Definition

OK, blogging world, please help me out. What is the difference between being assertive and being aggressive? The seem similar, but one requires grace and the other does not. The new managment wants us to be 'go-getters' but then when we do we are said to be pushy.

Let me know what you think...

Wolf update

Today the wolf was blown out. For a long time my little group of co-workers and I were without a leader. Just recently one was hired. After months of chasing and fighting the wolf was put in his place.

Despite the perceived victory, it makes me sad that it took such a blow to bring him under control. One of my work friends Mz. B. says that I have too much Pollyanna in me. Some days I wish Polly would stay home...she spoils everything. :)

I think the mantle has been passed.

I've never been the host of a holiday meal, always the guest. And I think I've always been glad about that. Still the kid.

This year however, we (hubby and me) made Thanksgiving dinner and everyone came to our house. Food was yummy, everyone remained agreeable, and sweet hubby did the dishes. All in all I think it was a success.

This weekend we got a phone call from hubby's mom. She said "I didn't know you could cook." At first I thought that was a bad thing, of course I can. And then I realized, the word is out. I will now be expected to cook...cuz I can. I think the holiday mantle has been passed.

WHAT DO I DO NOW? :)

Blog Hog

I must confess I am a blog hog. I have read many blogs and enjoyed them, but have failed to post any myself.

I will try to do better...
