don't worry, be happy...

The end of my work week last week was ... horrid.

Like, unbearably so.

{Thankfully, my weekend was good fantastic.}

And today has been rocky as well. 

And because I'm still at work ... instead of on some fabulous vacation... and because I am sick of dwelling on my epically bad mood, I'm going to focus on something{s} happier.

Happiness is:

*warm fleece pants on a freezing cold day.

*finding the exact right hair accessory for your outfit.

*a good hair day -- complete with a cute little braid.

*the plaid scarf i love.
*star filled skies -- they look so pretty and make me so happy. 

*a cute boy telling me he is/was/will be happy to see me.

*a va va va voom cocktail dress for an upcoming holiday party.
{and for a great deal!!}

*snuggling.

*this LOVELY etsy shop. seriously--etsy is like my interior design crack.
{i want the no ballyhoo one. SO good!}

*sitting at my desk in my slippers--because it's 35 degrees INSIDE my building.

*my "hobo gloves" to help keep my fingers warm while i write 2 newscasts. 
*free money from sephora ... because i'm a frequent shopper. LOVELOVELOVE.
*my plans to build a gingerbread house. aww yeah.

*finally getting our christmas tree and beginning to decorate.

*my FOUR HOUR nap yesterday.
*(one gripe...my tooth --the one that needs a root canal-- is killlllllllin me this week... but i'm too busy to get it fixed in the next week or so.)
*great family and faux-family who i'm so grateful for and i'm so so so lucky to have in my life.
*my awesome amazing friends i love, adore, and couldn't live without.

there's still so much more...but that helped me with my mood a little.
