love & hate thursday

love: When the Phillies win, my husband is happy, and when he is happy, I am happy.

hate: When the World Series knocks Glee off my Wednesday night TV schedule.

love: Two (or is it three?) years later, my parents finally sold their house. So happy for them!

hate: I’ll never get to cross-country ski in their backyard in a blizzard again. Bye-bye exurban house, hello city house!

love: We got a brand new washer and dryer delivered today, finally!

hate: Sadly, it’s not much better than the old one. The curse of the tiny appliances to fit in our tiny house, I guess.

love: Thinking about sending photo Christmas cards this year. Where’s the best place to order them, perhaps Costco?

hate: Feeling grinchy about Halloween already; this does not bode well for the rest of the holiday season

love: My sister in law is getting married in less than six weeks!

hate: Perhaps I should think about getting my bridesmaids dress hemmed.

love: Our three year wedding anniversary (seriously, can you believe that?) is in a few weeks.

hate: We celebrated early already. But I bet I can convince him to take me out to a nice dinner anyway ;)

love: Went to my first ever NHL hockey game last night, and it was more fun than I expected!

hate: Being under one roof with tens of thousands of people? Pretty much guaranteed H1N1 exposure, yep.

love: Reading about the loves and hates in your lives. It’s been too long…fill me in!

  6. Love: My new computer arrived yesterday!
    Hate: My husband is out of town and I want him to set up the OS and programs in an optimal way before I really start using it.

  7. Love: I have 4 parties to attend this Halloween Weekend
    Hate: There are still more things I’d like to do but no time for them

    Love: That I don’t have to worry about getting the flu bc I got it already?
    Hate: I’m STILL coughing from over 2 weeks ago

    Love: I think my Halloween costume will rock
    Hate: I haven’t finished putting it together yet

    Love: Just applied to 2 jobs at a dream location
    Hate: Hurrying up and waiting to see if I get an interview

  8. need more time to think of my love/hates, but before I forget… best place for picture holiday cards… etsy!! find a seller who will create a jpg for you for $10-15 and then print them at wherever photo prints are cheapest! :)

    OR if you have some good photo/scrapbook software do it yourself???

  9. Glad to know I’m not the only one thinking about Xmas before Halloween is even over!

  10. oh how i love these posts.

    love: beautiful somewhat fall like weather in LA.
    hate: the wind that comes with it, as noted in today’s post, grrrr.

    love: carving pumpkins with my neighbors tonight.
    hate: pumpkin guts, eeeeeeew.

  11. I’m so happy for your parents!! (There would have been some good cross-country-blizzard-skiing in the backyard today!)

    I definitely would recommend Costco for photocards. Quite of few of my friends have used them for birth announcements and they always look great!

  12. WHOA. Two posts this week???!?!?! AND I WAS ON VACATION AND MISSED IT?? wth. ;)

  13. Love: Seeing Janet blogs pop up in my feed reader.
    Hate: I am so far gone from the blogosphere… it is as if Sass Attack never existed. :( RIP.

    Love: In the last 5 months, AS’s brother, my sister and my BFF-NYC Mere have all moved to DC! So I will come visit and hopefully meet Janet.
    Hate: Will Janet even remember what I look like when I haven’t blogged in a year? Thank god for Facebook!

    Miss you! xoxo

  14. Seriously? 3 years? I seems like it was only last year or at the most 2 years. Where has time gone? BTW, LOVE that you posted a love/hate edition again. I’ve missed your posts.

  15. Three years? No way! We can’t have been blog friends for that long, feels like just yesterday. :-)

    I must get on to this Glee bandwagon….!
