1.) Today is  (the drug form) insulin's birthday. 90 years insulin has been helping safe the lives of people with Diabetes. It's not a cure, but it means that people who used to at most live 12-20 months if they starved themselves and were lucky can now live full and happy lives.

2.)  My sister got her diploma. She's a fully certified wedding planner now!

1. Found a comfy chair by the fire (gas) in the student Commons to have my coffee.

2. A girl came and started to play the piano -- playing haltingly and with the odd wrong notes -- but I think I preferred it like that!  :)

That paints a very cozy picture! :) I love hearing 'haltingly and with the odd wrong notes' too, because you know it comes from the heart and not from someone who happens to have talent but not the heart for it.

Mine:

1. Mom called while I was bored out of my mind doing the 20 min free step routine on Wii Fit. I'm going to have to take my laptop in with a DVD or something while I am in there.

2. Watching the snow back home on the local amusement park's cam in their water park.

1. Heading out to Portland, OR today to see one of my very best best best friends. I haven't seen her in 2 years. I am bursting with excitement and happiness!  :D

2. I get to use my new carry-on that I got for Christmas. Backpack no more!  :)

1. Our heat didn't come on this morning (the thingie needs new batteries) so hubby made a fire before he left for the gym and work. (that's a treat since we don't usually ever do that in the morning)

2.  I'm off 'til Wednesday!

I am happy that we finally got our new laptop and i am having a take away for dinner.

May you find hope in the darkest hours and focus on the brightest days free from bitterness that grows you may not judge the universe.

Yay Weby J! Best wishes for a safe delivery and speedy recovery.  :D

1. I actually feel like my old self again today for the first time in months.  Not cranky, tired, or depressed- just perky and motivated.  Perhaps my body is finally adjusting to pregnancy hormones?  Fingers crossed. 

2. I cleaned the house from top to bottom and now everything is so SHINY!  ;D
