My sweet and thoughtful husband!


It just started out as a bad day today. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess... I was impatient with Adam and I'm sure it didn't help him at all to be in a good mood. When I got to work and restarted my computer, there were 5 viruses on my computer!!! GRRRRRRR!!!! THe good thing was that Tim, our computer expert helped me fix all the glitches. But projects started getting piled on top of me... "Train this person, will ya?" and "Will you please do this for me? Oh... and also this..." and "You're so good at typing... will you type this up for me?"... and my computer WAS NOT WORKING TO DO THESE THINGS AND THINGS WERE JUST PILING UP!!! And THEN to make things worse, Adam wrote me an e-mail to tell me that the thing I wanted most for Christmas (this really cute jewelry holder from Pottery Barn) was no longer available. :^(. I was really sad... I tried my best to have a good attitude because I know my attitude is up to me, but it just didn't work. I must add that today is our Annual Company Christmas Party for all the employees. They always give away some great prizes including a big screen TV. Adam had written me an e-mail that said "I hope you win the big screen TV!!!" and I had replied "I doubt it by the way things are going today".Then I got this phone call from Adam. He wanted to know if my day had gotten any better. I told him no and he said some sweet things that made me a least want to try harder to have a better day. Then, if that wasn't enough, he asked if I had some time to come downstairs. "You're here?" I asked him, and he said he was! I put on my coat, ran downstairs and through the doors where he was waiting in the parking lot in his truck. I climbed in and noticed he was holding a dozen red roses for me!! He said "I know they're cheap... they're from Kroger, but it was the closest place to buy them. I just wanted to do something to cheer you up." I was so touched. And you know... it really helped me see the bright side of things.... like how I have a wonderful husband who loves me and wants me to be happy. As I got out of the car, I said to him.. "Maybe I'll win that TV afterall!" Afterall, I am now having a great day, and have a beautiful vase of red roses to look at and smell on my desk.
