It's the Little Things that Matter the Most!

Tuesday was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for me. It was one of those days where I couldn't decide if I wanted to start crying my eyes out or if I should just scream and punch through the wall. I decided against both, took a deep breath, and managed through. I hate days like that because I try to be a pretty optimistic person for the most part but sometimes it just all comes to a head and you can't do anything but be upset.

Today, however, has been a different day. Not necessarily better for any reason (believe me, I'm still bored out of my mind with my job not because of lack of work but just because of the nature of the beast), but it's just been that I've been able to appreciate it more (the day that is, not the work - go asbestos bill, go!). More because I am trying to concentrate on the little things in life that make me happy and get me by. So I thought I would reflect on some of my small accomplishments and little things that make me smile so one day soon when I'm having one of those days again, hopefully I can look back at this posting and relax. :) Enjoy and feel free to add your own!

* I mailed off my form and certified copy of my marriage certificate today so I'm at least one step closer in the process of changing my name! This is a big accomplishment after the trauma at the SS office the other day!

* I have officially set up all my utilities and movers for the new apartment so things are well on their way. I'm super exciting about Austin & I getting our first place together and can't wait to decorate it and get to use all our beautiful new things from the wedding!

* I have a wonderful loving husband that is there for me always even when he wants to "fix" things when he should just be listening! ;) We have such a good time together, and I can't wait to see all the fun times ahead!

* I am in good health and am happy to be alive and heading towards the holiday season because that means lots of fun, exciting things and presents and vacation!

* We are going to Epcot & Universal Studios over the holidays during our 10 day trip to Florida. Trying to work out the hotel arrangements now, but I'm sure we'll come up with something.

* We are going to see Polar Express 3-D at the Imax theater on Saturday afternoon and I'm SO excited! I've loved that book forever, and I think it will be the perfect thing to get me in the Christmas spirit.

* They have fixed my desk so it is at least useable! I know that seems silly but it's a big thing - we'll see how long until it falls apart again!

* I get to see my parents, my grandmother, and my cat in another 6 weeks!

* I will get my Christmas bonus for the year in about a month - yippee!

* I have a beautiful new car that I am at least making enough to afford the payments and insurance and gas for which is always a plus!

* I have this fun blog where I can write WHATEVER I want and no one can tell me I can't - they can just ignore it and not read it if they don't like it or it's boring or whatever! :)

That's about all the things I wanted to point out for now! Can't wait to pick up the Christmas tree on the Sunday after Thanksgiving once we're moved into the new place! Such a fun time of year! Try to remember the little things and smile! :)
