No complaining...
Its funny because I saw it & thought, "I don't complain that much"... & then noticed how much I complain in a day... or an hour...
So I wanted to give it a try. Not complaining. But that doesn't mean I can't complain in my mind, right? Because I'm still totally going to do that... but maybe not giving it a voice is going to make a difference. We'll see.
We'll see if I can even do it 24 hours... doesn't that seem hard?
Anyone else a complainer?
I know quiet a few... I won't name any names ;)

What about you?
Before you stop complaining along with me (right?)
... what are some things you hate?
#4 - YES! So much :(
ReplyDelete#6 - And I've never understood why I hate that so much!! It doesn't make sense - the dishes are all clean and shiny. I'd rather load an empty dishwasher. Weird. I think I get satisfaction from cleaning up a mess. ?
#35 - I'm with ya! Maybe they should start learning that there aren't as many teeny tiny girls out there as they think!
Good Luck on your 24 hours of no complaining!! :)
I saw this too and had the same thoughts!! I'd rather not participate for 24 hours and just try to change my habits outright! Although no closet space is pretty much the bane of my existence!! Also, trying jeans on has got to be on that list for me...
ReplyDeleteOh my! Where to start agreeing??? I am with you on so many of these.
ReplyDeleteThe purse one comes to mind. I am also searching the world over for the perfect purse. I've got a closet full that I thought might be THE ONE until I actually carried them. Sigh. Life is so hard.
I'd add one thing to your list. Folding laundry. Worst.Chore.Ever.
Vehicle shopping is my main hate right now!!
ReplyDeleteI kept reading the list and was wondering when you would mention #30. And then you mentioned it again.
ReplyDeleteNotice I'm not saying the word. Because I like you.
I complain more than I care to admit. I don't really like to use the word 'hate', but I strongly dislike some things...oysters (BLECH!), sand on my legs, poor dental hygiene, being disorganized, laziness...just to name a few. I may have to give your challenge a try...I'm sure it would be very eye-opening...and, hopefully, mouth-shutting! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow did your day go?! I'm going to try this tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've stopped to think about it, I'm sure I complain way too much! Shopping for a new purse is definitely on my list though. I buy like one every two years because I have such a hard time finding one I like.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on #37! When is the sagging pants fad going to fade out?
