So many great 'things to be happy about' - especially the great politics stuff already posted!!!

1) Had a fun trip/visit in the US, seeing my family & being on vacation.

2) Happy to be home again though!

The boy left me alone, stupid boy, so I walked down to Oxford street and bought three dresses and some boots. IT'S THE BOY'S FAULT.

These are the boots, I love them!

2. I know it's only a £5 hot water bottle...But it's been HEAVEN to snuggle with!

1. I bought my first candy cane of the season yesterday so I can have peppermint hot chocolate at work tonight.

2. My car goes to the doctor tomorrow, so I will be able to get out and about without having to borrow vehicles. The guy I go to has been backed up all week, but he charges by the job and not by the hour, so he is inexpensive and does great work.

1. Got a lot of things done that I've been putting off today! I love that feeling of accomplishment!

2. The hubby is making me a lovely dinner tonight! It's nice to be able to sit back and relax after a busy day!

1. One of mom's friends tried to win prettiest house in a Halloween contest and decorated with loads of pumpkins. She has given me a few of them to make soup with.

2. The countdown to pecan pie is on!

It's been a pretty shite day, so I'm kind of scraping to find something to be happy about, but...

1.  my dinner -- a bowl of home-made chicken soup with big chunky carrots and tiny little conchigliette, and a bottle of Joker.

2.  so thankful that I grew up in a time and circumstance where I could leave home at 17 and become a strong, independent person with a varied catalogue of interesting/challenging life experiences.  So many of the people I work with, who are roughly my age, have got adult kids living at home because they can't afford their independence, and it just seems like a nightmare for all concerned.

With University, upcoming SET(M), husband at sea for a month, IBS, and not-being-able-to-go-to-Berlin stress, I think it's absolutely necessary I find a couple of things to feel happy about today!

1. Finally getting into an exercise routine. :)

2. It's a lovely, autumn, rainy day. :)

1. My shiny new British passport arrived today!  :D

2. R surprised me by booking us for the Thanksgiving feast at my fave vegan restaurant, Manna. Now I know this is not exciting to most of you, but they are seriously one of the best vegan restaurants around and I love love love their food so I am chuffed to bits!  :D :D
