Last week was kind of a bummer.  My favorite North American truck manager — my husband, Kev — got laid off.  Sigh.  Stupid economy.  At first, we were shocked: we need to sell our livers, condo, and guitars!  But then we settled back down to earth, my ballerina flats and Kevin’s old school Asics making contact with the ground.  Yes, it was a hiccup in our semi-plans.  But we’ll be okay.  I still have a job (if I don’t get fired for instant messaging about boobs.)  We have all of our limbs and each other.  Life is good.

I’ve been following a wonderful writer, Gretchen Rubin; she writes The Happiness Project on Slate, a blog exploring different concepts, myths, and experiments about happiness.  She has a nice piece about how to process a crisis.

Very sound advice.  Except that ice cream bit.  Everybody knows it totally helps.  Duh.
