26 Feb 09

  1. I got to use my polka-dot umbrella on the way into work this morning.
  2. Free pizza lunch in appreciation for our work on this huge project.
  3. Justin and I went for a 2 mile run and made plans for the race in March.  It felt good to move.
  4. Writing an organizing post for my site.  Research and fun.
  5. Deciding what I should do about a roadblock I’ve been facing internally regarding my organizing business.

  1. I got a box of presents from my sister!
  2. My baby blue got a much needed oil change.  Everything went smoothly and she’s a happy, happy car.
  3. I got a much needed massage.  Using money I got from my parents for my birthday, I had a girl work on my back for an hour.  She said the same thing as my chiropractor:  I need to get some work done.
  4. After returning home after my massage, I soaked for a long time in a bath to soothe away all the aching from the massage.
  5. Delicious pizza for dinner!

  1. We went running.  It wasn’t fun during the run, but it felt good afterward.
  2. We cleaned the house really well in a short amount of time.  It looks great.
  3. Dress shirts were on sale at Dillard’s for 85% off!  Really great shirts and Justin is always in need of new dress shirts.
  4. I picked up a giraffe-patterned lunch-bag-perfect bag for cheap.
  5. We stopped for our favorites at the mall cafe court:  Gyros and Cold Stone ice cream.

  1. Church was lovely.  There was a very touching good bye to the youth pastor.  I almost started to cry.
  2. Yea.  My birth control is 100% effective to date.
  3. I have a very attentative husband who takes care of me when I’m not feeling well, bringing me food, bringing me hot packs, putting on my socks, checking in on me often.  Plus, hangs up a towel rack in the bathroom.
  4. I pulled my papasan chair in front of my computer and nested in while watching NCIS–lots of blankets and pillows and things to munch on.
  5. Chocolate bars.  Leftover pizza.  Pretzels dipped in chocolate frosting.  And diet cherry 7-Up.

25 Feb 09

  1. I just scheduled an oil change for my car and a massage for myself. I cannot wait until Friday.
  2. I’m wearing my new scarf today. I’m so pretty!
  3. I went running wearing my new socks, new shoes, and new music box. It felt *so good* even though I only went a mile. And at the end, Justin showed up and we went walking a couple times around together.
  4. Good times with friends online.
  5. The bank caught a fraudlent claim before any money went missing and shut down the credit card so it won’t happen again. They’re sending me a new card.

  1. I’ve been approved to take Lean Specialist training.  If I’m going to work in corporate situations, I think I’m starting to get an idea of which direction I would like to go.
  2. Escape Pod.  Fantasticness.
  3. Thinking of posts that I could write about organizing.
  4. Yoga was lovely.  Very relaxing while also being challenging.
  5. While waiting for NCIS to buffer, I started formatting pictures to put up in a gallery on my site.  Neighborhood pictures – coming soon.

  1. Justin woke me up when my alarm didn’t ring.
  2. And then he made my lunch so I could just get ready, grab it, and run.
  3. And then he stopped at the store on the way home so we could have nachos for dinner.
  4. And we snuggled up together watching Bones and eating delicious nachos.
  5. While getting ready for bed, I found a check from my mom in the socks she gave me for my birthday.
