Today is a very, very good day

Know what makes today a very, very good day? Let me count the ways. . .

-I had a lunch meeting at a very, very cool local restaurant; the only restaurant in town that serves a truly "green" salad without Romaine or Iceburg lettuce (I can't eat either). And, they put this incredible melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese and balsalmic vinagrette dressing on it.

-While at lunch I spied my mom's retired ladies group and stopped to say hello. One of the ladies pulled me to the side to discuss the fact that she has begun knitting socks. We were both so excited that I think we squealed and talked for over 15 minutes before I had to rejoin my group.

-I have been curious about the arrival of my federal tax refund. I tend to mail mine early as it's pretty simple and since I was getting a nice return, I was a little anxious for its arrival. I checked online (www.irs.gov) and learned that it was expected to be directly desposited tomorrow. I literally danced.

-I originally had plans for tonight with a friend. I love spending time with said friend, but I am a little tired after a late night. She rescheduled, so I got the best of both worlds: a night at home and a promise of quality time next week.

I am certain that all of this good luck has befallen me due to good cleaning living and you can't convince me otherwise.
