We are going to a wedding on August 1st. In the Napa area. It is outside and will probably be quite warm. I don't wear dresses. I have been so *down* about this upcoming wedding. Today I found the perfect dress at Macy's and have some black strapy sandals to wear with it. I was walking through the make-up department where I am usually ignored ~ the over-65 curse ~ when this adorable young woman asked if she could *freshen* my lipstick. Usually I would say no thanks but I was on such a high after finding the dress that I said sure. (So now you know that finding something to actually fit is my drug of choice!) Anyway after she freshened my lipstick I asked if she had something to combat the dark circles under my eyes. (Don't you love the things you inherit from your family?) She grabs this under-eye cream, applies it and I was pleased. (Urban Decay by the way.) AND she said after using it for a few days, I can bring it back if I'm not 100% happy. I wanted to kiss her. What made you happy today?

I went to a wedding in Napa a couple of years ago it was beautiful. I love that area! Nice that you were able to find a dress that you like. What made me happy today is that my DH and I decided to take a road trip to Seattle for the August long weekend !

I found a great airfare, this fall, for one of the football games we are going back for.

I had my hair done this morning by my stylist who I've had for over 20 years. We're friends and I love catching up with her

I ran into a work colleague from 20 years ago. We caught up and had some of the same conversations we used to have. We're both happy that President Obama wants prison reform.

I was off from work today. It was a rainy day and I enjoyed a nap this afternoon with my little furry friend. I also spent some time coloring too.

Dh arrived home with a big smile and a kiss. He's been working incredibly long hours in advance of having 4 days off now for a couple of family events (being self employed that always means working extra hard ahead of time) and I was expecting him to be stressed and a bit uncommunicative but he's happy and in buoyant mood - sometimes I don't know how he does it with what he has on his plate

i had a lunch with a group of girlfriends to celebrate two birthdays...one whom I haven't seen in 6 years. she fled the area with her two children to get away from her abusive husband. She is finally divorced from him, he has not rights to her children, and most of all, they are all safe. It was the best day I have had in a very long time:)

Today, I am happy because the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Blue skies, bright sunshine, slight breeze, low humidity. Absolutely gorgeous. While the weather was nice, what made it even nicer was that I got to spend the entire day outside working in my yard. Have I mentioned that it was absolutely gorgeous outside today?

I am happy today because I had some alone time. After a four day road trip with DH and moody DD, I needed to be alone.

I was on an 8 hour conference call that started at 5am this morning. It has finally ended. I'm on one that started at 8:30 and goes till 4:30. It's 3:10. I'm really, really, REALLY ready to be done now. I forgot my "happy" thought : I woke up to fresh coffee this morning and the cats had been fed. I was able to use the bathroom without "help" and had time for a second cup of that coffee!

I got three major bags to go to goodwill tomorrow and I found a jacket from camp circa 1973...and since I am going to a camp reunion later this summer...I am happy. I have no car today and actually tackled the major mess called the basement.

The two people I worked with today gushed about how helpful I was and how much they appreciate me and how much the things I did today will make their lives easier. I love knowing that I've made someone's job, which is such a large part of life, just a little bit better for them.

My mom is taking my niece to Louisiana to visit her father, my brother. They're flying out tomorrow, and my almost 14 year old niece came a few days early to spend more time with my mom.
I got to see her yesterday for lunch, and dh felt good enough this afternoon for us to take niece to the NC Art Museum. Niece is really into art, and I went to art school, so she was really happy to go to the museum with us. My mom decided to go to the art museum as well instead of going back home to finish preparing for their trip.
Then we went to Snoopy's Hot Dogs, which are the best hotdogs in the area for lunch.
My niece is gorgeous. She's 5'5 and a natural redhead like me. She is such a great kid. She told me about how she is friends with an autistic boy at school and keeps people from bullying him.
I also got my package from Haute Look today. I bought a cobalt blue cashmere and silk pashmina scarf as well as a multicoloured viscose scarf that has zebra stripes and paisley designs. They're both so beautiful. The cashmere scarf was $70 and the viscose one was $20. I've been wanting a huge cobalt blue cashmere scarf for a few years, and they usually sell for $100-$150. I'm also thrilled with the viscose scarf--I didn't realize how large it would be and that it would be so beautiful. Lots of blues and turquoise with oranges, cinnamon, and ocre colours.

The utterly clueless dufus at the checkers drive thru. I couldn't be mad after that, even with the awful drive back home from the city. He had us cracking up all the way home, bless his heart. It was just what I needed. I hope his day gets better! I should have tipped him just for the comedy part of his comedy of errors.

My 15 year old grandson chose to spend the day with me rather than staying home alone (and xbox) I loved every minute with him!
