This is my own A-to-Z Challenge for the month of June — likes and dislikes. I’ve fallen behind but haven’t given up! If you want to join me, just add a comment naming something you like and something you don’t like that begin with the letter J.
Also, I know this is Sunday night, but I’m going to try to incorporate Linda Hill’s (actually, this week Dan Antion’s) Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday which was “cent/scent/sent.”
Stream of Consciousness writing is supposed to be no editing and minimal planning. Trust me — I have not planned this. Life has been too busy.
“I should be able to crank this out,” I said to Mary as I headed in my room to write.
“You can do it,” she said — always my best cheerleader.
“It’ll be crap, but it will be done,” I said.
I forget what she said next.
Stream of Consciousness —- blah — I can’t even remember what was said to me five minutes ago.
Jasmine is a scent that begins with J. Do I like it? Do I not like it? I don’t know. I’m not sure I would recognize jasmine.
I like lavender. Does that count for anything? My friend Leah once sent me a bunch of lavender scented stuff. Here’s the problem, though. Lavender begins with L, not J.
I like my job, and that begins with J. The other day, the cash drawer was off by a cent — a single penny. Problems like that are so easy to solve. We have a little stash of coins to fix those problems.
I like the bigger problems too — figuring out to help members, guests, and even other staff. One of my co-workers is a “not my job” kind of person and I feel like she misses out on so much because of that attitude.
I don’t like junk. I bought a cheap lavender scented candle at TJ Maxx because I like lavender (see above). It was junk. I could hardly smell the scent.
I hate the junk mail that is sent to me.
I have spent waaaay too many cents on junk and thus learned the hard way that it’s better to buy quality.
Sorry for the crap post — but it’s done. And I used ALL the words so I should get lots of bonus point.
How about you? What’s something you like that begins with J? What’s something you don’t like?
Hot Dogs and Marmalade 
You got the bonus points, so it can’t be bad. I like it. I hope you had a good weekend.
J for like: jolly people. I like people who have that inner happiness/peace, even when things are maybe not going so great.
J for dislike: jealousy. Particularly when people are jealous of other people, or other people’s “things”.
I agree — jealousy is SUCH an ugly emotion.
I’m with you on junk. It’s a constant battle.
My like is jigsaw puzzles. Especially in the winter. Especially with my mom.
Dislike juried vocal performances. I had an experience in college that still makes me shudder every time I think about it.
Jigsaw puzzles! Yes!
J dislike: the name Jeremy. An unpleasant person by that name has forever poisoned the name by association.
Ooh …. harsh. He must have been pretty awful.
I like jam ~ most any flavor, but cherry is tops in my book. I hate traffic Jams of any shape or duration.
