Oh, darlin', you've got this concept down so well! This is what's good for you, and I'm beyond pleased that you're finding this not as difficult as you imagined.
Now you two just need to head out and enjoy the shopping and beverages.
Pam, I had a really hilarious visual of putting sugar in your gas tank. Well, that might have been something I considered in my youth, but I think you guys actually WANT me to keep your cars from taking off for nowhere in particular. Hey, I'm happy to oblige and you can count on me.
Well, count me in with you guys on the hockey blahs. This sucks. But after my initial bout of depression, I convinced myself to be happy... because I'm now free to have a life every other evening that doesn't revolve around the TV. The weather here has been nothing short of spectacular, and I'm looking forward to spending some of it outside with my girls. Note: This doesn't mean that I won't be watching hockey... just not rearranging my life around it.
I'll say this to both of you, but Meredith in particular. I think you are no more a slow learner than anyone else. I see us all more in the phase of accepting ideas for longer. Change is really difficult, and we often reject ideas because they are so completely foreign.
Slow to accept the path rather than slow to learn. Fortunately, that boat is filled with folks--including me. So take heart--it's just another feather under your cap when you get to your destination on this bike ride. And you'll feel like you've really accomplished something.
Time to check in with a couple other folks and then head to my meeting.
