Things that made my life happy today and tonight:

*a night of good sleep followed by a breakfast of cookies and tea

*putting a fresh, soft, wet, smooth pair of new contacts in my eyes

*listening to new age music (thank you Audio Visions) and stretching/rolling around in the dark. Balance balls are a fucking awesome invention!

*watching the episode of Northern Exposure where Satan comes to town in the form of a jacuzzi salesman with a pet goat

All of that makes me feel like I live in the lap of luxury.

Here's what I was working on last night and today: web-whore.com. It's not totally finished, but it needed to be done. Last night I just happened to be in the mood to doodle around with design ideas and was just playing with pretty colors and fonts (always fun, especially if you don't *have* to do it). After playing and closing out about 25 files/ideas for other sites, I returned to basic black, white and red and started on that, which leads me to another thing I'm thankful for: being able to fuck around and sometimes have it turn into something useful. I know it's nothing fancy, but you'd be surprised how hard it is (for me, anyway) to make something simple.

Also thankful for all my nice friends on twitter who gave me good/nice feedback on it. I like warm fuzzies and it really does help to get outside affirmation.

I'm ready for bed and a good bedtime book now.
