What I Love and what I Hate right.this.secondJuly 2nd, 2007 @ 7:01 am
Welcome to Monday morning. (Hey, it’s still morning here on the West Coast.) And since it’s still early-ish, we’re all about the bullet points.
To borrow from loveisblonde, I present you with what I’m thinking about right.this.second.
- Loving the three hours Babboo and I spent in our swimming pool on Saturday with three of my good friends and their three kids. We played in the water until we were prunes.
- Hating that I got peed on by Babboo two times while I was changing him in and out of his swimming suit. Thanks, kid.
- Loving the Seattle weather this weekend. Please, please stick around.
- Loving that I got a myspace message from Rhett Miller today. For reals. I mean he really typed it out and everything. For reals!
- Hating that now I’m nervous that Rhett might have actually read this blog. You know, since I gave him the URL and told him to do a “quick search for your name to see that I’m a true fan”. Gulp.
- Loving that I’ll have more to report on this whole Rhett Miller/Old 97’s adventure after tomorrow.
- Hating that I can’t stop grinning.
- Loving the huge 4th of July pool party we’re throwing this Wednesday.
- Loving that the weather should be in the 80’s on Wednesday.
- Hating the prep work for said party. (How many kabobs should I plan on making for the 30 people that are coming?)
- Loving that The King and I went to see Ocean’s 13 this weekend. First movie we’ve seen in the theater since Babboo was born.
- Loving our friends for agreeing to babysit for us so we could see the movie.
- Hating that The King and I don’t get to go out like that as often. (We will have to do this again when The Bourne Ultimatum comes out in August. We love the Bourne movies.)
So tell me, what’s on your mind this Monday morning?

Isabel,
I found that when throwing extravagant parties that the number of kabobs depends greatly upon the number of delicious side dishes also being presented. If the side dishes are plentiful and you are confident in their ability to climb into the stomachs of those attending, 3 kabobs per person will suffice. If you lack confidence 4-5 kabobs should suffice.

SHUT.UP. I am so, so, so, jealous of you right now. I’ll probably be even more jealous tomorrow

Gah! I want to see Ocean’s 13. It’s hard to keep up. We saw Ratatouille instead, and loved it!

How was Ocean’s 13 anyway?
Yes, I will bring the cookies! I was planning on it before you said anything!
Ohh, and WE saw Ratatouille and triple loved it! It was sooo adorable.
What did Rhett have to say?
Right now, I’m loving: YOU!

Love: That Luke is making steak tonight.
Hate: That I was on hold with AT&T for almost THREE HOURS BEFORE a “Due to technical problems, we are unable to take your call at this time” message popped and disconnected me. UGH.

I don’t really care about the Ocean’s or Bourne movies, but I am very excited (on your behalf, of course) about the personal attention from Rhett!! I very much share your love of that boy.

You are such a rockstar, Isabel.
Love: that my nephew’s dad showed up, all surprise-like, to take him out. Free day off, yays!
Also Love: That my husband was off today
Hate: Post Herpetic Neuralgia. That’s pretty much it. Hate it in general but especially the fact that I have it. Grrr

I saw Ocean’s 13 as well, but with friends. My husband was a little mad…
Good luck with the party…
