I need this today. Name three good things going on in your life right now.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Re: Good Things Monday
1. After months of hemming and hawing, I think I finally found a paint color that will work in our kitchen -- and I have a friend willing to help me paint it.
2. Soon, I'm not sure when but soon, I will be able to take some time off.
3. I paid $3.99 for gas yesterday.
1. Next week I have two of my best friends visiting me from home. I am so beyond excited for all the fun things we have planned. I just want to fast forward and have it be here already!
2. I've JUST found a lot of motivation to get tons of stuff done this week. Made a homework schedule, and will stick to it. If I can get everything done, I will be in a really good place when my friends come so I won't have to constantly duck out for work.
3. Bought a blueberry bush and our veggies are sprouting up all over the place. Excited, I hope we get some stuff to eat this year!
Tea Time for Lulu
1. I have a job
2. I have my health
3. I have a wonderful husband
The way my day is going thus far I need to keep reminding myself of these three things!
1. DH FINALLY told off our neighbors (in a polite and firm way) that if they continue to fight, yell, etc. He will be contacting our landlord. This is after we were woken up around midnight of them fighting last night. We have been more than patient with them. While we got peace and quiet after that, it took me over an hour to go back to sleep.
2. I get paid on Friday.
3. This weekend was my first weekend of not studying and it was glorious. DH and I spent a wonderful weekend doing things and catching up. It was wonderful.
dd could very well be going back to her old dcp ... just need to figure out when we want to do the switch
the detroit wed wings are NO longer in the stanley cup playoffs !!
it's spring !
1. We painted our bathroom this weekend and never again have to look at the nasty lime green.
2. CA!!
-we have nothing planned this weekend (except for one bridal shower) but otherwise we get to just hang out
-dh has been very sympathetic to me feeling completely drained yesterday and today
-dd is almost done with school, last day is May 26th!!
I like this!!!
1) We're going to San Diego for Memorial Day weekend (can't wait to just lay on the beach)
2) DH has agreed that we can get a dog in July!!!
3) (my favorite) We are at T minus 29 days to Paris!
1. Compared to this time last year, life is MUCH better, and continuing on an upward trajectory (and is proof that when life hits its shittiest lows, that there really is nowhere to go but up) .
2. I signed up yesterday with Team In Training to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon!!! This will be my first time doing anything like this. So, I'm excited, but nervous -- but mostly excited!
3. I'm excited about going to see Glee in concert with DH in a week!
1. my boss was in today and he was looking SO good. (he was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and the chemo has been brutal on him)
2. yesterday i had mom & daughter time with corina, went to the movies, shopped, grocery shopped, laughed & sang in the car..it was a good day.
3. *i just saved a bunch of money by switching to geico
*ok not really, but i couldn't think of a 3rd good thing
1. I got to hang out with a friend on Saturday who I haven't seen in months, and it was really nice to catch up. And I get to have dinner with another great friend who's in town on Thursday night!
2. DH and I are talking about taking a quick trip to Vegas in a few weeks. It's not for sure yet but just the IDEA of going out of town for a couple of days makes me feel a little less stressed out. I hope it comes together.
3. I plan on baking lemon bars very soon. Lemon bars always make me happy.
Only 4 more days of instruction
Only 8 more days until I'm completely done for the summer
My husband would do anything to make me happy
LOL...made me totally smile. =D

1. I have the greatest kid ever. (Sorry, I'm biased, but he really is the best.)
2. I love my job.
3. My DH is the best guy in the world.
4. A major crisis was averted this weekend that involved a broken chain and diamonds.
Haha, me too!
1. 2 days (and counting, by the looks of this morning) of beautiful, ultimate perfect weather in Misawa. This NEVER happens this time of year!
2. Our favorite friends we've made here so far just got back from an 8 month deployment. We're so excited to be able to hang out with them again!
3. CA CA CA!! I'm so excited about coming home and all the fun things I have planned.

2) DH's comedy stuff is really taking off (going on tour for 4 months in Sept and hopefully his documentary will be completed: http://tinyurl.com/3nnqhax )
