Happy Things

So there are not multiple happy things today, just one happy little story. I didn't do anything at all today. And it was really hard for me to accept, but in the end the day turned out really nice. I just stayed in and got some really wonderful quality time in with my family. I played baseball with my little brother, I helped my mom out and did a bunch of favors for her, I cleaned my grandmas car so that I can start driving it. I didn't get anything major checked off my to-do list, but I suppose thats okay because I got to spend time with my family and they are seriously so incredible. I always forget this but I am always reminded; friend and boyfriends are incredibly flakey, but my family has literally been there for me whenever I have needed them. I love them so much for that. I was never really a family person, but recently I have realized how incredibly important and beautiful these folks are. And that is indeed quite a happy thing.

Back into the swing of things (Happy Things)

I could really use a good reminder of some happy things, so good thing that its Wednesday! I skipped out on a few weeks my happy things posts, but I am back to it now, so here it goes!

1. This weekend I am going to be volunteering with my lovely friends from Habitat for Humanity. We are going to be running a table at the Bamboozle Festival. That means, not only will I be hanging out with lovely people, I'll be around live music! 

2. I have been going to Brooklyn a lot recently, which is always nice. I love that place.

3. This beautiful young lady, my best friend Michelle (who blogs over here) is coming home soon! Can't wait to see her!

4. I tried this chocolate on Monday. Oh my goodness; it is absolutely delicious!

5. Lets be real, how can you not get happy when you see a bunny with its tongue sticking out?!

Any other happy things I should know about to make my week a little better? 

Happy Things

I decided that Happy Things are going to become a Wednesday tradition on this blog of mine. Wednesdays are just the hardest days to get through; I am always so stressed and burnt out on Wednesday, and I really need some happy things to get me through these tough days. So, here it goes!

1. A few years ago I signed up for this pen pal program called a Brown Paper Package. I got a penpal from Canada named Christine, and I haven't heard from her since August (mostly because I never wrote back to her last letter!) But I finally responded, and I am sending it out today. I am so excited!

2. I got 11 pages of my research paper done today and yesterday!

3. Tomorrow is Ariel's birthday, and we are going to eat yummy (non dinning hall) food and yummy cake!

4. I ran Monday AND Tuesday, and I did a video workout yesterday. I hope this will help me get back into the swing of things.

5. 

One day (hopefully soon), I will be the proud owner of one of these lovely bikes! And I can ride it to the Farmers Market and to the Library and to the Thrift Store and to the Circle in Rutherford.

6. I only have to worry and stress about school for TWENTY TWO more days, and then I am a free birdie!

Happy Things

Just some things worth smiling about:

1. I am so excited to go to this festive! 3 days, a hotel, good music and good friends!

2. I am dyyyyying to see this beautiful man live, and now I have a chance!

3. these videos are just so hilarious! I haven't gotten a chance to watch this one, but I will as soon as I get back to my dorm room.

4. Its almoost Thursday, which means my classes are almost over, and I have so many exciting plans for this weekend.

5. I am going to get to see Stan the LX bus driver tonight at 8:30 as long as I finish my Anthropology paper before then. And he is just a lovely man!
