find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it (with a fun picture attached)everyday for a year

first big paycheck i get i’ll buy enough film for a month

I tried to keep up with this.. i really did and I think I did a good job when I was able to but sometimes I just get too busy.. I recommend this to everyone and hopefully they can do it for longer than I was able to. It was always a way to positively reflect on my days. It showed me that even the crappiest ones had something good about them.

Spend some time in the hospital last week. It is nice to know that there are doctors (psych) who know what they are doing. I feel so much more in control and that makes me happy!

O man i watched the project runway reunion show and i was literally laughing out loud.. there was an entire section with chris march just laughing saying humorous things.. his laugh is like a cross between a hyena and santa’s jolly old chuckle.. it is great haha

I really enjoyed reading this story about a conflict between the mean italian kids who throw rocks at the beautiful kites that are created by the chinese children.. it was pretty cool.. i think that i am going to use this story for my read aloud

Whenever i am driving in my car back to new paltz or on the way home i love to sing until i am blue in the face.. i made a special cd for the ride and it was so much fun to just belt out my favorite tunes!

megan was really sweet and cooked dinner for me on monday night.. it was CHEESE ravioli and PARMA ROSA sauce.. a deadly combo for my stomach.. i had planned on just being like i have to go get something outta my car and then u know.. making myself feel better.. well that would have been nice but then i had to pee.. so i broke my personal code and for the first time probably ever went to the bathroom in someones house.. lalala no problem right? WRONG. the toilet did not flush. i died. right there. then i freaked out and about 1.5 mins later i told meg.. well she kinda guessed cause i was too embarrassed to speak.. i actually broke into a sweat from being so gosh darn nervous.. so she got me a plunger but it was a crappy one and after i would plunge it wouldnt pop back out.. it didnt unclog.. so i went and told meg and i was freaking out and she was like no whatever its no big deal and she went and got her mom and said it was her.. and her mom got it unstuffed.. it was a terrible experience though.. so hysterical to hear the two of them in there laughing at the situation though.. cause meg knew i was laughing and her mom just had no idea.. it was funny

sunday night megan invited me over because her uncle desi was in town and that was cool but i was a little anxious cause there were so many guys that i wasnt familiar with but as soon as most of the guys left we started a game of couples scrabble.. it was meg and i vs. her mom and dad vs. shannon and her bf vinnie.. i had a lot of fun… it pretty much came down to just the guys playing and the girls keeping us company.. i, no, we ended up winning by like 70 points or something crazy! it was so cool.. but at some point it wasn’t even about winning it was just about having fun.. i am really glad i like megan’s family.. i mean they probably don’t like me as much as i like them but waddayagonna do.. i have fun when i am with them so thats cool.

so megan has been going on and on and on about this surprise she had for me but she needed to wait till i came home cause she was going to take me somewhere and it was going to be a lot of fun.. well it happened.. she kidnapped me and took me ice skating and it was so cute.. little kids were passing her but i wasnt much better.. we were a sight.. and then there we skating and i grab her phone to take a picture of her cause shes o so cute skating and she falls.. it was really funny the timing.. i felt bad but she was okay so it was all good.. cute girlfriend.. best girlfriend..

on friday i slept till 4:45
while in one sense i felt like a waste of life for not working, seeing meg or my family it was exactly the break i needed from all the stresses of school and valentines day and family stuff.. it was a nice break.
