a double-coke kind of day



i was practically raised on coke (coca-cola classic, people). and at the risk of sounding like a commercial, i still to this day love the first sip of a nice cold refreshing coke! :) anyway, i've limited myself to one per day for the past year or so but yesterday on my way out the door, i grabbed two because i knew it was going to be a rough day.

i couldn't have been more right. and i won't bore you with details of eps deadlines and print windows and last-minute changes, but basically i had a section that was supposed to be in nashville at 5 and i left work at 8. everything just seemed like it took forever to get done and extra stuff kept popping up and i was just treading water and doing all i could to keep it together to get this section out the door (it actually didn't get completely done until this morning. yikes!).

so as i was leaving work i turned on one republic's dreaming out loud cd and it helped me chill out on the way home. even though i didn't get home until almost 9, last night was one of those days i was kind of thankful for the 35 minute ride home so i could clear my head.

although it was a sucky day, there were several bright spots that i thought of as i went to bed and i thought i'd share...
  • whitney, in all her best friend glory, sent me a "flower plant" that totally made my day!
  • i got a very encouraging text message from jo
  • the other designers pitched in majorly to help me out
  • i saw a little furry face looking out the window at me when i pulled up to the house
  • i saw two more little furry faces when i walked in and i got several puppy kisses and greetings at the top of the stairs
  • whitney saved me leftovers
  • jon & kate plus 8 was on. LOVE that show!
i'm popping open my one coke of the day right now.....aaaaaaaaaaah :)
