if the mail has been delivered, who has driven up in my driveway and watch the kids play on their bikes, skates, and scooters.
3-File cabinets. I know, I know. How can a file cabinet be my favorite thing. It does seem strange. One of them is a wood-look two drawer cabinet that we got from some friends about 9 years ago. It is FULL of stuff. Our other one is a standard metal office 4 drawer cabinet. It holds school books, art projects and stuff. I love it!
I know this hasn't been an exciting post. I'm really sorry. I promise to do better next time!

My Favorite Things-Kitchen
I originally planned on taking pictures of my favorite things in the kitchen.
And then I thought about it.
And decided there was no way I was taking pictures of my favorite things in the kitchen.
The pioneer woman has simply made it too intimidating.
But I will tell you about them and you can imagine what they look like, how about that?
The first is my iron skillet.
I resisted using the iron skillet for many years, 15 years and 4 months to be exact. But along with my childrens pictures and my Bible I will take my iron skillet with me come fire, tornado, or high waters!
I have used non-stick pans since I started cooking, which began 5 days after my wedding and not a day before, and I had problems with them. But not my iron skillet. It is wonderful, it heats evenly, cleans nicely and makes everything I cook in it taste so much better than it did in my non-stick pans. Oh, iron skillet I heart you!
Then second is my grease container. (shout out to Jodi!)
Yes, I keep bacon grease. And I keep it on my stove. Please tell me if this is a bad thing. I truly don't know. I have thought I should keep it in the fridge, but I just love the ceramic dish it is in. It came from Belgium. I think. It seems the story behind it has gotten confused in the brains of some of my family members (including mine). It is an orangey red and doesn't match anything in the kitchen, but I love it and will keep it.
(I get rid of the grease after time, and start over, after a while it gets a wang to it)
The third is my fondue pot.
Stephen and I got a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond a few Christmases ago from Aunt Babs and Uncle Joe. We knew what we wanted so we set out to find the best fondue pot ever. We found it, bought it and used it all in the same 24 hours. We love to fondue.
Friday night we had some friends over and we fondued for dessert, it was much fun but we did run into the problem of fondue etiquette. We made no decisions on how 4 people were supposed to eat out of the same fondue pot, we just did! And it was yummy!
I know you were thinking the microwave was going to be on the list and it should be, I just decided it was a given that it was one of my favorite things. (Sarah, sorry for the run-on sentence)
I hope you have a great week! Remember Jesus loves you and He endured great physical pain on this week so many years ago just so that you could know of His great love for you. His love knows no end when it comes to you.
