I love the Auckland City Skyline ...

I love when I'm driving on my way home from work and the skyline is all lit up, and I take it all in just before I hit the harbour bridge ... its a real beauty. I'd love to be able to just look out my lounge/bedroom window and see it .... I hate that in order for this to be a reality, I'd have to move from South Auckland ... I love South Auckland ... I hate that it has a really bad rep ...

I love the time spent in the car driving to & from work, its MY time. I hate that I have to spend 45mins - 1hr in stinky Auckland traffic (twice a day) with w@nkers that wont merge, w@nkers that dont know how to merge, w@nkers that are travelling behind me and high beam their lights at me because they're in a 4-wheel drive and I'm in a Suzuki Swift, going 100km in the fast lane, but expect me to change lanes so they can pass me?!!!! Pass me on the left you w@nker coz I aint moving ... I love that I dont get road rage (much) because listening to church music calms me & helps me enjoy the ride ... I love that sometimes I dont even think about the route I'm driving, its just automatic ... I hate when I'm supposed to turn off, but keep going on my "route" because I forget I'm going somewhere else!!!

I love that I'm regularly attending church again ... its been a while, but I love being involved with the church again. I love that I'm in Pathfinders ... I hope that the kids experience in Pathfinders will be a highlight of their teen years, as it was in mine. I love that church & Pathfinders keeps me busy. I hate that I'm not able to be doing this in and for my church in Tokoroa.

I LOVE THAT MULIAINA JUST SCORED A TRY FOR THE CHIEFS AND DONALD CONVERTED IT!!!!!!! I hate to think that the 'canes will come back ...

I love that home is just 2.5hrs & a tank full of gas down the road ... I hate that I dont make the effort to go down more often ...

I love that Piri Weepu just missed that penalty! woohoo!!!!! I hate So'oialo & Nonu's moustaches ... I mean seriously ... what the ???!!! lol

I love that Jovan is enjoying his new life on the Gold Coast. I love that I can bebo him, and text him & speak to him on the phone. I love that we're texting each other now about the Chiefs game lol ... I hate that I miss him so much.

I love that I can lie in bed and write my post in this blog. I'm lovely & warm in my bed and writing this blog is keeping me from yelling at the TV during the game, which will alert all in the house that I'm watching TV on sabbath lol ... I hate that this blardy laptop is friggin heavy and I have to keep moving my legs otherwise they'll go sleep lol

I love that Vanessa set up this blog page ... I love that not only has Taki & Mata posted, but Ula, Koni AND Lottie ... I love that I can write stuff like that and know that my family know that I am just teasing and not being malicious :-P I love that even though we are all living in different places, we are still a family.

I love being Aunty Rae :-)

I LOVE THAT THE CHIEFS JUST WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
