84% on a paper that I wrote with a classmate. We worked well together, I think.

My presentations today went well.

The new heels I wore today did not make me wince and limp. Yay!

Getting home a whole hour before I expected to be home. Huzzah for early jamma time!

A truly ridiculous number of little tiny magnets – and the fact that I know Coffee is going to get really excited about playing with them. :)

Today is a day of Good Food, apparently. (One highlight: homemade lasagna for dinner!)

A ridiculous quantity of red cinnamon hearts. Yay!

UFC!

Realizing, lately, how nice it is to be me.

Singing at the top of my lungs and dancing around the kitchen with my husband. :) (Maymo greatly enjoyed that!)

The sunshine today was beautiful! SPRING WILL COME!

Thanks to Coffee, I was able to spend most of the day in bed (with a migraine).

My special ergonomic (ha!) pillow that supports my neck and makes migraines feel (somewhat) less horrible.

Finding little bits of pink in my hair.

My sugru arrived!

Middle One’s birthday party was rowdy, crazy, wild and he had a really good time. I was completely and utterly exhausted at the end of it. Holy cats!

Although I’ve just started to get to know her, it would appear that our neighbour (the mom of the kids who came over tonight) has many of the same parenting philosophies and values that we do. This is a really, really nice thing.

I cleaned up a good chunk of the house today. I pretended it was all about Middle One’s birthday but it felt nice to get things tidy and somewhat less cluttery.

No school today for me! Yay!

Coffee came home and swooped right in on the party stuff, helping Middle One put Lego together, etc. He’s a good egg, my husband.

Today is my Friday. My weekend officially starts NOW!

The 3 pen pal letters I mentioned yesterday have morphed into SIX. OMG. (!!!!!)

The only thing Middle One wants for his birthday? LEGO.

Remembering to run the dishwasher after dinner.

Picking up more international stamps at the post office today!

I made it home earlier than I expected – this means I have time to work on my paper! (also: time to freak OUT about my paper..)

Coffee’s unending support. Every time I freak out he simply shrugs and says, “Eh, you can do it.” Now I just email him and say, “TELL ME I CAN DO IT, OK? PLEASE?” and.. he does. :)

I have survived the darkest days of winter. Spring is coming, y’know. IT IS.

A windshield washer reservoir FULL of ice-melting fluid. I love that stuff. I also TOTALLY overuse it. And I remembered to fill it this morning so the little light on my dashboard would stop shining at me.

My Pilot Color ENO pencils.

There are times when I don’t check voice mail for, literally, days. And nothing explodes!

One page down in a 6 page assignment. I can do this. I can DO this! (It’s not going well, but I’m trying to stay optimistic!)

Daal and naan for dinner. Mmmmmm.

Listening to Tom Petty wailing away about whatever it is he’s wailing about. How can anyone NOT love Tom Petty, anyway?

There are THREE pen pal letters on my desk awaiting my reply. THIS IS AWESOME!

I have begun to accumulate a really awesome collection of t-shirts thanks to my friend K. I love getting ready for school on the days when I don’t have to dress up!

Middle One’s birthday invitations are finished and ready to hand out. He’s going to play paintball with some friends.

I made a HUGE amount of progress today on a project that’s due on Thursday. I feel really, really good about it.

Getting 85% on my first assignment of the term!

Playing Dropcast on DS, at night, with Coffee.

Almost finished a paper that’s due on Tuesday!

Cinnamon hearts. Oh, how I love those little chunks of spicy sugar..

Practicing being non-defensive. It should not surprise you that I suck at this.

Coffee’s productivity today while I’ve been hunched over my desk doing school work. Time flies for me so it’s shocking when he appears to announce new happenings (“I’m taking Middle One to his friend’s house” seemed to take place 30 seconds before “I’m picking Middle One up in a few minutes..”).

Our new thermostat that will adjust temperatures for us multiple times per day. Sweeeeet!

Peanut butter and grape jelly on toast. Nom!

Finally saw “Sherlock Holmes” .. it was better than I expected!

Jalapeno!

A nice mix of productive and slack.

Listening to Middle One talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. And laughing inwardly.
