A Good Day

Good things happened today.  For one thing, I got an adequate amount of sleep.  That alone works wonders for my outlook in life.

That wasn't the best thing, though.  My new phone came.  This is good because I scared my phone away like a month and a half ago and haven't seen it since.  Seriously, one moment I was talking on it, the next it was gone.  I have a feeling the minime hid it somewhere, but I've yet to discover where.  So, now I have a new one and I can talk to people and avoid calls from my mom again.  However, this still isn't the best part.

My husband finally disposed of the spider carcass that's been under a glass on my floor since around Halloween.  I know how wrong that sounds, so I guess I'll try to explain it.  A week of so before Halloween, I noticed a large and particularly menacing spider running across my livingroom floor.  I didn't have anything flammable to counterattack it with, but I'm pretty resourceful and quickly came up with an alternative plan:  I got my child to top it with a glass, so my husband could deal with it later.  Except he kept forgetting to deal with it.  Eventually, I sort of scooted the whole glass into a corner so I could just clean my floors around it.  And there it stayed until today, when my husband finally decided to pay attention to me and deal with it.  Okay, I guess that really didn't make it sound any better, but there's no sense in using the backspace key now.  I wonder how long it stayed alive under there.  I sort of feel bad about causing something such a horrific end, but I'm also pretty sure it was a scout trying to gather information for their plot to destroy me.  Knowing that makes me feel completely justified.  Anyway, the body removal was almost the best part of my day, but not quite.

The best thing?  I found the world's biggest box of frozen blueberry waffles!  There's 40 of them!  That should last me the better part of the week!  I had two for dinner (still frozen) and I'm thinking that in the morning I may toast a couple for my favorite sandwich.  This involves two toasted blueberry waffles, a slice of provolone and three slices of extra crispy thick cut bacon.  It's pretty much an orgasm for your mouth.

A few other notably awesome things happened today, too.

--I took the child to the grocery store childcare, but I did not shop.  Instead I drank coffee and hogged a Hershey's with almonds bar all to myself.  I spent a lot of time on a new idea I had, which may or may not grow legs and appear here in the future.  Depends if I can get the appropriate software and how much I want to embarrass myself.

--The child asked her father why he's not as handsome as Flynn Rider.  The husband proceeded to get all butt hurt and insecure about it.  I'm torn between pointing out that it's a somewhat valid question and reassuring him that he is the more handsome.  His anxiety over this is really amusing, so I suppose I'll just keep quiet altogether and let him sweat about it.


--I got every last stitch of laundry in the house done.  That's not too big of a deal, but it's also put away!  That never happens.  Seriously, the only dirty clothes in my house are the ones on our bodies.  That makes me so happy I could pee my pants.  But then I'd have to wash them.

--I baked a pie.  Apple.  It's good and very aesthetically pleasing.

Given that it's only quarter to eight, I probably shouldn't jinx myself, but nothing bad has happened today.  It's been a very needed good day.  I have steaks thawing for morning dinner and I'll have extra time to myself tonight.  Perhaps I'll even have time for a haiku later!  On that note, I suppose I'll go catch up with my friends, play some video games, and prepare for tomorrow.  Today can't happen twice in a row, and something tells me tomorrow will make up for it.  That's just how my life works.
