Good Things Tuesday
We haven't done one of these in a while. Name three good things going on in your life right now, no matter how small.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Good Things Tuesday
1. I feel like I'm actually making headway with some of our home decorating and other projects.
2. This weather is amazing. I wish it stayed like this all year.
3. Our backyard is blooming like crazy. Every few days something new pops up and it's like Christmas.
2) Shopping & entertainment
3) Friends
I got all three of these during the awesome long weekend DH and I just had in NYC. We went down for a wedding but also had amazing food (omikase at Morimoto, special tasting made just for us by a friend who's head chef at SaraBeth's, a great wedding reception), came across a fantastic sample sale and proceeded to buy 3 dresses and 2 tops, saw Avenue Q, and got to catch up with some old college friends. It was a great three days.
1. DH is back to working day shift
2. I'm back on track with grad school applications
3. I just started volunteer training for a great organization in Santa Cruz county.
1. We had a fun weekend with friends.
2. I am still in love with my new car.
3. My husband has been doing ALL of the chores, cooking, finances, etc. for the past few weeks because I have become a lazy bum. Usually we split things 60-40ish (him being 40ish, lol).
1. My husband. My heart is so full of love for him.
2. My family.
3. Maintaining joy--after all, joy is always possible.
1. I get to attend a work conference at Disneyworld in a month
2. The nice weather is letting me live in flip flops when I'm not at work
3. We find out in less than a week if we're having a boy or a girl
1. I love homemade ice cream. I doubt I will buy it in the stores unless it is necessary.
2. The Sharks clinched the Pacific Division last night. So if they can play in the playoffs like they did last night then they would have no problem reaching the Stanley Cup Finals
and for the best one....
3. We are NOT, I repeat NOT going to be with the IL's for Easter this year and I am beyond EXCITED!! So you are wondering what brought this on?? DH suggested it. :-). There is a Gold Prospecting Fair up in Placerville that weekend and he wants to go and make a weekend getaway for us. I did not object. So we will spend the weekend up there and then on Easter Sunday visit my sister and nieces since this is my youngest niece's 1st Easter and that is what matters. Oh and DH already sent an email to his sister saying we will not be there for Easter :-). I LOVE it. Can you tell I am excited???
oh and if you want to know the main reason for this, PM me as it is a looonnnnnggg story.
I have no good things right now. I'm away from home and I'm very sick. Last night, I woke up every 45 minutes with a low grade fever, either freezing cold or burning up, back pain in my shoulders and lower back and throwing up.
And my flight leaves tonight. How am I going to get on a plane feeling like this?
1. There are 24 days left until my last day of work before I go on leave.
2. The weather has been awesome.
3. My nephew turns one on Sunday. Time is just flying by!
1. The sun is shining and I am wearing a pair of capris and flip flops today!!!!
2. It's less than a month until I head to Mexico for a few weeks.
3. I weighed myself this morning and when I finally got brave enough to open my eyes, I realized that I've lost 3 lbs since the last time I weighed. Big surprise, but a very welcome one.
*abvernon, I pm'ed you*
1. The sunny weather totally lifts my mood.
2. I (mostly) cleaned the kitchen and it gives me such a sense of satisfaction. I feel like my world is better when my kitchen is clean.
3. I might get to see a childhood friend in a couple of weeks, who is going to be visiting the area.
I'm sick today so it's hard to feel like anything is good, esp when I have the job fair in a few days. But...
1) Tonight is Murdoch Mysteries Night.
2) I'm enjoying my current book a lot.
3) My DH always takes such good care of me when I'm sick.

For anyone who talks with me offline, you know that it has been a rough few weeks. But here goes:
1) Today is my FRIDAY!!!
2) My sister is throwing a shower on Saturday for me... and I am looking forward to it.
3) On Monday, my house is mine again!
