i'm a glass half full kinda girl and after complaining about my petty little problems on monday (though i needed it), i was feeling kinda guilty for bitching about such trivial things, so i thought that i would start a tuesday glad game (it's from the movie pollyanna) post.
i'm feeling better, my cold is going away.
talia's cute little pictures made my day.
my bf found out he got promoted last night which is a year earlier than he was supposed to!! i'm so proud and i can't wait to celebrate on wednesday!
i get to see my mom and grandma in two weeks with my bf for a mini vacation
i think i might call my lil sister today to see if she wants to go shopping and out for lunch (i love the fact that she lives close to me again, i forgot how much i love hanging out with her)
my two best friends called me yesterday (one was in spain, and the other is impossible to get ahold of...so i can't wait to catch up with them!)
i wasn't in a particularly good or bad mood this morning, but i feel really happy right now.

Glad that I am healthy and have no allergies (my poor bf's allergies are driving him insane lately)
Glad that I have such a wonderful man in my life (even if he is dragging his feet on proposing)
Glad that I even though I am not wild about my job I make enough to pay my bills, put some away and still help out those that are less fortunate than me from time to time
Glad that the firemen across the street from my bf's condo are sweet enough to let us play with their dog and take him for walks because we want a dog very badly, but aren't ready for one yet
Glad that I have you ladies in my life

Even though I am selfishly sitting at home hoping my client for this afternoon will cancel, I am glad that he wants to come to therapy and that in small steps I can help him speak after he has had a stroke.
When I first started my program a year ago, I thought I had nothing in common with anyone else. But I have become friends with everyone and some of them are among my closest friends ever.
I love the girls of Stylethread
I have a friend I've worked at camp with forever moving in with me today! I'm soooo excited--I feel lonely and homesick a lot, and I know she will help with this.
I love my kitty.
I will be finished with classes in May.
I have a family who not only loves me, but likes me and lets me know it. And I feel the same way about them.
I'm glad I have so many blessings to count.

All of your things sound great, but i couldn't help but laugh at this one. I love a new notebook! I'm going to a class tomorrow & i'll probably need like 2 pages for notes, but i'm going to buy a new cute one anyway!

What a great idea! This stuff is really beneficial for me because sometimes I am too negative
I'm glad my car is out of the shop and I don't have to drive a rental any more!
My bachelor's degree will be completed on Saturday!
I love fall television (Nip/Tuck, LOST, OC).
I work with some really great people.
I had a Premium Grilled Chicken Sandwhich and a Fruit and Yogurt Parfait for lunch (YES!).
I get to go home and watch my brother's homecoming football game.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and have had absolutely no morning sickness.
I'm married to the most wonderful man I've ever known.
My husband gets a huge paycheck this week because he's being compensated for all the overtime hours he's worked since he started his job (he's on contract and he wasn't being paid properly).
I am happy that all my friends and family are healthy and well.
I am happy for the tremendous amount of freedom I have in my life. Within reason, I can go anywhere I want, buy anything I want, and do anything I want. There's not really anything holding me back from doing things. I find that very rarely is there something I want that I can't find a way to have.
I am happy about the 3 cute outfits I discovered by mixing things that I already own!
I am happy that it will be October in 10 days and my shopping ban will be over. I am actually taking off of work early to hit the mall.
I think we should do this every day! it makes me happy to see why everyone else is happy & reminds me of some things I didn't say i was thankful for. Have you ever seen the gratitude journal idea? I did this once upon a time & it really did change my outlook - maybe i'll start up again
Gratitude Journal — Record five things you love every day. Your entire outlook on life will change because you will be looking for the things you are happy about to record later on in your journal. (from Oprah.com)

ditto. i didn't want to start getting obnoxious with all the things that make me happy, but it's nice being reminded by other people's joy. i swear i did not wake up with with some loving from my bf, hair perfect, coffee made, etc.. just a normal not great not horrible day and this has turned my day around.

I didn't participate in yesterday's bitchfest but I think I've started a post or two like that myself so I'm happy to see the converse.
I'm happy G wrote me a poem even though it was the worst poem I've ever read. (No really, it's baaaddd. But it's so sweet.)
I'm happy I don't feel rushed with G. Thanks to you girls on ST, I gave him another shot and it's working out well. I'm starting to trust him and feel like telling him things that I never tell anyone. But I don't feel rushed about it. I'm nervous about some things and I feel like I can wait until I'm not so nervous anymore and it will be okay.
I'm happy that my mom is being so great and helping me host a shower this weekend for my BFF.
I'm happy I hung up almost all my clothes and my closet looks so full and pretty!
I'm happy I have great girlfriends to watch bad reality dance shows with each week.
I'm happy I scrounged up enough change in my purse to buy a diet coke. I really needed a little bit of caffeine and carbonation.
I'm glad I'm going to the gym tonight and it's become a regular part of my life.
I'm glad my boss is gone today!!! Oh yeah.
Oh! And I'm happy I applied for two new jobs yesterday. I have a good feeling about them!
