Today's Love/Hate List

HATE:
1. Scabs - They are ugly. There must be a prettier way to heal.

2. My elbows - I have tennis elbows or something, even though I don't play tennis. They're killing me. Plus, one has a scab on it.

3. The gym - It was a super crowded Monday today.

4. Guys who mill around waiting for me to finish using a machine at the gym - Unless you are standing there admiring how gorgeous I am when I'm red and sweaty, please give me at least 5 feet of breathing room. Ok dudes?

5. My dirty car - I need to stop parking under that sticky maple tree at work. Maybe I can get Dad to wash it.

LOVE:
1. $4.25 gas - I never thought I'd say it. It's awesome paying less than $50 to fill up!

2. Compliments - My manager told me the feature I wrote about the house in Capitola (see previous posting) was the best I've ever written. And I think she was serious. I wish I could post some of the stuff I write on here, but I feel kind of weird about it. Plus, a lot of the stuff I write is ghost written for other people. So, it would be weird posting something and then it runs in the Examiner or Chronicle under someone else's name.

3. Blog comments - How cool is it that someone in New Zealand read my blog, let alone commented on it?!?! Thanks Cafe Chick!

4. Nob Hill - Normally I hate grocery stores, but the one by my gym is so open and pretty that I'm considering moving in. It should be no surprise though...it IS in San Ramon.

5. Emails from friends - I re-read an email a friend had sent me about my twitch posting. I always love her emails. She writes almost in free form, as if she doesn't realize she's writing an email and just tells her stories like she would in person. And she always includes little details in her stories in a vivid way. Love it!
