Things I don't like, that make me less then happy

It seemed the only natural post to follow my earlier one on things I like that make me happy. I feel this one will be shorter but we'll see how it goes.
1)  Inventory
2)  Painting
3)  Worrying that my wonderful husband is going to be rude or insult someone.
      I used to call this trait early in our marriage "being brutally honest" but I have changed my mind on this.
4)  Asking people for donations - for anything.
5)  The stress that is at the beginning of any trip we ever take.  Once on the road things level out but oh we  
     are going to hate each other for the first 20 miles.
6)  Parents that allow their children to run wild and scream in the stores.
7)  Going to the doctor for anything.
8)  Going to the dentist for anything.
9)  Not having extra cash tucked away for an emergency
10) People that sit behind you at the game, movies, concert, etc... that kick and push on the back of your 
      seat.
11) People that try to impose their superiority on you or your ideas.
12) People that try to "fix" or "improve" my daughter that already happens to be PERFECT!
13) People that abuse children, old people and pets.
14) Speaking in front of people, groups, etc...
15) Being too warm anywhere.  Menopause really messed my thermostat up, just sayin. I would prefer being
      chilly.
16) Mushrooms.......I am sorry, they taste like earth to me.
17) That cherry tomato you expect to be so sweet and scrumptious but it nasty and bitter.  Thank you
       McDonalds for that experience, I will never forget.
I guess that is probably enough of the negative.  In to each life a little rain must fall, right?  If you didn't have
the bad you'd have nothing to compare the good to.
Enough said.

Random things that make me happy

I haven't posted for awhile.  Nothing has been speaking to me lately I guess.  This morning in the shower I was going over a mental list of things I like and make me happy.  Some are profound, some sappy and most simply random.They are in no particular order, just how they are coming off my head.  So here goes....
1) Tri-City sunsets ( they are the best)
2) The smell of the outdoors after a rain
3) The smell of puppies breath
4) The sound of my daughter saying "Mom" and loving that she is talking to me
5) Song birds in my back yard on a spring day
6) The feel of a completely clean house
7) Time spent with my sister (even if we are painting)
8) Russian olive trees blooming (even though they plug my sinus)
9) Foot rubs
10)Peanut Buster Parfaits from Dairy Queen
11)Brand new baby pigeons
12)The way my dog gets so excited when I come home to him
13) The nuber 13
14) All things Twilight
15)The smell of the woods in the morning when we are out camping
16)The sound of my fish pond outside my bedroom window
17) Fat Bottom girls blaring on the load speaker early in the AM of Boat race weekend
18) Sitting out in lawn chairs after sunset at the same boat races
19) Having money in the bank
20) Motor cycle rides
21) Movies and lunch with the girls
22) Loving the same man for 27 years
23) Family - all of them
24) In the boat on the river
25) All things Christmas
I guess the list could go on and on.  This is a good start I guess.
