The fabulous Rhonda over at Mimi's Toes did this super fun meme, and I had to play along!
She gave me the letter G--because she thinks I'm having a girl (oops, I wrote boy at first, I am officially entering the braindead stage of pregnancy!)--and I have to come up with ten things I love that start with G and ten things I don't much love that start with G.
LOVE!
1. Grapes. I love the fruit, and I love anything grape-flavored. Popsicles, snocones, juice, kool-aid, jelly, love it all!
2. Guys, particularly the hot kind. No, seriously, it's only been in the last few years that I've started making female friends. Before that, I was always the girl who hung with the guys.
3. Gaffigan, Jim. Is that cheating? I don't think so. I love Jim Gaffigan! His DVDs never fail to make me laugh, and I am still SO SAD that I had to miss seeing him in August due to stupid strep throat.
4. Gel pens. I am so totally that teacher who uses sparkly, colored gel pens to grade papers. Red pens? BORING.
5. Green. Green is not a favorite color, but I love the green of the grass and trees when spring FINALLY comes.
6. Grapes of Wrath. I LOVE John Steinbeck. Like, love him so much that I'd marry him if he weren't so old. And dead. The Grapes of Wrath is one of my favorites, especially the poignant ending.
7. Gauchos. When it's warm, I pretty much live in gauchos at work. They're just dressy enough to wear to work, and they are so comfortable.
8. Games. I am a slave to board games. I can play them all the time, but unfortunately, I can't find someone who wants to play with me ALL THE TIME. In the few days before Luke was born, Shane and I had a Yahtzee tournament. It was such a fun time.
9. Giggles. Oh, I love giggles, especially ones from a baby.
10. Giveaways. Who doesn't love the chance to win something free and fabulous?
NO LOVE!
1. Gelatin. Omg, I abhor Jello. I think it is the grossest thing imaginable. I hate how it tastes, I hate how it jiggles, I hate how it looks, I just hate it! The last time I ate it was years ago, when Shane and I first started dating. We ate dinner at his parents', they made Jello for dessert, and I ate it to be polite.
2. Grapefruit. Grapefruit is the failure of fruits. It tastes like neither grapes nor fruit. It is sour, gross, and too juicy.
3. Gravy. Apparently I hate a lot of G foods. Gravy is gross. I don't eat it on mashed potatoes or turkey or anything. It's brown and sloppy.
4. Gel. I am not a hair gel person. Unless it's really good gel, it makes your hair crunchy. No thanks!
5. Garlic. I like garlic normally, but when I am pregnant, my stomach flips out over garlic. It makes eating out difficult.
6. Groundhogs. Right now, I'm a little ticked at the groundhog for sticking us with six more weeks of winter. Now, I know the groundhog really has nothing to do with it, but I hate winter and want to blame the groundhog.
7. Gel nails. I hope I'm not offending anyone, but I'm just not a fan of the long, very fake looking gel nails that some women sport. Maybe I'm just not girly enough to get it!
8. Granny panties. So not comfortable!
9. G-strings. Also so not comfortable!
10. Gossip. I'll admit that at times, I like a little good gossip as much as the next person. But when gossip gets malicious or blatantly false? I hate it. When gossip hurts? I hate it.
Want to play? Leave me a comment, and I'll give you a letter!

Why the heck would the letter G be because you're having a boy!? And good to know you don't like Gel.
Oh did you see Jim Gaffigan is on next week's Flight Of The Conchords??
Steph
I had the letter D... that wasn't much fun...

This little meme is actually more revealing than the "25 Things" one... and kind-of more Gleeful and Good-humored and Gambol-ish. Had to celebrate the G's here... !
I smiled at the Gel pens. I used colored markers to grade school papers during my entire career, and kids always LOVED it (even though they accused me of treating them like elementary school kids!). Why not Grade (another G) with flavor and fabulousness!? I still appreciate a hot Guy.
Granny panties and G-strings! Oh, Gross!
Erin... you always make me laugh. Your wit jumps out through your words!
I'll take a letter... !!

Go ahead and DO ME, Erin.
Hey Erin! I loved your granny pants and g-string comments LMAO! So true.
I'll take a letter!!
Oh yes, who doesn't like hot guys! And granny panties and g-strings, I'm with you there!
Robin
You love grapes?!? YUCK! O, give me a letter...this is fun.
Jello is SKETCHY. Yuck!
Ooh! I'll take a letter. :)
How can you not like Jello??
Oh well... I hate the new Gatorade "G" commercials.
Rhonda gave me the letter B and it was fun. I wanted to tell you that I had four of Jim Gaffigan's nephews in class and now I have his niece. The family met Jim's family at Disney World in October and they brought home an autographed picture for my daughter's boyfriend. He was thrilled!
You love gel pens but not gels, huh?

um. we are total soulmates! ;) i HATE jello and can't even imagine why you'd want to serve it as a *dessert*! the only time i choke down jello is when it contains alcohol, and even at that, it's been years.
also, i dislike grapefruit and gravy, and hate how gel makes your hair crunchy (if it didn't do this, i'd be ok with it), i am mad at the groundhog for predicting more winter, think granny panties suck, and am not a huge fan of a lot of the fake nails (some are ok, for special occassions, but the rest of the time.. eh, not so much), gossip i get sooo sick of. and though i don't hate garlic or g-strings, i do agree that g-strings are uncomfortable, and garlic is kind of an in-between thing with me. i used to dislike it, but i eat it a lot more now.
also, i don't love grapes themselves, but i love grape flavored things, guys, gel pens (um, did most of our letters not totally get written in sparkly colored ink back in the day? ;p), the green of SPRING, grapes of wrath, games, giggles, and giveaways. i also *think* i liked jim gaffigan when i heard him, but don't know this for sure, and i have never worn gauchos.. but mainly because i'm too short to find some that actually fit. ;p
see? SOULMATES. love you!
Oh, love your list. You really made it interesting! I hate jello too, especially after eating it all day last week to get ready for a test. Does Steph know something we don't? Did you find out you are having a boy? I still say girl. But that's just me. Your bump looks frilly....Thanks for playing..
