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 went to the zoo a few days ago!  

I went to go see The Zookeeper this week!

Because I complained to the school that the museum charged me last week, I found out today that I'll be receiving a refund!  Students are supposed to receive free admission but the museum didn't honor that.

Because I bitched at questioned the phone company about why my bill varies so wildly from month to month, I am now getting a fixed rate for the next 5 years AND a $10 discount for the next 12 months!

I officially declared a major this past weekend!  I'm really happy about that because now it feels like I'm actually working towards something.

My volunteer event is DONE for the year and I feel like I did a decent job pulling off the ceremony I created from the ground up!  In the past two years, I made someone else emcee, but I did it myself this year -- SCARY, since I am not a public speaker!

It had been awhile since I've been to the zoo.  I think the last time I went was April of last year because we got in for free for some reason or another.  I was amazed at how much it'd changed since then!  They brought back the butterfly exhibit which I was excited about.  They don't always have it every year and in the past, it always sold out by the time I got there.  We got there shortly after the zoo opened in hopes that we could see that and to feed the giraffes.  Unfortch, the giraffe "experience," as they call it, had been cancelled that day.  Disappointing, however, the butterfly exhibit more than made up for it!  They were all over and several even landed on me.  It was such a cool experience and I loved that some of them had different designs on the top and the bottom of their wings.

Got a few more links from the Doggone Dog Swap.  Check out what Munchkin Memoirs, Mona and Weenie, Amber, and Booker Man and Asa got!  Everyone got their swaps but I'm still waiting on 5 more of you to post what you received.

What's everyone got planned for this weekend?  I've got exactly nada going on and need some ideas.
