So just a moment ago in my last post, I mentioned that today wasn't the best day ever. I had some assignments that were not going well, and some panic issues, etc. So that was fun. And really, this whole week has been extremely stressful.
That is why this post is going to be about things that have made me happy this week. Look for the silver lining, you know. This, my friends, is what it's all about.
1) A letter from my missionary brother.
2) A husband who will do laundry and make dinner while I am doing homework...without even being asked!
3) A teacher who was unexpectedly understanding and kind. I think this might have had something to do with the fact that I was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. (Let's just say that I do NOT do well in debate situations.) But hey, all's well that ends well.
4) Friends who will listen to me and comfort me even when I'm being irrational and just a little bit crazy.
5) Random flowers from an anonymous sender (not my husband). I think I know who it was, because she's the same person that I'm specifically talking about in #4 (although there are a lot of people who also fit this description).
6) Blogs of people I don't even know that remind me to look for the good in everything. (I just realized that I have 115 blogs on my Google Reader...that's a lot)
7) I won a contest! I correctly guessed what day would be the first official, measurable snow in Alaska where Scribbit lives. (You should read her. She is awesome.) Anyways, my awesome prize came in the mail on Monday and absolutely made my day! Such a simple little thing, but it really made me happy. Scribbit, if you happen to read this, thank you. He's such a sweet little guy :) and you can't even imagine how perfect the timing was! Also, you have really pretty handwriting (and I am very random). Anyways, I'm posting pictures of the coolest contest prize ever.
He is a Plaja Pet. (The link is to a giveaway Scribbit did last month, not to the contest. You can find the link to the contest here, and here is where she says that I won...along with three others. Way to go, us! The announcement of winners is at the bottom, but you should really read the story at the top of the post first, because it's amazing.)
Here he is:
Magnetic head.
Magnetic tail.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a couple more at some point, because I think it would be so much fun to rearrange the parts! Does that make me weird/disturbed? (Don't answer that.)
