...peonies. I love them. This is the time of year they're in bloom, and i lucked out with three from my mom's garden. Not that i'm one of those people who has their entire wedding planned out years in advance, but i'd seriously aim to have it in june just so i could have peonies. My favorite is the light pink large flower. Like this one on the right, but lighter. My mom gave me white ones called easter bonnet peonies (i think) and they're fantastic too! I couldn't find a web image, so i'll try to take a real picture to post at some point.

I dislike...
...wide screen computer monitors. They horizontally stretch photos and make everyone look chubby.

I like...
..that my dad still uses the same keychain i bought him over twenty years ago. I found it at a rest stop while on a family road trip as a kid. It was the first (and likely last) time i'd seen something with his name on it, so i borrowed $3.50 from my mom and bought it for his birthday present. Once gold, it's now mostly silver, but the black lettering of his name seems to have survived surprisingly well.

I dislike...
..piano music in keys with sharps. Flats are fine, and even the keys of g and d (which have one and two sharps respectively) are okay. Once you add more than two sharps, i get all messed up, and invariably play them as flats the first few times. I'm not sure why this is the case (especially considering my last name), but it's been this way as long as i can remember.

I like:
- the smell of baby dolls (like cabbage patch babies) that have that special powder scent to them. It takes me back to my early years when all i had to worry about was which outfit to dress them in.

I dislike:
-kathy griffin. Not really a something, but a someone. Her sense of humor makes me irrationally angry, almost as much as her voice. It's beyond me why anyone finds her amusing.
