3. I went to Freo with Hannah, Chels and Amanda. It was really lovely, hot but so much fun. They're great and so easy to get along with. Then we went to the city and talked about RO! for a while.
2. I've rediscovered some of the shops in Freo. I'll have so much fun next time I go :)
1. I found paint, so I can make Laura's tree on Monday with Shannon :)

parties
Friday:
3. I went to Angela's wedding - as Shannon would say, I've popped my wedding cherry ;)
2. Mack had a birthday party, which I enjoyed very much :) I got Criss Angel back! :D

1. I watched the first half of Surf's Up, and it calmed me down a lot, helped me deal with the 'talk' that Mum and Alicia wanted to have.

faglish!
Today has been pretty shit mostly. Work was probably the highlight. Weird, no?
3. Alex came in to IGA and worked his alexmagic. I love him so much.
2. I finally paid back all the money I owed the parentals. All $22 of it.
1. Chris said to me, "you don't understand faglish... uhh... FA_glish. That came out wrong." He actually said it yesterday but it cracked me up today thinking about it so I'm using it as a thing to be happy about.

go crazy
Shannon came over and we made waffles. Louise called and told me she was taking me to Cairns in June! I know what 'sif' means. Haydn passed his stats exam. Eric texted me just to say hi. Someone on Perthbands said, "What the fuck is this, and how would I go about un-seeing it?" in response to something I posted. Second round offers come out February 3rd. 8 days until Laura returns. Sam gets here on the 18th.
taken out!
3. I just got hooked on a crappy late night TV show called Taken Out. It's addictive, and immensely fun to mock. I can get all the judgement out of my system so I'm not as bitchy the next day :P
2. The alarm went off at work, which was pretty hilarious (at least for me and Jack.)
1. Eric (from the TWLOHA myspace) posted a bulletin that said "I'm glad you're alive," which made me momentarily warm and fuzzy. He's a good guy.
Yes, today was a little dry on Things To Be Thankful For, hence the alarm making the list. But three things is the tradition, so three things I will extract from each 24 hour block.

friends and fireworks
3. Yesterday was Australia day, so I went down to the foreshore in the evening to spend a few hours with friends and watched the fireworks. Our little group was Haydn, Heather, Shoki, Louis, Sean and Marty. Caris was there too with two of her friends, and we walked home together after the show. They were great, and the atmosphere was awesome.
2. I finished Tuesdays with Morrie. I highly recommend it.
1. I talked to Ben on MSN. He always cracks me up, I love him so much. I'm really proud of him too, of the way he has handled breaking up with Reece. He's very mature.

babysitting and such
So this has been a generally good day all around.
3. I woke up to Haydn very gently saying, "wake up sleepyhead" (at 7:30 in the freaking morning, it's not like I was the kraken :P) - but the wake up also came with coffee. Haydn is one of the good ones, he always makes his friends feel like they are the most important people in the world, and that our being there makes him happy. That's rare, and lovely.
2. I babysat for Rob and Fiona tonight. I made an easy $50, and also read most of (then borrowed) Tuesdays with Morrie, an amazing book which I'm sure I'll finish tomorrow.
1. I had a really good talk with Chris (an ex YA.) I love his quirky offbeat-ness, oft-indecipherable (yet patiently translated) gangsta language, and different sense of humour, sense of self. He's an extremly smart guy too, and a pleasure to converse with.

the weekend
Okay, So I haven't been home that much these past couple of days. Here goes, and let's see how my memory serves me. Friday:
3. I caught the train to Whitfords. I was pretty nervous because I've never been there before, but it all went smoothly and Amanda picked me up.
2. I had an absolute blast at my YA party. We played singstar 80s, which was hilarious, and this weird colour game called De Blob. We ate yummy food and talked about reach out! and laughed lots. Hannah is great, and Chels is the same as ever. I got home at about 2:30am.
1. Only 13 days until Laura gets back! :)
Saturday:
3. I talked some stuff through with Shannon, and she's on my side, she always is.
2. I met Heather at Haydn's, and she's lovely :) She's a lot like him in some ways... or a lot of ways... and I reckon they're super good together.
1. Haydn's party was very fun :) It was him, Shannon, Caris, Liz, Heather and I (with Tristian popping in and out.) Caris made some kickass cake, we swam, gave presents from christmas and birthday, and had some good conversations.

thursday's thanks
1. I finally got my license renewed! And it was free, too :) Somebody up there loves me.
2. I had fun at work, and made about 30 bucks too :)
3. I got my Oz Day plans sorted. That's a load off my mind, and I'm looking forward to it also.

Shoes and stuff
Today isn't over, but I've had a good day so far and have my three things already :)1. I went shopping with Mum and she bought me lunch... as well as two pairs of lovely shoes :)
2. I've rediscovered http://www.43things.com/, an awesome website where you list your goals and hopes and dreams in a community environment, and it inspires me to cross stuff off. I also made someone's day :)
3. I think I know what I'm getting Haydn for his birthday, provided it doesn't cost like a kazillion dollars :P
yesterday
Three things from yesterday:
3. I had fun at work. That lovely Italian man came in and he always makes me happy :)
2. I made kickass nachos for dinner, and they were delicious.
1. I watched Friday Night's alright for fighting (an episode of Gilmore Girls). It's a hilarious episode that I love :)

still going strong
Three things that made me happy today:
3. I went to Lila's exercise class this morning and worked hard. It felt good, and I felt virtuous :)
2. I got roped in to helping mum out at the wight loss challenge tonight. I didn't want to do it at first, but now I'm going to try and be extra positive and make the most of it. Hopefully it will remain on the list of things that made me happy :P
1. I called the licensing centre! Finally! I was scared, but I called anyway. As it turns out, I get in under the old laws :) No 6 months of L plates for me!

thankyou
Today was not the best day ever. But I'm going to find three good things if it kills me, so here goes:
3. I found shorts in harbourtown. They're extra comfortable and were only $12.
2. I did a good deed and gave Blake $20 to go watch his show. I hope he's alright.
1. I hung out with Brandon. He's the most awesome cousin I could wish for, and I'm in a better mood for him having been here tonight. Thankyou.

happy/thanks
The top three things that made me happy today:
3. Getting my hair cut off. It hasn't been this short in years and it's very light and different.
2. Reading my loveblog to laura and her loveblog to me. Warm and fuzzy. Get me a quilt and some cocoa and I'm set.
1. Shannon giving me the opportunity to tell her how much I love her and I'm always (t)here for the ranting-depression-sad-happy-crazy-nuts-obsessive-manic times. Always, lovely.
So I'm gonna try and be more grateful more often. It's good for the soul and my soul needs some serious looking after this year.
