This week’s topic is Ten Favorite Song/Movie Remakes.  Two things come to mind when I see this topic: I can’t think of any off the top of my head and most of the time, I hate remakes.  I’m a sucker for originals.   That said, I came up with my own topic this week.

Ten Random Things That Are Making Me Happy Today:

1. The yarn came for my niece’s sweater yesterday.  Its the color of fruit loops.  My girl has long, dark, curly hair and brown eyes – its going to be perfect on her.  She’s a total girly-girl and will love it.  Pics tomorrow.
2. Yesterday brought some unexpected knitting time.
3. Tomorrow is a holiday.  Mid-week days off rock.
4. I have a hair appointment tomorrow – for a cut and color.  Now that I’ve gone super short, its finally time to do something fun with the color.  I’m thinking a few highlights, maybe in a subtle pink/red tone.  I haven’t colored my hair in years and when I did, I always went blonder.  My hair color has gotten so blah.  I can’t wait to do something different!  Pics to come.
5. My other plans for tomorrow – knitting with the grrls for the first time in weeks, maybe a bit of Christmas shopping for the wee ones if I have the time.
6. I feel better, really better, for the first time in 2 weeks.  Yesterday, I went un-medicated all day.  I don’t miss the taste of Robitussin.
7. My morning started off with some Tigger-time.   Really, what better way to start the day than a few minutes of un-interrupted ear scritches, purring and nose-kisses?
8. The headline of today’s Hartford Courant – “Emotional Rell Says ‘Its Time’ to Leave”.  Sweetheart, some of us knew that 4 years ago.  Even so, the news that CT’s governor is not seeking re-election made my day.
9. All 3 of my inboxes (work, Painted Sheep and personal) have less than 20 emails in them each.  This never happens, especially at work.
10. My plans for next week involve airplanes, an amazing conference, a river walk and quite possibly, cowboys.  Any guesses?

That’s what’s making me smile today.  What about you?
