Best thing that happened to me today was hearing how exciting my daughter was today about first day of soccer practice. Only eight 6th graders made the middle school team. I am so happy for her because she wanted it so much and worked hard for it.
Great thread, BTW. I always grill--err--inquire about the kids' days at the supper table.
The best thing that happened to me was the sun shining all day long at work(I work outside a lot).
Oh that and I also SAW THE OLYMPIC TORCH pass within twenty feet of me.....maybe the olympic flame wins that one haha!
i got to hang out with many members of my extended step-family.
neither sides of my biological family are particularly close/functional, so be able to spend time like that with multiple generations is very special to me.
also...i made some killer white russians.
(i'm sure that had NOTHING to do with how pleasant this visit was, haha)
I love this thread! The best thing that happened today is I took my son to the DMV on his 16th birthday and he passed his learners permit exam! We had the whole family togther for his birthday dinner - that was awesome too!
I am going to cover yesterday too - hey! It's early yet!
Yesterday - I made DH read his birthday card aloud. It was a cute little "once upon a time" card with a few pages. He pulled out the voices and everyone had a great laugh, but it was a little sappy too.
Today - so far I have a couple of pattern ideas floating in my head, and when I saw the fabric store flyer with my morning paper, I had one of those "WOW" ideas.
We do this more on vacation in our family, but I think I may pull this one out over dinner too. Thanks for getting this ball rolling Gibson!
Well, since it's early today I'll do yesterday. I had a few good things happen.
I went to a work lunch with some of the players and staff from the carolina hurricanes. They did some raffles at the end of the lunch and I won one - a wine basket. The winning part was great, but since I'm 32 weeks pregnant, not so much on the wine part. But, when I got back to work I opened up the basket and found a $50 restaurant gift certificate under the wine, so that was very cool.
The other one was DH called me on his way home from being out of town to see if I wanted to meet him for dinner out. I love it when I don't have to think about dinner!
Oh, that reminds me. Today's bright spot will likely be that I have leftover Olive Garden with breadsticks for lunch!
This is from the other day, but I am still smiling about it. I had to do some shopping. Around here you must drive 40 mile to do any real shopping. Every place I went everyone was extremely nice. I went quite a few places too. It was so nice to see everyone that waited on me be in such a good mood. It is infectious.
