love & hate, last day of work edition
November 3rd, 2006 @ 9:31 am | love & hate | Post a Commentlove: once I get through today, I’ve got five days off before we leave for Cabo. I’m really glad I made the decision to take extra time off.
hate: that work sure has made me earn my vacation this week. I’ve been slammed.
love: homemade low-fat blueberry buttermilk pancakes
hate: that I should probably cut out carbs for the final push to slim down
love: that my officemates threw me a surprise shower yesterday! I was even sort of expecting it, yet they were able to suprise me. We ate catered breakfast goodies and they gave me a beautiful set of engraved champagne flutes.
hate: that I broke my promise to myself to go running every morning this week. I suck.
love: my new hair stylist, who gave me a fab cut this week
hate: hypocrites
love: that OMG my wedding that I have been planning forever is finally freaking happening next week and I am so excited I could pee my pants!
leave yours in the comments! Just don’t say, “love: that finally Janet might shut the eff up about her wedding one of these days soon”
I love that I have the morning off from work because I have a meeting in Silver Spring to go to… so I get to sleep in a little, watch Charmed at 9am, finish the laundry and straighten up before I leave.
I hate that I’m going to get stuck in hours of DC traffic trying to make it to my friend’s apt in Arlington when my meeting gets out at 4.
Smart, smart decision taking the extra time off of work!

Love: My husband and I are going out of town together this weekend.
Hate: He will spend most of the weekend attending conference-type meetings, while I will be in the hotel room doing stuff for work. BOOOO.

Love: That I’ll be going home tomorrow to see my husband, who I miss
Love: That I get to buy some super-fab purses for the store today, an activity which never loses it’s charm
Hate: That I have to buy tons and tons of jewelry for the store today, an activity which never gains any charm whatsoever
Hate: Being terrified that my trip home will go anything like my trip out

Love: Having a blog and getting to meet other bloggers through it.
Hate: That I’m incredibly lazy and don’t post nearly enough.
Love: That I should only be pregnant for another two months.
Hate: That those two months will probably be rife with hemorrhoids, stretch marks and increasing fear about labor.

hate: hipocrites, especially when they and their super mega church are in the town where I live so I have to hear about it all the freakin’ time.
love: that we’ll hopefully get to read a lot more about the wedding after it’s over when you tell us every last detail about it.

Darlin,
I love reading about your life… It sounds like something so vaguely familiar but so so long ago for me…
Good luck with the final ramp-up to the Big Day. Can’t wait to see pics.
