Day Fifteen

1. Sleeping in. The alarm went off this morning - set for my usual weekday wake up time - and instead of snooze, I got to turn the damn thing off. I literally got out of bed and said to the alarm clock, "not today...."

2.  Yoga. My Saturday morning class is one of the highlights of my week. Like pizza, it's good even when it's bad.

3. You Tube videos. I spent almost three hours on YouTube today. I am not one of 'those' people, but I was so engrossed with searching for music that it literally sucked my day away, but in a wonderful, music filled way. All by myself in the computer room, I was reminiscing, dancing, laughing, grooving...I had a nice love affair with music this afternoon. I need to do this more often.
Here is some awesome stuff I found:

4. Retail therapy at Target. I just went and spent...some of it I needed, some of it I didn't.

5. Being right. Jesse and I got in an argument this evening, and after trying very hard to be diplomatic and level headed I unleashed a bit. The thing is, I was right. It isn't that I am happy simply about being right, but about being heard and understood. So often in arguments, rationality, fairness, and understanding are clouded by our own anger or hurt, making it hard to communicate. And the worst part is, you know when it is happening. I know when I'm too upset to articulate or too angry to offer solutions rather than fueling the fire. Today, after the aggravating and unproductive back and forth, something that I said got through...and clicked. Good. This opens the door for growth...for both of us.
