love & hate friday

love: fridays! somehow my four day work week seemed like about 12 days long

hate: sweating like a cow on my walk to work. It’s freaking hot out there!

love: my new white pants I bought yesterday and am wearing to work today. I was feeling like my mostly-black wardrobe was bringing me down

hate: that I will most likely spill something on my new white pants today; I’d be willing to put money on it actually

love: husband and I are taking the very, very first step in learning how to become homeowners tomorrow. This means that sometime someday I might get to decorate a house! Okay, so it could still be eons away, but I’m already thinking about subscribing to Elle Decor magazine.

hate: I simply cannot find a summer purse I want to buy. How is it that there can be 57 jillion purses for sale in the world and I don’t want a single one of them?

love: there has been some activity in the quest to find hubby a new job. CROSS YOUR FINGERS (and your toes for good measure, please)

love: my fabulous and thoughtful and nice and gorgeous (and handsome!) blog readers. I know I don’t reply to all your comments these days but just know that you are way too nice to me and I totally plan on keeping you around :)
Leave your loves and hates in the comments and have a fabu weekend, my darlings!


comments

  1. Just wanted to say hi. I haven’t commented lately, but I’m still reading every day! :)

  2. Sending lots of good karma down to DC for Andrew…

    love: Only three more weeks until Summer Fridays begin.

    hate: THREE MORE WEEKS????

    love: I have the weekend to myself to do lots of little projects I’ve been meaning to get to.

    hate: Missing AS on the weekend to myself!

  3. Love: That it is finally friday.

    Hate: That I have to work at El Gapo tomorrow.

    Love: That Tim and I finally made the firm decision to move to DC.

    Hate: That it’s still a year before I can even starting packing.

    Love: That I made a new friend through blogs (and he linked me through you Janet!)

    Hate: That all my favorite Seniors are graduating today and I nearly lost it when I saw them in the caps and gowns at commencement.

    Happy weekend!!

  4. Love: My new white skirt that I bought last night (awesome!)

    Hate: That I have no awesome shoes to go with it, but most wear old boring ones that I’ve worn a million times.

    Love: That we ordered lunch today

    Hate: that there is no dessert to go wtih it.

  5. In honor of your house quest:

    Love: Owning a home and having a place to call mine without worrying about painting everything back to white or ruining something so I lose my deposit money.

    Hate: Paying bills like the sewer bill, and water bill, and homeowners insurance, and real estate tax - all things I didn’t have to pay when we rented.

    Love: Having a lush, green yard to plant things and let the dog run around in.

    Hate: Having to deal with weeds, dog poo in the yard, and trees growing over power lines.

    Love: Not sharing a wall, ceiling, roof, or parking lot with anyone but hubby.

    Hate: Not being able to call maintenance when something goes wrong.

    Good luck! Let me know if you have random first time home buyer questions!

  6. Love: Amen, to the awesomeness that is Friday.

    Hate: Holy heck, it is ridiculously hot and humid here. We might even break a record. Woo.

    Love: Air-conditioned office!

    Hate: Co-workers and I went to the Greek festival for lunch and I am now a dripping mess. I swear that I sweat more than the average person ought. Hot food + hot weather = yuck.

    Love: I’m meeting up with JG and his teacher friends for a yummy Japanese dinner after their school’s graduation.

    Hate: JG left at 6:30am and I won’t see him until 8:30 tonight. Also - he has to sit outside in this sauna weather with the graduates IN A SUIT.

    Love: Ice water. And winter.

  7. Love: That my friend is taking my kids for the weekend so I can spend some quality time drinking and partying!

    Hate: That, in return, I have to baby-sit her kids on Sunday when I’ll most likely be hungover!

    Love: That Summer is here…the warm weather, the beach, the summer drinks!

    Hate: That I’m in Maine and it only lasts for 3 months!

    Love: The thought of moving to an island and totally becoming a beach bum and living a simpler life.

    Hate: That with two kids in tow, I just don’t have the balls to do it!

  8. Love: That we are fortunate enough to own a home in this (crazy! so expensive!) town.
    Hate: How insanely high maintenence this particular home is.
    Love: That we have new gardeners that are (slowly!) clearing out a bunch of stuff that I’ve told them to.
    Hate: How fat my ….entire body is, it being a rebel and having no metabolism and all.
    Love: That the weather is SO nice here.
    Hate: That I can’t go to the beach with my assitant b/c I’m working.Ok, slacking.
    Love: That Isaiah Washington got the boot, already. Consequences, bro.
    Hate: Paris Hoe-ton media circus
    Love: Seven years with the husband have gone like THAT!
    Hate: Afraid the next seven might, too.
    Love: Love and hate Fridays, your new hair and cute freckles, sitting outside with Scott playing guitar on the porch, the cats, yesterday…hillbilly style.

  9. Good luck to Andrew on the new job and good luck to you to not spill on your pretty new pants.

  10. Love: Alison posting pictures of Lily and blogging about Lily.

    Hate: Colin not posting any blogs since Lily’s been born.

    Love: having a house

    Hate: the commute.

  11. Love: Your new haircut
    Love: It’s Friday!
    Love: I am off on Monday to spend some quality time with the world’s most delicious baby (my nephew)
    Love: My sister came home from school this weekend b/c I am so tired of dealing with all these animals by myself.

  12. Oooh lots of positives going on your way.. sending you and Andrew lots of good vibes on the job front.

    The only time I’ve been sweating lately is when I’m on the treadmill.. is bloody cold here!

    Love: Weekends
    Hate: Rainy weekends
    Love: LONG weekends
    Hate: Going back to work after long weekends
    Love: Jase doing the shopping for me
    Hate: Nope.. nothing to hate about that one. Score!
