Loving/Not Loving

Loving

My iPod. I've fallen in love with it all over again. I'm reacquainting myself with REM, Depeche Mode & Cowboy Mouth. REM = My heart. Nightswimming is one of my fave songs.

Wine. Garnacha from Spain to be exact. Luscious, juicy & fruity.

New restaurants here in Chicago. We all know I love a good meal. I love to dine. In the past weeks I have had spectacular escolar with peppers, delightful bahn mi, a fantastic mole and really tasty Neopolitan pizza. There are just so many great little restaurants to explore.

The new boy. Not much more to say, except I don't love him obviously, but we're having fun. Enough said.

Chicago Cares. Oh my, I never expected to love my time with these kids so much. I really enjoy our time together each Saturday morning.

Work. What? Yes. Work has been challenging, but I'm learning some great new things and get some much valued experience under my belt. It's nice to be respected by my peers and superiors.

My Sigg bottle. Now that I don't live in the desert of Phoenix, it's been hard to drink as much water as I should. My shiny red bottle on my desk helps remind me.

Not Loving

Cat Litter. Is there a cat little fairy that can come scoop the poop everyday?

And while the litter fairy is here, can she also take out the trash? I don't know why it's such a chore, but I hate.taking.out.the.trash!

People's Gas, my gas company. I'm on the "equalizer" plan where my bills are averaged out for the year and I'm on automatic payment. Why then did I get a bill for $351 this week? What the heck? Of course, customer service was closed by the time I called tonight.

Packing. The thought of packing and moving again is daunting. This will be the fourth move in two years for me. Fortunately, this time I should be staying put for a while. At least three years is the goal.

Facebook. I'm kinda over it. Really don't like the new format. Blech.

Disorganization. I'm feeling the need to organize my office better. Part of it has to do with moving and wanting to have a clean, fresh start in my new office.

Rude people on public transportation. Lately, I've encountered a fair share of loud talkers, people who take up a seat with their bags or folks who won't give up a seat to an elderly person or pregnant lady. Sheesh.
