Here we go...

Things I loathe:

Stupid computer settings that prevent me from doing my work
Struggling with my efforts to lose weight
Cat scratches
Buttholes (in the non-anatomical sense)
The lady that couldn't drive her big SUV and almost hit pedestrians because she was *shock* talking on her cell phone
Gas prices
Itchy feet
Hair (unless on my head)

Things I love:

Homemade sushi night with D. ZOMG!
Total of 9 pounds lost since the first weeks of April. Double ZOMG!
Corporal cuddles
Fresh strawberries
Grilling out
Having an awesome round at the driving range with D
Tuesday tennis!!!
Grilled pineapple
Contentment
Seeing my old professors and catching up
Sharing my love of sushi with others
Sunny days
Window perches for cats
Selling stuff on e-bay (and *hopefully* making a profit)
Game nights & mojitos!

Great list. I love grilled pineapple.

At first I was cynical about the driving range since all you're doing is hitting golf balls to no particular area...until I actually tried it. Much better than I anticipated.

heh - it's harder than it seems and only accidentally hitting the guy next to me once is a huge improvement for me - so i'd definitely call it a good round.

of course, i never try to aim - i just hit as hard as i can to see how far it can go :)

do you have tips, SM?? We grilled it once and while it was good, we think it could be better. We had a grill wok and that's how we did it the first time, we're thinking of putting it on skewers for our next round on Weds so it picks up more grill flavor.

But any secret tips for perfectly grilled pineapple would be greatly appreciated! :)

I am not a cook, but the best I ever had were on kabobs. With steak and mushrooms. Grilled on the top shelf. Yummmmmmmmmmm

Truth be told, I only went to the range cuz I was invited to play a round of 18 holes amongst a group of people where we donated the fees to charity. So I needed to get some practice beforehand.

I always aimed for the guy stuck with retrieving all the balls with his truck on the range. And it's kosher since his vehicle is barricaded as much as The Pontiff's.

lol - i suppose that it is only fair if he's barricaded, but i've never tried it if you can believe it. either they move too fast or i can't hit far enough. oh well, i'll stick to hitting the guy standing next to me when i take bad shots. heh.
