Why are you happy today?

Change the record...

See if Nemo fetches, too. Some cats do.

Knowing thetagirl05's luck, not much chance of that...

had a nice chat with my mom and dad.

I like Frankfurt more and more and meet more and more supernice people!

A friend told me a funny story about how she fell into a LSD cactus at the botanic garden in Dresden last weekend. I really should have come along on that trip! Oh well, we had a good laugh about it.

And I talked to a nice guy from one of my classes who spent a semester in BCN and he gave me some advice and told me I can ask him anything I want. Always good to know someone who's essentially done the same thing I am about to do.

And I finally got a message from a friend who I'd lost touch with 3 years ago, and found again 3 months ago... took him that long to write back to me, but oh well, I am so glad he did, anyway.

because of this: Green Farm Festival

even though I am very tired, the phone has been rining since 6am with good wishes for my birthday, I really appreicate the gesture, and the florist just called to say they got more flowers for me.
And somebody who I never agree with here on TT started my birthday thread.

I am happy because I just spoke to a client in Brazil who has a sleezy South American accent and called me "my frayhn'" and wished me a "love-eh-lee weekayhn'".

I am HAPPY because today is my last day of teaching summer school. I am now FREE until August 2nd!!!

I'm happy today because in less than 72 hours I'll get a chance to see my mother again. On Sunday I'm heading home to Chicago after not being in the states for three years I'm looking forward to seeing my family.

I am happy today as I had a wonderful time last night celebrating a friend´s birthday, talked to a lot of people I hadn´t seen for ages and woke up feeling happy this morning to boot.

I am happy because I was so touched yesterday at the people that attended my party braving the rain to give me good wishes. I am truely blessed to know so many wonderful people. And my work collegues had a good time too.

I am happy because I saw a great concert along with about 65,000 others. Herbert Grönemeyer sure does rule!

I am happy that I am no longer hung over! Think I am still buzzed.
Had a wonderful day hashing, laying a nice long trail and running it again later. Yes, we are crazy people, but it was fun. Great to catch up with people haven't seen in awhile.

I'm happy because I've just finished celebrating my birthday (started on Thursday). It was the best birthday I've ever had. The worst hangover too but it was worth every brain cell.

I'm happy today because even though I got home at 5.30 this morning I don"t have the huge hangover I expected!!

I'm happy because i like my new office

I just pre-ordered the new album of one of my favorite bands, Who We Are by Lifehouse, for myself and my best friend at Amazon. And thanks to the fabulous Dollar-Euro conversion rate it comes out pretty cheap anyway even though we will be paying $13.47 for (expedited) shipping (when the album is $9.99). Kind of ridiculous to be paying more for the shipping than the album costs, but it will probably only be about €13 for each of us anyway, when the import is over €20 at Amazon.de. I listened to the songs for the first time today and I am so excited!

I'm happy because me boyfriend is going out of town on business for 4 days! Yes, sounds cruel but sometimes a girl just needs a break!

I am happy coz the surgeon who did my knee this morning has called to see how I am doing... Now that is what I call a careing service!!

G

I am getting $1,600 from the IRS for my tax return

Wait till you get his bill and his caring phone call is itemised on it. ( This is not a joke, I've had a doctor do this.)

TBFB

Now that is what I call an office. This is where i would like mine built.

I'm happy today because I'm the luckiest girl in the whole wide world.

My new toy just got here today... the mailman came at 0830, and of course I was asleep and didn't hear it but my neighbor accepted it for me (I had expected this to happen, so I had talked to her last night, and put a note on the door as well).
Awesome! I had ordered it on Saturday! Now I'm waiting for it to charge completely so I can play with it. (Ah yes I know it's a phone but whatever. )

only 3 more pieces of birthday cake to eat... its a hard sacrifice.

I am happy as I am going shoe shopping tomorrow morning with two fun TTer-ins.

Up until the last sentence, I was convinced she ordered a vibrator (toy, charged up, play with it).

Renia- and we maybe on the Vent thread tomorrow depending on the success of the shopping trip.

i have a truly patient boyfriend who even tolerates my being particular about things!

That'd be a good idea as well though.

I am happy today because after getting super frustrated last night with my new MP3 player not being Itunes compatitble (I spent the last 3 days putting about 150 CD's in my ITunes), and me being totally computer/technology illiterate, I did figure it out... and get this, with the help of T-online! Yeah, you read that right. T-online. They have a music manager program that I downloaded ages ago, but it let me import my Itunes to upload on my MP3 player that says needs Windows Media. The are compatible with most machines and systems. I am soooooooo happppyy about that.
Oh, and I got two new pairs of shoes today and had a great lunch with 2 good friends.

Life is so much better since I am not allowing negative energy engulf me.

Congrats on the last sentence Carm! Keep the good spirit up.

Yeah, not hanging out much lately on the Vent thread!

I´m happy because I spent a nice evening with a good friend, and on the way home we saw a firefly.

Oh, and then the evening was almost ruined by someone on the tram who pointed out to me that I was doing something "wrong", but I handled it sovereignly (does that work in English?) and had everyone else on the tram on my side, too. Finally, I stood up to a German bully decisively yet coolly. Patting myself on the back.

I am happy again because my daughter is over her chicken pox and healthy again.

On Friday I hope to receive exercises so I will never have back trouble again.

I also understood a basic concept in astronomy tonight.

Brother flys in today, sister tomorrow, Sonic Youth tonight, beers to follow. Sweet.

Yes, one more day of work and then I'm off for a weeklong golfing/wellness vacation. Whoohoo!

I'm happy because for the first time in three years, they got the bloodwork done in one try instead of three or four, and no blown veins! Yippee!

(bloodwork done every few months)

I survived my first yoga class ever. Wow, some of that stuff is really tough! I bought a 10er karte so now I HAVE to go once a week to the beginners sesions (right?). It's like new years today!

I am happy because my knees can be treated conservatively, even though it means getting shots into them every week for a month or so. Anything to avoid looking like Grinner

Because it's Friday which automatically means the next 2 days are work-free!!!

I am off to Austria for a weekend of fun... and some wine tasting too.

Yesterday our 4 year old decided to pee-pee into a hole in the ground whilst discovering the great outdoors. This hole was also a wasps nest...needless to say, he got stung.
Poor thing...I'm happy that he is fine.

I was happy yesterday (but forgot to post it) because I had a can of A&W root beer. Thanks for the tip, ER and OG!

I too, was happy yesterday because we finally bought a car!

Got my first real birthday card this year! (Not counting the ones from DocMorris and Deutsche Bahn ) It's from my best friend.

Aaand another reason is one of my best friends got a new job. She really didn't like her old one any more as the management sucked, and this one is so much better, she will make more money, and she will not be temp but part time employed (so she gets a fixed salary every month + I assume paid vacation and sick leave). She is a coffee junkie and the new job is at Starbucks (her old one was not very useful like that) so that is great for her. I hope that will at least take some stress from her life.

She also just told me she already found a new roommate (her roomie just told her a few days ago that she is moving in August).

because i just ate a packet of 4 chocolate eclairs
