Maybe this belongs in the "Tiny Fists of Rage" blog.

My life is wonderful.
I'm incredibly lucky in almost every way.
Here's a bulleted list of things I hate.

  • The dishwasher, still.  
    • Sticky and powdery things are its kryptonite.
  • Our dark, narrow cabinets.  
    • I shattered the glass lid of a casserole dish by forcing a salad spinner onto the bottom shelf. 
      • I guess the salad spinner won?
  • Home-decorating shows. 
    • Our house decorates itself. 
    • I don't need some lady from North Carolina telling me what looks good. 
      • I'm sure that lady disagrees.
  • Nearly all nineteen-eighties pop music.  
    • I've always hated it, but now I really hate it.
  • The ubiquity of aioli.
    • Raw eggs! 
      • Raw eggs!
  • Other people's baby names.
  • Some of the baby names I thought I liked.
  • The fact that I've started to like names I thought I disliked.
  • Posting a list of complaints when my life is very good.

And now, a bit of what I like:

  • Ingenuity.  
    • I retrieved the glass fragments from the back of our lowest kitchen-cabinet shelf with
      • a flashlight
      • a cookie spatula
      • a frying pan
      • a dustbuster.
  • Refined sugar, for its medicinal properties.
  • My husband, who laughs off my rage.
    • Even when he's temporarily out of underwear.  
      • I think the dryer's done now.
