(First off, whew, sorry about that last entry. Like how I had been all "I'm gonna make this a happy place!" one day, and then I went and complained and bitched and moaned the next? I realize things aren't all that bad, and thankfully I had saved all of my holiday bonus so I can afford to have the work done without putting it on a credit card. Although, honestly, I keep a credit card with such a low limit, it wouldn't even cover 1/4 of the cost, so I'd have to possibly get another line of credit just for my TEETH had it not been for the bonus. Oh, and for my awesome parents, who immediately called and (1) apologized for passing along my mom's dental genetics, and (2) offered to help pay for the dentist bills. I made a deal that they are only allowed to contribute if I need a root canal, in which case they can pay for that.)

Anyway, back to my attempts at making this a happy place... with another installment of Grace in Small Things.

1. Ordered a brand spanking new laptop today! (Part birthday present from my parents, part my gift to myself from my bonus.)
2. A break from the rainy days just in time for the first of five Friday 5Ks tonight.
3. Date night tonight (after the 5k) to go see I Love You, Man. No, I love you, Paul Rudd.
4. A break from the rainy days just in time for the weekend!
5. Starting a Sunday Brunch Book Club. I am SO excited for this.

(Grace in Small Things is a daily reminder to take notice of the positive things we tend to overlook.)
