I love all types of music.  My favorites are classical, classic rock and polka. I really don’t like country or rap, but I tolerate them.  If you consult my iPod, the Beetles dominate my song line up but that isn’t hard, how many hits did they have?  I like the Beetles but I’m not sure if they are my favorite band.  I have to really be in the mood for them. My always go-to music for most situations, especially at work is classical.  If I’m in a dark somber mood, I go with “Mozart’s Requiem” or “Adagio for Strings”.  Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" always makes me happy.  But usually though it is Tchaikovsky that I love. “1812 Overture,” “The Nutcracker” and “Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23” to name a few.  So he is my favorite music artist.

There are many things I love and to pick just one is a bit challenging so I’m going to say today I love Chocolate Malt O’Meal. I know…how random. But it is my standby breakfast, lunch or dinner when I don’t know what else to make.  Eric hates the stuff so I try to eat it whenever I can when I’m home alone. Seriously, I live on the stuff during Eric soccer season.  I don’t want to make a big meal for just me so I eat it on an almost daily basis.  I grew up on this stuff. I used to make it for my dad and me all the time.  I LOVE it thick and chunky (I know I’m weird) with 3 tsp. of sugar and a dash of milk.  Yum! I think I want to make some now!

There aren't too many things I hate.  Broccoli, yes, Watermelon…yuck! My ex-sister-in-law…most definitely.  But the weirdest thing (as I have been told numerous times) that I hate is ice cream.  I’m not sure why I hate it.  Growing up with a family that loves it and husband that eats quarts at a time you would think I would love it too.  And growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, it’s almost a cardinal sin to hate ice cream.  (Thankfully, I love cheese so I’m not completely shunned from my home state.) I don’t like the taste of it I guess, maybe the consistency, I’m really not sure.  It’s weird but I am not normal.  By the way, Eric was excited that today was “hate” day because he got to go to Dairy Queen for ice cream so I could get a picture.  

Sorry Angie! Let me start out by saying there is never a dull moment being your friend and living with you for all those years was a blast.   They were really the best times; young, free and fun.  But considering I’ve had very few run-ins with the law, well just one actually, and you were involved, that makes you the person I did the most messed up things with.  As most of my friends and family are well aware of the Domino’s Pizza sign incident, I won’t go into details.  There are other stories that fortunately didn’t have police involvement.  But there were some with bouncers and such that rank as fond memories.  I’m not going to share anymore to save both of us from embarrassment.  You know what they are. Thanks for making me have fun…be it legal or not!
