Let's be positive

I came into the office today and everyone was moaning and complaining about EVERYTHING.  The snow, the students, money, bad hair day...  So, let's change it up.  Let's be positive.  What is going on in your life that is positive/good?

I'll start.  Yes, I had to drive in bad snow to get to work, but I am thankful that I have a job.  It is a great job that I worked hard to get and it is more than some people out there.

Re: Let's be positive

  • It may be blizzard-y outside, but I don't have to go anywhere today. I have a good book, lots of tea and a nice fuzzy blanket to curl up under. My favorite way to spend snowy days. :-)

  • My OB's finally came to an agreement and I am scheduled for my induction no ifs ands or buts on Jan 19th at 7:30am! That is 6 days from today!!!!!  Best news of my life. 

    Hope everyone has a great day today!!! 

  • Storm- January 19th that sounds like a great birthday! Glad you finally got some concrete news.

    It's a beautiful day today, but very cold. And I have my first photography class, which I'm very excited for. Tomorrow me and DH are going to the river (he will be fishing) to take some nature pictures. Here's for usseasonably dry weather!

  • This is incredibly materialistic of me, but DH and I chatted last night and agreed to get an area rug for the living room, and a new coffee table!  

    Also in the works are plantation shutters (so excited) and the cutest chicken coop and chickens you ever saw!

    Urban chickens for eggs and companions=we are very cool people haha

    Last but certainly not least, we leave for Puerto Rico in two weeks!  Booooyaaa!!!

  • I got some cute new shoes yesterday.

    Today was payday. 

    I have a three day weekend.

    Hooray! 

  • Thanks ladies!  It is so good to hear positives!  I forgot to add mine:

    Even though there is a lot of snow, I am thankful that I have a job, got home safely, and get to see DH after being away for 3 days!  And I get a 3 day weekend!

  • Well, I didn't have a snow day despite the pretty bad snow we got.  But I'm okay with that because it means that we are still scheduled to get done with school on May 30th!  

    Also, today was payday (thank God, because we were broke with a capital B) for both DH and myself.  In honor of our newly stable bank account, we are going to make out way to Fresh Market in a few to pick up some goodies to cook dinner together tonight. 

  • We got the nasty snow, and it wasn't a snow day, but I needed today to get through more marking and prep for my students' final exams, so I was happy to be at work!

    DH and I are continuing to follow our 'healthier choices' goals and it's paying off, so that makes me really happy, and you know what? I feel FANTASTIC!!

    Most importantly, tomorrow (the 14th) is my Grandfather's 85th birthday! Last year at this time we didn't know if he was going to make it through until this year (intense heart surgery and he actually died twice but was revived), so I am incredibly happy and blessed that he's still here! I am heading to his place tomorrow morning to visit with him, and he doesn't know that I am coming, so it will be a nice surprise!

    So all-in-all, I am happy and have LOTS to be positive about!!

  • well although tomorrow is my list "free Saturday" until the end of tax season I am super excited about it because I'm spending the day with my bestie scrapbooking and having a girls night! We haven't gotten to hang out in a while so I'm uber excited.

     I'm also excited because DH has been making progress on our reno's on the farm house so hopefully he can get his part done so I can do my stuff and we can get a renter in there and not have to pay out so much extra money each month!

    Two people with three day weekends, is it a holiday Monday?

    Make that three people with a three day weekend! Yes it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday! WooHoo. And it is suppost to snow Monday. Four day weekend? Portland+ snow= City shut down!

  • I am 35 weeks today - only 5 more weeks until my due date!  And this weekend H and I are going to get all of the things we still need for Lucia, and then we'll hopefully finally finish her nursery!  I can't wait!

  • I know I am a little late to the game, but will add mine anyways: 1. Giants just won against the Packers. 2. I am at 30% of my sales quota and it's just January. 3. I think I married the most wonderful hubby in the world. 4. Both of my BMs who miscarried the first pregnancies have their cute little chubby angels and I am an auntie :) I love sharing the positive things in our lives :)
