Domestic Happiness

Yesterday's happiness...

1. Doggie Diapers arrived for our leaky senior citizen lab. She does not share my happiness about them.

2. The new Bucknell calendar arrived with many beautiful pictures of campus.

3. I'm planning an activity calendar for what I plan to do with our 2 ish week vacation. It will be published when complete and any of our family and friends who care to join us are welcome. I may be alone for many of these planned activities, but it will help keep me from spending 2 weeks on the couch watching football and Jim Carey movies.

4. I think I have mastered a crocheted hat that does not look like human anatomy. Of course, it's not finished yet.

5. My laptop came back from "THE DEPOT" all repaired and good as new!

6. Something that didn't happen that was supposed to happen, finally happened even after I had accepted the fact that chances of it happening were slim to none.

7. #1 son is under the weather, so instead of pushing a day of school work, he napped, did some math, and I got many household chores done - including shower scrubbing and rug cleaning! woohoo!

8. The felt advent calendar with little plastic velcro elves (circa 1969) is up and updated - officially marking the start of the 2008 Christmas season.

9. The remaining four of us sat down together for dinner last night. Spaghetti. That's not an everyday thing anymore, so I'm always happy when the planets align, and it happens.

10. Speaking of dinner, I have also planned out 5 weeks worth of dinners that I plan to try sticking with sort of. Hopefully this will keep me from scrambling at the last minute, and giving in to Sonic or Taco Belle for lack of a better plan....

11. I didn't spend any money!! Go me!!

I fully expect today to have just as much domestic happiness. With a math test thrown in for good measure (yep, seniors, that means you...)
