WOW!

Things that made me happy today...


I believe every day has something good that happens.  Today was a pretty good day, but there are some days that are not.  It's finding those happy things and realizing them.  Sort-of like how some people keep thankful journals where they write down 3 things good that happened in their day every night.  I have done this at times in the past.


There were a few things that made me especially happy today:


*A couple of my friends gave me a fun new beer to try because...

That's sort-of a joke... sort-of.  I always complain that I don't want to be an adult ;)
Karen was in on it too when she wrote on my facebook wall with a similar statement.  Yeah, maybe I say that too much?


*I parallel parked my car on the first try!  This came after a very frustrating parking time Saturday evening.  Where there were two different spots that my car would fit into, but I didn't have the skills to get it in.  Very frustrating.  Then I watched videos on youtube and discussed with one of my parallel parking pro friends.  And I did it!
I mean what's the point in having a compact car if I can't parallel park it?


*The Cardinals game!
Coming off the All Star break the Cardinals had a rough start, to say it lightly.  It was a bit frustrating.  And then last night happened...
This video gave me goosebumps!

Lynn had a great night pitching.  Then the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes, Holliday RBI.  2-2.  Craig RBI 3-2.  Bam.  They held them in the bottom of the 9th and we win!!!!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
