Half Full Friday!

Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eyegirl originally started in June 2009.  We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us.  So by participating, I'm deciding to see the glass as half full instead of half empty; I'm choosing to concentrate on the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives.  The Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that.  They're a list of the things in my life that have brought me happiness over the past week.  I'm determined to find something good in each day.  Are you?

For the next week, I'd like to challenge each of you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day.  Be sure to link up here once you've posted your list!  (This isn't a blog hop so please only link up if you've participated by posting your happy list.  Thanks!)

~I'm happy because...

I can see a huge improvement in my father from just a week ago!

 
It didn't rain this whole past week!
 
I enjoyed another red velvet cupcake cappuccino yesterday!
 
The price of gas had gone down by about 7 cents when I went to buy some yesterday! 
 
I saw a flyer at the store for a Dog Walk fundraiser!  Gonna have to go back and check it out again because I can't remember the date and I really wanna take the boys.
 
Sarge and Zona's Mom both joined me for Half Full Friday recently!  And Velvet Over Steel joins me every week, of course!  Please feel free to play along with us.
 
I got some new followers recently!  Welcome!  I just wish I could see who you are so I could follow you back.
 
I won another one of Katie's giveaways!
 
Every one of my rosebushes has buds or is blooming!  So pretty!

This morning, my father meets with the oncologist for the first time, to discuss his options.  I'm really nervous and anxious about this appointment. I'm afraid they're going to say there aren't any options at this point.  Just have to keep my fingers crossed and pray for the best.  He's still at the rehab center getting daily occupational and physical therapy.  We think he'll be there until next Friday. 

 

I was going to post some pix of the chi's for Wordless Wednesday but I wasn't feeling well so I'll carry them over for next week. 

 

So I know not everyone checks their stats.  I like to check mine from time to time but not religiously or anything and can't help but wonder how accurate blogger's stats actually are.  There's one post in particular that seems to pop up almost every single time I check them and I can't figure out why it's so popular.  It's not like it's an earth shattering post or anything - it's one where I'd gotten an award and passed it on to other bloggers.  I think it's about a year old which makes it all the more curious.  And plus when I look at the referring urls/sites, sometimes I'll find one I've never heard of before so I'll click on it and for the life of me, I can't figure out how anyone ever found my blog from it.  It has nothing to do with me in any way, shape or form and doesn't even link to me.  (For instance, someone found my blog from a roofing website in another state recently.  Huh?!)  Has anyone else noticed stuff like this when they check their stats or is it just me?

 

I had an interview last week for an office assistant job on campus.  I didn't get it but I kind of knew I wouldn't.  During the interview, one of the two ladies said that they tend to hire people right out of high school so that they can help students build working skills and that I already had them since I've been out in the workforce.  She called to let me know the bad news and asked if she could share my resume and praised my past experience.  I told her I'd be thrilled if she shared it but I'm not expecting anything to come of it.  I've had other interviewers say they'd do the same thing in the past and it never got me anytwhere.  You never know though.  I also had an interview for an internship just over a week ago.  Still haven't heard anything which really surprises me because she made sure to keep in touch regularly up until the day before we met, sending me an email saying she couldn't wait to meet.  She did say she wanted to work with me either way, whether I got the internship or not.    At this point, I'm just going to presume I didn't get it and that she's waiting for another project to open up before she contacts me again.
