Apparently the real kick happens at a month and 2 days!

Any of you who follow me on facebook or g+ know that today has been a tough day. I am sure I am looking at things all wrong, in a woe is me way, rather than finding some silver linings, so I am going to dissect the events of today to find a positive. First thing, the dog cried ALL night last night, so I was not able to sleep, there by making me more emotional than usual. The positive there of course is that the dog crying was the cutest most snuggley dog in the world, and I think he just wants his cat carrier back instead of his sweet new big boy dog crate, which is an easy fix. Second, I was woken up by a processor at 10 AM, to receive my summons. It could have been 9. And I have like 17 days to respond, so that's something. Third, I was complaining about the summons when the doorbell rang and a certified letter person dropped off the bill from the IRS. I guess the positive there is that the person who dropped it off also dropped off another package containing a Christmas present for Liam. After that, my laptop decided it wouldn't work, even when plugged in, which forced me to go downstairs and get out of bed. The laptop has since come to it's senses too. Also, I learned that Brian is super cool and totally willing to relocate for any reason! There won't be a reason, but it's still cute that he was on board. Some good things happened today too. I picked up my first pay check from a job I really enjoy. I found a really cute stocking stuffer for Liam for 1.07$. I bought groceries and beer for the party tomorrow, and have managed to hang onto my friends, despite all the crap I have been carrying around with me lately. Oh, and I lost 4 pounds this week, which is always welcome! So to sum up, being sued, have 60 days to work out a deal with the IRS, have an old crappy lap top, need a bankruptcy lawyer who likes doing things for free, or for beer, have a fun job, great friends, a super awesome family my teeth aren't black, and I speak the same language as most of the people around me, and I have a whole new creative approach to my wardrobe that has been really fun lately. (This is not a judgement statement, I am just saying that it's a positive when you can communicate effectively.) Am I in the win column today? I still don't think so!!!!! :) See some of you tomorrow! Love you all for reading this and thinking about me!
