SoMi Speaks

Miscellaneous

Posted by admin on Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I’m a little all over the place today, so I decided to turn it into a love/hate fest.

Love: McGee has reborn herself in the blogosphere
Hate: Kyla Bea decided her end was here

Love: Girl Scout Cookies (heart flutters)
Hate: How unhealthy they are (sigh)

Love: Planning a summer vacation out west
Hate: That some places we want to visit don’t allow dogs

Love: People who hold grudges
Hate: That I can’t call them out on their misery (because then they might hold it against me … forever)

Love: My new workout pants
Hate: They don’t stay up when I run and I only found that out after I was on the treadmill

Love: Interval training (30 seconds springing, 30 seconds resting)
Hate:
High-end treadmills that sense when you’re not running and stop working to avoid injury

Love: Our new TV for the kitchen
Hate: That we need the cable guy to come out to get it working

Love: Refinancing to a lower rate
Hate: Being financially punished for not having enough equity in our home, despite the fact we’ve never missed a payment and always pay on time

Love: SoMi
Hate: How she expects us to stay with her at all times and gives us sad puppy dog eyes when we leave

Ummm, yeah. That’s it. Nothing left upstairs. Anyone care to join me?
Love:
Hate:

    My pants don’t stay up on the treadmill either and I hate that. But I love how the pants make my legs look… so I will keep wearing them :p

  2. Hotch Potchery Says:

    Love: Getting to go to Mr. P’s IMAX opening today.

    Hate: That it is at 9am, in a town an HOUR away.

    My mornings are my bloggy time, so unless people updated super early, I will have to catch up tomorrow!

    :)

  3. Christina Says:

    I love/hate the mortgage thing too. I would love to refinance but we can’t. It is very frustrating. Oh and the thing about the girl scout cookies.

    Love: that in a few months I will be getting married to my best friend.
    Hate: The opnions and second guessing that we are faced with because we are not doing things by the book.

    Love: that the weather is warm
    Hate: that I am working and can’t enjoy it.

  4. Miss Musing Says:

    I miss Kyla’s blog too. I’ve never heard of McGee so I’ll have to check out her blog!

    My dog is the same way. Those adorable puppy eyes get me every time!

  5. Marie Says:

    I miss Kyla too! But understand why she needed to do it.

    The workout pants one made me laugh. The same thing has happened to me before and the entire time I was running, I had to keep pulling them up. So annoying!

    Love: Playing soccer with some of my co-workers.
    Hate: My body because it’s giving me major payback after practice yesterday.

  6. Melange Says:

    Girl Scout cookies are delicious. The samoas (or whatever they’re new name is) are worth the unhealthiness for sure.

  7. Kristen Says:

    Love: Feeling the baby kick.
    Hate: It’s kicking me in the cervix.

  8. Matt Says:

    So wherer you guys thinking about going on vacation to?

    California?

    Vegas?

  9. Mandy Says:

    Love: That my stephbrother and his family leave Saturday morning.
    Hate: That they will probably leave a big mess/dirty dishes behind for someone else to clean up.

    Love: That today is Thursday and closer to the weekend.
    Hate: At the moment, the weekend still seems so far away.

  10. Karen Says:

    I love spending time with my friends. I hate dragging at work the next day because I stayed out too late.

  11. Shannon Says:

    Love: That your pants were falling down on the treadmill!

    Hate: The sad puppy eyes. I get them about 500 times a day. So difficult.

    And: I have house guests this weekend and am going out of town next weekend, so our meetup may be pushed in to next year! Ugh!

  12. Sizzle Says:

    Love: Sleep.
    Hate: Not enough to sleep.

    Love: Spying on people via the internets.
    Hate: What spying on people via the internets turns up.

    Love: Being right.
    Hate: Being right.

  13. wafelenbak Says:

    Ha, Sizzle’s last one is a good one. I have to agree on that.
    This may be the obvious choice, but…
    Love: The weather is getting so nice.
    Hate: Now everyone is going to get sick if they haven’t already b/c of the temperature cahnge.

  14. Surfergrrl Says:

    I somehow missed being around girl scout cookies this year. Thankfully, I guess. I love the peanut butter ones.

    Love:The fact that the weather forecast is starting to look really nice.
    Hate:The fact that I work in a dimly lit room.

    But

    Love: That the weather forecast is supposed to remain nice for the rest of the weekend.
    Hate: What could I hate about that!? :)

  15. Jess Says:

    Love: Your trip out west. Come visit!
    Hate: That I have to wait a whole HOUR for doggie time!

  16. Jamie Says:

    I also hate that Kyla Bea is vanished.

    I do love though, that the weather is incredible today.

  17. Alice Says:

    hate: the fact that no one in the office asked me to buy girl scout cookies from their kids

    love: THERE IS NO LOVE. NOT WITHOUT THIN MINTS.

  18. Karla Says:

    Love that I get to work with so many people from different disciplines

    Hate that some of them are completely self-absorbed

    Did you try petfriendlytravel.com? We always consult there before we hit the road.

  19. Lily Says:

    Love: Discovering yesterday that I can hang out with JR with absolutely no animosity or awkwardness.
    Hate: Discovering yesterday that I can hang out with JR with absolutely no animosity or awkwardness.

    :)

    Love: That tomorrow is Friday.
    Hate: That it’s not payday.

    Love: Public Radio app on my iPhone

  20. adriana Says:

    Love: I get paid today.

    Haha. And I thought I was the only one whose workout pants fall off when I am on the treadmill.

  26. LiLu Says:

    Love: That my office decided to throw a surprise champagne-and-cake birthday celebration for our boss today

    Hate: That it’s at 5. And I usually leave at 5. Now I’m either the asshole who won’t stay for cake and champagne, or late for drinks with my real friends.

  27. Katie Says:

    LOVE: Movies
    HATE: When nothing good is on :P
