Today was a good day!

So I have be slightly struggling with patience at work lately...and coming home complaining to B quite a bit.  He got tired of it.  He gave me good advice, he usually does and this time I took it.

It played out well.  He congratulated me on entering the man's world and playing the game as it should be played.  To tell you the truth - it went against ever grain of my being - and I was really nervous about it.  But wall-a it turns out I am amazing, and this move is good for everyone at work and at home!

And Bryan's response "See, doesn't it feel better than bitching about it?" and in truth it does.  And it makes me less annoying at work and moves me farther away from the whinny girl who complains about everything and does nothing about it (disclaimer: I still whine - lets get real - but I am trying to improve slightly).

So yes, today went well for me! And it went well for B too!  Hopefully I can share that bit of news later this week, if and when it is official.


On to other bit of good news....I have been reading the "Black Dagger Brotherhood" series by JR Ward (remember the scandalous Vampire books I told you about?) and my good friend who has been lending me the books said she would have the next 3 next week for me!!!! I am so thrilled beyond words. Another score for the day.  Remember... I did remind you that this series is quite scandalous, steamy way way past Twilight and the virginity theme, way past Sookie Stackhouse so just be warned ;) 

And on top of all that - the snow is almost gone!!! Emily has gotten to play outside at daycare and I think it is going to save my sanity.  Now I just want the trees to start blooming, the flowers to grow and someone to build me a fence for free so I can get one of these:

But Bryan wants one of these:

In all reality it is probably going to be the first dog that shows up on our doorstep looking pathetic and needing a home.  I am a sucker for strays... but have yet to steal a dog like my sister...however I am slightly tempted to steal my neighbors dog (the poor thing always runs out into the road, is getting yelled at and is named "princess",  it would be the humane thing to do...just to rename it at least)...but that might be a little obvious.


But I hope everyone's Monday treated them just as well!
