Happy
This post is simply to say how very happy I am right now. I know that some of this may be the weather talking, sunny and 70 (which is, I think the most commonly held ideal), but there is a lot of good going on in my life. Earlier today, I was surprised by a call from Kallie (a friend from college), who I hadn't spoken to in about 2 years, and getting caught up with her was a way to get some perspective on where things are right now.
1. I have some wonderful people in my life. In my day to day right now, I am lucky to enjoy the company of my delightful housemates. They are great even if they drive me crazy sometimes, truly kind and fun people that I am glad to have fallen in with. Also Kyle, who is amazing and makes me laugh and is thoughtful and introduces me to new things and people and is incredible at random stuff, including Hedgehog Launch. Of course, there is my family, too. My parents finally visited; it was great to see them and spend time with them... and not just because of the free dinners and fancy desserts. I caught up with Caita a little bit today as well. I am still surprised that we have a lot of genes in common... must be the "awesome" ones that we share and not the personality determining ones. Andrea. What can I say? Somehow she manages to take good care of me emotionally and handle the best friend-type phone calls while still being the most overscheduled person I have EVER encountered in my life. Slav and Beth, well, they won't like being grouped in together so much, but they are both great long distance friends who make my life better and have put in the considerable time and effort required to be included on my sappy list of "thank you so much for existing."
2. I spend my free time fencing, knitting, socializing, reading and watching free movies. Yes! All this is awesome and makes me happy. Here is the progress on the endpaper mitts.
3. Kitties!
4. Looking ahead. I have been accepted to my first (and only) choice for graduate school, the University of Vermont. I am expecting this to help me get the career portion of my life more on the happiness level of everything else. I am excited and scared, a combination that usually yields good results, or at least good stories.
5. Stuff. Yeah, have I ever denied it? Stuff makes me happy some, too. I am still loving my soft and cushy new bed. I have a magenta and glitter hula hoop (thanks mom!). There are lots of other more necessity-type things that help, too.
So, yay! Thanks fate.

I only wish I could have figured out a way to get a hula hoop home. The pink glittery one was awesome! Thanks for being such a good host while we were visiting.
