this morning...

i am feeling a bit better but i stayed up way too late so i am slightly groggy. i was just thinking about how oprah in the past has promoted doing a gratitude journal so i decided to make a list of "good things" from this week.

1. yesterday i went to the goodwill downton and in case you didn't know this goodwill's here in okc often have target stuff - new with tags still attached. anyway, i bought some ridiculously cheap halloween stuff and new pair of jeans that fit wonderfully. and to highlight the beauty of these jeans they cost me a total of $3.99 and are marked a size 6. i haven't been a size 6 since the 6th grade and i'm pretty sure i only stayed there for 2 weeks.

2. i just had a cake donut from brown's. oh my - how i love browns. i ate it and i will count the points and i will move on. and trust me it was worth it.

3. last night i walked 3 miles.

4. i received a postcard in the mail from my french boyfriend (that's e's name for him). a frenchman named matthieu who i met in the houston airport last fall, who happened to be coming to okc to work/intern for 3 months. he recently graduated from university with a degree in engineering.

5. i received an invitation to a party that e+a is having in a few weeks - it will be fabulous i'm sure.

6. my mother is healing up nicely.

7. on sunday i went to the zoo with my sister and wonderful nephew. i heart the zoo.

8. last night i talked to e on the phone for a good hour and had great conversation. trust me, it's hard to have good conversation when you are in different time zones and have very different days. it can be very taxing.

9. i bought tickets to see the rockettes christmas show in nyc aka radio city christmas spectacular and found a coupon code for great seats for a cheap price. woo-hoo.

so there - maybe i just need to remember the things that make me happy and not the things that stress me out. which by the way, i almost start composing a list of stress things in my head but i'm trying to refrain.
