List of Happy

Because my random things you didn't know about me were all kinda grouchy (Esh! What a week!), I thought I would balance it out with a little happy today.

*There is a guy who works at the grocery store we frequent who is just awesome. He gives out suckers to the little kids while he stocks, but I always declined one for Sammy. He completely remembers this and us every time and personally goes and gets Sammy a balloon instead. Every time. But he always asks me if it's ok, because he doesn't want to overstep. He is always so nice and talks to Sammy and is just genuinely a good guy. I'm grateful he enjoys his job so much.

*I'm thrilled by the emails I received last week from several people I didn't even know, who read my blog, asking me TO write about money. I think in this economic climate we all have things to learn from each other to make us all more self sufficient and I was heart warmed by the support. Still trying to find the words, but the encouragement was lovely.

*I bought this this weekend and I CANNOT wait to use it. I've had several notebook ideas floating in my head (as well as a PERFECT planner!) and, even though I have successfully battled every crafty thing until now, I'm fully embracing this. Custom notebooks. EEEEEEEE!

*Nathan Fillion is on the cover of my new Entertainment Weekly. Talk about happy mail...And I can't help but wonder if all the good press he's getting will spur a Two Guys on DVD release? Cause we all know how very wanted that is...

*We just bought a share in a local fruit CSA for this summer. From what I understand, there will be a LOT of fruit this summer. Time to learn how to can peaches and apples...

*Even though I have yet to smell "the smell" and it's bitterly cold right now, I can sense spring. The smell is coming...and I know it's coming sooner this year than last. I KNOW it. Driving home from shopping down south on Friday, I saw the hills turning green. Bright, spring green. Heaven.

*Winco. My little town NEEDS one. It's one of those memories that I try to tell myself is not NEARLY as good as I remember, it's just that it's attached to Portland, so THAT is where the love is coming from. Nope. There is a Winco about 30 minutes from us and we went last Friday. Two hours in a glorious warehouse-y grocery store and Isaac and I were both in heaven. Just as good as I remember and my town NEEDS one. Until then? 40 minutes isn't brutal for twice a month shopping. Right?

*The doctor showed Sammy how to build an airplane with tongue depressors. And then made sure I could replicate it. You hear such horror stories about Instacares, it's nice to have one with decent doctors.
