love & hate thursday

love: six (as in 6 5 4 3 2 1 DONE) work days left at the job. And then they’re throwing me a party!

hate: I love 90% of my job, and it’s going to be hard to leave. But we’ll tackle that next week.

love: I think it might be fun to make out with David Cook.

hate: I can’t believe I just admitted that. I don’t even watch the dumb show!

love: when Weight Watchers works

hate: when I fall off the wagon. I really need to get back on. I suck.

love: should I buy these shoes?

hate: or save my pennies? I need honest opinions!

love: we planted some hydrangeas in the front yard and I already love them

hate: I have no clue how to care for them. Perhaps I should read up?

love: so many recipes I want to try out

hate: we never seem to both be home in time to make or eat dinner together these days. Oh yeah, it’s an election year. Maybe in 2009…

love: guess what I’m playing this weekend? Roller hockey!

hate: no broken bones, please! (I’m not playing for real, just for fun down the street)

love: your loves & hates, even if wordpress/yahoo doesn’t want to email them to me, for some unknown reason (grrrrr)

  1. I would also like to make out with David Cook. He totally bartended at a place here in Tulsa before American Idol.

    Yes you should buy the shoes.

  2. I love hydrangeas! We planted like 8 last year in different colors and styles. They are so pretty and low maintence. Oddly, the one that is doing the best is a cutting from our neighbor’s bush that we stuck in a corner and basically ignored. It’s huge this year and already starting to bud when the others are pretty dinky.

    I love those shoes but I wish they weren’t such a dusky color, a more clear aqua/turquoise I would not be able to resist.

  3. LOVE: My birthday is next Wednesday!
    HATE: I’m turning 30. Boo!

    LOVE: I always get a long weekend for my birthday!
    HATE: Someone always gets married that weekend. We’re headed to Buffalo, NY for a wedding…

    LOVE: It’s almost summertime!
    HATE: It doesn’t really feel like it–too chilly for May!

  4. LOVE: My bridal shower is this weekend!
    HATE: I have to drive back to NY to go to it and gas is $4 up there

    LOVE: We’re also going on a wine tour along Seneca Lake
    HATE: I will probably only try the white wines…never been a red wine fan

  5. Love: 4 day weekend
    Hate: The big BBQ I usually attend on the Sunday before Mem Day has been cancelled this year.

  6. Were those shoes on sale for $24.72 when you linked to them? Because for that price, it’s a no-brainer. YES! Buy them! And I say that honestly, from a penny-pinching perspective.

  7. The shoes are super cute and so cheap! That would be a hard shade of blue for me to wear (like what Rachel said), but if you have stuff to go with it, I’d say to buy them. And I hardly ever encourage the shopping habit! :)

    Do you get any time off between your old job and the new one?

    Love: Mission: Put Together! I’m so tickled that people are having fun.
    Hate: My list of “to buy” items has increased exponentially as a result.

    Love: That I don’t want to die after I run for 14 (!) minutes.
    Hate: That my calves want to kill me the next day.

    Love: Long weekend!

  8. Love: Today is my 2 yr. anniversary
    Hate: I still have no idea what we’re going to do tonight to celebrate.

  9. LOVE those shoes! and $25? i’m thinking that’s a definitely MUST HAVE. (for me AND you) ;)

    love: that tonight is the first night in two weeks i have NOTHING to do and NOWHERE to go. DVR will get some much needed attention!

    hate: that i don’t have a certain someone to snuggle on the couch with while catching up on my DVR.

    love: that i FINALLY joined mission put together.

    hate: that i joined so LATE. i think this should go on past may. agreed?

  10. Love: The David Cook Guitar Hero commerical.. le swoon!!
    Hate: That he doesn’t live in Texas.. such a shame ;)

    Love: The 4 day weekend.
    Hate: That my assistant is taking her bridal portraits on Saturday so I have to work a few hours.. blah!!

    P.S. – I am LOVING those shoes. Totally cute and such a bargain!!

  11. Love: David Cook and also want to make out with him

    Hate: That it won’t ever happen!

  12. Love: It’s so beautiful out today!
    Hate: That I got ANOTHER stupid farmers tan yesterday. You can really call me a red neck and not be joking right now!

  13. Roller hockey?!?! You tough chick! Sounds fun!

    Love: That I only have 49 days left of work.

    Hate: That each of them will be mostly miserable.

    Love: My upcoming bachelorette, relax-before-summer-craziness-begins weekend.

    Hate: That today is not Friday.

    (Hmm… someone is mighty negative on her job, no?)

  14. love: that i finally joined a gym and have been every day this week so far!
    hate: that this was a not-busy week for me and the gym still ate up most of my free time, so i’m not sure how this will go on busy weeks. (this also means i haven’t eaten dinner with my fiance at all this week, which i’m not really OK with happening all the time.)

    love: three day weekend that i’m not traveling for!
    hate: feeling like i’m wasting a good opportunity to travel.

    glad you want to try to black bean cakes!

    and also, i personally wouldn’t buy the shoes. i don’t like the canvas, if that’s what that material is. and they’d be hard to match. BUT i also have weaknesses when it comes to cute shoes that are on sale, so i might give in, too. guess i’m no help.

  15. okay you should totally get those shoes, they’re only 25 and so cute.

    as for me.
    love: tomorrow is a half day.
    hate: i still have to get through today, haha.

  16. Just wanted to say hello and congrats on the new job. I found your blog through Marriage-101.

    Love: When my daughter takes long naps
    Hate: When she wakes up with a poop disaster

    Love: When someone new starts reading my blog
    Hate: When said new person discusses their child’s poop in the comments

  17. Love: Spending the day at the park with my students
    Hate: Sending them off to Kindergarten

    Definitely get the shoes!

  18. Those are adorable shoes! (I noticed the biggest size they have is like a 7.5 though, which would be way too small for my 9-9.5 self.)

    I bet your co-workers will miss you even more than you’ll miss leaving! How lucky you are, and how loved you must be, for them to throw you a party. :)

    Roller hockey? I’d be scared…

  19. I think you should buy the shoes! They are really cute and springy.
    I know I’m a day late, but….

    Love: That I’m going to AZ next week!
    Hate: That I tried on my swimsuits yesterday, and nearly cried.

  20. don’t get the shoes. save your pennies. i predict there will be bigger better badder shoes in your future!

  21. I TOTALLY want to make out with David Cook.

  22. Love: David Cook
    Love: Hydrangeas (they are one of my wedding flowers! EEK!)
    Hate: That my wedding will be over in a week.
    Love: That I will be in Dominican Republic in one week!
