Name three good things going on in your life right now, no matter how trivial.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Re: Good Things Thursday
1. I was thrilled to find that a hairdryer made removing the gross contact paper from our kitchen a cinch. I actually got to unpack my kitchen last night. So excited!
2. It's been so nice to be in the new house. It's just nice here.
3. My parents are coming weekend after next and I'm excited to show them the house.
1. I love my job!
2. I love my house!
3. I love my husband!
4. I love my cats!
I know thats four things but I am happy today. Oh and good thing number five, DH and I finally have a day off together and he is making pancakes!
1. I get paid tomorrow.
2. I am enjoying my job!!
3. See this link http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/48357961.aspx
Good luck
1. Love my husband - (& cats)
2. We have the ball rolling on a house; waiting for the loan packet to make it's way toward me and find out when the title paperwork will start.
3. My job - although some days I dread going in (because I feel burnt out), I feel very fortunate that I have a boss who doesn't micromanage, like most of my co-workers and will possibly telecommute a few days per week when #2 (above) happens since my commute will be longer.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
My friend from high school had her baby boy yesterday
DH and I are going to see Ozzy and Slash in concert a week from today. I can't wait!
I have Cuties in my lunch today.
Good dust!
Me:
1) my son is napping which means happy baby...which means happy mama.
2) I am packing to fly to Seattle this evening to help my BFF find her wedding dress.
3) I'm getting a new camera. I wasn't going to buy it today but I'm feeling all impulsive and if the nap doesn't last too long, I'm doing it. If not today, then next Tuesday, assuming it's not sold out by then.
Aren't they the best? I used to save mine for lunch but now I am eating two a day. DH and I fight over the last one.
1. dh and I are so happy. I feel like we are dating, lol. Not that we weren't ever not happy, just that sometimes the routine of work and everything consumes us and we forget the little things.
2. I get to hangout with my good friend on Saturday night in WC.
3. Tomorrow is Friday.
1. One of our cats has become the most loving cat ever to me. He is such a joy to have wake me up, and just wants to sleep near me/my belly--he loves the baby.
2. DH is so on board with my crazy ideas that it makes me love him more and more--crazy idea #30,217 is urban gardening, and we are going to do great things this weekend to get it into place!
3. I was just informed what maternity leave is going to be, and while I still hold out a little hope for other ideas, I am super excited by the package and flexibility, and I can't wait for June!
1. Friends of ours offered us their Timeshare in Tahoe for this weekend, completely free...we debated inviting friends, etc...but in the end, it's just the two of going. I am so excited, I could cry.
2. My BFF and I have really bonded over the last few months. Nearly 17 years of friendship...it's awesome to have someone in my life who knows me like she does...I don't even think anyone in my family knows me better than her. I just feel sappy thinking about it. So lucky.
3. While I HATE that I have to move cubes (from the penthouse to the freaking basement, I tell ya!)...I'm almost looking forward to the change-it-up. I'm trying to look on the bright side - even a crappy, no-window cube is a new cube. Hopefully it'll feel like when you move furniture around in a room...even when it's less functional and you don't necessarily prefer it, the change feels sort of fun and new and refreshing right? Trying to look on the bright side and make this a "good thing" as I pack my cube... *somewhat sad, trying to be happy face*
1. A very talented coworker is making me a new apron!
2. Today is my Friday.
3. I have very little planned this weekend so I might actually get some long-overdue organization done.
2. See ticker, 4 months from today is the EDD
3. I didn't eat any ice cream yesterday
1. I just booked an awesome trip to the Columbia Gorge with DH in late April
2. We got a great tax refund, and have bene able to pay a lot of debt.
3. DS is sick, but got Tamiflu & is starting to look/feel much better.
1. I saw a beautiful picture yesterday.
2. T has been so amazing lately, sweet and thoughtful.
3. We've been watching the West Wing on Netflix and are almost done with the last season. 7 seasons down. It's a fabulous show.
Is it your first time watching it? DH and I are addicted, have all of the seasons on DVD and have watched the show from beginning to end several times.
It's my first time all the way through. I had seen snippets of different seasons but I never appreciated it until now. We have two more discs to go and almost want to stretch it out because we don't want it to end!
1. Today is a beautiful day, and I woke up with breath in my lungs and my wonderful Huz beside me.
2. Today, my Huz has a good job, we have food on the table, and are healthy.
3. Today, we have our adorable Buns, wonderful friends and family, and feel loved all the time.
I don't know what tomorrow, or next week, or next month holds, but today is good.
That's how we felt too
I seriously mourned when we finished watching it. Get it on DVD so you can have West Wing marathons whenever you want 
1. It's not snowing today. In fact, the sun is shining!
2. I've been super healthy and on track with working out the past few weeks.
3. I'm planning to go on a mission to find snow monkeys this weekend!
#1 DH and I are TTC, and according to my charts, I should be pretty fertile this week!
#2 I'm really loving my job right now. It is really unstressful and fun. Plus, I like all the people I work with.
#3 I went to yoga this morning and had a great session. Love that I get a free gym membership as part of my job!
1. Passed my Neuropsych exam.
2. Puppy and kitties are getting along better than expected. Not perfect, but not horrendous either.
3. Celebrating a friend's birthday tomorrow, going to Dave and Busters! Can't wiat to play skeeball.
Tea Time for Lulu
For #1-good luck sending fertile vibes to ya!
For #3-I am super jealous you have a free gym membership
