10 things...

Ok, since my best and worst of 2003 posting -- I have been thinking of all sorts of top ten lists. I may from time to time have a top 10 of sorts but for now I have a 'then and now' sort of list. Especially here at the beginning of a new year, when I take inventory of where I'm at and where I've been. If you don't think you've changed much....think back to when you were a teenager. Here's what I discovered:

The things I really liked when I was a teenager that I don’t much care for now:
1. permed hair
2. Diet Coke/Tab
3. gold jewelry
4. The Love Boat
5. McDonald’s
6. double-pierced ears
7. red cars
8. MTV
9. being popular
10. Michael Jackson

Ten things I didn’t much care for when I was a teenager that I really like now:
1. computers
2. spending time with my family
3. art
4. discount stores
5. intellectual conversations
6. nice guys
7. comfortable shoes
8. gardening
9. looking at old pictures
10. myself

Ten things I’ve never much cared for and very likely never will:
1. math
2. tattoos
3. doctor visits
4. raw onions
5. tube tops
6. scary movies
7. liver
8. making up my bed
9. vitamins
10. people that don’t ever learn how to say my name

Ten things I’ve always liked and very likely always will:
1. the color pink
2. hairspray (can’t live without it)
3. veggies
4. Keds
5. antiques
6. Mexican food
7. reading
8. baking
9. the original claymation holiday episodes
10. making lists (yes, I did this as a child too)

Got a list to share?
