happy.

while this week has not been the best week of my life, i'm cheering up, making the best of it, and looking forward. after all, dont' we decide for ourselves to be happy?

coming right up...

another night at the bountiful pantry with miss.
you wouldn't believe what kind of fun we have. 6 hours down, 94 to go. this week, we:

sorted baby food {perfect for "an organizer" like me... huh, cindy and lara?}

filtered through 47894561 cans of chili for "bad" chili - the stuff that had been recalled in the last couple years... been known to cause botulism! yikes.

flattened boxes {they even let jen use a razor blade!}

played some sort of reverse "super market sweep" game show relay... where we put food back on the shelves in their appropriate places

and... helped people load groceries to their cars.

... someday soon, i'm going to ask to operate that forklift. i will!

concerts! britney spears and roger clyne and the peacemakers.

see britney's setlist here. so exciting!

and miss jen assures me i will love rcpm. they love mexico. i love mexico. it's a match made in heaven.

a fat tax return.

planning a cruise. riviera? caribbean?

happy thoughts for USU for winning their game tomorrow... so we can cheer on mr. #44 in boise this sunday. and a sweet reunion with lara and cindy. i hope, i hope, i hope...

a visit to denver to see andi, spencer and lil' olive. happy cakes, photowalks, and a wild ride through denver international.

creating the ultimate craft room/guest room/extension of my closet in the spare room. at last! ... oh the painting possibilities...

and hopefully... a visit from my parents. mom, dad said it would happen soon...

sure... i may be just moments away from my next tear fest and i may feel the sting of daggers in my back, but man, my life is good.
