Today...

What a great day. After the funk I've been in, it was nice to have a great day. 1) I went to lunch with my friend. We have a lot in common, and it is nice to speak to an intelligent adult sometimes. It was a blast, and she is super funny. 2) I had asked a couple of colleagues at other organizations if they could give us some printing paper. Apparently our agency is poor or mismanaging their money (I know, hard to believe in the federal gov't....). Anyway, my friend brought me one measley ream of paper at lunch. It was a sweet thought and rather comical. I came back from my great lunch to see a whole BOX of paper sitting on my chair. I guess it's nice to have a great working relationship with people. 3) At that moment. I looked on my desk and noticed one of the most BEAUTIFUL bouquets of flowers that I have ever seen. So very simple, which made it perfect. It was a pumpkin jar with the lid titled to the side, and it had 9 roses - orange and creme - in it. I looked at the card, and my husband said he just wanted to brighten my day. It was perfect timing! 4) Came home and my mom, bar, and I went out for a bit. We went to Mcd's and had some dinner. Bar discovered ketchup. Then, we headed to a local play center where he had a great time. We stayed there quite a while until it was evidenced that we were all tired, so we came home. 5) A couple of neighbors came by to chat - I even made myself be pleasant to them and hold a conversation. One told me that I looked great and really thin. I really hadn't noticed, but I guess I have lost some weight - told her it's a new diet called stress. :) 6) I got a box from my sis tonight - bunch of clothes for bar. It's nice to have a nephew 4 months older than my son, especially one with rich relatives. :) She also sent 2 purses, a dress, and two shirts to me. She said she has more to send. Oh, and there was also face and body wash. I love getting presents! 7) Then, after playing dress up with the dog, the baby went to bed easy. 8) I capped off the night with a conversation with my wonderful husband. Now, I am going to sleep.
