My sister's loaning me $50 to get me over my financial dry spell this month, and she doesn't want me to pay her back. Instead, she asked that I pay for dinner once when I see her and her husband-to-be in Las Vegas this Thanksgiving, which I was going to do anyway! And I didn't even ask for it!
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I may not have to find a new job for another year.
A new neighborhood restaurant I tried a few weeks ago (and loved!) will be reviewed in the NYT tomorrow, and I'm strangely excited. Two stars, baby!

Um, my basement is almost dry? (Well, it's good news to me!)
And I'm going to SF, too!

I am checking in this document from hell that I've been working on for weeks RIGHT NOW! And then sending the link to it to a co-worker who actually will use it and provide me with feedback that will actually be useful sometime this week! This is unprecedented!
Also, my band wrote an insanely catchy jingle for an organization for which my drummer (who is in advertising) is working. It's not a sure thing they'll use it but they'll pay us if they do and if nothing else we wrote a really fun little pop song in about 1/2 an hour!

I just ordered a bunch of Cole Porter-y goodness.
My dad decided that since he doesn't like steak anymore, he should give me about 2 pounds of filet mignon. (I'm not sure how he got there either, but I'm not arguing with dad-logic.)
Mom will probably be coming home from the hospital this Friday.

I'm calling a Good News alert.
It looks like the sun might come out again sometime this millenia.
I finished a test plan and have my test environment ready, so I can blow off the rest of the day.

I ate good Indian food for lunch.
I get to leave work and go pick up my great kid now.

I had another thing! I am about to go to the post office to a) mail Nicole the last few eps of BSG that are long overdue to her and b) mail a box containing 40 things that start with 'L' to my friend Laurel for her 40th birthday. I hope she finds the present as funny to receive as I did to put together.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tell me your good news. Even if it's just a very yummy lunch. Need to hear about happiness.
I just spent a week drinking rum drinks on a beach Puerto Rico while my family kept the kids--and my husband's employer is picking up most of the bill.
