What three good things are going on in your life lately?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Re: Good Things Tuesday
1. I'm on vacation after this week.
2. It's cool and cloudy today and I love it. Summer comes tomorrow, I fear.
3. We finished a 6-month process of negotiating a new contract yesterday.
1. Tomorrow is MOVING DAY!!!!!
2. Last weekend was so much fun....still smiling when I think about how great a friend's baby shower turned out.
3. Did I mention I'm moving tomorrow?!?!?!?!?!? I'm so freaking excited!!!!!
1. the joys of morning (all day) sickness has passed (knock on wood) and I am almost back to my prepregnancy weight so my doctor should be very happy
2. I got a raise at work
3. I got my haircut yesterday and I am loving it!
1. I'm starting to feel more like my old self. Last week was a really hard one, but this week, I've gone back to yoga and I'm feeling much more centered and peaceful about the things in my life that I really can't control.
2. Our kitchen cabinets are almost done after what turned into a year long painting ordeal. I love the final product!
3. My garden. I love working out there, planting, and hopefully watching my flowers grow.
1. Making homemade meals again
2. Only one more month until our annual gold prospecting trip....I can not wait.
3. Reading
1. For the first time in a long time, I feel good and it's sticking. Normally when I feel good, it's a fleeting thing but right now I've felt good for a few weeks.
2. Today is my first payday at my new job and I'm getting more than I thought and budgeted for which is great. More money for padding and savings. This is great!
3. Today I feel good because I did my hair, put on makeup and even a little perfume. I don't feel totally put together since I'm limited on my wardrobe still, but even with that, I feel good and professional-looking.
After my crappy day yesterday it's hard to come up with three good things.
1. DH and I are ready to book our 1 yr anniversary trip.
2. I have DH's 30th bday bash to look forward to next Sat.
3. I paid off my car last Friday and the title is on its way to me.
1. My HCG levels are rising nicely
2. I got a new camera, and can try it out if the sun stays
3. The house is staying surprisingly tidy considering I'm taking it easy
1. Somehow, some way, (considering we were totally not trying) I appear to be pregnant. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday morning, so he'll check me out to confirm, but my all day nausea, sensitive nipples and positive home pregnancy test tell me I'm right!
2. I'm going to see Florence + the Machine on Sunday!
3. I have Wednesday off! Happy Shavuot!
1. I'm pretty much done with work until school starts again in August. (This is the last week of school)
2. We're going to Morro Bay next week!
3. Gorgeous weather...for the time being=).
1. I was spoiled, and feel incredibly overwhelmed with gratitude, after a beautiful baby shower on Sunday.
2. I can feel constant movement, kicks, turns, etc...and it's really helping me bond more and more with baby. I feel like I have a little friend to hang out with all the time.
3. Our friends that had their baby girl last week (at just 26 weeks gestation) have been blogging about her progress and she is doing really well. They can finally hold her and she is getting teeny bits of breastmilk and they should be able to start fattening her up with even more soon. I'm so so happy that she is as healthy and thriving as she is. She's a little fighter!!
2. The promise of school being over very soon and lots of celebrations with friends.
3. I'm not getting stress colds like everyone else at school.
Tea Time for Lulu
1. I've only had one cup of coffee in the last week - trying to wean myself off copious amounts of caffeine and drink tea instead. I feel so much better, and when I do drink coffee now it actually does something!
2. Along with the caffeine reduction, I'm sleeping and eating better too. I'm really trying to eat smaller portions and lots and lots of veggies, and it appears to be sticking.
3. And finally, we might be closing on our new house as early as next week!! That would be 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Then we can have the house fumigated while we're out of town during the later part of next week/that weekend, and our new home will be all ready for us to move into when we get back.

Ooh have a great time in France, Kat!
1) We have an actual real contender for a wheelchair accessible apt! (in a better area than the other one)
2) I had a Famous Star for dinner and it tasted like my childhood (we usu went there instead of McDonald's or BK)
3) I have some good work clothes after a couple shopping trips with ZoeMay

1. I have a long weekend ahead (even though 2 days are traveling it's better than being at work!).
2. Finally getting my haircut this Thursday, it grew too much since March & I won't have a shaggy do for my mom's wedding.
3. My little sister (she's almost 30, ha-ha) got offered a full time teaching job in AZ - she'll teach 2nd grade and I'm so happy and excited she finally gets to use her college degree. And it's her dream grade too.
