i like this, but...

Today's post will be dedicated to things I like...but also hate.

1. I like that women and men are, essentially, equal in many facets of life, which is a good thing...but I hate when younger men push their way in front of old ladies in the bus line. I mean, seriously? You're going to let a poor little granny with a little travel cart of groceries wait out in the rain while you hop on the bus so you can call some chick who doesn't even want to talk to you anyway b/c it's around dinner time and she's trying to eat a salad? You're not even going to help the old lady with her cart? Seriously?? Is a little bit of chivalry too much to ask for??!

2. I like that Greek yogurt has twice as much protein as regular yogurt...but why does it have to taste like raw sourdough? But everyone seems to be on this Greek yogurt craze! I've tried a couple of brands and flavors, though, and am determined to find a go-to Greek yogurt b/c that extra protein is for real. I decided to try fasting for Lent, which mostly means I don't eat lunch. The little bit of extra protein in the Greek yogurt really tides me over! Too bad it tastes like old milk...which I guess it is...hmm. Ew. Why is it that most types of dairy is kind of gross if you think about it too hard?

3. I like that my company is trying to be more environmentally-friendly...but I'm sad that we no longer have plastic coffee stirrers, which I used to double as a straw. Yes, I drink coffee through a straw. I, too, scoffed at it when I first saw my friend Anna doing it. And then I tried it and my entire coffee-drinking experience was changed for the better. Try it sometime, if your company hasn't switched to using those skinny wooden popsicle sticks. I've taken to stealing regular drinking straws from the cafeteria...b/c awesome coffee-drinking requires a cylindrical drinking tube made of rainforest burning, ozone-destroying, baby seal-killing plastic. Yum.
