10 Things I Hate About Me

Late night earlier this week, I discovered a show on the Style network called What I Hate About Me. They redid parts of this girl's house, her wardrobe & hair gave her cooking lessons and had an emotional intercession about getting over her ex - all to help her with the top ten things she hated about her life. They were definitely simple changes - everything was done in a day - but it was a neat concept.

So here's my list of the ten things I'd like to change about my life:

1. I hate that the dogs are often out of control & sleep in my bed
2. I hate that I can never get on top of the laundry - EVER.
3. I hate that I don't have a list or system for dinners every night and that I resort to the fastest / easiest thing to snack on or go out to eat
4. I hate that my house is full of junk without a cohesive style
5. I hate that I feel that I am not doing as much with my life for others and the community / world as I could be, or that I haven't done something grand yet (i.e. write a book, travel as a missionary to a 3rd world country, etc.).
6. I hate that I don't know what my next job / career move should be.
7. I hate that I feel I'm in a style rut compared to my college-age sisters, that I'm feeling old because I haven't done anything all that daring in my life, and that I'm not feeling sexy anymore.
8. I hate feeling out of control with my finances.
9. I hate that I worry about everything all the time.
10. I hate that I have a bad back, turf toe, TMJ and worrisome moles that need to be checked out all the time.

What I love about this list is that its all changeable - either by changing my perspective or by a 'just do it if its going to make me happy' action plan. I love that this is my actual list - that there aren't any huge problems that can't be taken care of on it - it shows me how great I really do have it in this life.

Tomorrow, for my birthday, I'll post a list of the top 10 things I love about my life to give this list some balance.
