Even Better Day in The Adventures of Sugarbear and Cupcake

Today went a lot smoother than I expected! Relaxed a lot which was nice. But I also folded laundry, planned the meals for the week, and went over to my parents’ house for a birthday lunch. I was nervous about this lunch because I planned on telling my parents about the puppies. I just knew they wouldn’t really approve. But thank God there was no real blowup. My dad said he thought we were crazy. My mom asked if we could afford two additional dogs and what made us adopt them. We told them we had been talking about it for a while and it just seemed like the right time. I saw my brother and his wife eavesdropping in the kitchen cringing in anticipation of my parents reactions lol. But it all turned out all right and went a lot smoother than I expected it to. My aunt and uncle and abuela came too which was nice. Aunt D gave me a HUGE wine glass that says “Birthday Girl” and a dress about 3 sizes too big lol. I guess she intended it as a comfy housedress? She said she got herself one in the same size and she’s smaller than I am. Mom and dad gave me money and a book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B. Peterson. Randy and I are going to start reading it tonight or tomorrow. We want to finish it in a month which is totally possible (if I do the reading). Mom made lasagna, garlic bread, salad, and meatballs with a raspberry almond cake for dessert. Hit the spot. I do have a lot I want to get done tomorrow though. Including working out, grocery shopping, taking the pups to the dog park, calling people for work, cooking of course and reading. We’ll see how it goes! Wish me luck!
