1. The AMAZING Kuwait Weather.
I felt such happiness today every time I walked outside. I wish you guys were here to feel it too. I’m trying to soak it up while I can because before I know it I’ll be sweating all over myself again.
2. Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
What am I going to do one day when we move back to America!?! Do they even sell those there?
3. The Fact That I Can Officially Say That I’m Going On Vacation Next Month
Oh Boy Oh Boy! I can’t believe next month I’ll be back home enjoying a traditional Christmas! I’m so excited about our mini-trip to Minneapolis and Christmas shopping at the Mall of America. It’s going to be so much fun.
4. The Fact That Our Jordan Trip Is Right Around The Corner
I’m getting excited about this trip as well. We really wanted to swim in the Dead Sea, but apparently it will be freezing this time of year. Bummer. I still think I’m going to try to get in, even if it’s just up to my knees for a picture.
5. Mozzarella And Tomato Sandwiches
6. “Your Ex Lover Is Dead” by The Stars
I don’t know why, but I’m liking The Stars’ album right now. It’s not typically my type of music, but I’ve enjoyed it. Plus the album name seems so poetic- In Our Bedroom After The War.
7. Everybody Loves Raymond, Season 8
We just got this season in from Amazon the other day. I’ve already seen a lot of the episodes, but they still crack me up.
8. This Upcoming Weekend.
My boss just came into our office and told us NO WORKING THIS WEEKEND- no matter how much crap we have to do. My coworker and I mentioned taking a couple things home and he said he would not approve our overtime this weekend. We are to go home and enjoy ourselves. This makes me really happy. I can’t wait for this weekend, even if it’s full of nothingness. I’m just glad Will and I will get some time to hang out doing whatever we want!
I am, however, a little nervous because I get the feeling that he’s letting us enjoy this weekend because the coming ones will be busy.
Boo.
Wait- this is a post of positives! I can’t have the above crap in here!
9. Mary Kay Satin Lips
Simply wonderful. I’m about to make the biggest MK order EVER in the coming weeks- if you want anything let me know and I’ll send it to you when I get back to the States.
10. Bench Presses With Dumbells
My women’s gym has a really bad selection of free weights, so I’m about to max out on the highest dumbell weight they have. That’s not a good thing since I won’t be able to go any heavier, but it makes me feel good that I’m getting stronger!
11. Lucy
I <3 Lucy. No dog has ever brought me more joy. She is so spunky. She makes me so mad about 80% of the time because she's always into something, but I love her so much because she's got such a little fighter's mentality. She was the runt of the litter, but she sure thinks she's a giant!
12. “Come Alive” by The Foo Fighters
13. Iced Vanilla Lattes From Starbucks
There’s a new one by my house now! Will groaned because he knows what a money pit this place has become for me.
14. Long Sleeved Shirts
I think I’m going to pull a few out to wear next week.
15. My New Jeans
HA HA I’m going to wear them this weekend. Let’s all say a prayer.
I’m so excited about starting this weekend. I think everyone in my department is. I love you guys very much. Sorry this was a boring post. I just felt so happy about not having to work this weekend-plus the fact that the weather is simply a big fat hug from God today- that I needed to get excited about the little things. I hope you do the same.

we should all make lists like this from time to time - things we are happy about and thankful for… it sure makes all the icky things seem so silly. (for the most part… all day sickness sucks no matter how many other good things I have going on)
