Friday good things

2redtulips

Unfortunately, DH and I had a little spat this morning (it will blow over), so I know I need to post some good things to help combat this funk I'm in...

* The weather is stunning today: 70 degrees and sunny. Just perfect.

* I get to see a childhood friend for dinner tonight.

* My tulips are in bloom.

* I am finally making some progress on child care research!

I'm glad you posted this! I was wondering if we'd have a Friday "good things" post. A few more: 

I got to lounge around in my in-laws' pool yesterday. Looking forward to doing that a lot this summer.

Some friends are throwing a Derby Day party tomorrow. I'll have to skip the mint juleps, but I hope to eat plenty of desserts. 

I got some organizing done in my office. I still have a lot of work to do, but the piles look less crazy & intimidating

@2redtulips Have a wonderful dinner tonight! Tulips are one of my favorite flowers (gerber daisies, too)

@Birch113 Gorgeous weather here, too. It's in the 80s here in San Diego...although it feels like the 90s. Where are you?

@megbmeg lounging at the pool sounds so nice right about now!

@RN536 That is such wonderful news about your mom! Very happy for you and her

Let's see...

I went for a run at the beach today and pushed DS in the stroller. That's getting tough!

Gonna have dinner this evening with family who are visiting from Oregon.

DH is at his police academy orientation right now (first paid day...wootwoot!)

And I hope I am on-call tomorrow so I can sleep in!

@RN536‌, congrats to you and mom on really great news!

Friday good things:
-standardized testing is OVER (I'm a teacher)
- I had some tiramisu and it was delectable
- celebrating my friends bday tomorrow (although it will be my first time at a bar sans-drinking)

Lol @RN536‌, your post just made me laugh because I have been trying to convince my husband that you can put any beverage in a pretty wine glass and that is half the fun. What types of mocktails have you been making? I'm intrigued. When I went on vacation, I had several virgin pina coladas at a pool bar but havent ventured to make anything myself.

@RN535 I love the way you think and I am normally obsessed with sangria! I will definitely see what the bartender can put together and will let you know if I get anything good! Thanks for the ideas! :-)

@RN536, great news!

My wife and I are on day 3 of a nesting staycation.  So far she has pulled down wallpaper in the nursery and we've had electricians come to install lighting fixtures and replace outlets, and she just organized all her tools and put together a cedar potting bench she bought me at least two years ago.  I just ordered frames for six pictures I've been meaning to frame and hang on the wall forever, including one for the nursery, and I started writing thank-you notes for some of the gifts we've already received so that I will have less to do after the showers.  We also re-organized two closets.  AND in the midst of that I've been sleeping 9-10 hour nights plus afternoon naps, we've had lunch out with a friend, and we've done a lot of relaxing and reading and TV watching.  So, all good things!

Also...the weather is gorgeous, which we were LONG overdue for here in Massachusetts.  Our electrical work cost less than anticipated.  We have fun weekend plans with friends.  My OB appointment went well on Wednesday.  Lots of wins here!
