Love:

• Having paid holiday from Dec 24th through Jan 3rd.  One of the few perks left about my job.
• Surprise Christmas Gifts.  One from my Mom.  The other was from my friend, Amy.  Both were awesome and completely unexpected.  Thank you both again!!
• Mythbusters marathon.  It's one of those shows I used to watch all the time with my Dad.  For some reason, it's taken a long time for me to open up and start watching it again.  Anyhow, I've recorded a bunch on the DVR and watched some here and there.
• Catching up with old friends.
• The book, The Zombie Survival Guide.  Tongue and Cheek?  Yes, but it's entertaining.
• The podcast, Busted Halo.  I'm, by all means, not a religious person, but find certain aspects of religion interesting.  This podcast spares you on the preaching and is more of a questions and answers type of show.  I guess it's what I would like to get out of going to church without the drawn out preaching and singing.  Now if I can find something similar on other religions.

• People not turning on Red when they can.
• Expected to fix every problem at work just because it involves 1s and 0s.

Love:

• My new bed.  Expensive?  Yes, but oh so worth it!
• Reading.  I finished another Spencer book the other night.  I need to make more time to just read.
• Getting our salary at work, fully re-instated before January.  It feels like I got a raise again!!
• Buying music from Amazon/iTunes.  This isn't new, but growing up, I paid way too much for CDs where only one or two songs were good.  Buying ala' cart is awesome!

Love:

• The TV show - Castle.  Just discovered it today, on-line.
• Old scary movies, which in turn, aren't scary.
• Batman graphic novels.  Great to read when you are feeling like crap.
• Organic 1% Milk.  Decided to switch down from 2%.  Organic is the only way to fly if you dare make the move.
• Using a shaving brush and soap.  I haven't used it in a while.  I forgot how awesome it is.  
• Molasses Cookies - I treated myself to a box of Archways.  Actually, there's not an Archway cookie that I don't like!
  

Going to be a short one tonight...

• The Prototype Process in Oracle.
• Leaving my main iPod at work.
• This one person from work.  (actually two people)
• X-Men Origins - Wolverine.  I finally saw it.  Guess I had higher expectations.

• That I'm addicted to Facebook.
• People who talk loud on their cell phones in coffee shops.
• Wendy's Chicken Ceaser Salad - Had one for lunch today, nasty.
• The weather - the times I do want to go out, it's been miserable.
• People not backing up their data.  If you need help or have questions, ask me.  I'll try to get you started.
  

Love:

• Getting back in the habit of lifting.  There are times where I miss my old philosophy of No pain, No pain.  However, I'm starting to feel better about myself, even though I have minimal use of my arms and my chest hurts.
• The leaves are starting to change.
• My crazy dreams.  Lord knows I have issues.  Last night I dreamed that I was hanging with Joe Paterno.  I have no idea why I picked him, but there he was.
• My iPod.  I know I bring it up often, but it does provide me much happiness.
• The first two episodes of Family Guy this season have been outrageously funny.
  

Loathe:

• Piddling away the morning.  Especially when it's my day off.
• Not being at a beach.  It's cold and misty outside. 
  
• Creepy people.  Sorry if I sound judgmental, but there's a bunch huddled around a big table, here at the coffee shop.  They're kinda spooky looking
  
• An overcooked steak.  (Oh it breaks my heart)
• Buying a song and become sick of it after 4 plays. 
  
• Wanting to buys a song off of iTunes or Amazon and it's an "album only" track.

Love:

• Making the best of it.  Yes, it's cold and gray outside.  Perfect weather to camp at the coffee shop with a good book.
• College Football.  This is probably the most I've watched.  I normally just watch my Buckeye's play "Tressle Ball" and that's it.  Watching all kinds of great games this season.
• The season opener for NCIS.  Thought it was pretty solid. 
  
• My Boss' sense of humor.  I'm glad he has one.  It's probably why I'm still employed.  (If not getting fired, quit)
• I'm grateful that I'm employed.
  
• Halloween is around the corner.  Bring on the monster flics!
• Cleaning out one of my closets and filling up a 30 gallon trash bag worth of crap (God, I have a lot of crap)
• Lifting.  I just started up again.  Yes, I'm in misery, but it's a good pain.  I just need to make it a habit.
• Shaving using shaving soap and brush.  I normally don't mess with it during the summer, but I've gotten back in the groove again. I just need to get a better brush (on that doesn't shed).
