My Bullety, Listy Week.

[trista]

• Monday was nice. I spent a large part of the evening curled up with a cat, watching television shows. And I had loads of olives, which satisfied my bizarre, once-quarterly food cravings, and tasty sandwiches for dinner. This made me very, very happy.
  
• I went to Carl Hiaasen's book signing thingy on Tuesday. I love his books, and I very much enjoyed listening to him talk about them. I bought both of the kids' books and the only one of his books for grownups that I hadn't read, and he signed them all. He was pretty much exactly what I expected based on his books, and that is a glorious thing. I really liked him. Also, it was nice to hear a Florida accent.
  
• Yesterday was a fantabulous day. Things went really well at work. Not that they don't generally, but yesterday just really felt good. Ran errands after work, then spent the rest of the evening just sort of hanging out. That part of the day was fantabulous, too.
  
• I am beyond cute today. I am wearing my boots! The heel is low (An inch and a half? Two inches? Low enough to be almost non-existent.) and square, so I'm not all that worried about another Ankle Incident. So I'm wearing them and loving them. Also, pink quite suits me, as do fluffy sweaters. Therefore, me in a pink fluffy sweater is the cutest thing evar. And my earrings match spectacularly well because I made them with this sweater in mind. I am in lurve with me today.
  
• My ego is out of control.
  
• I'm okay with that.
  
• It's awfully chilly today. I knew it would be colder here than in Florida when I moved. I really did. I think it's going to take me an entire year to adjust to it, though. It gets like this in Florida. In November. *shriek* I saw people walking around outside in sweaters. I was wearing a sweater, too. And my long wool coat. I think the Minnesotans (Minnesotese? Minnesota-ites? Minnesotians?) are laughing at me the same way I laughed at tourists from The Frozen North who wore shorts in April in Florida because they were dying of the sweating. The cute cook at D. Brian's laughed at me for being cold. At least all the laughing is good natured. And I am able to laugh at myself, so maybe that counts for something. Let's hope so.
  
• I had a talk with myself this week and made a decision. I don't like other people's negative attitudes. I really, really don't. It's reasonable to assume that when I'm wallowing in negativity, it's just as irritating to the people around me as it is to me when they are all wallowy in the negative. So. I'm going to make a serious effort to control the negativity. I am ordinarily a very positive, optimistic person, and that's been slowly slipping and changing. I'm getting back to that, though.
  
• Also, I've realized that I don't accept compliments gracefully anymore. I used to, but lately I've done a poor job of it. I'm working on that, too. I've recently been told that I have a nice laugh and a pretty smile. I'm going to choose to believe that.
  
• While we're talking about compliments, I want to know about the compliments The FriendBots get. What's the nicest compliment you've had this week?
