i love/i hate

Oh, WHY must things be so black and white with me?!  I am tortured by my own starkness of opinions; it is or it isn't, it's high or it's low, I love it or I hate it.  I like to say that I'm just "passionate" and that is the reason for such extremity.  For your reading pleasure, a list of my loves and hates:

I love peach ice cream.
I hate grocery shopping.
I love reading good, purposeful, profound books.
I hate when I run out of washer fluid in my car.

I love driving with my sunroof open.
I hate the smell of hair that hasn't been washed in a while.
I love the my beautiful Anna wears glasses.
I hate getting the mail.
I love blackened, barbequed hot dogs.  With a LOAD of ketchup on it.

I hate, hate, HATE when people say "lady" to refer to a woman younger than 50 years old.
I love that my dogs sleep in my bed.
I hate finding a parking place at Weber State.
I love that I know what I want to do with my life.

I love when my grandparents come to dinner.
I hate unrequited love.
I love going to the dentist.
I hate the feeling of a cat purring.

I hate CBS news.
I love Fox news.
I hate Mike Huckabee.
I love Chris Christie.

I hate that I can't stop driving fast.
I love my backpack.
I hate when anyone besides me loads the dishwasher.
I love sitting on my porch and waiting for my kids to walk home from school.
I hate putting gas in my car.  It's so time consuming and annoying.
I love fine point Sharpies.
I hate that I don't have a storage room.

I hate that I could go on and on . . .
I love that I could go on and on . . .

I have some of the same thing. I totally understand the dishwasher thing, no one else can maximize the space correctly.

I used to be a love or hate kind of person. Then the titisyears came along and the life experiences. Now I am more mellow. It's easier that way. I am less judgmental and see things from many different points of view. I am still passionate about religion and politics, though. By the way, I loved your concert and am in awe of your musical and leadership talents. Love, your favorite aunt

At least 24 will be coming to a theater near you. Maybe they'll do 24 of them...

At least other people besides you actually load your dishwasher and not just put dishes in teh sink, on the couch, in the bedroom, etc. etc....maybe if you think of it that way, you'll like it more? :)

I enjoy mustard on my blackened hot dogs...I couldn't stand the smell of ketchup when I was prego so it has been hard ever since.

Love shoes too. Hate it when people are obsessed with writing their status on facebook at all--I don't need to know what you're doing ALL DAY LONG. Hate dogs. Blasphemy, I know :)

Love YOU! Love your POST! Good talking to you the other day, even under such terrible circumstances. Let me know if you got Kristin's address--it was a weird way to send it that I haven't done before.

Anyway, see you soon I hope :)
