Feast or Famine
It’s always like that here at the Donahue household. When we got married, we were fully prepared for life’s ups and downs, but we somehow expected that there would be a lot of flatland in between. Nope. Not us.
After a shitty 2003 (really the worst year we’ve ever had, what with me being out of work and all), it seems that we were due for some good fortune (isn’t that, after all, how karma works?). I’ve been a good girl, and Kevin mostly behaves, so we figure we deserve some good. I don’t think we quite had the last few weeks in mind, though. Within 2 weeks time, we’ve both gotten HUGE raises. Not just a little bit. HUGE. MASSIVE. Life-changing.
Mine came today, like a pretty bow on top of my big fat promotion. Sitting on my doorstep when I got home today were my tickets for the Bahamas. A couple of months ago, we got great new neighbors. Kevin got a new car. My dog’s tumor was benign. My wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I bought 10 lottery tickets, just in case this lucky streak holds out. I’ll let you know.
Seriously, though, we do have our ups and downs. There’s just nothing in the middle. That’s okay. I’m an extreme kinda girl.

Congratz to both of you on the promotions. I guess this means more time at the horse track now, eh? =)
