WEEK 5….HAPPY HAPPY

Back in my purple room and feeling right at home.  I love it in here.  Its really warm in our house so I keep the door closed to this room and the window open…so it is cold cold cold!  I keep telling my family I can't get more naked than naked and they can put sweaters on.  Oh well, I don't care what the house itself is…I can just go into my purple room and cool off when I need to.

Dinner the other night with Aryn and Bradley was so much fun and delicious.  Bradley had received his permanent residency and had done the cross the border thingy (so stupid) but now he has a social insurance number, he doesn't have to pay 380 bucks a month for car insurance, he can tell his current boss to get lost should he choose to etc…he was one very very happy (and emotional) camper that night…which was very infectious!  And yes, there was a little tippling!

Yesterday we got up pretty late, for us, and hit the road around 11 am.  We ended up some how down at the downtown Costco.  We are sick…we have an addiction.  But…I have to say they did have stuff our Costco doesn't.  So I picked up a bunch of things to fill in the gaps at home…pickled beets, cheese, bucket of mayo, dried blueberries etc…  We then went to Richmond and hit the Lighting Warehouse and I bought two lights..one for purple room and one for the "reading room" or the well as we usually call it.  Such a cool place…so many choices.  

All in all a successful trip to Vancouver.  Now its time to buckle down and get the work here done.  List time again….  I will finish this tomorrow morning…weight and weekly challenge…which I failed dismally this last week…so  time to get back on it…  

263..slowly she goes.  And this week's challenge…be happy and positive.  She says that those that have a "glass half full" attitude are happier, healthier, and live longer.  You start by shifting that ugly little voice in your head to a positive chatty little encourager.  And make a sense of humour your default response when things don't go as planned. NO SELF-PITY OR VICTIM THINKING…very undermining.  

Really what it boils down to is this, control the colour of glasses you put on everyday.  If they are dark…everything will be dark, thus, if the glasses are light..well..you get it.  She went on and on but I think as reasonable thinking adults here we see the point without belabouring it.  Its a great idea and with a little self discipline we can all be jolly and jocund (my word for the week).

And now this post is ridiculously long so I go.  TTYL
