Ok! Today I'm being much happier. Did you know if you make yourself smile, it can trick your mind into releasing serotonin that makes you feel happier? So... smiling I can do! ...the hair... not so much... Not fake. Don't worry... I'm really truly feeling happier today. Still achy, still tired, but much better. Thank you for your words of encouragement! So, you know how I'm starting a new website (I just had to retype that word 3 times because I kept typing wesbite... hmm...)? Well, I haven't been able to work on it too much yet, but I DID get a Canon 40D which just happens to be one of the most incredible cameras EVER! I'm learning how to use it and how to edit pictures... slowly... but I'm so excited about it! I'm not becoming a professional photographer so when my site gets something on it, keep that in mind. But I'm hoping that by the end of the summer I'll have enough stuff on there to share it with everyone and people can start using it! yay!
At work we have to give out awards to our top students in our classes. If you teach 100 kids or less, which I do, you can only choose 3 people to give an award to. ugghh... I hate choosing! There are always way more than 3 people who deserve the award. And then after the ceremony, the other kids in your class will hear who got the award and I'm sure some of them feel kind of strange as to why they didn't get chosen. Honestly I'm sure it's much more of an emotional strain on me than them, but I just would never want any of them to feel any like I didn't want to give them an award. I'm really not playing into that whole mindset of "everyone's a winner!" but there truly are A LOT of my students who work really hard that deserve to be recognized publicly. hmm... I love those kids.

You're tired and achy but can still manage to apply eyeliner?
Amanda, you're the daughter my mother always wanted. ;)
@Terroni I've known Amanda for a dozen years and she never goes without eyeliner. Ever.
Amanda, I must say I'm *very* curious about this website. Care to give a clue to the admiring fans?
PS: I tried the smiling thing, you're right, it does work!
Susan that is so true.
I tried the smiling thing, too. It sort of made my face hurt. I decided maybe I have to work up to it. I'm going to start with just smirking.
I'm happy your happy! I hope to see you April 18th at our playdate! ;-)
I'm so glad that you're feeling better. Smiling and laughing really can change your day around I have found. As for the awards, haha, I know what you're talking about and since it was only two years ago that I was a high school student I understand the other side too. They don't care. I don't remember who won those awards, so neither will they. Good luck!
Hahah I also have moments where I can't type a certain word, no matter how hard I try, lol!
As for the awards, Sarah's comment is probably right, about how they won't remember it.
