First, let me start off by saying that Lily and Carrie both got sick this week and I'm coming down with a cold too. So, that all sucked. I think the good outweighed the bad, though. Here's why the past seven days have been so good:
- The Phillies won the NLDS.
- I got to play hockey for the first time in about a year.
- It's Danny's birthday!
- Someone from Style.com (the same people who make Vogue Magazine) contacted me because they might feature The Brown Bag Club on their site.
- We had three new showings on our house and came up with a good plan for all of our possible housing scenarios.
- The house we love just dropped $10k in price, which puts it more comfortably in our budget... as long as someone actually buys our house.
- I had a day off and got good rest.
- I had my final dentist appointment and I no longer have a giant cavity in my molar. Also my teeth and gums are both really healthy for the first time in forever.
- Luca Sbisa has impressed the hell out of everyone and may make the Flyers' roster.
- I don't have to go into work this weekend anymore.
- Lily slept until 8:00 a.m. the other day (albeit because she was sick -- but she's better now.)
- I've made good progress on my concurrent freelance projects and am really happy with the way the designs are turning out.
- I got ROTD at Yelp, even though I haven't been active on there in a few months.
- I've been cooking all week and, in turn, eating and feeling better.
- I got an awesome bottle of Polish vodka from Matt's trip to Poland
- I got my allergy prescriptions refilled. So, maybe I can start breathing a little better again.
- Even though I'm unable to attend the short story sharing thing -- Is there an official name yet? -- I have a story idea that I'm really excited about and can't wait to use next month.
- I submitted feature requests for two apps I use (Coda and Doomi) and the developers liked my suggestions.
- The NHL season started.
- The Phillies beat the Dodgers in game 1 of the NLCS!
- The reporter on Fox keeps calling all the highlights from the Phillies' game a "money shot."
Believe it or not, this is just the short list. Yay, good week! Now, please, someone just buy our place!
