Great book by Ann Patchett. Getting more books by her as I really love her writing.
It was nice to pick up a fiction after I’ve been reading all these other self-help and how-to books. This was a really fast read. After the slow beginning, it was quite the page turner. Not my favorite, but definitely a goodie.
but I don’t think this is going to be the end of the application process. First, the USPS worker told me that CVS took my passport pictures wrong. There’s too much body in the picture and it should be pretty much all face. Then second, I wrote the wrong father down. See, I was adopted by my step dad. So he is my legal father. Which is what I thought the right answer was. But the USPS worker said it should be the father that is on my birth certificate. But the field did not say “birth father” it just said “father.” So even though we changed the form to what she thought, I still think I’m right. The application is probably going to get kicked back because I didn’t know my biological father’s birthplace or birthday. We’ll see what happens. Ugh. I just want my stupid passport!
Victoria Moran does an amazing job of taking what everyone already has and spinning into what you need to live a great life, no matter how many negatives. This has really inspired me to make small changes in my everyday so that I can make a big change for the better in my life. Loved it! A+

Today it makes me happy that:
a) We are going to Lake Erie this weekend! Can’t wait! We might even head to Put-In-Bay! That will be my first time there!
and b) Thanks to a new book, I have started a Serendipity Log. It’s kinda similar to this goal, but it’s more like appreciating the small things more often in a day. I decided to change it up a bit and put it on my twitter instead of in a journal. So if anyone searches on Twitter for @schmittastic #serendipitylog you will see my entries! Super exciting!

Today it makes me happy that I have yoga tonight. This is my one opportunity every week that I have set aside to work on my strength training.
This book was not my favorite motivational book so far. It actually made me feel a lot worse about the person that I authentically am. However, it was definitely something I needed to ready about the importance of being myself because I am at a time in my life when I am falling in love with someone and it is scaring me how well he knows me. So much so, that I wish he didn’t know the real me and I want to go back and change who I am. But then again… maybe he wouldn’t be in love with me if I was capable of turning back time. :) Deep.
This was a really good book. It made a lot of basic thing make more sense. I took a lot of notes because it was a book a borrowed from the library. I hope I can instill these pointers in my own training of my crazy beagle!

Today it makes me happy that I woke up at 6:30 am. I haven’t been getting up until 7:30 on most days and I was able to have a nice leisurely morning before heading off to work. I look forward to continuing this trend every day.

Today it makes me happy that Jen got her dream job as a Visual Merchandiser at Macy’s! I’m so proud of her for being able to accomplish such a great thing during such a terrible time in this economy. It’s nice to hear her giddy about something other than a boy.
Guess I gotta start over tomorrow. T stayed the night and he always makes me want to sleep in. I definitely hit the alarm like 4 times.
