This morning as I headed to work it was starting to sleet, which seriously dampened my mood.

This video has been making the rounds, and it brings out the utter romantic in me - the look on the bride's face really gets me.

This week's things that make me happy is a completely random smattering:

Through erl-queen's fantastic post about her Alice Day celebrations I was ridiculously pleased to discover that my birthday is the day that Alice went through the Looking Glass! First my birthday becomes Obama Day and now this - birthdays don't get much better ( Read more... )
