The view from the bottom of my wine glass......

Okay, I'm over my little foot-stomping rant about the dishes. But still..........! Well, you get my point. No need to go over it again. It just goes to show you....losing weight doesn't solve all of your problems. There's still dishes in the sink, laundry in the hamper and dust on the coffee table. But, it's Friday night. I have a glass of wine. I can deal with anything. The work week is over. Ooooh, but, let me tell you--- it was one heck of a pesky work week! Even my Lapband can't stop audits or fix my poor record keeping! But....no matter..... life is good. Even though I live with a certain someone who has a severe case of dish washing phobia and I'm up to my forehead in Excel spreadsheets (that are slowly ruining my vision!) and my office floor is covered in papers, I'm happy. In fact, I refuse not to be happy. The certain someone with the dish washing problem---he's a good guy. We'll be celebrating our 26th Anniversary in 2 weeks (now the secret is out....the non dish washer is Carmen!) So, he's got staying power. He's a habit I can't shake. He can't wash a damn dish. But, I'll keep him nonetheless. He's cute. He makes me laugh. He sings me songs as he strums his guitar. He ignores my clutter-bugginess. He closes his eyes to my massive shoe collection. A keeper. My job...yes, the auditors are looming. But, I've been doing it for going on 28 years. Thankfully, it's been good to me. Despite the drama and the scuttlebuts, it's a happy place to be. I have amassed a beautiful and spirited group of amazing friends. From the amazing wordsmith shoe fanatic Professor H to my team of sassy women who deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.....I've been blessed. And, all that laundry---thank God we have underwear, towels and clothes to wash! I do realize I'm very lucky in that regard. I'll never have to go naked or dripping wet....unless I want to!!! As for the dust.....thankfully, my eyes are being ruined by those spreadsheets! So, I can't see it. And, everything else---it's just life. Life in the fast lane. The slow lane. And the passing lane. It's the road I chose and the road I'm on. I'm here. I'm happy. And, yes, I've had a glass of wine. I suggest you do the same.

It's all in how you look at it.....that's what I say......
