LOL! Yes, I am smiling because my laundry is finally done.
I am also smiling because Gary's story about how he scammed his neighbor into drying/folding his laundry (but left her quarters!) by leaving his laundry in the washer all day had me giggling well into the evening last night.
I'm smiling because I'm not as sick as I was the past two days. I'm also smiling because I'm trading Ohio Tennessee insults with a friend via text messaging and it's hilarious.
I am smiling today because I've officially reached my "dream weight" for my wedding....lighter than I have been since the sixth grade.
I am also smiling because I just confirmed travel arrangements with my friend who is flying from TAIWAN to be in our wedding, and his ticket is booked, so we definitely get to see him and I can't wait.
Finally, I'm smiling because we finally found a guitar player for our ceremony, and booked him. Which is a major wedding stressor that I no longer have to stress about!
I am smiling today because a friend I haven't seen since x-mas told me that I must have found the fountain of youth because I look so young and healthy! Best compliment ever...and we all know guys never notice anything.
I am smiling today because the new carpet is going in the family room as we speak.
I am because I got home from work early to "house sit" for the carpet, while Angie went to get fresh pesto pasta sauce from our Italian deli, take nephews pants to the dry cleaner and pick up a corsage, for the knucklehead to give to his girl, for the vice versa dance tomorrow night ~
I am smiling today because LIFE IS GOOD. I have 3 beautiful girls and a lovely hubby, and although every day is full because I also look after my 92 year old grandmother as well as my family, I am still here and we are a happy, laughing, caring family.
I am also smiling today because I am researching my family tree. I found one of my mothers cousins and he has written in an email "You don't know what a can of worms you are opening my dear girl."........His mother had her first child only 5 months after being married.....OH shame on her. LOL If it was in this day and age there would be no can of worms but being in the early 1930's it was.
I am smiling today because I just spent probably a whole day and a half worth of calories at one meal...but it was literally the best meal of my life. Had to celebrate that promotion....and MAN. It was amazing. It was worth EVERYTHING we spent...caloric or price wise.
Tomorrow I will go easy. But tonight was amazing. Utterly amazing. And I will say that I felt -stunning- in my dress. A fabulous date night and celebration.
