Loving/Not Loving

April 23, 2014

Time for the April edition of Loving/Not Loving. Feel free to play along.

Loving that Easter Sunday here was a glorious 79 degrees.
Not loving that our flip flop weather was fleeting and it’s back to a whole 34 degrees this morning.
Loving that I’m still in a Get-Stuff-Done mindset.
Not loving that I finally made that dentist appointment I’d been procrastinating on, and it’s in a couple of hours.
Loving that I found a good Whole Foods Groupon.
Not loving that I forgot about it and it expired.

Loving that I’m finally getting out on my bike.
Not loving that I still haven’t had it tuned up…ever.

Loving that I found a steal on Bon Maman jelly.
Not loving that I dragged home 8 jars of it. Hostess gift anyone?? Party favor? Race fuel?
Loving that I’ve lost my chocolate cravings.
Not loving that I seem to have filled the chocolate void with jelly.
Loving that sweet Sister Mary someone or other the ‘running nun’ followed me on Twitter.
Not loving that her blessed holiness pulled the unfollow trick as soon as I followed her back. Is that a sin?

What are you loving? Not so much? Favorite jelly flavor?

    LOL love it. I’m a fan of strawberry jelly. But my mom makes a pretty fantastic muscadine jelly.

    Heather I had to google muscadine to learn what it is. I love strawberry too, but I’ll bet muscadine is tasty as well!

    That nun has some confessing to do! And boo on the weather changes. We are cooler today, too, although not quite that cool. I just need summer, now and forever.

    Loving: that I have a half day at work today!
    Not loving: That it’s so I can get poked and prodded with needles for an allergy test.

    I can’t believe the running nun did that!
    Loving: That my kids are at school.
    Not Loving: That I yelled at them all morning for bad grades. Ugh!

    I’m partial to preserves over jelly. I love huge chunks of fruit :). Other than that, I don’t really have a favorite.

    The follow/unfollow trick is so shady!

    I always love these posts… perhaps I will have to do one some time too.!

    Maybe the nun isn’t really a nun! I mean, think about it. Do nuns go on Twitter? Sounds sketchy to me.

    I love that jelly too! Found it on sale at Jewel, of all places, last week, and picked up a few jars.

    A Whole Foods Groupon? I could definitely use one of those…

    And this weather. I am dying for the 70’s to return!

    Loving that we have lots of green in our garden, not loving frost warnings.

  11. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    That whole follow/un-follow thing is just not cool.
    Loving being able to get back into my garden.
    Not loving this cold/crud thing that is trying to settle into my lungs – ugh!

  12. Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete says

    April 23, 2014 at 2:23 pm

    LOL @ these! I loved the flippy-floppy weather, too…alas… 😛

    LOLing at the unfollow trick!

    Do you think you will get your bike tuned? I did recently and it rode like a dream, after!

    I am loving this weather – I was not ready for the heat (for running) in TX. I would really like cold weather for the WI half!

    If you’re in ‘get stuff done’ mode still you should add ‘get bike serviced’ to your list.

    Haha, I love this post and can relate to many! I always get excited about a good coupon but then I always forget about it! I literally LOL about the running nun!

    NOT LOVING the 40 degree and windy mornings here!!!

    LOL! Now your comment about the jelly makes so much sense! So funny! Good for you for going to the dentist…I am totally overdue myself!-Ashley

    April 24, 2014 at 1:02 pm

    Thanks for reminding me about my Whole Foods Groupon!!!

    Why would a nun be on twitter? I think there’s a commandment “Unfollow not, lest you be Unfollowed”
    Hope your flip flop weather comes back!

  20. Andrea says

    April 27, 2014 at 6:44 am

    Laughing about the unfollow nun. Yes it’s a sin!

    Loving that I’ve had a great vacation.
    Not loving that tomorrow is back to work.

    haha- i want to find this running nun! I stopped eating jelly for lent and have been using honey instead. But I love most flavors and rotate between grape and strawberry.

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
