I love…

  • that the rains have finally arrived
  • that Mr. Gadget installed fan timers in the bathrooms, without me even asking
  • that Mr. Snazzy Pants has forgotten about his pacifier (and it’s a good thing, as I have absolutely no idea where the last surviving ‘binkie’ is)
  • that today is Friday and there is a remote possibility that I can get a full night’s sleep tonight
  • that TV season is back in swing (Prison Break on Monday, House on Tuesday, Bones on Wednesday, Grey’s Anatomy and Without a Trace on the horizon)
  • that my new popcorn popper does a bang up job and meets with my (very hard to come by) approval

I do not love…

  • that my blog goes belly up on such a regular basis
  • that all my web sites go belly up so frequently
  • that I have web sites to support
  • that the culprit is probably my web host service
  • that I can’t determine, for certain, precisely what is the cause of such bad behavior
  • that I made a fabulous family web site for the in-law side of my family, and thus far, almost nobody uses it
  • that I upgraded my fabulous family web site with super-fabulous features like a categorized photo gallery and personal control over posts, uploads, and comments, and, thus far, I’ve heard nothing but complaints from the peanut gallery regarding how slow it is and how difficult it is to use, and how it basically sucks
  • that, thus far, only one person (other than myself) has even tried to use the fabulous new site, that person being a certain gadget enamored individual, recently referred to as the peanut gallery
  • that I have lost the art of punctuation (which some people, more than others, and myself included, find distressing)
  • that Mr. Gadget has the wi-fi capable laptop tucked away in his work van (and why   Why   “Because it’s mine,” he says, “and why can’t I keep it where I want it ” To which I ask, “what possible use is it, out there ”  To which, the non-answer is, “Because it’s mine, and why can’t I keep it where I want it “
  • that almost all conversations with the peanut gallery are similarly productive
  • that I can think of far more things for this part of the list, than for the glass half full list

Who says the glass always has to be half full anyway What’s wrong with a third full That’s still pretty good going in this ole world, yes

glad to hear you have rain when you want it, tv that’s worth the eyestrain and at least the chance of a good night’s sleep… oh, and popcorn, of course!
