Sometimes I get so caught up in what's going wrong in life...I forget to be be thankful for what is going great!
Geoff and I have this little "ritual", that someday we want to pass on to our kids. Right before he passes out (I am the night owl), we do our I love yous (man, is he going to kill me or what), and then "What was the best part of your day". Sometimes it's a little thing, sometimes it's a major victory.
Yesterday, I had to pause and say..."Ya, know what...this whole weekend was perfect". Nothing super, special, life altering happened.....just a weekend were nothing went wrong and every event put a smile no my face.
My "perfect" weekend consisted of .....
- Weighing in on Friday and losing some more weight....not the 10 pounds I wanted....grr...but 7. Down to 155/54. 20 pounds (give or take) to go!!
- Taking our dogs to a Halloween Party, then Wag-O-Ween downtown. I guess what made me smile was the fact that tourists were asking to take the pups pictures 7 asked me (wasn't counting the ones snapping away without asking...weirdo's). Had fun conversations about dogs with each of them. And while I thought they just wanted pictures of the dogs...they asked me to be in them! Too funny! But made me smile!
- I also got a phone number from a guy!! Ok, Geoff wasn't so thrilled with that one...but while he was getting the car, I had 2 tired pups, leashes in my hand, a backpack, camera and smoothie...so the poor guy couldn't see my ring. (I very quickly said I was married and showed him the ring). I haven't had that happen in YEARS!
- Had a wonderful time at my friends Halloween party (cops came 3 times for noise violations!!! Haven't been to a party were the cops came since I was in college)
- Great brunch with the hubby on Sunday.
- Watched "The Secret Lives of Bees" with some of the girls and it was AWESOME...almost like the book (pretty darn close...couple parts were different for "drama"). The actors they choose were perfect for the roles!!!!
- Played tennis/had practice for almost 3 hours (our coach was CRAZY). But I finally have a backhand stroke...and am learning to serve deep!
- Monday had a great day with hubby (he has ever other Monday off...hence the long weekend). Did errands...signed up for the YMCA and watched Mad Men and How I Met Your Mother episodes that we were so behind on!
- Curled up with a good book last night....
Here are some party pictures...
