Today was a good day. I LOVED today!
It started as a regular day. I snoozed probably one too many times. Got to my office as quickly as I could--you know that room off the living room--and began my work day. It's been a rough couple of days at work and I was facing how to handle those challenges first thing in the morning.
My cell phone was dying so I plugged it in in the kitchen. About a half hour later, I heard it beep the text message beep. This was very exciting. See, my phone goes off all day long for emails but most of my emails are from companies that I've signed up for the mailing list. I rarely get personal emails and hardly ever get texts in the middle of the morning.
I got up and checked the message. It was from a male friend of mine. It read "Can u call me real fast on the dl Im [popping the] question today. On way to get ring n do it'. I literally screamed--one of those moments it's really good that I work out of my home.
I of course called him immediately. He was nervous, was telling me his ideas, and asking me what I thought he should do. Side note: Even someone who's only known me for 2 1/2 years knows that this is my area of expertise/interest and I should be the go-to. Love it! I talked to him for a few but I won't give away the details (his FIANCEE is one of the few people who know about this blog and it's not really my story to tell).
I worked and waited to hear back from him. I called my husband. I called my mother--who did not answer for the record. I tried desperately not to blurt it out over IM while the soon-to-be-popped-question-receiver and I chatted. Probably another good reason I work from home because if I had this information and we still worked together, I'm not sure I could have hid how I was feeling. I tend to wear my feelings all over my face.
Eventually, around mid-afternoon I got the word. I did all my expected screaming. Shed a couple of tears. Did I mention I'm a sucker for love and weddings? What a great day!
Later in the evening, after I thought it couldn't get any better, my friend that I grew up down the street from--one of the girls in my wedding--called me from the East Coast. Before she could even get a word out, I tell her that I had been dreaming about her for TWO weeks. It was true. She had popped up in a bunch of my dreams. I would be sitting at a table with a celebrity and on the other side of me there is my old friend.
She said, "Wow. Maybe you have some kind of intuition because I'm calling to tell you something. [Girlfriend's name] and I are getting married."
For the second time today, I screamed. Shed a couple more tears. Then she couldn't understand me for a minute because I was yelling for her to tell me everything. The problem is when I get excited and start yelling I don't believe my cell phone can pick up my frequency. So I had to calm down a bit so she could tell me.
We spent the next hour catching up (it had been a while since we talked) and I did my best to get all the details (she's not really a detail kind of girl).
And there you have it. One regular day turned into an AWESOME day where two friends that I love told me they were getting married. What a great day. Now I can't wait to start helping them plan the weddings!
For my TV fan readers, here's my favorite.
