Sometimes, I wake up and it’s a beautiful happy day. Actually, most days are beautiful happy days, but I’m talking about a whole new caliber of happy. We’re talking “fitting into your high school jeans” happy. Joyful. Rejoicing. And grateful.

I’m having one of those days today. Why?

-I got a job! And I start by Feb 15th. In this economy, that’s nearly a miracle, so I can only give thanks to all the people who were cheering me on, and to those who included me in their prayers. It worked!

-I got carded yesterday. For us old chicks, getting carded is like standing next to a supermodel, and having your spouse tell you that YOU are more beautiful than the supermodel, and having him MEAN it.

-The very very late Christmas present that I’m making for my dearest cousin is almost finished, and I get to mail it out to her on Monday.

-Techno-Genius ( aka Hubby) cleaned the kitchen, including the entire oven, and under the oven, and is now fixing “bake” mode on it. It’s been wonky since Thanksgiving, so I am very thrilled to have my very own engineering wizard here (who helped design the controls, no less) fix it for me. And, when I say cleaned, I mean, CLEANED, to the degree that makes car detailing guys look like slobs.

-Super Pug got to play last night with the neighbors’ dog, and today with a dog at the horse barn- so he is tired, and a tired pug is a good pug.

The sun is shining, no kids are crying, and the chores are getting done without any parental interference….So, today is a happy day!

Have a good Saturday!
