Yesterday was rough. Not only did the sellers of our house decide that we couldn’t close until Monday (meaning we have Monday + Tuesday to move, Wednesday to clean the apartment, and then have to be out because someone new moves in on Thursday morning!), but then we got screwed with by a Craigslist seller on an item we really wanted for the house (and had already driven for a half hour to their house before we found out they had already sold it).
So needless to say, we came home at the end of the day none-to-happy, and I REALLY needed to put together a Little Things post! No more complaining, more appreciating the little things in life!
The Little Things making me happy today are…
1. Cute puppy faces.
2. Yogi Well-Wishes. Brighten your own day by brightening someone else’s!
3. New episodes of How I Met Your Mother.
4. Listening to podcasts while I walk Max. Or cook. Or do dishes. Heather has some great recommendations!
5. We have awesome friends who are going to see if they can rearrange their work schedules to help us move all the big pieces of furniture during the day next week.
6. The new Sara Bareilles CD. It is great music to work to!
7. I’m still no pro, but I’m getting much better with Adobe Illustrator!
And just for smiles, one more puppy photo:

I’m sorry your yesterday was rough :-/ Moving is stressful even when everything goes “exactly right”…. I’ll definitely be thinking about you guys in the next week
Your list is lovely & the Max pictures make me happy!
The little things making me happy this morning are (1) the wonderfully kind man that I had the opportunity to interact with at the S-bux drive through this morning, and (2) a good news phone call that came in at 7:45 am!
I don’t know how I missed Heather’s post on podcasts. Thanks for the reminder link!
Sorry to hear about your moving woes. I hope everything else goes smoothly! The process of moving is both so exciting and completely sucky.
My little things today: an amazon delivery of my favorite almond butter, a fabulous book (“The Adults”), and an upcoming trip to NYC!
oh you are so inspiring…thank you for sharing your look-on-the-bright-side attitude!
I never knew about Yogi’s wish trees…supergroovy!
(Their Egyptian Licorice makes me happy too…soooo good!)
Cheers!
I love the new Sara Bareilles CD too! The song “Uncharted” and “Let the Rain” have been on repeat in my house. I also happen to be loving the puppy faces lately since my last blog post showed off a couple
Good luck with the house!
Sara Bareilles is my favorite and she is amazing live! Your doggie is so sweet.
