Life is Fine, Fine as Wine, Life is Fine

I am a happy person. It is Tuesday of Spring Break. Life couldn't be better.

Each week, I am able to fit into more and more of my cute skinny clothes. I am almost into my favorite jeans (I think by Saturday I will be able to feel confident wearing them in public). In 6 weeks, I am down just over 13 pounds. Go me!

I got some cute shoes a couple weeks ago that seem to go with everything I own. Rock on!

We got an awesome new stroller today (on sale!!!) that is cute, gender neutral, and smooth gliding. It has a huge basket (great for shopping), and the handle is nice and high for Joe to use. Yay!

I have been searching for a new purse for almost 6 months. I found one at MOA on clearance for 5.99 that is SO cute I could die (but I won't). It is the perfect size to fit all I need. It even has a pocket insode (with a zipper!) that is big enough for a diaper and a 10-pack of wipes. There are two external holders--one for a phone, and one for lotion--and three internal holders for other items of import. It fits nicely on the shoulder, and the straps are cloth, so they stay put and don't slide down. And best of all, it has no leather at all! What a great purse. I would have paid 30$ for it (that is a lot for me, in case you don't know), but it was only 5.99. If there was a purse competition this summer (which I am aware there is not), I would totally win. Awesome!

I set up my U of M email today so I can keep in touch with everyone as we are preparing to teach our new public speaking class. In order get it going, I had to call a tech person for my password, and I got to say, "I am a new faculty member, and I need to set up my email account." I sound so grown up! Sweet!

Because I am a teacher, I got a free membership at Underwater World. Shark, lobsters, fishies, and turtles, here I come! Yay!

These are just some of the fantastic happenings in my life of late. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe a winning lottery ticket? hhhhhmmm...
