Let's hear about the good stuff

Everything is pissing me off or making me fussy lately. I'm trying to focus on the good things. Here's my start:

I work in a huge building downtown. I ran into someone I used to work with at another company in another city who transferred to an office in the city/building I work at now. I'm kinda grubby today, wearing Converse, old jeans, and a hoodie but I got to tell her that I run an important group of a tech startup. She's still in the same position she was in when we met 4 years ago (the company we were at was tough with promotions). Feeling like a total rockstar today.

Also, my coworker made a huge pot of chicken tortilla soup last night and brought it in for all of us to share for lunch. I work with great people

What good thing has happened to you today (or lately)?

I just bought a new camera for our honeymoon in Italy! We'll be on our way there in 34 days  

It's a Nikon, and I've always loved that brand, so I'm super excited about it. It's not anything crazy nice (it's not a DSLR, which FI has been dying for) but it's quite a lot nicer than my phone camera lol. 

And omg I'm so jealous of the chicken tortilla soup!

I look pretty cute today. Woke up to snow on the ground so I'm boycotting it with navy blue polka dot pixie pants and dark red leather peep toe pumps.

I'm trying REALLY REALLY HARD to feel the baby move even though I know most first-timers don't feel it for another 3-12 weeks. Edge case, come on!

My boss decided not to show up for work today. So I am working out at lunch and leaving early!

I have 6 days off for Spring Break after today...can't wait to relax a bit!  My husband also just sent me an email that he took off Thurs and Fri so we could have a long weekend together..yay!

I finally hired someone to replace me in my old position... which I was promoted from in November. Now I only have to do 2 people's jobs instead of 3!

Both of the owners are out today. 

I have Friday off. 

I finally got my business cards with my new, fancy title. 

My best friend will be home this weekend.

I love my new phone, it's sweet. I am about to bounce and visit a friend in Philly for the day, I paid off my student loans, and next week is my last week before going full time housewife/artist/somethingsomething.

I have a ridiculously good life. Slap me the next time I bitch about something pointless.

I'm going to a wedding this weekend which I'm excited about.

H and I spotted deer in our backyard the other day so he ran out and bought corn to feed them so they'll come around more.

I'm helping set up for a luncheon today at work, which means I also get to stay and eat the fancy (and free) food!

I have a four day weekend coming up, which will include a couples dinner date on Saturday night at one of my favorite restaurants.

 

I ordered my dog a bowtie and ID tag (that says "mom's favorite asshole") from Etsy on Sunday and the owner shipped my order out this morning! My pup is going to be fancy by the end of the week.

So far I have not caught H's AWFUL stomach bug and I'm crossing all of my appendages that I can stay healthy.  

 

I needed to remind myself of the good things after the shit day I had yesterday so thanks @wandajune6 for starting this thread!

You are a rockstar!

I'm so proud of DH. He graduates in May and has already had 3 interviews and has 2 more scheduled this week. One job (that we would need to move for) offered him the job but did not offer a high enough salary to justify a move, so he declined. I know it took me 4 months after graduation before I got an interview (which is the job I have now), so it's pretty awesome he has had so many interviews and offers this far.

H and I got most of our stuff unpacked in our new house this past weekend. I have a three day weekend this weekend, so I will be spending it relaxing!

Oh yeah and I'm pretty sure I'm getting French toast for lunch today. And extra sausage with extra syrup to dip it in. Because

Well things are looking up at my work, and I want to thank everyone for their words of sympathy yesterday :-)

My pork chops turned out good, though I prefer this other recipe I used a few weeks ago to the one I used last night. We got the majority of our STD's addressed and stamped; still waiting on a few more addresses.

One of my best friends from college will be in town this weekend, and my alma mater's basketball team is in the Final 4 (GO BUCKY!). Life is good.

We are 11 days from the wedding and all I have left to do is buy alcohol for the reception and finish up my gifts for the bridal party. We are kicking ass in the wedding planning dept!

Also I applied for a job back in FI's hometown because we really want to move back there any time after the wedding. I'm pretty confident that I could at least score an interview at this agency because I'm licensed, AND I did my internship there during grad school

chibiyui I'm so jealous! Especially of the paying off student loans part. I'll be paying mine for another 50 years at least lol

Slowest day ever.   I'm working until noon.  It's only 9 am.    

My packing is done at least.   We only have 1 med/large suit case.  DH took it (and it's stuffed).   I have the carry-on roller size (going to check)   Well with the weather in the East coast It's not really big enough. I have to take 2 laptops so I decided to bring another roller carry-on.  DH is annoyed I have 2 bags.    Umm, well with my 2 bags I still have less then your one large bag (plus he has an over stuffed backpack).

So yeah, that all sounded like it belongs on the FWP thread.  

Now the fun stuff.  The good news is WE ARE GOING ON VACATION!   in 3 hours we hop in the car for the drive to Denver.  Going to have a great dinner then take the red-eye to Philly.   Tomorrow I will be stuffing myself with soft pretzels, Yuengling beer and cheese steaks.  I CAN'T WAIT.

In just three days I get to see A and spend the long weekend with her.  OMG, I'm dying of excitement and glee but I'm also a nervous wreck.  

Also, I bought tickets for the Music Fest in Kitchener (not for the whole thing but one day) so I'll get to go see Blondie, Rod Stewart, Matthew Curry, and Mark Ballas, but mostly excited to see Blondie!  It's not until sometime in July but I don't go to a lot of concerts and I'm kind of pumped.

I got my lazy ass out of bed this morning and worked out. So that was pretty good.

Also, I'm so happy for my FI. His best man lives 4 provinces over, and his brother (a GM) lives 3 over. We did some research into men's clothing stores that would be near them so that they could easily pop in and get measured for suits.

We are going down to our hometown in 2 weeks to picks suits and then were just going to get the guys to go into their nearest store. We mentioned this to everyone, and much to our surprise, both his brother and his best friend decided that they would meet us that weekend. They're going to the trouble and expense to fly across the country to spend a weekend with us looking at suits.

My FI is giddy. He hasnt seen his best friend in a year and a half. I'm so happy for him

I got the final numbers called in for catering and our cupcakes, now we just gotta wait for them to email over the final bill.  I think we're done with detail stuff now other than getting my dress steamed and finishing up our video to play on the monitors at the venue!  I'm ready to stop bleeding cash and just get on with this thing. 

OMG - this morning a car coming from the other side of the highway hit the concrete barrier and flipped right on over it into our lanes and rolled several times.  I saw it, and thought it was a couch or something that fell off of somebody's car.  Luckily we were all able to stop and this person didn't crash into anybody else that I could see.  If I would have been 30 seconds earlier though, they would have creamed me.  Scary stuff...but lots of good samaritans rushed out to assist the person - I don't know how they are though because they were down in the ditch on the side of the highway with helpers - hopefully they had their seatbelt on.

I'm hanging out with sea lions tomorrow. I CANT FREAKING WAIT

H and I booked our 2 week Europe trip last night!!!  SO EXCITED!

I took my phone to Apple yesterday expecting to have to pay $80 for a battery replacement, but turns out the problem was with the software so I got a brand new phone for FREE! Then I took FI out to one of my favorite restaurants and he went shopping with me

Today is payday! 

(Not really because I have bills, but it's what I always feel like on payday.)

I can't contribute. I'm having a major negative Nancy Debbie downer day.

I'll read y'alls good stuff and try to make myself feel better

I won $2800 in the casino, last night of our Caribbean cruise. Used it to book a one week cruise, which was on sale,  on my favorite cruise line for December. Yey, me! 

The snow is melting!

I came to work dressed like I'm about to go to bed. Then I got to drive my mom's car down to Nashua to get lunch. I don't think I turned the volume down when I got back so she's probably going to fly through the sunroof when she turns the car on.

I am drinking a big lemonade and life is just dandy!!!!
