Those who know me know that I am not a big crier. In fact, I would say that I am dead inside. I'm a little more emotional since my father's passing, but for the most part I am still an ice queen. Except for today. Today I got news that my friend Joel (the annoying little brother I'm so glad my parents never gave me) got engaged. And I am ready to burst into tears because I am so happy for him. The only thing stopping me is that I am on the desk right now, and bursting out into the ugly cry would not be a good thing. But as soon as it is 3:00 p.m. and I am safely back in my office it will be ugly cry city.
