5 Positive Things 3 Aug 2010

1. My husband is safe.  He is a motorcycle enthusiast and meets up with friends from around the country in Deals Gap, NC.  There is a famous stretch of road called Tail of the Dragon.  Most of the guys he only knows casually, from talking online and meeting up from time to time.  This year one of the guys was riding alone, left the road off a cliff, and was found dead a little over 24 hours later.  It really hits home, that it could have been my husband.  So glad he's safe!
   
   
   
2. This didn't actually happen today, but over the weekend.  I've been considering buying a reading lamp for my Kindle.  I picked the M-Edge e-Luminator 2.  Most of their cases have a slot that the lamp fits into, so I picked the red M-Edge Platform case.  My current case is the Tuff Luv and it is a good case.  But I wanted to be able to easily carry my lamp, hence a new case.  Since more of the Kindle will show up in the new case, I also ordered a Decal Girl decal that would go quite well with the new cover.  I can't wait until they get here.  Kindle makeover!!!
   
    
3. Work is going well.  I've been in a slump for a few years, with not enough to do.  It has been difficult and really affecting my confidence and mood.  Now I'm getting more responsibility, more leadership, and hopefully more recognition.  You can see my Changing Role at Work post for more detail.
   
   
   
4. The boys got along pretty good at supper time last night.  Ryan has been worrying about a problem with his teacher, so has not been in a good mood lately.  So I made chicken and let him dip in hot wing sauce, his favorite.  They joked around with each other and I think that it really cheered him up.  He was his usual chatterbox self the rest of the night.
   
   
   
5. The boys behaved very good at the grocery store.  Going to a grocery store is very risky business when both of them are along.  Ryan abhors grocery stores and is immediately in a bad mood most times.  Luke is fine with the idea of going, but he can't hold still or walk like a normal person.  He skip walks and dances around, sometimes too close to Ryan.  This time it went quite well.  Luke still did his usual dancing around, but Ryan handled it well by just trying to stay out of his way.
