Note to self

I'm pretty happy that I only have two days of work this week, and today was a nice (paid) day off. I got a "happy hour" moolatte from Dairy Queen (special deal extended for me because I have connections ;) ) and a cute purple purse from Kohl's, and now I'm wasting time before I go for the usual Monday (or Wednesday) evening drinks with Alison.

I'm not going to get into the rest of this weekend, but it certainly had it's share of ups and downs. In the end, I guess I broke even. My moods have sort of been up and down like that lately, too, but I think it has more to do with the fact that I sort of messed with my hormones. Regardless, some things would have been upsetting without that kind of interference.

At the same time, it is possible that I momentarily lost sight of the important things in life. The important things are really those subtle day-to-day things that make me happy, after all. I tend to be pretty tuned into those kind of things, usually, and I have never been that impressed by flashy cars or any of that; however, it's nice to get a little extra sometimes, especially when it is unprompted. I don't ask for much. At the end of the day, I suppose it comes down to acknowledging and appreciating the little things all year long, though, and sometimes those things are taken for granted. I just have to go back to last year for half a second to remind myself that those little things make it all worthwhile. Time for my second happy hour of the day! :)
