the good

1. It’s Friday. This week has seemed very long for some reason.

2. I get to hang out with my friend Beth tonight. It’s been a long time since we’ve done something and I’m looking forward to catching up with her.

3. Tomorrow night some friends are coming into town. We’re going to celebrate Ashley’s birthday. I love hanging out them, we all have fun and get along so well (I guess that’s why we’re friends?!)

4. The last 3 days I’ve hit my goal of 64 oz of water.

5. we got a nice dump of snow and you all know how much I love snow!

6. got my nails done last night. I picked a purple. After having 2 coats the purple is so dark it looks almost black. it’s kinda cool though

the bad

1. it’s negative digits weather wise out there.

2. Ryan has to work tomorrow which means I won’t see him til tomorrow night

3. I’m really tired today

4. next week is going to be pretty busy at work

5. can’t think of a #5

what’s your good and bad?

Ahhh, feels good to be back to normal. I still don’t feel at home here but I suppose home is where you make it.

the good

1. that while we still have some missing favorites (southerncharm anyone?) we have managed to find a majority of our friends and favorites from JournalSpace.

2. the weather*person* is insisting that we’ll be receiving 6 inches or more of snow this weekend. Clearly I am ecstatic over this.

3. Today is my brother-in-law Seths’ birthday. He informed this morning that getting older means drinking Metamucil so he was having that with his breakfast. I’m sure that’s what Sally gave him for his morning present - Metamucil all wrapped up.

4. For Christmas I bought Ryan a Craftsman tool chest/cabinet. It’s pretty nifty and I knew he’d be surprised! plus I did NOT pay this price for it. I got a much better deal. However, I was told it would be in the Tuesday before Christmas and here it is January 9th and just now in.
For Christmas I wrapped up a picture of it. He was so excited that he went to the garage and spent half a day rearranging and cleaning the garage to make room for it.
I feel bad that his present wasn’t in. The other day he was all in “I’m so over it…” mode but I said “hey look at this way, it’s like you get 2 Christmas’s” He’s so excited now that it’s here that he’s trying to get off work early today so he can run home and get it. Ok that makes him sound stupid but he’s really happy that it’s finally here.

5. This week has been the first week of my “diet” (it’s not a diet per se) and so far I’ve done really well. I’ve stayed away from the candy drawer (which my sister can attest to as being a very large drawer full of candy. In fact so far the only time I faltered was last night, we had wings, fries and I had a beer (michalobe ultra though) BUT I only ate 5 or 6 wings a 1/4 of my fries so that’s better than normal.

the bad

1. that there’s a possibility the weather*person* may be wrong. I want snow, lots of snow.

2. I didn’t get to have lunch with my mom today

3. my lips are chapped. I seriously think there’s something in chapstick that doesn’t totally clear up chapped lips so that you become dependent on the stuff. How else would they make money?

4. Some really good friend’s of my sister and brother-in-law, their little 2 year old daughter has cancer. This is just a really sad thing. She’s going through chemo right now and the cancer is just in her arm, but keep them in your prayers.

5. I’ve come to realize I get on the defensive really easy and I need to start counting to at least a 100.

And just like old times: what’s your good and bad?
