It’s been a rough week. My anxiety level has been super-duper high and I’ve been doing my very best to not let it get to me, but I’m feeling overwhelmed. Being between two houses is really throwing me out of my groove, and I’ll be so relieved when we’re finally moved in to the new house. We were supposed to be done moving on Sunday, but the weather didn’t cooperate. *Sigh*
I think Grace is feeling out of sorts too.
Anyway, in an effort to calm my nerves, I thought I’d make a list of some things that are making me happy right now. Always better to focus on the bright side, right!?
The move should be over this week. We should be in our new house this weekend. Then we won’t have to move again for at least a year. (Hopefully our next move will be to a home we are buying!)
Very soon, I will have a real kitchen to cook in again, and I can unpack all the kitchen gadgets that I never had room for at our old place. I can start baking again! The first thing I want to make are my carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
I splurged and finally ordered my first Gussy bag today! When Maggie posted about her new “Not Your Grammy’s Clutch” on her blog today, I knew I had to have one. The pastel colors are too darn cute! For-serious. Check it out …

Mom and I made plans to make grape jelly together next month when the concord grapes come in season. I’ve made freezer jam (strawberry and raspberry) before, but never canned jelly. I’m excited to learn!
When I came home tonight, our cable TV and Internet were still on! (They’re turning on our service at the new house tomorrow, but they didn’t say exactly when our old service would be shut off, except that it would be some time before the new service was turned on.) SO that means that I don’t have to miss the new episode of Pretty Little Liars tonight! (Shuddup.)
We’ve picked up several new-to-us/used DVDs from Buy Backs recently and also a couple $5 DVDs from Dollar General. Yay for cheap movies!
What’s been making YOU happy this week?

I wish you lived closer too!!
Hmmm… perhaps I should start using these carrot cakes to bribe you, now that I’ve found your weakness…
I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so anxious lately. Hopefully as things die down you’ll start to feel back to normal again. New places never feel like home to me, which can overshadow the excitement of moving in the first place. Silly brain. lol
Maybe a glass of wine to help settle the nerves? ;)
