Last week, I scheduled myself for way too many things. The events themselves were amazing, and totally worthwhile, but it sent me into a swirl of anxiety that I’m having a hard time getting out of. I went to the doctor, and today I’m heading to the dentist (because apparently I was grinding my teeth hard enough to actually do some damage!), but I’m just trying to take care of myself so I can get back out there doing all the fun stuff I want to do so badly!

Times like this are super important to remember the good in life, though, even if it hurts to stare at a computer screen. So without any more complaining from me, here are ten things making me happy and a giveaway!

PS – Monday was technically the day that I needed all your submissions from Round 3 of the Snail Mail Game Show. If you’re running late, you’re in luck because I’m sick! I’m going to extend it for another couple days till I can get to the post office. (And yes you can e-mail me to sign up for Round 4 now if you want.)

PPS – My birthday is coming up, and what I’d really like is to get to 2,000 “likes” on Facebook. If only a third of my fans on there recommend me to someone else, I’d hit the mark by the end of the day! I promise that when I hit that milestone, I’ll do something amazing for you lovely people. So spread the word! Okay, onto the real stuff…
