What Are You Happy About Today?

[.: Meri :.]

☾ My parents and I watched an episode each of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Fairy Tail this morning!
☾ I did my entries for Lyrical Limericks and Tiny Toy Jamboree! I'm still not very used to poetry, but I had fun with both of these. ^^
☾ Played Pokémon Platinum for a bit, and played a lot of Legends: Arceus later! I even caught a shiny Burmy in the Cobalt Coastlands!! ;v;
☾ I made another rubber band bracelet too, and used up the last of another color of bands!
☾ My mom helped talk me through a much-needed change of mindset that I'm hoping will stick—long story short, I have a bad habit of getting way too uptight with myself over the silliest things.

Anyways, this third car is the highlight of the update for me, and it might be something that @/LadyDestani would like to hear even though I know for a fact that she'll never play any of the Gran Turismo games lol. The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray has finally been added to the game!

That's awesome! And I don't know that I'd never play Gran Turismo. I like racing games, but I don't usually invest money in them. If I had the chance to play it at a friend's house or something, then I definitely would.

I have soooo many reasons to be happy today!
- I slept really well last night and got to sleep in this morning. I needed the rest badly.
- I had a pretty relaxing day at home with my husband and my dog.
- We have hot water again! The contractors forgot to turn the hot water back on when they left Friday. Luckily, one of them stopped by briefly today to pick up some tools and fixed that for us.
- The Minnesota Vikings came back from a 33 point deficit to win today and clinch the division! It was the biggest comeback in NFL history!
- I completed my entries for Chipper Confections and Lyrical Limericks and submitted them.
- I won a Glam Feather in 12 Days of Collectibles!!! The most beautiful feather! I feel so lucky!

-I went to a family Christmas get-together. The food theme this year was Italian food, and it was all super good. I ate way too much. I had a lot of fun and laughs with Ugly Santa. I got another Edward Cullen blanket while playing Ugly Santa that my cousin had brought. Apparently, she bought two of them and used the first one last year (which I won) and the second one this year (which I also won). So now I have two identical Edward blankets, but I'm not complaining.
-Started re-watching The Walking Dead. I'm already on season 4, and I'm not excited to re-watch this season.
-My best friend brought over my Christmas present early since she'll be out of town on Christmas week. She got me an adorable Monica the Axolotl Squishmallow! I love her so much
-Only a week until Christmas!

I've finished all my shopping and wrapping (except one item that can't be wrapped until just before gifting), so I'm treating myself to pizza for lunch.

- The christmas presents I ordered arrived today!! So happy because I was scared their delivery would get messed up due to the Royal Mail strikes, I feel pretty relieved

 

[xSuperMario64x]

happy I got to leave work a bit early so I could come home and eat, it's cold and snowy outside and I'm gonna go curl up in my toasty bed w my doggo and watch poofesure lol

also found a new video editing software that actually works on my computer, only problem is I have to learn how to use it bc its functions are similar but quite different from Openshot's. but now I can finally go back to editing and uploading videos

edit: to add onto this I just woke up from taking a nap and I feel a bit better now, still groggy but I'm happy to be able to rest for a bit.

I've had a good couple of days.

• I spent Friday night and most of Saturday at my best mate's house. It's the first time since February we've met up one-on-one; usually our meet-ups also include our SOs. We've been friends since 1995, she's practically my sister, so it's nice to get to spend some time just us now and then.
  • Her fiancé was away on a lads weekend, yet he treated us to pizza for dinner and then further surprised us with a second delivery containing chocolate fudge cake, churros, and ice cream.
  • She also gave me a Christmas present! I wasn't expecting that. She gifted me Lord of Misrule shower gel and bath bomb from Lush (LoM is my favourite scent family).
• I completed The Last Campfire on PS4 in one sitting last night. Adorable game.
• I completed Matsunaga Hisahide's storyline in Samurai Warriors 4-II this evening, including achieving 100% of objectives.
• I've just poured a glass of red wine and I'm about to put on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) to finish up the weekend. It's one of my go-to movies at Christmastime and I've been feeling the urge to watch it for a few days. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is a little too unhinged for my girlfriend's tastes, whereas that's the thing I love most about it, so a night we're apart is the best time to watch it.
• On that note... date night tomorrow!
  • We were supposed to be going to a Christmas pub quiz with her flatmates, but other people pulled out, so we're turning it into a cosy night in with a movie, popcorn, and drinks. I can't wait!

 

[hugs]

I'm happy to eat out for dinner with my boyfriend and his friends today! I haven't seen them in weeks because of clinicals.

 

[Kitsuragi]

I'm happy because Hanukkah starts today
And Christmas is a week away!!

I love being in a multicultural house because December is like one big holiday

⟡ I ended up hanging out with a friend at an arcade type place and it was a blast. My favorite game was the Mario Kart racing one. I played the hell out of that.
⟡ I won a Donkey Kong plush there. Donkey Kong is my main character for Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart, so it made me happy to get him. They also had Mario and Yoshi.

Spoiler: Donkey Kong

Spoiler: obviously I couldn’t care less about the face capture

This was the only time I won, lmao. My friend won the other five times. I’m bitter he beat me, haha.

⟡ I discovered that I’m amazing at air hockey. I enjoy playing it so I’m happy it’s a talent of mine. I also played a bunch of roulette and other sport games. They had a giant sloth plush in the gift shop and I instantly thought of my favorite person because she says her spirit animal is a sloth, lol.
⟡ I saw my favorite person afterwards. I missed her even though it’s only been two days, lol. She whispered “I love you” in my ear and we hugged for, like, 20 seconds. Typical amount of time for us, lol.
⟡ I picked up some white peppermint chocolate I found delicious last time I ate it. Additionally, I picked up some frozen cocktails I’m excited to try. I’m not much into alcohol but it is sometimes good.

-I got to be lazy today and continue watching Season 4 of The Walking Dead. I was able to control myself during the sad parts.
-I found my Tomodachi Life! I really thought I lost it but it was in my case all along. I honestly thought it was Mario so I didn't bother to check. All that worrying over nothing.
-Yesterday I had a pretty painful crick in my neck, but it went away today.
-Drove to my grandmother's house to drop off a Rutabaga for her. Pretty random, but she wanted one. It was nice to see her again, even though I saw her yesterday. I always cherish short little interactions with my family.
-My brother gave me his AirPods since his girlfriend's parents bought him new ones. I've never bothered to buy a pair, so it's cool to finally see what the hype was about them.
-This is my first time really participating in a TBT event, and I'm absolutely loving it!

 

[AngelKitty]

I won a contest here on TBT forums and got more TBT than I have ever seen before. Wasn't expecting to win at all. Thank you Kuriboh! You brightened a bit what has been a dismal weekend in my neighborhood.

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept really well last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I completed my first gift exchange for the event.
- I went to my mom's and got to take a shower for the first time in a week. I feel so much better right now!
- I got to see my mom's cat and she was very affectionate today. I also got to see some of the stray cats my mom feeds.
- My husband vaccuumed while I was gone so the house looks like less of a disaster.
- My dog is being cute and snuggled up with me on the couch.
- I ordered a present for my mother-in-law. I think she'll love it!
