There are certain things of this Earth that I both love and hate at the same time. I was reminded of this whilst cooking some chicken breast on the Foreman Grill. God, I love the ease of cooking on the ol’ Foreman … but I absolutely HATE cleaning that thing. I know, I know – the science wizards have come up with a new Foreman Grill where you can actually take the grilling plates out and throw in the dishwasher … but at this point, I don’t feel like shelling any more money out to Mr. Foreman. Dude, I already have two of your grills – can’t you send me one with those grilling plates free of charge? Seriously!
I love driving my Nissan Altima, but man, do I hate washing and cleaning it. I do a thorough washing, vacuuming, and spray-cleaning the interior around once a month, and the car still looks and smells new … I hate doing it though. But, I feel worse when I don’t … I gotta thank my parents for instilling this German guilt in me.
I thoroughly enjoy the Scunci Steamer we have – it makes cleaning things so much easier. Unfortunately, I hate how fragile this thing is. We’ve had it for about two years, and it’s already broken. I really don’t feel like shelling out another $60 for another Scunci Steamer, but I miss steam cleaning … and no, I’m not gay.
I love weekends, especially in the summer time … but man, do I hate how quickly they go by. Case and point – we had a 3-day weekend this past weekend, but it didn’t really feel any longer than the normal 2-day weekends. I’m half-tempted to stop having fun on weekends just so they last longer … and no, I’m not retarded.
I’m a fan of Jeopardy, even though, for the most part, it makes me feel stupid. But, I really, really don’t like Alex Trebek even a little bit. He seems really pompous to me, and when he pronounces French and Spanish words, it’s like somebody is scratching a chalk board.
Any of you have any “love/hate” things to share?

I loved this post. I hate that I can't find anything worthwhile to post about myself. :-)
I hate putting my clothes away. I want a closet that is all hooks.
I love driving, I hate traffic.
I love music, I hate that music has become more about business than music. Also hate that good indy or non-label music never get the time of day.
I love Winter. I hate ice storms.
I love astronomy. I hate that good telescopes for deep field viewing cost an arm and a leg.
Love football, hate the injuries. Love JMoyer, hate Adam "the bitch" Eaton.
Hey brother, thanks for the encouraging words on my blog, and I hope everything is okay with your friend. Blogging is a good remedy, although over the past six months or so I have just not been in the mood, for obvious reasons.
As for love/hate I would have to agree with you on weekends. I would also submit the Football season. I love Football, it has always been my favorite sport. I love gathering with my friends to watch the games from September through January, but I hate the fact that when the season is over Winter is in full swing, and we usualy have about two feet of snow on the ground. I LOVE FOOTBALL, but HATE WINTER.

Love hair and make-up ... hate "getting ready" to go somewhere. ... babs
