My "No, Thank You" list.

My daughter shared this on her blog, so I thought I would join in.  Things that are No, Thank You's for me include:

1) Being Late.  It is not that I am never late, but I try really, really hard not to be late.  I was raised to believe that when you ask for someone elses time, you respect it.  If a meeting is supposed to start at 7:00, then I expect that it will.  If I am to meet you somewhere at a certain time, I will make every possible effort to be there at the specified time.  And if something unforseeable occurs, I will contact you with an apology and a viable reason for why my being late was unavoidable.

2)  Gormet food.  I'm not that fancy and I don't care that much.  I prefer simple, healthy, and if possible quick meals.  And I"m not a fan of large portions of meat.

3)  Loads of make-up.  I think that make up is meant to enhance your looks, not to try and change how you look.

4)  Frosting.  I like my cakes and cupcakes without frosting.  Silly, I know.

5)  Acrylic yarn.  I prefer natural fibers like wool, alpaca, silk, etc.   I'd love to eventually try some exotic fibers, but haven't yet.  A yarn snob, I am.  Although, for baby items that need to be washed frequently, acrylic is a good substitute for a washable wool, I suppose.

Well, that's it.  Who will share next??
