1. A kid told me I was a good teacher. It was nice to hear.

2. I've decided that the best way to avoid being brought down by someone in particular is to avoid them.

3. My students are moving forward nicely on their projects! I'm proud of the work they're doing!

1. A giant, massive amount of butterflies came out of their chrysalis today! They were EVERYWHERE! It was magically.

2. My Brooks shoes are crazy comfortable!

3. Ismael made me tea because I was coughing. Best.Boyfriend.Ever.

1. An evening with Ismael... perfect.

2. Discovering a new restaurant and reveling in its foods. Fromage on Nolana was an amazing place to eat, great food and ambiance!

3. Wearing my fabulous heels and jeans!

4. (because why limit yourself to three when there's so much good!) The Mary Poppins crepe for dessert and the complimentary champagne to accompany it.

1. I advocated for myself today-- twice. It's hard for me to do this. For some reason, I have trouble saying what I want when I expect to find resistance or make someone feel bad. In turn I chose to feel bad. I don't want to chose to feel bad anymore, so I advocated for myself today.

2. My little buddies came to visit me after school. It's pretty nice to be liked by people.

3. I have my Friday copies already. Yay.

1. I love the shirt I'm wearing today. It makes my eyes GREEN! GREEN! GREEN!

2. It's still raining.

3. I have plans to actually cook dinner tonight, lets hope I stay awake long enough to do it!

1. I know that no matter how busy we both get, Ismael and I will always find time for each other.

2. I bought a projector for my classroom.. it'll be delivered TOMORROW.

3. I wore my Michael Kors jeans today. I love fashion, but I still think anyone who pays the cost of a plane ticket for a purse is INSANE. see the world, yo.

1. I snagged the booth in the corner near the outlet. I win!

2. I went for a walk/run. I have promised myself that I will increase the amount of run and decrease the amount of walk.

3. My scale told me good news this morning.

It's not always easy to focus on the positive, but I know that there always is some. It's been a hard few days this week.

1. My friends Martha and Ian are getting MARRIED in the most amazingly appropriate manner and I can't wait for August 2014!

2. My friend Danielle has awesomeness in her life too!

3. It's rained every day for the past week... what a wonderful thing to see in the desert!

1. Making my Brooks sneakers be comfortable... can't wait to run!

2. Completing my science lesson plans and being creative with some lessons. It's great to have a base to improve from.

3. Watching Newsroom. Finding out what happened to Maggie... and feeling some heartbreak. It's so good to have a tv show that cares about the news.

1. I spent all day with my love. I really could do absolutely nothing with him all day and be happy.

2. A homeless man approached me on the street and asked for money or food. I went and bought him two sandwiches, some fruit, and water. He was so surprised when I came back. I can't imagine being so desperate that I have to ask strangers for help, but if I had to I hope someone would help me. Plus that $15 really didn't hurt me to give away.

3. I bought a sweet pair of shoes! They're cute. They're comfortable. They're stylish. Life is good.

1. I saw a student read my sign on the wall that said "I think your brilliant." She smiled as she walked away.

2. I drank so much water today that I may be hydrated for a week. Yay for increasing health and life.

3. I talked to my Mom and Dad for a good 45 minutes today. Even from a distance they can make me feel good about myself.
