It's not all bad
Well since yesterday I was cranky, I though I'd share some happier news today. I was down 3.5 pounds at my weigh in today! :) That's the most I've lost all month. I am now officially down 50.5 pounds.
And my mom did the nicest thing today. I had a huge pile of mail to go out today, and when I went to grab it - it was gone. First I thought that I dreamed getting everything ready the night before, but I called her and she said she took care of it for me. Saved me a trip to the post office!
Yesterday was another book sale at work. We save all the free stuff we get like books, cds, etc. and then have a sale and the money goes to charity. I picked up James Frey's My Friend Leonard, a book by Julia Alvarez (can't remember the title but I loved her book In The Time of Butterflies), Morely and Me for my sister (it's a book about a family and their dog) and some books for her classroom. All for about $30.
I also got a nice note from our editor in chief and a little "reward" for helping out last Friday when there were some crazy computer problems. I got a nice $25 visa gc.
And my dear friend Amy K said the sweetest things about her CT in a thread at DST. She's retiring from designing and today's the last day to grab her stuff at crazy low prices at Scrapdish. I just love this gal. I'm sad that I won't have any new kits from her to play with, but I know I'll also be happy to see lots of layouts from her as she plans to do more scrapping! :)
So even though I still feel kinda blah, there are some things to be happy about. And thanks to all of you for sending good vibes my way!
