I noticed on my drive in to work this morning that it was just a little bit brighter than last week...yea sunshine! It's hard when I arrive at work with it still being dark outside, so when the days start getting longer, I love it!

Chad and I had a great weekend. It was actually our first weekend at home in the new house, plus I had yesterday off from work thanks to our Presidents! Saturday I shamelessly did absolutely nothing. We dog-sat for Wade and Amber, so I had a sweet little companion with me. It makes sense that Chad and I don't have a dog right now, but that doesn't change my wanting one!

Random thoughts, but I've witnessed 2 types of people that I most certainly want to avoid being.

1. Miss Here's-What's-Bad-About-That: I don't want to be the person that after being told about something someone is doing, or somewhere he is going, I immediately give reasons as to why it is a bad idea. I don't want to be the person that crushes someone's excitement merely because I've heard or experienced something negative. I don't like telling someone where I'm going or what I'm doing, only to have him/her tell me why it's a bad idea and that, no, it won't be as wonderful as I've imagined. Just say, "That sounds fun!" No other comments, unless positive, are required.

2. Miss I-Will-Give-My-Opinion-On-Every-Subject-Whether-I-Know-Anything-About-It-Or-Not: Just because I am in the same room with someone, doesn't mean I need to have an opinion on absolutely every subject that might be talked about. In particular, if I truly don't know anything about the subject, why would I choose to speak up? Maybe some people just like conversation, so they insert themselves whenever possible. All I know is, I'm going to work at not being a know-it-all. However, if you want to talk American Idol, The Biggest Loser, chocolate, or migraine headaches, I have plenty of expert opinions to toss around!

Have a blessed day!
