Things I Hate This Week

• My Beautiful Mommy (just wait, the image will change every 10 seconds - I think. Otherwise, click the link!) http://www.newsweek.com/id/132536
• when people over-fake tan - a little orange is good, but please don't make yourself look like a Cheeto
• the way Vans feel on my feet after a long walk
• competitive parenting
• the knitting project that I worked on ALOT when I was at a conference, but has been sitting on my bookshelf, untouched, ever since
• when the times on my cell phone and computer are off by a couple of minutes. How is that possible?
