Happiness Highlights

Happiness Highlights for the week of 5/13/13/ – 5/19/13:

- Not only did I golf in the work golf league last week, but I golfed well (for me)! I even scored some points. I think I’m getting the hang of this! Although I should still probably take a lesson.

- We had really awesome weather this past week. It’s finally hot and sunny! I went on a boat cruise Thursday night and watched the sunset. It was a beautiful evening.

- I’m trying to get back into a running routine. I went for a great run last week. I’m really enjoying running and the the runner’s high again. I just need to find a way to make it a habit.

- Work this week was really fun. We had a customer visit us in Beloit and we spent the whole week being creative. It’s my favorite kind of meeting!

- Abby and I had a girls night Friday night and went shopping. I bought new shoes for work (boring) and cute new moccasins for fun (yay)! New shoes always get me excited because I never buy shoes. I’m so cheap!

- Saturday was my bum day. I didn’t do too much. Abby and I went out for lunch, but for the most part I just relaxed. It felt good to recharge a bit. These past couple weeks have been hectic and the weeks ahead won’t be any better. This chill time is so important.

- Saturday night Bryan and I went to our friends’ house for a bonfire. I love summer nights and hanging out around a fire. I feel like that’s how you know it’s officially summer – it’s warm enough at night to hang out outside!

- Work brings me to Chicago this week so I came down late afternoon on Sunday. Holy traffic Batman! It was awful, but the minute I checked into my room, my mood improved. I had a great view of the city! I spent the night enjoying drinks and dinner with friends. It was a good reminder that I’m lucky to work with cool people. Plus my old friend Jessica came out. We had a blast! Hopefully hanging out with her becomes a habit too…we could be running buddies actually!

What were your happiness highlights?

I’m a big fan of last minute decisions. While my trip to Chicago has been planned for a couple weeks, my dinner plans were very last minute. Tonight, we had a surprise dinner guest – Jessica! My former partner in crime. She moved to Chicago and started a new job a little over a year [...]

Pouting

May 17, 2013

I’m a Type A, high strung, easily stressed person. These past two weeks have about given me a stroke. Between big work projects and planning a lot of travel, I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed. Then throw in all the things I feel like I’m missing out on… I’m not the most pleasant person to be [...]

This Bread is Bananas

May 8, 2013

I did the only logical thing you can do when there are three extremely ripe bananas on your counter… Bake banana bread. The bananas have to be super ripe though. I’m talking so mushy that they might fall apart when you pick them up. Super ripe bananas make the best banana bread. Banana Bread: 3 [...]
