Choose Happiness

Small things making me happy today:

• A new employment opportunity for a dear loved one
• The apartment hunt is on. I made the mistake of bringing my mom with me to look at a studio in Brooklyn - as soon as we stepped out of the subway, she repeated one of two things the entire time: "No" and "Stephanie........no." Which was fine since the studio was really a crappy cramped space in a crappy neighborhood with the bathroom OUTSIDE in the hallway. Just...no. And a tiny kitchen which lead to more famous mom-isms: "The listing said it was a micro kitchen" - said I. "Micro? Try microwave because that's all that would fit in there" - replied mom in a snarky manner. Good one.
• I booked a Swedish massage for the end of May. SO looking forward to that.
• This weekend is a bar crawl benefiting a charity for autism so I'll be crawling around all Saturday afternoon and evening.
• The Great Gatsby is coming out soon and there is Gatsby fever everywhere. I might pick up the book and re-read and maybe dedicated a week of posts to Gatsby. Pretending I'm Daisy Buchannon the whole time of course.

One more day until it's Friday. Thank God!

New Season

I'm not quite sure why, but I've been having good feelings. Maybe it's the change in season; although it's still chilly out, winter is long behind us and the past few days have been warm. Or, maybe it's that bright colors are splashed everywhere. Regardless, spring is making me simply happy. Something good is coming this way, so why not document these feelings on the internet, for all the world to read? Enjoy!
