Thankful

I had a wonderful day for a lot of different reasons, here are some highlights:

I knew it was going to be a good day when AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long blasted through my radio this morning. First of all, it's just a good song - it's got a good beat, lots of energy and it's sexy.  It's one of those songs that makes you want to shake your booty.  It also makes you believe that whoever you're shakin it for imagines the song is about you. 

But more than that it makes me smile every time I hear it because it reminds me of a time a girlfriend and I decided to sing that song during karaoke.  We got on stage and started singing but it totally didn't work out.  Have you ever really listened to those lyrics? Besides the "she shook me all night long" part? It's just not a song two chicks should sing...we've got the mics, leaning in towards each other singing "she kept her motor clean"...and I just lost it and ended up mostly just laughing and dancing around... it was definitely a fun night and I think about her and that night every time I hear it. So my day started with a good memory.

Then this morning I checked and I have 15 registered exhibitors for our conference!  I'm so pumped! That was my goal and I made it!  And I have a few that I'm still working on so I think I can get even more than that...definitely made my morning.

Then I got a surprise phone call from someone I haven't talked to in years - we didn't get to talk too long but it was great to catch up and it made me feel so special to know that they were thinking of me.  I love phone calls like that...made my day even better.

In addition, I had a fun lunch with the hubby, enjoyed a cupcake, got told by a stranger that I looked lovely, and I didn't have to make dinner.  All things that made me happy.

And after dinner I even ran.  I would like to have said that I kicked butt but sadly, I did not.  Two days of sweets and heavy  meals hurt me.  I considered not running at all but I tossed that thought aside like an old, unworthy lover and got it done.

So I've had an amazing day full of love...and I feel so blessed.
