him.I can understand that. I used to be that kind of negative, skeptical person. Probably, there are friends who drifted away from me because of it. In some ways and at some times, I still have a little of that person in me... I've been through a lot in life. However, I make no excuses. I allowed myself to become that way.
But now I am making an effort to grow. I try to smile more, I try to be less skeptical, show my happiness more, and generally be more positive. And now it's me who is making an effort to get away from that negativity, skepticism and grizzle.

As I'm writing this in the living room of a quiet house, after Emily has gone to bed, and with iTunes playing in the background, I realized... do songs get any more soulful or real than Easy by The Commodores? That piano, those lyrics, Richie's voice. Man, I love music.

Saturday night is "date night" for Emily and me. We'll probably have sushi or a salad and wine, then head to the theater to see Shrek III. I've read the less-than-positive reviews, but I can't imagine it will be TOO bad. I'm really looking forward to it... mostly to be in a dark theater holding hands with my honey.It's been a really good week, actually. Just the right amount of work, a few nights of socializing with great friends, and a topper of a weekend with perfect weather.

Em's cell phone bill came in today. Over 400 bucks, and much of it was texting fees related to voting for American Idol!
She changed her package a couple of months ago, not realizing that the new one doesn't include texting fees. I know it's not funny to get a bill 4 times higher than you expect, but I had to laugh a little.
Being a chick with a hot voice, she was able to call and smooth talk the Cingular guy into splitting the diff with her. She said she didn't realize the new package excluded texting. He cut the bill by a pretty significant amount.
So now I'm thinking of doing that with this month's DirecTV pay-per-view porn bill.

I've never seen you as a negative person. And I've always found your brash skepticism to be quite entertaining.
I saw the new Shrek flick this week, and the husband said there are at least two more in the making. I find that disturbing... in a "one trick pony" kind of disturbing.
PS: How gay did donkey come off in this flick, to you? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I know that Falwell had a thing about TinkyWink from Teletubbies and Patrick from SpongeBob Squarepants both being "Stooges for the homosexual agenda." Just curious!
