It's Friday. And it's a better Friday than most Fridays because it's a SNOW DAY FRIDAY! So let's link up with my friend Amanda to share what made us happy this week.
- I ordered Wendy's for supper one day this week. I was so hungry and no matter what I ate, I just couldn't feel full. This made it all better!
I should get paid for this kind of advertisement...
- I received a textbook I had ordered used online. When I got the box, there was a little message written on it. It made me happy. Love the little things.
Isn't that just too cute?
- Spent Wednesday at the Science Center in town. We had so much fun checking out the exhibits and the staff was super friendly. Here is my attempt at taking a picture of our shadows on their "Shadow Wall".
I'm a pretty talented photographer, I know.
- Wednesday was also my mommy's birthday! Yay! I got to Skype with her and both my aunts at once. It was lots of fun. Like a mini family reunion.
- After my interview Wednesday, I made a delicious big breakfast. It was the best!
All the food groups! Go me!
- Thursday night, I did a presentation with my friends for one of our classes. That marked our being done two thirds of that class. Not even halfway through this term and we're finishing stuff up. To celebrate, we went for warm, cozy, happy beverages at Second Cup. I love these girls! Don't know how I'd get through it without them.

- Woke up this morning and felt kind of lazy. Started doing homework and found out my gym class was cancelled. Did a mini victory dance.
- My friend found this video. Could there really be a sequel? It's almost too good to be true!
- After the yucky weather with rain and everything melting, it is snowing a lot today. I am so excited to have snow again. The world looks so pretty! It's like it is dressing up just for me.
Ain't it purdy?
I hope all of you enjoyed your week as much as I did. And I love hearing about you and what makes you happy. In fact, your messages make me happy! So feel free to comment!
Yay! It's Friday. My last Friday as a relatively free person. It's back to the cave (a.k.a. my room) once classes start on Monday. But let's link up to Amanda again and talk about the wonderful things we have encountered this past week.
- Playing guitar. My daddy gave me one of his guitars for Christmas so I learned two new songs. It was so much fun to get back into the musical routine. And the guitar means so much more than a new one because it's one that my dad enjoyed for years.
Ain't it purdy? It sounds awesome too! You should see the back of it too. The pattern on the wood on the back is pretty much perfectly symmetrical.
- I got to sit at the laundromat with my aunt for a couple hours and just talk and enjoy time together. I'm going to miss her now that I'm not around for a couple months.
- Seeing cute pictures with funny little details. For example, this picture of us walking in a park.
Notice how our feet are pretty much exactly in the same position? Awwww!
- Meeting new people: you never know what to expect and sometimes, you're lucky and you get a pleasant surprise!
- I got a card from my friend in Alberta with pictures from her wedding. It made me very happy. So many wonderful memories.
It was such a fantastic night! She was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. Ever!
- Starbucks with Amanda! Yay! I missed her. And everyone from my program. So moving back to my city of friends was a good thing.
- Goofy moments during "Family Supper/Movie Night": We had one pair of kid's 3D glasses so we wanted to see if I could wear them under my normal glasses because they can't fit on top. This is what resulted:
I think they look super classy! Much more so than the normal way of wearing these fabulous 3D glasses.
- Meeting my best friend's girlfriend for the first time. This guy deserves all the best things in the world. And he has definitely found someone who is wonderful for him. So maybe he found the best person in the world. I am so happy for him!
- Went to see the Muppets Movie (with above friend and girlfriend). All my students told me how much they liked it. And they had good reason to. It was so cute! I loved the music in it. I miss the Muppets.
- Bought a new calendar. And it's a Happy Calendar! I am all about trying to see the positive in situations and be the happiest person that I can be. Sometimes it can be hard work, but it's definitely worth it.
I should probably read this book as well... Actually, I should probably get a start on my copy of The Book of Awesome as well...
- I got to see my posters again. They are the most random pair of posters but I love them and they make me smile. So there!
Adorable elephants and Doctor Who! Who could ask for anything more? Well, poster-wise, at least.
- I put in a new scent in myBerger Lamp and it smells delicious. I'm happy to have it back in my life.
My mom always used Ocean Breeze which I loved. But I felt like something fruity when I bought mine so I tried Pear which smelled delicious. This time I got Cranberry which is absolutely fantastic as well.
Those are just a few of the things that made me happy. Feel free to comment or link up to share what made you happy this week. Hope the next week is filled with wonderful, joyous things!
So a new year has arrived! Now is the time when most people start creating resolutions for themselves - usually some harsh, self-critical goal that is near impossible to achieve, especially with the means planned to achieve it. So usually, I don't do New Year Resolutions. Or so I say.
But then I realized that I kind of do have a New Year Resolution and it is mostly the same every year: balance. I can't say I've achieved it really but maybe this is what we should all reach for. The best goals for us might not be those that are extreme (e.g. never eat this specific food we love so we can lose fifty pounds in two months or never to buy another pair of shoes so that we don't spend money).
Here is what I hope to keep striving for throughout this year and all those to come. I want to create balance in my life. I want to try to spend a little less money and save a little more. I want to try to exercise a little more and sit idly a little bit less. I want to try to eat a little bit healthier and eat a little bit less junk food. I want to spend a little bit less time on work, and a little more time enjoying life, my family, and friends.
I hope all of you can find balance, happiness, and love throughout this new wonderful year. All the best!
