Best and Worst

I follow a blog called "It Just Gets Stranger", which is usually funny and always interesting. One thing he blogged recently were "Worst Things Ever" and "Best Things Ever" lists for 2013. I'm a TOTAL copycat (just ask my older sister, who liked Michael Jackson before I did) so I thought I would steal his idea and make my own lists. I'm not as funny as him, but I think it's good to send out the old year with spit in its eye and welcome the new with happy, hopeful, positive thoughts. 


Worst Things:

1. Chocolate that's gone bad. Or began badly by being sold at the Dollar Store.
2. Nose picking
3. Mystery goo
4. Exhaustion
5. Working while exhausted
6. Bears
7. All creatures of the bee/wasp family
8. Having to get up and go out on a freezing winter morning
9. Husband getting laid off from work
10. Craving fast food you know you can't really spend $ on right now...

Best Things:

1. New blog followers!
2. When kids you know see you in the store or the hall at school/church, and their eyes light up and they proclaim, "that's my (library/music) teacher!!" with a huge smile.
3. A really, really good book
4. An electric blanket
5. Delicious soup
6. When the whole family declares the meal you made a success
7. Laughing so hard it hurts
8. Sisters
9. Ibuprofen
10. The smell of the furnace coming on in October
11. Crunchy fall leaves
12. The first birds and buds of Spring
13. Early summer sunrises
14. Stars
15. Music that tugs at your heart
16. A really, really good movie
17. Going home
18. Dad hugs
19. Holding hands
