What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 

Re: Bad news/good news

  • Bad news: I have another 90 minutes of work and the day is dragging by.  Good news: I will be done at the gym by 7 and will get to go home and laze around with FI for a few hours, and then tomorrow is Friday!
  • Oh, yum!  I think I'm going to have to have sushi for lunch now...
  • Bad news: Dog is sick and throwing up all over the placeGood news: I have a 3-day weekend starting in 25 minutes and the house to myself for the whole thing!

  • Bad News:  I don't get the results from yesterday's ultrasound until tomorrow at the earliest and I'm going crazy worrying. (Checking for ovarian cysts).Good News: Had a review of my level today and the Art Director liked what he saw. Minimal changes to be made and mostly ones that I had already thought of anyway.I am jealous of your sushi dinner!

  • Bad news- We've only received 3 declines for the wedding so far.  Crap.Good news- There could be more waiting in the wings?! Hopefully?
  • Amoro, I won't be able to make it to your wedding.  What, not helpful?
  • Good news: I get a free dinner tonight.Bad news: To get it, I have to sit through an hour and a half of listening to my mother fawn over my brother, my brother make stupid, snide comments, and my grandmother ask Noodle and I uncomfortable, potentially insulting questions.

  • Bad news - It's eleventy billion degrees in my apartment, I have to finish cleaning, and there is a huge, hulking storage closet in the middle of my tiny living room that the lady from craigslist has yet to pick up. Good news - FI's mom is on her way into town for a visit and Football starts tonight! Nugget, that sounds like a terrible, potentially mortifying price to pay for free dinner. You should order the most expensive thing on the menu. And dessert.
  • Yikes Nugget  that sounds terrible.

  • Bad News:  I got BITCHED at by a parent today who just wouldn't listen (i'm not always the bad guy, but i guess in people's eyes I am)Good News:  FI is working a double tonight, so I get to do my Wii Fit AND watch Project Runway without recording.  Sounds lame, but I rarely get to do BOTH of those things in the SAME night.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
