I was recently nominated by @claritagigi and @alimamasstory to participate in the Love it or Shove it Challenge.

This challenge was created by @snowpea and here are the rules:

• List five things that you love
• List five things that you really dislike
• Use the tag #loveitshoveit
• Tag five people to participate, but anyone can join in.

Love it

Aside from the obvious things like my husband, kids, God, and Panama weather, I have to say that I love ice cream. It's my top dessert of choice.

I love Fiestaware. I just realized I've never done a post about my Fiestaware and I absolutely have to! I love the bright colors and it just makes me happy. I even brought my whole collection with me to Panama!

.
I love Dr Pepper, but it's pretty difficult to find here in Panama. One store randomly will carry it.

I also love quilting in my "free time" but I share all of those pictures on Mondays, if you're interested.

I love Siamese cats. I had one growing up who lived to be 21 years old. When she died, she was older than my youngest brother. I would love to get one in Panama, but they are expensive and we already adopted 2 street cats.

Shove it

I do not like coffee. Can't stand it. Don't like the smell or the taste of it.

I don't like TV shows that have characters who have affairs. It seems like every TV show these days starts out okay and then the characters have an affair and the audience is cheering for that to happen. The no good husband deserves to be cheated on. Sad that media is trying to make affairs look cool. They aren't and I won't support shows like that. (Recently had to turn off a show that had the characters have an affair on episode 26 - and I really liked the show! Boo!!)

I don't like skydiving. My husband _made me go_ when we were newly married. I thought I might die and I'm pretty sure he almost did but didn't tell me. So, not again, but thanks!

.
I do not like bad words. I don't use bad words and I really don't like to hear them!

I don't like power outages!! We have them here pretty often in Panama. I don't mind the ones that are about 4 minutes (which happen pretty regularly), but the 7 hour ones (like we had yesterday) drive me nuts. When we have one in the middle of the night and the fans go off, that is not good news either! It inevitably wakes up at least one kid! Thankfully we don't have too many that are really long.

Nominations

I'd love to hear what things you guys love and don't like: @crosheille @enchantedspirit @violetmed @coldsteem @fotosdenada! If you haven't been nominated and want to post, feel free to do that!
