Catching up

As I mentioned, we were going to the Cubs game on Monday night. Well, we didn't. First of all, I'm changing my rule from no games before Memorial Day to no games before June. We had gorgeous weather all weekend and then came Monsoon Monday. OK, it wasn't that bad, but we knew the game would be freezing and we didn't want to risk a rain delay. They are the worst. So, we gave the tickets to our neighbors. They were so excited and grateful and I was happy that they weren't being wasted. Turns out there was no rain delay, but we did lose :(

So I asked Mr. Happy what I should write about tonight and he replied, "How great I am!" He was joking, but I think it's a great idea. Tonight, he got home from work first, so he made dinner. Steak, brussel sprouts and biscuits. Delicious! I never liked brussel sprouts until he prepared them and made me try them. He's a great cook, and I'm a great dishwasher, so we make a great team. He also fixed my tire for me this weekend. It had a slow leak. I feel like I should know more about cars and fixing things, but I'm just not interested and he's really good at that stuff. I appreciate his handyman qualities and definitely do not take them for granted, at least I think I don't. And one more thing, before you guys start to puke over how perfect he is (remember it's only been 2 months, so the honeymoon's not over, wink wink), he still opens my car door for me everytime we get in the car, seriously, 9 years later. Chivalry is not dead, at least in our house. I think he gets a rose this week!

XOXO

Ahhh, Saturdays

5 things I love about Saturdays...
-Waking up without the alarm clock
-Sitting down and eating cereal out of a bowl instead of a plastic cup in the car (not the safest or most environmentally friendly practice) because I'm always running late during the week
-Facebooking without feeling guilty that I should be doing something else. It's amazing how many people are on FB on a Saturday morning
-Watching old movies on TV...already saw Breaking Away and Home for the Holidays
-The number one thing I love about Saturdays...I love NOT going to work!!!! And to top it off, who doesn't love a three day weekend?

Topic change---Yesterday, after work, I legally became Mrs. Happy!!! Socially, I've been Mrs. Happy since the day we married, but I had to put off changing the name legally since our h-moon and sis's grad trip were booked under my maiden name and I didn't want any problems while traveling. It was much easier than I expected. I still have to go to the SS office, which I think might be a bigger hassle, but I'm up for the challenge.

Tomorrow, we're celebrating my Grandma's 80th b-day. It's a surprise and she's probably going to be angry, because she DOES NOT like surprises. Oh well, that's what you get for turning 80 and having a big family that loves you, sorry 'bout it Gram.

Also, we're going to our 1st Cubs game of the season on Monday! Yes, we are fans of the lovable losers. We bleed Cubby Blue. However, I do have a rule against going to games before Memorial Day. It is Chicago and it can snow in June (not really, but it's pretty unpredictable). The only thing I dislike more than the Cubs losing, is watching the Cubs lose in the bone-chilling-Lake-effect-Windy-cold. GO CUBS GO!!!

XOXO
