Metric's post got me thinking. We should all be able to tell people about the good things that happen to us with out worrying about negative reactions from Debbie Downers. Life is too much work not to be able to share and appreciate the small, wonderful things that happen to us every day.
So let all post at least one good thing that has happened to us today or recently. It can be large or tiny. I'll start.
I have a desk calendar that shows a new work of art each day. Every morning I get to change the day and see something new that is beautiful. It makes me smile.
I just received a dinner invitation to meet with these people that own an e-commerce site and are interested in having me work with them... I connected with them though the most fantastic headhunter I've ever worked with.

It happens every morning, but every morning it makes me so happy...BF wakes up about 10 min before me and makes me tea, so that when I finally roll out of bed, it's ready and waiting for me! It's the best way to wake up
And when I got to work, I checked my email and I had $15 in rebate $$ to use at Drugstore.com, which I totally forgot about

I've saved up all the $5 amazon.com giftcards that I've won using Swagbucks and today used them all for my 'free' purchase...the dish set I have been dreaming of for a year and a half.
I finally got my permanent retainer fixed. It's been broken a few months. Best of all, it was free! It's not that exciting, but nothing else has happened today.
Congrats Tati!

My boyfriend and I get the whole weekend together, no kids, no plans. Today I'm getting my hair chopped off SHORT and I'm super excited, I'm adding more tattoos to my back on Friday, we're going got the Taste of Chicago, going to see Buddy Guy on the 4th, No Doubt tomorrow and I'm eating goldfish crackers with Diet Mountian Dew for lunch. Life is good.

Collette - so happy things are finally looking up for you sweetie!!
I'm happy it's a short week, a dress I *just* bought at Anthro went on sale for 60% off, so I can get a price adjustment, and SO and I just planned a week long vacation, which we haven't done together in far too long!
This is fun! I have a 3 day weekend coming up, which rocks! This morning Hayden asked me if he could go swing. Of course we didn't have time since I had to get him to his sitter and get to the office. We were driving down the road and he said "I'm going swinging when I get home". I asked him why he wanted to swing (he usually doesn't care much about it), he said he needed to go high in that swing so he could visit God and Papaw. I love my boy, he always says something to start my day off right!
yeah for everyone! We are going to Granbury for July 4th. They have all day events and a huge fireworks display. I never been and this is my DH hometown, so he wants me to see the events.
Oh and they have Old fashion games...sack race ,egg toss and cow chip toss Iam totally ready to do these expect for the cow chip toss
Oh and Iam enjoying staying at home and seeing rowdy get better at walking

Totally great idea!!! Kind of like seeing the silver lining EVERY DAY
Things that made me happy today: 1)This sounds so lame but I am in love with the way I did my makeup today. Its f-ing flawless!!! 2)My boss complimented me on my weight loss. He felt so awkward saying it "er I know I shouldn't be commenting on stuff like this but er. I can't help but notice you've lost a significant amount of weight" 3)I started a weight loss/life journal to serve as a food diary and track my progress and random thoughts.
Even though I'm having issues with my boss again, there are a number of things I DO feel good about:
1. I lost 4 lbs! I know it's not a lot, but I only just started keeping track of what I'm eating, and I'm just happy to FINALLY see the scale moving in the right direction. 2. I've been able to go to yoga 2 to 3 times a week, which I love. It always makes me feel better. 3. Only a month and a few days until I go on vacation with my boyfriend! Yay! 4. I went swimming last night, and even though the first 1500 yards didn't feel so great, I finally felt like I settled into my stroke by the second half.
1. I am happy to be back online and able to say hi. So. Hi!!! 2. We just had the most amazingly fun* family vacay EVAH. Pic's to be posted soon. 3. Other than thinking I need to tone a up a bit I feel really, really good about myself. I'm at my fighting weight and I'm choosing to not listen to the "skinny" comments. 4. Buggy Bean's birthmark is getting lighter.

1). Got a free lunch at Luby's -- always NICE when YOU don't have to pay
2). I have a credit on my electric bill acct. (was $206.00), NOT REALLY PAYING ATTN. TO IT. I called them up today, and they said they'll apply the credit to my acct. until it runs, so EXTRA MONEY in my acct for the next 2 or 3 mos.! WOO! HOO!
3). Got an email from InStyle, saying, "Reader, we we want you back". *yeah right* (LOL) Said I could get 13 issues for $19.50. I took it hook, line, and SINKER. I DID NOT renew my last one w/them b/c they wanted $29.90, and I AM NOT paying that much for any magz. subscription, so YEAH! Having a good hump day! :)
