Stuff to be Happy About

1. Little Jake is engaged. He is crazy, but I love him, and I'm so happy for him and can't wait to get to know Hilari better.
2. My mom bought an antique dress form a couple of weeks ago, and she put her wedding dress on it. It's in the guest room (aka my old bedroom) and I love walking in there just to look at it in all its 1970s glory.
3. I rediscovered the joy of painted fingernails this weekend. Right now mine are kind of an iridescent red-pink. They look very 1940s, and I love them. They may stay this color for a while.
4. I saw two very lame movies this weekend whilst working on the lingerie (only 10 more pieces to go, thank goodness-- that is, until I get up the gumption for another round... it's all turning out pretty well). One was "Henry Poole is Here" and the other was "Picture This." Luke Wilson just rubs his face in his hands a lot in the former, and thinking an Ashley Tisdale flick would be worth the Netflix space in the case of the latter was completely my fault. I'm just biding my time till "Gossip Girl Season 3" releases.
5. Went dancing Friday. It was such a pleasure to dance with folks who are good at it!
6. My great pal Daniel Hall was baptized last night, and it was incredible.
7. Sokphal is back in the country! I'm stoked. Lou is about to leave the country! I'm also stoked (but not because I wanna get rid of Lou-- I'm just happy for her to start her Peace Corps engagement).
8. Pam will be back in just a couple of weeks, which is an immense relief. The other night, I kept waking up and saying "I just don't have any friends." Obviously, this isn't true, but life will be way better when Pammy is back to shop with me.
