Grace in Small Things: 11/365
(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.)

1. Trader Joe's Instant Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (I wonder if I'll ever do a GiST that doesn't include a food or beverage on the list.) 2. Zicam. 3. Receiving multiple compliments this week on clothing I wore. (I am by no means a fashionable dresser, or have any sense of what one might call "style," but apparently I am very good at choosing colors that look good on me.) 4. Flats. (Seriously, why did I spend so much time in heels when I could essentially wear slippers to work?) 5. Discovering TWO perfect gifts for friends on Etsy this week.

Grace in Small Things: 1/365
This idea is brilliant. Brilliant! What is Grace in Small Things? It is, according to Schmutzie (who came up with this idea), "a daily reminder to take notice of the positive things we tend to overlook." Something we all could use more of in our lives, really. Now, I'm not going to promise to do this every day for 365 days straight. In fact, I can't promise that I'll do it 365 times at all. But I'm going to try. (Well, the latter, anyway.) And I'll start here... 1. Eating the craziest burgers and the BEST macaroni and cheese ever at Kuma's this weekend. (Seriously, awesomest macaroni and cheese on the planet.) 2. My very warm snow boots. 3. Potbelly's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. 4. A boyfriend who gives the best massages, so that I never, ever will have to pay for one again. 5. A random 50-degree day in the first week of February. ![]() |
