love and hate weekend edition
May 7th, 2006 @ 9:51 pm | love & hate | Post a Commentlove: my mom, who came to visit this weekend. She had a business trip in Baltimore, so she flew out early to hang with me. We always have a fun time together just walking, talking, eating, and lounging. And neither of us had ever been to B-more before today!
hate: that I haven’t lost 20 pounds already in the 48 hours I’ve been on the Shangri La Diet. Wasn’t the weight supposed to just melt off? Just kidding — I know nothing will happen this quickly. I just hope that I will have results by Day 14. So far, drinking oil is really not bad. It’s more of a mental grossness than a real physical one. Really.
love: that I am going to Mexico with my mom in one short month! Let’s hope my passport gets delivered to me this week.
hate: that I don’t have a rooftop deck and/or a pool. Cause that would be nice, don’t you think?
love: Pilates classes at my gym. I just discovered them but I already eagerly anticipate my Monday and Thursday evenings, which are now filled with balance, serenity, and buff abs. (Bonus: they are FREE!)
hate: Grey’s Anatomy (who’s with me on this one?), that I can’t afford both an iBook and Lasik surgery (or frankly, either one), and tomorrow’s weather forecast of “Cold and Wet.”
love: the final episodes of West Wing, bronzer, arugula, soft serve ice cream, and all the flowers blooming in my neighborhood.
Add your own in the comments!
love: yummy black bean cakes that were a success this weekend.
hate: that we might have to break up because I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy with my SOUL.
love: that you are crazy like me and are willing to try drinink oil for a “diet.” we are odd.
hate: 2 days of rain and cold weather in MAY
love: wearing a turtleneck..in MAY!

Hate: Grey’s Anatomy… You knew I’d be with you! It is just that Big Love or that Tori Spelling Show are much more entertaining and on at the same time.
Love: Your mom! She’s so cute.
Hate: Rainy Mondays and the Doorman at work. I do not want to be his friend, especially when I am grouchy due to the rain…
Love: Being able to wear dress boots just one more time.

I can’t believe you’ve never been to Baltimore before! It’s really not that bad here! and everything is cheap!
I did a juice fast once, I know exactly what you mean by the mental grossness being worse than the taste… by the end I was plugging my nose and chugging the carrot juice back like it was vodka. The Shangri-la diet sounds interesting though. I am a sucker for these type of things.
Don’t mourn the lack of a rooftop deck too much. They’re kind of overrated. We never use ours. It’s really hot (no shade) and really windy up there!
Love: the spring weather
Hate: that all my outside plants are dying. WHY??

Love: Grey’s Anatomy!! I’m sorry, but I’m a sucker for medical dramas, especially when it’s more about romance than anything medical
Hate: The housing prices in my hometown.
Love: That I get to stop working in less than a month!
Hate: That I won’t still be getting a paycheck in less than a month!

Hate: Forgetting an umbrella when it’s raining out.
Hate: Spilling Starbucks on myself when my hands are full.
Hate: Automatically flushing toilets that flush too early (= all of them).
Hate: Frizzy hair caused by the above-mentioned rain.
Hate: Not dressing warmly enough even though you clearly heard on the weather report that it’s supposed be in the goddamn 50′s today. Idiot.
Can you tell I’m having a bad day?
At least this past weekend was lovely!

I love Spanx too. But only on this site and in the safety of all of you girls will I admit that I recently needed to buy some.

I love my baby, my husband and my cat.
And I hate it when the SUN isn’t out.
(Dude, why do I live in Seattle? Oh…because the summer’s rock. So…let’s be summer time ALREADY!)
(Hooray for your upcoming trip to Mexico!)
