Things that made me 'blah' today...

People who don't use their blinkers when driving - ok, this is a lifetime annoyance, but seemed to notice it more today
The random cold that has snuck up on me today for no reason {cough, sniffle, cough}
That it hasn't rained in like two weeks and it's still sooo hot -- fingers crossed it rains later this week
My puppy Willow wanting to go outside every five minutes - not to pee or poop - but to eat sticks and pinecones
The fact that I can never get to bed before 11pm...ok, who am I kidding, before midnight.
Wedding vendors not being cooperative, not doing their job, trying to add on ridiculous extra charges, etc. I'm looking at you Mr. hotel and Ms. reception hall!
The fact that wedding vendor stress (see #6) made me have a mini 30 sec. cry session
Work and work stuff.
A shrinking bank account.
It's only Monday.

Things that made me happy today...

Bridesmaid appointment at Bella Bridesmaid downtown with best friend Jtay, and I think we've found the dresses!
Large tumbler glasses that fit a LOT of coffee in them to keep me motivated through a blah Monday
The fact that I now drink coffee (officially a coffee drinker for a full week - lol!)
Gloria Akalitus on tonight's Nurse Jackie episode did the blowing in the raisin box to make a whistle trick -- I used to do this ALL the time when I was little. I forgot about it until tonight.
Daniel Island Hip Hop classes on Monday nights that take my mind off stress for 2 hours -- because I'm focusing so hard on learning the dances and trying to keep up...but also getting a killer workout
My puppy Willow - he can drive me crazy, but one snuggle and kiss from him makes me fall in love all over again
Unexpected friendships -- found out today that someone I wouldn't expect to had booked her flight to Vegas for my bachelorette
Packages on my doorstep when I get home from work with goodies from RueLaLa
An awesome fiance who not only takes over dog duty for the night, but also takes the Netflix movie back so I don't have to take the extra trip to Publix
Remembering this past weekend and knowing that we have another weekend coming up in Charleston with another Happy Hour and another beach day...#10 will get me through this week alone...{sigh}
