Five Things That Have Made Me Very Happy in the Past Week

• Spending time outside, especially running up the canyon and walking across campus, in this amazing fall weather. I wish we could have this weather forever.
  
• Bowls of Archers Farm capellini with broccoli and parmesan cheese and bowls of Archers Farm muesli cereal. (Archers Farm brand is from Target, and we're going there tonight after a friend's piano recital to stock up on more!)
  
• Scale readings that have been heading down despite my bowls of food (I do try to watch my portion sizes!).
  
• Getting invited to a neighborhood girl's night out (dinner and a movie) next week.
  
• Listening to Jack report that he got full credit for a poem recitation at school (10 points for memorization, 5 points for standing up straight and tall, 5 points for a loud and clear voice, total of 20 out of 20).
