It's Raining, It's Pouring, The Old Man Woke Up and Told Me to Stop Playing RockBand

How come the saying isn't that when it rains, it sprinkles? Or it just lightly rains? Why pouring? Hmm oh because neither of those would make sense. And because anytime something goes wrong, it seems like everything else goes wrong (even if it really doesn't). I swear if one major thing goes wrong, it seems like everything else (even the good things) just makes it worse until that thunderstorm goes away. Nothing really matters as long as a storm is still on the horizon.

It's been a stormy week, and I'm hoping the clouds are finally ready to go away to leave me with a sunny weekend (I definitely need it). Here's a snapshot of my week, the good and the bad.

Good: I bought lots of cute stuff at Potomac Mills last weekend including white dress shorts.
Bad: Found out my tire was flat (the valve was torn through) when I arrived at Potomac Mills and had to drive around on a spare until I could get to Wal-Mart to get a new tire.

Good: I've been given a lot more responsibility at work lately, big projects, etc.
Bad: I've been given a lot more responsibility at work lately- and I don't feel like working.

Good: I've gotten to catch up and chat with lots of good friends this week including delicious dinner with my friend Lisa tonight at Olive Garden.
Bad: All of those friends either live far away, are moving, have babies, or are pregnant. Not a good combination for non-pregnant me living in DC.

Good: I get to see three of my best friends tomorrow from out of town. Two of which I haven't seen in a long, long time.
Bad: I didn't plan it out very well. It's Richie's birthday and I don't have time to spend with him.

Good: Richie's birthday is tomorrow. He's going to be 25!!
Bad: It's Richie's birthday tomorrow, and I'm only going to see him between 12-9 AM. Oops.

Good: Richie started his summer job this week, and he really likes it.
Bad: He's already busy. The life of a lawyer's wife.

Good: Richie just opened his birthday present from me- ROCKBAND.
Bad: There are only instruments for three people. Not sure what Richie is going to do while my two friends and I play this weekend.

Wow that actually really helped me see that this week wasn't that bad after all. Pretty sure the goods outweigh the bads- I see blue skies in the forecast.

Or in the words of my favorite comedian- the big yellow one is the sun, the big yellow one is the sun.

Bring on the sun :)
