What has surprised you the most lately? Good or bad suprise?

Good surprise: Getting a dog wasn’t nearly as much work as I thought it would be. I was prepared for it to drastically change my lifestyle, to cause me to stay home every night, spend hours cleaning the carpets in my apartment, etc. Instead, Tyler is great! He never pees inside, is fine on his own for period of time (not TOO long), and in general is a great addition to my family without being stressful.

Bad surprise: Dan’s job has gotten incredibly stressful with incredibly long hours. He’s hard at work making a new game, and I’m totally supportive of that, but his hours are pretty nuts. Last night he came home at 2 am. Last week it was midnight each night. He’s working so hard, something I knew was inevitable at Zynga, but I think even this is more than either of us anticipated. Hopefully when the game comes out it will all be worth it :/

On the positive, I can hang out with the dog when he’s at work….
