Great news! Erik got a job. He is going to be a Help Desk Tech at the Academy of Art. He will get to do IT work which is what he wants to do. So, this is exciting!
Bad News...unfortunately, he has a weird shift of 3pm - Midnight from Friday - Tuesday. This means he has Wed & Thurs off. Which means we do not spend the weekend evenings together anymore. Which means he is home in the AM and I am home in the PM and we barely will see each other. When we first found out, we were both mad, upset, annoyed, wah wah. Now we are trying to think positive. So I am making like David Letterman and making a Top 10 list on why this job is a good thing.
1. Erik won't have to watch 'What Not To Wear' on Friday nights with me anymore
2. Evie won't be home alone all day
3. We both get 'alone' time
4. Date night during the week = cheaper meals
5. We don't have to argue over watching Idol, Housewives, Dancing with the Stars, etc
6. We can still go to free yoga on Sundays at 11 together
7. We have the mornings on the weekends to hang out
I'm still thinking of more....
This isn't so bad. At lease he is not leaving for the Marines or doing something crazy. Im sure if he was a med student, his schedule would be even worse. So, you know what, this is a good experience for Erik and he needs the job! Everything will be fine.....

I love the top ten list! Maybe Evie will be calmer now that she can get more exercise and attention! I bet you guys will appreciate the time you have and then will be less inclined to bicker! And.. think of when you didn't see each other a lot when you lived in CT. It's probably more than then, right?
