Loving/Not Loving

September 9, 2014

(source)

Ok not this kind of wild life. (source)

Loving: That I live in an area filled with wildlife.
Not Loving: In the past week I’ve had snakes in my garage, wasps in the eaves and not one but two frogs leap and hit me when I’m out running. I mean seriously, what’s next? Wait, don’t answer that.

Loving: I finally got a new dishwasher.

(source)

(source)

Not Loving: When they pulled the old one out, there was evidence of these.

Not Loving: Our garage door broke.
Loving: Our cars just happened to be out when it decided it would no longer open.

(source)

(source)

Not Loving: I raced through my run, raced though my shower to be ready for the garage door repair guy by 9am and it’s now after 2pm and he still hasn’t shown up.

Loving: I finally found something to do with zucchini besides zucchini bread: Cream of Zucchini Soup!
Not loving: It’s pretty bland and needs some quality time in the test kitchen before it’s ready for prime time.

Loving: That I won an AG award at last weekend’s 5k
Not Loving:  So far I’ve gotten nothing but a runaround trying to claim my prize. According to the person in charge of the awards’ secretary (who even has a secretary anymore?), “he doesn’t know where the trophies are.”

Loving: Our insane humidity is finally subsiding.
Not Loving: No I’m loving everything about that!

What are you loving lately? Not so much?

    What? They can’t find the trophies? That’s nuts. But congrats on the AG win!

    I can’t believe they can’t “find” the trophies? What’s up with that? And there is nothing more annoying than waiting around for a repair man for him to just not show up on time!!!

    I so badly need a new dishwasher! It’s not even that old but it just sucks. Color me green with envy and doesn’t that speak volumes about my age/place in life!

    Our humidity refuses to quit. It’s doing me in!

    We found similar evidence when we replaced our dishwasher. Worse – my husband accidentally tried to vacuum it up and it got stuck. Flinging occurred and it landed on our good friends who were helping.

    Congrats on your AG win. How do you lose trophies?

    Haha…this morning I ran with some bunnies on my speedy 8 miler! They didn’t know what to think of me. I had a few of them for a while.

    Umm…I found a dead mouse at our venue not long ago – we called the exterminator that day!!!
    Did the garage door guy ever show up – I hate when you just wait and wait – so annoying!!

    OH
    apparently Im loving there be no no no snakes here!

    Cream of Zucchini Soup, huh? I am not sure I would love that.

  10. Marcia says

    September 10, 2014 at 11:57 am

    Robin, I definitely don’t love it either. I think zucchini has too “light” of a flavor for soup. Throwing shaved parm on top helps but I think I’m going to throw in some roasted veggies and use it as more of a broth.

  11. Raina says

    September 10, 2014 at 12:02 pm

    Congrats on the AG win! I’m sure they’ll find you a prize.. if not, maybe a gift card? 😀
    The soup sounds like a great use for zucchini! Sorry about the car 🙁

    Do the mice count as wildlife? Maybe that’s why you’re having those serpentine visitors.

    Speaking of wild life, we had a praying mantis in our house Monday night. Crazy!

    Bummer about the garage door and dish washer though getting new appliances is fun in a weird way.

    For zucchini, I like to slice it and grill it with olive oil and bread dipping seasoning and sometimes add cheese. I also like to cube it and put it in foil pouches and grill it with various seasonings like the basic salt, thyme, rosemary and oregano. I haven’t done it but I me sure you could do that in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 350 or so.

    Not loving – the crazy amount of work my middle schooler’s coming home with!

    Loving – finally feeling like fall this week!

    ooh, i would be freaking out about the mice. yikes! loving that the bf’s ironman training is over, not loving his injury!

    4 hours per day employers see it here expect the industry.
    His justification was that horses breaking from the machine.

    I use snake repellent around my yard because they live under my back porch and eat the baby bunnies and it ticks me off. The repellent really does work and it’s safe for kids and rabbits.

    I would not love the garage door thing. I use the door in and out of our garage as our main door. So I get how irritating that would be.

    How do they not know where the awards are? I still call myself a secretary sometimes. It doesn’t bother me.

    It makes me crazy when I sit home all day and the repairman shows up at 5:00! With cell phones, it seems silly not to be able to let someone know you will be 10 hours late!

    Glad you got a new dishwasher. I was without one for a couple of days and I got where I was barring my sons from eating ANYTHING (scary mom!). 🙂

  19. Tricia's Mostly healthy life says

    September 22, 2014 at 2:52 pm

    Don’t know where the trophies are? hmmmmm….. who is responsible for them?

    There are only 2 of us in the house but we do so much cooking/eating at home that the dishwasher gets run about every 2 days. I am starting to think of hand washing for water conservation purposes. (Did that sound really primitive?)

    […] Love. Along with my list of favorite things, I also list things I don’t care for right now. Marcia Healthy Slice does this in a way only Marcia can do, her posts leave you laughing and wanting to try new things, […]

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!
