This is a great idea!

Today was a great day because:

1) My daughter who is struggling in school with grades got her report card today and it was all A's & B's

2) My husband called this morning from work and asked me out to lunch - I said yes!

3) My Mother invited my 5-year-old over so they could decorate my Mom's Christmas tree together - just the two of them.

4) I ordered my photo Christmas cards on-line while still in my P.J's

5) I received a heart-felt thank-you from a friend.

6) I received an invitation to a party for New Years Eve.

7) I went to a beautiful Holiday House Warming for a friend who moved into a new home.

8) My husband is having a great IBS day!

9) I like my outfit that I am wearing - it fits!

10) My kids were all happy when they came home from school - it's Friday!

I loved reading what makes everyone happy. I think we all needed to be reminded of postive great things in our lives!

* I forgot to mention one thing. I made these signs for a lady at work and when I brought them to her, she gave me a Christmas mug filled with candy canes as a thank you. Even though it's my job. I was touched. What a sweet gesture.

I want to play too!! I think it would be a good thing for me to focus on all the positive stuff as I am a wee bit stressed at the moment!!

1. Even though I got all mixed up with school, and chucked out of all my courses , I managed to get them back today AND got accepted into a History course with an _awesome_ teacher that I have been on a waiting list for - woo hoo.

2. I set up a laptop my mom used to use in the basement here which means I don't have to buy a new computer right now (yay) AND it has wireless thingie so we don't have to set up a new internet line, which will save us some money!

3. I made 72 phylo pasty cups for my mom and it was actually really easy and took hardly no time at all.

4. My brother-in-law has taken Adrian out for drinks tonight which is good because he has someone else to go out with and he was really happy AND because it means I get some time to play on the boards!!

5. We have finally set up all the stuff we got from my Uncle in the basement and have done a lot of vacuuming so last night was the first night that Adrian hasn't suffered with wheeziness and stuff, which is EXCELLENT because he thought his asthma was coming back (he had it when he was a kid) which would have really caused him problems with getting a police job.

6. My neice wants Mary Poppins on DVD, which is great for me because it's not an expensive present so I can afford to get her what she wants.

7. Adrian LOVES wrapping presents (I am not a big fan) and has done all our wrapping so far!!

8. I have been able to talk to my sister and all my friends... without paying long distance!!

9. I spent a long time playing with my dogs today when I was feeling down and ended up feeling 100 x better.

10. I made Fiesta Turkey Meatballs from the Receipe Exchange last night so that tomorrow, when my mom has a whole bunch of people over for appetizers, there will be something I can eat!!

Oh! And something good about this WEEK is I found a store that has _3_ kinds of soy ice cream, sorbet with no milk ingredients (soooo yummy), "Silk" chocolate soy milk (yummy), soy sour cream and yogurt and tons of cheese, which I haven't tried because they all had casein in them. But they also apparently have Luna bars, but were out of stock, so I will check again soon!

Hope you all have great weekends!
Luv Steph

1. A good night's sleep with no kooky night sweats

2. Fresh-baked bread to go with my morning tea

3. Emails from mom and dad... christmas presents are on their way! *cue my excited inner 3-year-old*

4. The D attack I had this morning passed quickly!

5. The end is in sight for the last christmas present I'm making... halleluia!!!

6. A sweet message on the answering machine from RachelT (sorry I missed your call, sweetie!)

7. Chocolate graham crackers

8. Kitty snuggles on a cold morning

9. Winter sports on TV (Adam and I don't watch much TV, but we like to watch things like luge and dissect how complicated and physical such a seemingly simple sport really is... we're weird, I think. LOL!)

10. Not one, but TWO pots of stew on the stove - chicken for me, beef-apple for Adam - and the heavenly smell that's filling the house from them.

1: It's Sunday, my Day of Rest
2: There are decent movies on the cable telly, for a change!

4: I've done all my Christmas shopping and all my prezzies are wrapped and under the tree
5: I got my secondment! I get a 6 week + holiday break from everybody!
6: This means that work must be impressed with me, despite my numerous sick days
7: I got to hang out with my best friend last night. He's recently acquired a girlfriend, so I haven't seen as much of him.
8: The Pohutukawa trees have started to flower, which means summer is properly here. They call them the "NZ Christmas Tree" with thier masses of red flowers. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them, if it's fine weather.
9: I have a brand-new nail file and buffer, so I'll have pretty nails tomorrow
10: I'm about to have a nice cup of peppermint tea and a sit-down.
