Like, Love and Don't Like

Ready for another installment of Like, Love and Don't Like? I knew you were!

This week, I like the Shelby County (AL) library system. Their services are free and if you check a book out from one library, you can return it to another library in the county with no hassle.

This week, I love the fact that college football season is almost here. Granted, the season will fly by but at least the newspapers, blogs and radio shows will have something more interesting to cover. I've almost (almost!) had my fill of baseball, don't care about Brett Farve and don't know much about this summer's crop of NBA free agents.

This week, I don't like my itchy eyes. I'm not sure if it is pollen in the air, my contacts or my rugged lifestyle but waking up with lots of eye crispies is getting old and itchy eyes are just plain uncomfortable.

Check back in for my next batch of personal opinions that you didn't ask for next week!

Oh yeah! Twitter.

The List

Some weekends are meant for relaxing while other are meant for productivity…this weekend was definitely a “productivity” weekend in the Baggett household.

Trim hedges
Wash Windows
Paint
Practice Calligraphy
Fix disposal
Grocery Store
Laundry


I love making lists, but the best part is checking them off when you are done!

An Evening with Chette Williams

Nick and I were invited to attend the annual banquet which raises support for Chette Williams (director of FCA and team chaplain) and the FCA program at Auburn. It was wonderful to spend time with Uncle Ed and Aunt Lee and to hear how God is at work within the athletic program at Auburn.

An evening filled with talk of ministry and Auburn football...doesn't get much better than that!

A football player sat at each table which was lots of fun. D'Antoine Hood was at our table. He is a sophomore from Columbus, GA.

Like, Love and Don't Like

It's time for this week's installment of LIKE, LOVE and DON'T LIKE, where I touch on the various interests and discomforts that have recently crossed my path.

This week, I like Salsa Verde. Actually, I am trying to find the secret recipe for Moe's version of salsa verde. As of this post, the secret remains safe. However, Julie bought me some salsa verde from the grocery store and I have liked eating it. I hope to try more brands.

This week, I love watching Heros with my wife. In an attempt of satisfy our hankering for new episodes of LOST, Julie and I have started watching the first season of Heros. I love this time because I get some quality couch time with Juliette, not necessarily because of the show. Julie is always so sweet to me and she doesn't mind if I drizzle chocolate ice cream down the front of my shirt.

This week, I don't like the way home-ownership is starting to take shape. Julie has already documented our recent air conditioning fiasco. I'm planning on trying to correct our dishwasher draining problem (again) this weekend and Julie has pointed out a mysterious stain on one of our ceilings. I don't like the way the problems seem to come one right after the other. And I don't like being told that it will always be this way.
