In light of the fact that I've been frustrated lately with things that are out of my control (i.e. family stuff, elections, the stupidity of other people), I've decided to focus on the positive. Brian and I have a really great life in many ways, so here is a list of things that make me happy.
1) Miss A, frequent reader extraordinaire, having her baby late Saturday afternoon. The Hunt family welcomed Olivia May at 5:30 Saturday afternoon. She was 8 pounds 13 oz, 22 inches long, and, from what I hear, is doing great. I spoke to A Saturday night and she sounded great (for having just had an almost 9 pound baby come out of her body). I can't wait to meet her, and she is very lucky, having been born to wonderful people who will be fantastic parents.
2) Nice massages. I had one yesterday and the lady beat the hell out of me. I am sore today, but in a good way. She worked on my neck, shoulders, and upper back a lot, as that is where I carry my stress and worries (see above statement about being frustrated). I have decided to have a massage every couple months to help deal with stress. More evidence is mounting that regular massages promote health and well being. I'm all for that.
3) My cat. I know that may sound silly to those of you who aren't pet people, or cat people, but Jack (Jackylls, as Brian and I have dubbed him) is such a sweet boy (except when he's biting Brian's ankles). Sunday morning when I was managing to sleep in a bit, he clearly wanted me to get up. He climbed all over me and stuck his cold, wet nose all over my face and nudged me like, "Get up, get up! You're supposed to be up!" I love it when he does that, and he breathes on me and almost purrs and is so happy. He's a good boy.
4) Going to Central/Western weekend up in Mount Pleasant this weekend. My aunt and uncle invited Brian and I awhile back. They are Central alums, I am a Western Alum, and Brian is along for the ride. Also, we're seeing Ron White at Soaring Eagle casino Friday, so Brian and I can finally make up for that awful night in February where we went to East Lansing to see Ron White and realized we went on the wrong day. The show had been the night before and we wasted 90 bucks. So Friday we will be vindicated! He better be funny and the game better be good. It would purely be a bonus if we won money at the casino!

Yay for massages and nice cats and seeing Ron White, finally! :) Hope it was a blast.
Olivia and fam are still doing well, though tired, as she likes to have her uncontrollable crying times from 2-5 a.m. each day. Boo. At least she sleeps like a rock the rest of the time. :)
