happy things


reasons i'm smiling this week (and weekend):

- i dropped my painting class (i CRIED in class last week - it was just too much for me) and am now taking a friday class that i love instead ("comic spirit" - comparative world lit class studying humor as a genre - we get to read shel silverstein, my favorite poet!)

- because of furloughs, i don't have to go to school today!

- fridays have become my "i get to wear cute clothes" day since i can't wear them any other day (because i have tennis, jazz, and ballet). maybe i'll start taking friday morning photos? we'll see.

- super fun plans for tomorrow during the day

- a birthday party SCAVENGER HUNT tomorrow night: do you know how much i LOVE scavenger hunts or games of any kind?? so excited.

- the weather's getting cooler (hallelujah!)

- i'm looking forward to wearing my beautiful new coat soon (i went with option three in this vote - it's anthro and soooo cute on).

- we have all brand new tires on our little werewolf. levi noticed a HOLE in one and then we got a flat in another the next day.

- baby gretel snack-pack should be coming home this weekend!!! i can't wait to cuddle my new little kitty.

- i have done a really great job cooking at home this week: very proud of myself. i might post recipes over the weekend in case anyone wants them.

- we bought a couch on labor day! it's supposed to come next week.

- levi and i just bought tickets to go to san francisco for thanksgiving with my family! i loooove sf and can't wait for november! and trips with my family are always so much fun.

- the weekend is here! have a fantastic one!


p.s. i'm not forgetting what today is by not posting about it. i remember, and i will never forget. my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with everyone today.

  2. ohhh those ARE happy things! I wish I had that many! All I've got is my doctors appointment Tuesday and the fact that I'm also getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte Tuesday (I'm off the caffeine, so it's a BIG treat!)

    I'm jealous of the San Fran trip!

  3. I would love recipes! Only if they're easy because I don't like to invest a lot of time in cooking ;) I want the food in my tum asap! It sounds like you had a fantastic week! Thanks for sharing.

  6. We are getting another puppy! I guess my jelousy at your adorable new gretel has resulted in us getting another dog as I predicted. :)

  11. We'll definitely need picture of the new kitty. It's sad you had to drop art class, but what a great-sounding replacement. No college around here does anything like that.

  12. I think just posting about all of these happy things really shows the beauty of life, and really enhances what the date is. Showing that life is too short. Wonderful post.
