By the looks of it, I believe neither in responsibility nor efficiency, since I spent an inordinate amount of time on Thursday night hopping from one website's list of links to another.  Poof!  Hours gone by!  Work not done!  Lunches not made!  Kitchen...well, you know.  It's the kitchen.

Via WRH (awesome site, tell friends), through to Republic of Dogs, and then to Super Secret Anonymous Sarah, I arrived at a List of Things She Doesn't Believe In...which seemed ripe for the picking.



Things I Don't Believe In

1)  Chiropractors.  I believe that people who call themselves Chiropractors exist, but I do not believe that what they "practice" has any basis in science or medicine. 

2)  Astrology.    Because...really.

3)  Psychics.    See "Astrology."

4)  Being a vegan.  I get it, in theory.  But it seems to me there's a food chain for a reason.

5)  The literal interpretation of the central text of any religion.  Except for maybe The Joy of Cooking.  Because who else is going to tell you how to skin a beaver's tail and prepare it to eat?

6)  That Tom Cruise is anything other than entirely crazy and egomaniacal.  Nor do I accept that his wife actually loves him. 

7)  White leather handbags.

8)  Intelligent life on other planets.  Who's kidding who, I barely believe in intelligent life on THIS planet.

9)  Lost memory recovery as a form of therapy or cathartic life experience.

10)  Love at first sight.

In the interest of fairness, and as an attempt to make amends to anyone I've offended by the above list, have at me. 

Preposterous Things I DO Believe In

1)  You can tell everything you need to know about a man by his shoes.

2)  What goes around, comes around.  Karma is a bitch.

3)  A mom can diagnose an illness in her own child at 50 feet and three days before symptoms present.

4)   You can tell if someone is nice or mean based entirely on physical appearance.

5)  Money might not buy happiness, but it can buy time, spa treatments, and kick ass leather goods.

6)  If you lose something, 9 times out of 10, a prayer to St. Anthony works.

7)   Bad things happen in threes.

8)  Owls are bad omens.

9)   People don't want freedom OF choice, they want freedom FROM choice.  (I'm not talking about abortion...that's your business.)

10)  Everything happens for a reason.
