Eveything's gonna get lighter, even if it never gets better.

Today was, quite simply, awesome. And, I mean, it's not even six yet. Let's discuss the reasons:
1) I got my Barnes and Noble package today. That alone guarantees an excellent day.

2) I ate pretty much half a loaf of jalapeno cheddar bread. With cream cheese. It was delicious. I do not regret it in the slightest.

3) A Down East miracle. Just for me. There's this shirt I really love at Down East. Except for the part where it is this awful yellow-green-puke color. That I cannot abide. So today while I am hard at work organizing clearance I come upon the shirt in a soft dusky grey. Just one. In my size. Apparently it very randomly arrived in our shipment yesterday. So of course I bought it. (Along with a new super cute purse. Which I actually needed because my old one was falling apart.)

4) I got a postcard and a letter in the mail today. And both were a complete surprise.

5) I didn't shower today and yet my hair still looks fairly decent.

6) This is my 100th blog posting.

So in order to reward you, my loyal readers (all three of you), and to spread the love, happiness, and good days around I have decided to have a give-away. All you have to do is comment. Tell me something that made you happy today. A week from today I will have a drawing containing the names of everyone who commented. The winner will receive a small surprise package from me.

I love you.

ok. First, I need a new purse like nothing else and I've been searching for "the one." Where did you find yours? I love it.
What made me smile today? Simultaneous naptime of my two youngest, which comes with the knowledge that my house is safe from destruction for at least 2 hours, absolute peace and quiet, and often (today actually) a siesta for me as well. Can't ask for anything better. I'm glad you had such a good day too, Emily. I think you are charming.

Kimberlyn belting out Twinkle, Twinkle little star at the talent show. And then her dance. I couldn't stop smiling.

Forget the purse (at least for me).
But, a smiling moment for me today was when I told one of my classes that our lesson was a serious sort and that I was feeling it was a Friday and that I was tired, so I announced that I was breaking out my treat box and I began to throw and toss, M&M's, Starbursts, Whoppers, Hershey's Chocolate bars, Milk Duds around the room to each student. There were many smiles all around. Sometimes you just have to do the unexpected. It was a nice moment indeed and then we proceeded to have some fun with our serious lesson. We even played "Huckle, Buckle, Beanstalk". Just saying that makes you smile:)!!!

What made me happy?
1)Today I listened to your CD mix, I recognized the title of your blogpost, which is crazy because I've only listened to it once, but that line jumped out to me and I was like hey I'm gonna remember that - so I'm proud of my memory.
2) I'm so happy that you love jalepeno and cheddar bread, WHY? Because it is my favorite bread... in institute we all had to say our favorite bread, and that was on my mind the whole time.
3)I ate so much food today... and it was awesome.
4) I got to see some deer, and take pictures of them up close.
5) On the ride home from Wyoming I listened to music and it was so nice.
6) C.W. texted me today.
7) I got a phone call from an Asian.. only it was just an american with a fake Asian accent.
8) I get a lovely chance to win a lovely package... which I want!
