Things I'm happy about::

1. Spring break is in five weeks. Then after that? Only 7 more weeks of school. Although I really love my class this year, summer is always welcome.

2. I went shopping for the first time in 2009 yesterday. I held out on my resolution for almost 2 months, but when you have a card for free underwear at V. Secret, you go get free underwear. Then you buy more. Then you go to other stores. Then you spend money in those other stores. It was Valentine's Day. I'm entitled to buy a present for myself, right? I promise to make it another two months without going to the mall.

3. I get to go to Dallas in four weeks. Granted, it's with the high school band, but it is free! And I haven't gone anywhere for about two years! I get to see the King Tut exhibit, and I'm pretty excited about that.

4. I joined a gym. Seriously. This is huge. Now I just need to start going!

5. Lots of good shows are on TV right now. Survivor, Amazing Race, The Bachelor, CSI, and American Idol. How can I get to the gym when there's all this viewing pleasure on TV?

6. The digital transition has been pushed back. I am very happy about that because I have NO converter box and NO cable. I do have a digital TV, but I don't think that's enough. I don't really understand it all, but now I'm assured that I can watch The Bachelor without interruption, and that I have a little more time to figure out this digital transition business.

7. Towing is covered in my insurance. That's a must, I've discovered. And I'm thankful for it.

8. I have some really great people in my life. People who really get me. People I really enjoy. People I couldn't imagine NOT having in my life. Friends and family.

9. I am cleaning my "walk in closet" today. Also known as my second bedroom. I have three bedrooms. Two out of the three are consistently closed off to any guests that may stop by. One has turned into a storage area. The other turned into a walk in closet. Both are pretty bad. I plan on fixing ONE of them today.

10. I moved up to medium difficulty on Guitar Hero. Enough said.
