The Love Hate List

My friend Amy Shelf made a special end of the year love/hate list and I thought I’d join along. I love making lists.

I love…

  • New Years Resolutions
  • That Tom is getting into making curries
  • How affectionate our dog is. I love that she is oozing with personality
  • Being pregnant. I feel like I’ve waited forever, so every discomfort is comforting to me
  • Moving to Portland. We are loving it here
  • Cinnamon. It’s turning out to be the strongest pregnancy craving. Sometimes the smell of it makes my eyes roll back into my head
  • I love being married
  • Changing seasons
  • My new Christmas tuke (tuque?)
  • My electric blanket
  • Orange Julius, not the crappy mall place, the ones from my own blender
  • Swimming
  • Apples! I love them more now than I ever did
  • How Mississippi smells and feels after a bath
  • All the little things that Tom does every day for us and how optimistic he always is
  • Cooking for other people and I don’t do it enough

I hate…

  • Sitting in front of a computer all day and feeling isolated
  • My art making procrastinations
  • That Mississippi eats and digs in the garden
  • How much college costs
  • How dry the winter weather makes my nose
  • That not everyone has the legal right to marry, including Californians. Boo!
  • Salt and vinegar potato chips. You might as well feed me kryptonite
  • All the species of plants and animals that are dying off from human development. We are an invasive species
  • The one friend I should be sharing this time with is the one I can’t ever seem to reconsile with
  • That my new sewing machine hates me
  • That Mississippi still pulls on her leash
  • Dealing with my hair
  • Health insurance in the US right now. Here’s hoping my children dont have to go through the same crap
