Changed for the Better

I was reading an email that a friend of mine wrote to a mutual friend of ours who has spent the last 6 years in Japan. My friend's email said that I'd gotten married, had a new name, and had "changed for the better." The email went on to say that in spite of that, they still enjoyed the "Adela edge" from college. I thought it was a nice email and I agreed fully! Although, I'm still working on changing for the better even more, constantly.

Spoke to S a little while ago; he says that the Comedy defensive driving class he's taking today is not that funny. Oh well, we're only in it for the insurance discount! I told him he could get a massage if he wanted to sometime soon, after redoing our budget based on his good paycheck yesterday. We've got some room to play with, even after assisting a certain li'l bro with grocery expenses and putting some more $ into savings to replace what I had to take out due to all those recent car repairs.

Looks like we will soon become the proud owners of a Weider weight machine. I don't know what that is but I hear it's a really cool, really expensive home weight workout system. Apparently we have lots of room in our humongous master bedroom in which to place this thing. Our delightful friends B. and T. say they are going to Uhaul it down to us next weekend from Ft. Worth, as a gift to us and free of charge! I said then the least we can do is take them out to eat and let them stay at our house. I guess the baby will get to sleep in our room, next to the Weider, so B. and T. can have her bed! And I already told them we'd be gone that evening for J. Fi's wedding. Yes, I did buy the white strapless dress last night for the rehearsal dinner on Friday. I paid even less for it that I did the black dress. I am the Queen of the Deals! How's that for changing for the better?

Tonight my future is gun-cleaning. I have to clean both guns, the handgun, Esteban and the shotgun, Vasquez. I should've done it last night but I had no more energy after dress-shopping and grocery shopping. Then S and I need to watch the movie Breach, which came highly recommended from several reputable sources. Then again, you can't go too wrong with Chris Cooper.
