Long post, but it's been awhile. Have to make up for lost ground. Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy time with family and friends and find more things to love than hate...
I love rain, but I hate wet feet.
I love working on x-mas gifts at work, but I hate stupid pointless meetings.
I love ornament parties and hot chocolate, but I hate driving 45 minutes to get to them.
I love catching up with friends I haven't talked to in awhile, but I hate that all your best friends can't live in the same town as you.
I love taking pictures, but I hate being in them.
I love watching movies, but I hate that many are ruined by the addition of too many sequels.
I love designing things, but I hate work that is tedious and monotonous.
I love corn on the cob from our garden, but I hate corn chowder (whatever that's comprised of).
I love a good run, but I hate the lack of motivation to accomplish such when the weather turns bad.
I love x-mas shopping for people, but I hate going to the mall the weekend before x-mas.
I love the traditions of Mom's thumbprint cookies and x-mas morning sausage balls, but I hate missing the tree decorating.
I love not having homework every night, but I hate only having a few days off for x-mas as opposed to a whole month. (And Spring Break? What's that?)
I love watching little kids get excited about opening presents, but I hate knowing there are many who don't get to feel that excitement.
I love my new apartment, but I hate the path it took to get to this point.
I love giving gifts to people and watching the opening of them, but I hate wondering if they really like it or if they're just pretending.
I love the contrast between country life and city life, but I hate rush hour traffic.
I love new adventures, but I hate change.
I love a good cup of coffee in the morning, but I hate when the grounds go through the filter and end up in your cup.
I love being able to wear jeans and flip flops to work, but I hate when people around me feel the need to wear high heels and skirts everyday.
I love surprises from people, but I hate the feeling that you should give something in return, though you weren't planning on it.
I love 'O Holy Night' and 'Ukranian Bell Carol', but I hate radio stations that start playing x-mas music before Thanksgiving and stores that have x-mas trees one aisle over from their Halloween costumes.
I love good music and movies.
I love sitting in front of the fireplace when it's cold outside.
I love wrapping packages with Mom and Dad.
I love snow when you haven't seen any in a long time.
I love when people make you feel like the most important person in the world.
I love the smell of rain.
I love the feeling you have on x-mas eve and x-mas morning.
I love my family and the time I get to spend with them.
I love friends that you know are your friends for life.
I love Christmastime.....
