Happies & Crappies

I've tried the paragraph thing but I hate to tell all of you, I am a list girl.  I have a Type A personality, am overly organized, & make agendas for cleaning the house.  So, this week's happies somehow outweigh the crappies and I am beyond excited for that! 

Happies

• I got to send the first "test letter" to our soldier.  Really I got to write him a silly letter about nothing important and now I wait until he Facebooks me that he received it.  Fingers crossed it takes less than 3 weeks because then my next job will be packing a box full of fun - and that is the part I look forward to! Baking, Dollar store shopping, and writing a cute note that he probably never reads. Oh, and toilet paper - because the shit the US Army provides is not so awesome. 
• Hubby is spending time with the boys on Saturday and I get to have a spa day! I have a gift certificate for Tuscany Sun & Spa and am so excited to spend some time just for me. Except none of my friends want to join me, is that a problem? 
• Tonight after a shitty & long day at work, I found Wilbur buds in the pantry.  That could counteract any bad day. 

Crappies

• I am convinced the people from *insert stupid bank name here* are enjoying losing money on the house we are interested in buying.  It's only been 55 days since we made our offer, no big deal. 
• I lost my Kindle charger. In my house, this is a serious problem. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Any picks for the Super Bowl?  I'll admit that while I understand football, I am a collegiate (not professional) fan.  So on Sunday, I'll stick to beer and snacks and probably chose the purple team because I might as well be 7 years old. 

Happies and Crappies

Excited to post more happies this week than I did last week - yay! For those of you new to the link-up, the goal is to focus on both the good and bad things from during the week. For me personally, this link-up combined with my Resolutions in Motion goal to get a handle on my work-life balance seems like a great way to start off 2013!

Happies for this week

• Kevin and I are at more than 80% of our goal for the Fight For Air Climb.  That means we have raised more than $800!!! HOLY CRAP.
• I got to have drinks with my Internet bff Kaela last night to celebrate her new job.  Added bonus, I got to meet her new man-friend (NOT BOYFRIEND :D)
• I am off this weekend and husband and I have absolutely nothing planned.  Well, since I originally wrote this yesterday we've added possibly helping a friend move, fundraising insanity, and dinner with a friend.  BUT - those are all things that we want to do, and only one of them involves taking a shower and getting dressed-up.  In our world, that is still nothing to do.

Crappy for this week

• Little brother deployed to Afghanistan this week.  Even all of my happies can't counteract this crappy.  I'm more than a little sad and missing him already and we're only 24 hours and 7 minutes without cell phone contact.  I have a feeling this could be a trying year for us, but fingers crossed he gets access to the interwebs soon and I can see/hear his smiling face!

Happies and Crappies for the Week

The name of this link-up cracks me up, but I'm thinking it is a great thing for me to join in on! Focusing on one good thing and one bad thing for the week, along with my Resolutions in Motion goal to get a general handle on my work-life balance seems like a great way to start off 2013!

Happy for this week - I have raised more than $500 for the Fight For Air Climb Kevin and I are doing in March.  I am proud of our friends and family for their contributions and proud of myself for maintaining relationships with such amazing people. I did a little happy dance and may have cried some happy tears each of the 16 times that my phone beeped to let me know we had another donation. I have the most supportive friends and family, and they all make me smile - laugh - and occasionally, drunk.

Crappy for this week - today (the 19th) is 4 months since we lost Mom.  I know there will always be good and bad days, but this week I feel as though every moment is a trying one.
