1. I'm really bummed out that two of my sparklies are missing in my new glasses and that the frames have been discontinued, squashing the option of replacement frames--but it's kind of nice that I got the upgraded Vera Wang ones ordered tonight for free.

2. I searched in vain last night for a reminder from the distant past that I knew probably wasn't there but that I was praying *was.*

3. A year ago at this time, things were much different for me...and I have a pretty good idea about the big changes of the next 365 days, and how *positive* they're going to be in contrast.
