Two Glasses
Glass Half Full
1. I’m engaged!
2. To a man I can’t get enough of!
3. I stopped shoveling food into my mouth at an alarming rate and started working out.
4. I think I look kinda cute today.
5. I’m drinking coffee out of a construction worker thermos.
6. I’m meeting Todd’s girlfriend Heather out for a drink tonight, and I love this girl to death and could totally be, like, BFF with her. This is the first time we’re going out alone without the men folk. Very exciting, like a she-date.
Glass Half Empty
1. Steve will be home alone tonight eating our delicious, spicy beef leftovers without me. I will miss my pooky. Plus, I will be out there navigating the harrowing pitfalls of restaurant food while on a diet.
2. I still haven’t heard whether I have this new job or not. If I were a nail biter, I would have gnawed my fingers off to the knuckle by now.
3. It’s making me crazy. I’ve decided I want that job. Why don’t they just call me and give it to me already. All lines are open! Operators are standing by! Call now!
4. I have to be the best candidate. Who’s this other clown they’re pitting me against?
5. This person must be eliminated. Seriously. The East River yearns for a fresh body.
6. Even if they do offer me the job, I don’t have as strong a negotiating stance from a salary standpoint, since there could be someone else waiting in the wings to swoop in and snatch the role from my greedy clutches. Would this mean I would have to be more timid about negotiating vacation, too? Aye carumba.

Being engaged is on my half full list every day. :)
I'm just catching up. Congratulations to you and Steve! How exciting.
stupid clown! go ahead and give her the job already (though i'll miss u)!
Enjoy your she-date! It's great when you make a friend that is also a couple that you can hang out with! Sometimes that a lot harder than what people would think. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for your new job!
Stand your ground! Do you think they want someone without a backbone?
OMG - you crack me up! "The East River yearns for another body."
That is EVIL and I love it!
