So, I was sitting here tonight thinking of how many things I love. My friends, my family, good wine, dancing, buddha statues, prune yogurt, etc. And I was going to make a list of all the things I love. But then I realized that it would take a very long time. So, instead I’ve decided to make a list of the top ten things that I don’t love (in no specific order). Here it goes:

1. People who intentionally butt in front of me in line for no apparent reason.

2. Opening up what looks like a perfectly ripe avocado, only to find out that it’s already gone bad.

3. Hangovers.

4. Racist people.

5. Stubbing my toe and losing a toenail.

6. People who are convinced that they are completely correct, and have nothing left to learn in life.

7. Going to sleep when there is so much more fun stuff to stay awake for.

8. Having a background in science and almost two years of medical school under my belt and still not being able to figure out why my vegetable crisper keeps filling up with a greenish-yellow liquid.

9. Mean people.

10. Making lists of things I don’t love. (I just realized that making lists of things that I do love is much easier, and actually more fun.)

I just read this short article about American weddings. It sounds like the kind of stuff I say all the time.

Today’s marriage ceremony is indeed a statement of love: the love of buying things, and, more particularly, buying things that have been personalized to express one’s taste and, so the industry tells us, the essence of who one is. Ahead lie years of that same pursuit (if all goes according to plan). What better pledge (our cynic might ask) of a bond’s longevity than for spouses to discover that they can jointly define the brand right from the get-go?

If I ever do have a wedding, it will probably involve lots of goats and mismatched everything. That might be the only way I could swallow it.

“Hey look, my boob is bigger!”

(Upon noting the swelling of my breast post-op.)

I’ve found that I come up with a lot of random things to say (maybe you’ve noticed). So, I’ve decided to start posting (hopefully) one of my quotes (Kendraisms) everyday. Probably most of you out there won’t give a crap, and they will not help you in anyway. Pretty much the only purpose for this is because I feel like doing it, and because I’ve always wanted to write down my random quotes, but always forget to do it. So, here goes nuttin.

Today’s Kendraism:

“I don’t like using paper towels that make me feel guilty about throwing them away.”

(In reference to the super thick, clothy paper towels that Micah bought.)
