Happy List for 10/5 - 10/11

You may have guessed that I forgot to e-mail my Happy List to myself before I left work on Friday. What you may not have guessed is that I had a four day weekend, so this week's Happy List is incredibly late! But here it is. And to punch it up for you, I added some pictures of the campus where I work, all dressed up in fall colors. I was walking across campus this morning, camera in my hand, and just had to keep stopping and taking pictures. Pretty, right? I thought so.

Anyway, on to the list.

Sunday: The Dolphins won again! Which makes J happy, which makes me happy. Also, we got Chinese food for dinner! I love that, and we don't get it often, so it's a special treat when we do. I also played the Sims some, and finished Schuyler's Monster, which was very good. I love Sundays.

Monday: I won a gift certificate for dinner for two at a steakhouse! I paid a dollar to enter this raffle, mostly because I wanted change for a five, and it totally paid off! And I never win anything, so this was a very nice surprise. Also, that evening J and I laid in bed and watched the Peanuts Halloween special, which I love. Poor Linus never gets to see The Great Pumpkin, but he still keeps his faith!

Tuesday: Um. Tuesday was apparently a not great day. I couldn't think of any happy things. :(

Wednesday: My freezer got fixed! Also J brought me the most beautiful roses. I love roses so much, and have enjoyed looking at them the whole week since.

Thursday: Hearing (and chair dancing to) You Don't Mess Around with Jim by Jim Croce. Such a fun song! Wandering around the house and yard, taking pictures of the animals for my first critter picture post. It was a beautiful day, and a fun thing to do. And they didn't mind being stalked. :)

Friday: Finding out that my gift certificate (see Monday's Happy Things) is going to be delivered next week. Woo! Also, the end of the work day brought the beginning of my four day weekend!

Saturday: I had a very productive day, with just the right mix of getting things done around the house and having time to do fun things. I made doughnuts for the first time! I played the Sims, I read, I knitted, I did housework, I took the recycling to the dump. It was a nice day.

Sunday: I got to spend the morning with J, even though I didn't think I was going to get to see him at all (his work schedule changed). At one point that morning I got on the floor to take a picture of Bernie, and J came over and started wrestling with me, and I was laughing so hard I was crying AND I couldn't breathe. It was amazingly fun. He's a fun guy to have around, and I am very lucky to have laughs like that, when not too long ago I'd go a whole weekend without even seeing another person. I am grateful for him every day of our lives together.

Edit: Uh, I accidentally posted 8 days of happy things. I don't want to remove the last Sunday entry now, so have a bonus day of happy things, on me! :) Next week you'll only get six, so it'll all balance out.
