Things That Must Go.

1. Chalk. I do not understand the re-emergence of chalk in decorating. Chalk is messy! Don't people know this? Half the pictures on Pinterest show chalkboards put in all sorts of places. Not only is the actual chalk piece messy to touch, the board is messy and the erasers are messy. After one erase it is difficult to read the new message if the board isn't cleaned with spray and a rag. I don't understand why the church continues to place chalk boards in every classroom, white erase boards are so superior.

2. Arkansas Parking Lots. I can't speak for all of Arkansas, but in our area we have a large amount of badly designed parking lots. Perhaps there is a great deficency of civil engineers in Arkansas. There is no way to get into the drive through of the Bella Vista Mcdonald's without first driving all the way around the building. My gym is located in the strip mall with the Krispy Kreme, and I think there should be an award given to that mall for most awkard parking lot layout in the country. It is impossible to turn out of it without blocking three different roads. My greatest headache was Mae's therapy clinic. It is located in a office park and I swear whatever the regulation size for parking spots is; their's are 4 inches smaller. It doesn't help that all the cars going in and out are large mini-vans, and often handicaped vans.

3. Mitt Romney.

I LOATHE chalk. I went to an Auxiliary Training Mtg last week and someone was writing with a little piece of chalk and it was squeaking like crazy and it just drove me nuts. In fact, I have a physical reaction just remembering it. I actually had to plug my ears for a minute, which I tried to do without seeming totally rude. I totally don't know why chalk still exists.
