Bits of Joy

I was immensely happy today, for no particular reason. I thought I'd share some of the things that made me smile today!

1. My kitties giving me loads of hugs all day and this adorable post that is just like them:



2. I only paid $13.95 to get my taxes done start to finish on TaxACT. I compared the final numbers with what TurboTax or TaxCut would have given and they were exactly the same. Who doesn't love saving $35?!?

3. The BF graciously helped me with some homework and sent me some good references for future help. I know it's silly, but I always feel like a million bucks when he thinks of me for the little things through out the day :-)

4. I caught myself singing out loud everything I thought all morning ... and that really made me happy!

5. This story that was just on Consumerist and this one that I found in SSG's blogroll because they were just HIGH-larious.

6. Two friends and former colleagues sent me great job opportunities. It's great to know I'm remembered!

7. My baby sis sent me some pics of her an her pink hair and latest romantic fling. I so love seeing her happy.

8. My job interview (for my fall back career)was eye opening but good. Not sure if it was great, but it made me realize that I definitely want to stick with my career change and not panic and fall back just because times are a bit tough.

9. People are reading my blog! you guys are the best <3

10. Sunny California weather. *crossing fingers that the unseasonably warm weather lasts*

11. The stew I made yesterday was delish today!

Birthday Thanks!

Today is my Birthday, yay! Other than a massive sugar high and crash from delicious cupcakes, I had a nice low key day. Since I have a race next Sunday I will officially be celebrating on the 7th so as not to let alcohol impair my race performance.

I felt a great deal of love and happiness aimed at me today and I feel immensely grateful for all I have:

  • A deliciously loving and supportive BF
  • Good friends I can trust
  • Family that is close even though they're across the country
  • The best (future) In-Laws anyone could ask for
  • Two of the cutest kitties on the face of the planet
  • A plethora of adorably sweet nieces
  • An awesome new couch
  • A great place to live
  • The skills to obtain a great job
  • The freedom to build my life as I see fit
  • A country that recently made me abundantly proud
  • My health and the healthy of those I hold dear
  • And many many many other things....
I'm a happy girl!

*update: Even more thrilled now! One of my BFFs stopped by
with an awesome pair of shoes for my bday!!!!
