Smile! It's Monday?

Some days I am inexplicably content. This is one of those days and I've decided to try to get to the root of my blissful disposition:

Birthday Party
I spent all day Saturday mingling with my extended family and clogging my arteries with my grandma's fried chicken at my dad's birthday party. I think I missed my family a lot so that little rendezvous recharged my independence batteries.

Saturday Night
A heart stopping FTA basketball game? A low-stakes Texas Hold 'Em game? A merry, no holds barred soiree with my super friends? Awesome!

Super Bowl Party/Surprise Birthday Party for Paul and Me!!!
The second and final jolly group gathering that was a fitting end to the most enjoyable weekend that I've had since coming back to CS in August.

Sunshine
It was sunny and warm when I woke up on Saturday, Sunday, and today! I wore a t-shirt, cotton capris, and flip flops to class! Granted, I quickly found out that that was a bit of an idealized wardrobe choice, but I couldn't help myself!

Comfort Food
I started eating junk food on Thursday and I didn't stop until this morning and I felt like a big, puffy Michelin Woman all weekend. It was a dietary vacation gone awry but I'm safe once again in the low-calorie refuge that is Weight Watchers. Spinach omelet? Mmm, yes please!

Ear Candy
In November it was Regina Spektor. In December and January it was Snow Patrol. I'd started to get sick of all of my music until I popped Full Moon Fever into my CD player on Saturday and rediscovered Tom Petty for the umpteenth time. I effing love Tom Petty.

Of course, it could be something else entirely...who knows!
