Saturday Smiles

This is something new.

New Year.

New Things.

Every Saturday, I'm going to try and post five things that made me smile during the week. Often I find myself getting caught up in the small stuff but this year I'm making an effort to be conscious of it. This year is about being happy and finding happiness even in the small things! Want to join me? Go ahead and post your Saturday Smiles!

This week's Saturday Smiles...

1. Having 3 days off work.

2. Getting new tires and an oil change for my car.

3. New furniture.

4. Watching the final season of Designing Women.

5. Finding a tree topper for my beach theme tree. Who cares it's after Christmas!

 

What's making you smile this Saturday?

There's No Rain On My Parade

On Monday, I found out someone I would rather not know anything about my life found this blog. Oh great, it's going to be one of those kind of weeks. 


It instantly gave me that gut reaction of, "I'm going to shut it down." 


Then I started thinking. This is MY life. I write what I want to write. I post about what I want to post about. I like putting it all out there. The good, the bad, the ugly. It's MY life. I make the rules. I get this tiny outlet in the world, to share what I think, feel, see and do. It's my space to come and vent. To ask questions. To see other parts of people's worlds. To come in contact with people I would never have known about. To have made friendships with "strangers" who've become friends. 


So what if haters can come here and see my life. Guess what? If they didn't really care or weren't even a tiny bit jealous of my life then they wouldn't feel the need to come on here and stalk me out. I find it flattering the more that I think about it. 


So am I quitting blogging anytime soon? NOPE! I'm here to stay. And even better I'll give you some good facts. How about these jelly bellies......

I'm going to JAMAICA. To an all inclusive resort, where I plan on sunning myself while wearing sunscreen (unlike some leather face that I know). 

 

I have a fabulous family. I have fabulous friends.

 

The list could go on and on......


There's always going to be people out there who want to see you fail. There's always going to be that person who yells out petty, snide remarks. The key is to remember that those people are miserable, unhappy and want to rain on your parade. The best revenge is when you succeed. 

Turning that Frown Upside Down!

Remember that big work evaluation I had coming up this week? Well it was yesterday and I did good! If you recall, I mentioned that it was a pass/fail type of eval. The good news...I didn't fail! Woohoo I can totally keep rocking at my job. 

Next up on the smile meter- I placed my order for girl scout cookies. Um...am I the only one thinking that 6 boxes isn't enough to make it till the next girl scout orders are taken?!? Maybe I'll have to track down that kid and add more to my order....

I just heard that Sonic is doing a dollar menu now. I saw tots on it....this could be the death of me. I LOVE their tater tots. Warning Side story is now invading... When I was living in Alabama (I think I've mentioned that I use to live there), there was a Sonic restaurant literally 3 mins from my town home. I would have to pass it at least twice a day, going to and from work. I'm not gonna lie...many late nights on the drive home I would stop and give into my tater tot addiction. I'm pretty for sure that once I moved out of Alabama that I immediately lost 5 pounds because the lack of proximately to a Sonic. 

With all this talk about cookies and tots....I realized I should probably search my Shred dvd now. Hope all of you have a great 4 day weekend! Saturday is my snowboarding trip!

Happiness

I feel like I could poop rainbows and vomit butterflies, while singing show tunes. That's how happy I am. 

When God shuts one door...he opens a window. Life is amazing right now and I can't wait to share it all with you. Just a few more days. I promise. As soon as Labor day weekend gets here, all will be revealed! 

Blog friends, you are amazing! I rolled my eyes at your comments of, "Don't worry, one day it'll all work out and if not you'll be ok" but guess what....you were all right!
