“Amber, I have some good news and some bad news.”
“Oh no. What?”
“The good news is that annoying mouse is gone from our backyard.”
“Good? That’s GREAT? What’s the bad news?”
“A snake ate it.”

[Setting: A certain someone calls Hunky Hubby at work singing "Do you love me?" from Fiddler on the Roof.]
“What did you do, Amber?”
“I am offended you would assume the worst.”
“I know you too well.”
“If you must know, I have some good and bad news.”
“WHAT?”
“I was mowing the lawn for you and accidentally destroyed the sprinkler head. You know, the one on the small plot near the mailbox.”
“AMBER, THAT IS THE NEIGHBOR’S SPRINKLER HEAD!”
“Oh? Well, that must be the good news, then!”

Just $1
Want to help bring someone some great news? My cute roommate Jill from BlogHer is fundraising for her marathon in November. She has committed to raising $3,500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and is asking for folks to donate just $1 (anonymously even). It’s kind of an experiment to see how quickly the kindness of strangers in the digital world can help raise the money. For more information, go here: http://jillwillrun.com/just-1/
