DD, MM, & LL for today 9/26/2013

Daily Dozen - Dozen things I'm grateful for

1. Brother Mergen is coming to visit from Mongolia soon
2. Fall is progressing nicely... lots of rain, helping on with the droughts and water shortage of recent years
3. Blogger is actually pretty easy to set up with the domain name I just bought from Go Daddy
4. Udemy gave me the great idea to look closer into Blogger as a platform
5. Work at HealthStyles... I got to do some creative design work on Adobe Illustrator today
6. I forgot to eat breakfast, and arrived at work hungry... having forgotten to bring lunch. Argh. Luckily my coworkers have good stashes to borrow from.
7. Bus system with the new VelociRFTA is doing well. I am able to take advantage of the time savings after all.
8. Last night's family dinner with Isabelle, Melea, Gabe, Boogie, Arslan, Tamir, Elaine, Woo, and Melea's parents... delicious chilli. I made quick corn bread. Boys were so happy.
9. Car handoff at the parking lot worked out well.
10. I had an eventvwr scam from a heavily-accented guy who said he was calling from Microsoft and was seeing a lot of problems on my computer. He called from 324.456.7891. I knew he was a scam because I looked it up as I was talking to him. He hung up pretty quickly after I told him that he was scamming.
11. Noble Samurai lessons are very informative and helpful. I'm glad the software I bought 2 years ago are now at least useful.
12. Today is the first day of many days to come... and I'm as happy as I ever wanted to be.

Magic Moments - So I can capture the best of my life

• "You're welcome" in a friendly voice from a normally gruff person. She sounded genuinely pleased to help me.
• Slept through the night last night. My 1-year-old and 2-year-old both like to wake up and snuggle in the middle of the night... every single night. This is like finding an oasis in the desert. Finally got the rest I needed and look properly non-bleary-eyed.
• Little things... giving text of someone's phone number to brother, saying "yes, you can" to my husband wanting to do something
• Boss said the flyer was "perfect"
• Learning about Market Samurai more. It's pretty awesome. Gabe's going to have to deal with my "investments" from now until I start to make money from this thing called online marketing and stuff.

Lessons Learned - Because there's an opportunity to learn, every step of the way

• Ok, TMI probably but I need to start logging my periods and tell the doc. Today was a TOTAL surprise and I have to say, after being regular for years and years, ever since I had my boys and installed the "no-more-baby" rod, this thing is so irregular and feels like it comes every 2 weeks. Seriously. If I log it, then it's not just my hormonal "feeling."
• You get more done when you really have to pee.... you just start typing and talking faster... LOL j/k Apparently, I didn't really learn much worth learning today.
