I'm happy because today was a nice sunny day and it was a free-day at the Denver Zoo.

I'm happy because I got to use my birthday money to buy nice shoes so my feet won't hurt after a day at work.

I'm happy because while I'm undergoing a "down" half of the moodswing, and I was mad because my medications are supposed to be doing something about it, I realized that even if I'm having tension related panic dreams, everything is much less dramatic than it used to be. Yay!

I'm happy because we finally forced the marketing director to take his turn on tech support. the punk
Yeah, it may sound weird that a director of marketing should do tech support, but the previous one did, and all the sales reps do. And the owner of the business even takes his turn. So it was making me quite grumpy that the marketing director was getting out of the schedule every month.

I'm happy because the Denver Museum of Nature & Science was free today. The Health exhibit told me that I'm overweight (BMI=25.00) and have too much stress in my life but because I didn't have to pay for this information, I'm happy. Plus, the kids had fun.

I'm happy because I'm sitting in my sleeping bag watching "Grosse Pointe Blank" and drinking sangria-flavored soda. Good times.

I think I'm happy that everytime I've been into Walmart in the last month, people have been extremely nice to me. They ask me how I'm doing, give approval of my purchases, give me compliments, and help me with anything I seem to need. I've gotten this from both employees and other customers. It's kind of nice and also kind of creepy.

I also tend to only shop at Walmart in the very early hours of the morning when few people are in the store.

Walmart is just trying to keep you from seeing their evil side. Beware.

I bought a vaccuum for $30 at Walmart out of desperation--I didn't really expect it to work.

But it sucks!   ;) ;D  I now have clean floors!  Go me!

My monitor also stopped fritzing out.  And I have a table and chairs.  (My roommate just moved out, taking all her furniture and decorations (thank goodness) with her.)  And I totally redecorated.  No more cutsie Americana crap for me!  My apartment looks beautiful!  I'm so HAPPY!



I am now officially disgusted with myself for using that many exclamation points in one post.  Ug.

So that begs the question... Why is this in the Happy Things thread?

I'm happy because last night was the first night that Brenna not only slept through the night, but she slept in her crib the whole time! ;D
