<p>Happy Thing: I just went for a walk in a t-shirt. On Monday, we had 5" of snow and school was cancelled.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: While I was walking in my t-shirt, I was listening to a recording of my S’s recital.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: While I was walking in my t-shirt, listening to my S on my Ipod, a little boy I’ve never seen before ran down his driveway calling to me. I stopped and removed my ipod, and he said he just got a brand new toy from a McDonald’s Happy Meal! Something about Spiderman.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: I’ve been working out at the gym three times a week for for three and a half years now. I’ve lost 10 pounds and have never felt or looked better.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: I think we nipped the fleas in the bud. (Dogs played with Dead Squirrel.) Did lots of bombing and spraying and whatnot, and they seem to be gone. Holding my breath.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: S2 comes home tomorrow from school.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: I love the iPod Nano my sons gave me for Christmas.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: My husband’s flight gets in at 11:15 PM tonight, and I haven’t seen him since Valentine’s Day. Being long-distance newlyweds is rough, but we’re hangin’ in there, and I’m really looking forward to my airport hug. =)</p>
<p>PS- Binx, that is too cute. I wish I could still get that worked up about a Happy Meal toy!</p>
<p>Happy Thing: I am in the final round of interviews for a new job, and I really just might get it. </p>
<p>Happy Thing: I am not looking for the job because I have lost my current job; just because it is a better opportunity. So, I may just have two jobs for a little while, until I decide which one to take. I should know in a few days.</p>
<p>Happy Thing: I just placed an online order from Joe’s Stone Crab to be delivered on my 20th wedding anniversary. Happy about the 20 years and the stone crabs.</p>
<p>Happy thing: Year 1: A group of parents and students started a new High School Swim team which the town would not sponsor. They rented a pool at a college in the area and paid for it through fundraisers which were a whole lot of hard work.</p>
<p>Happy thing: Year 2: The town agreed to sponsor the team going forward. A neighboring town saw what our kids did and began their own team renting the same pool.</p>
<p>Happy thing: Year 3: The team (very small team) won their first meet</p>
<p>Happy Thing: Year 4 (This year): My daughter made captain and leaves the team knowing she was one of the founding members and has learned that if you want something bad enough you have to work really hard for it.</p>
<p>I just realized the pinched nerve in my neck is almost all better. I haven’t complained about it in at least a week…it just gradually went away, after months of being a stiff-neck nuisance. :)</p>
<p>Happy thing: after class today one of my students told me “I just love learning about ******”<br>
Wow, what great motivation to have good lessons for next week!</p>
<p>Happy thing#1: the birds singing as I rolled out of bed.
Happy thing#2: DD school had a dance marathon and raised more than $900k for local charities!
Happy thing#3: DH loves me and I love him!!!</p>
<p>Happy thing: after visit to free-ride college, son loves it, it’s beautiful and friendly. While he might not go there, I can feels some relief for a few weeks that at least he has a good option that won’t bankrupt the family finances & where he’d be happy. :-)</p>
<p>Happy thing: on return home from college tour, pilot opened the door for us as plane was just about to take off, allowing us to get onboard (& avoid sleeping in O’Hare all night!). Yay! Plus, we got upgraded seats!</p>
<p>Happy Thing: DD (who is 15 yo) telling her friend she can’t come over on Saturday b/c it was my BDay and she wanted to spend the day with me. (Sigh . . . )</p>
<p>Happy Thing: DS and DD making dinner for me (from scratch!) on my BDay. </p>
<p>Son is home from college & HS son starts late every morning this week because of graduation tests for the other grades & a delayed schedule for Jrs & Srs! We all get to sleep in!</p>
<p>Happy Thing: Thought my cell phone was a goner when I left this morning. Came back this afternoon and it has miraculously started working again…weird but good.</p>
<p>Happy Thing part 2: I got a text fr. S1 on my newly revived cell phone. He has been accepted into a program that he really wanted for after Grad. in May.</p>
<p>I have finished both the FAFSA and Profile. Hurray! Just waiting for the IDOC request to make its appearance.</p>
<p>It is 51 degrees and sunny, after being 16 degrees the other morning.</p>
<p>We switched cell phone companies and now I can actually reach S by cell! Not that I will do so unless really necessary, as emails work fine for normal stuff. Previously he had called us from the phone in his room, thankfully on a regular basis. But I didn’t like that our previous cell carrier didn’t work on his campus.</p>
