Especially about my husband! I'm just so proud of Josh. He is amazing at what he does for a living. Like, so good. So good it's scary :) He's actually the smartest person I know. He's well known in his industry as the master of sales. And the way his brain works (rain man style) is pretty fascinating. He is so quick with numbers, and the way he can get you to do anything is unreal. Like the time he convinced my sister to go white water rafting. She went from crying about how she didn't want to go to then being excited ;) So, the reason for being so proud of him is that at his sales meeting last week he had to give a presentation. Well, everyone had to give a presentation, but they were only supposed to last like 15-20 minutes. Josh was asked to give 2 presentations at an hour each! One about ultrasound in the veterinary industry (what he used to do) and then the other about how his company played a role in keeping our Tucker Pup alive during his surgeries in July. He showed a slide show of Tuck's surgeries, us sleeping on the floor with him at the animal hospital for 3 nights (that's right...for our dog), and his recovery. He named which labs were sent to his company and the role that the equipment and lab played in knowing which next step to take with his own dog. It was pretty awesome and apparently almost had people in tears because they needed to make sure that Tuck was going to be ok! He was ok in the end so it's a heart-warming story and fun that he got to share that with his co-workers. He even mentioned in his presentation about how he "had to ask his wife if it was ok to call his ex-girlfriend to get her opinion on what the next course of action should be for his dog in critical condition" and got a good chuckle out of the audience by letting them know how thrilled I was about that. She's this big-wig animal internist up north...whatevs. I honestly didn't care at all. What he didn't tell the group was what his rather inappropriate wife ACTUALLY said. Which was "she can (insert expletive) you for all I care if she knows how to save Tucker" Oops...I shouldn't say those things :) He took that as the green light to go ahead and call her. Ha! Man am I glad he did, because her opinion was absolutely the right one and may have played a large part in the fact that my boy is alive and crazy as ever now.
Next topic: I hate Halloween. I hate everything about it except little kids dressed cutely. I hate monsters and masks and people being dressed up and trying to scare me. How is this fun for people?? I have a deadening fear of masks (and drag queens...I don't like not knowing what's REALLY under there) hence the hate for this holiday. That being said, somehow last night I was convinced to do a zombie walk with my girlfriends (and forcing my husband to go so I don't cry alone on the street when I become terrified :) ) I'm going to try to be a big girl. I decided I want to be a zombie bride. Now, I hate Halloween but I freaking LOVE doing hair & makeup so I'm pretty stoked about it. I'm going to Goodwill to find an old wedding dress (yes I've thought of how disgusting wearing someone else's old wedding dress will be...I might need to wear long johns underneath it) I watched some zombie make up tutorials to ensure that my look is legit and my sister promises me that if I look like everyone else there that they won't torture me. I'm going to go with it...
