Make someone else happy...

I was thinking about some of the people I could not live without, and I realized that they all have one thing in common: they routinely do things to make me happy (or to help me help myself be happy... if that makes sense).  I realized that there are people in this world who expend a lot of effort trying to build others up.  I want to be one of those people.  So I'm trying to be even more vocal in giving compliments and thanking people for what they've done for me.  I'm trying to send thoughtful notes to some friends and text messages to others to stay in touch and remind my Purdue buds that I love them!  I'm trying to post on peoples' Facebook walls to make them smile.  Seriously, what is Facebook for?!?!  We might as well use it to brighten our friends' days.

End monologue about happiness...

Now this is something I know will make my sister happy: fashion.  I wore this outfit on Wednesday, and I felt very polished and professional.  Yet I felt like the lace and the soft pink nail polish made it sweet and not too stiff.  Wednesday was a fun day: I got to OJT and go to a plaque hanging (an ADCO got to hang the plaque for the Soyuz mission... holla).   I was going into MCC with two of the MCG (Motion Control Group) Group Leads and feeling a little socially awkward when Estrella (a girl I know from B-Stud) met us on the stairway.  She looked so happy to see me and gave me a great big hug. I could not stop smiling after that encounter.  One awesome thing about NASA is simply how many people on-site know each other... sometimes it seems like a big family!

Anyways, I'm about to go to Tookie's (a restaurant in Seabrook) with some of the co-ops who are already here.  It's supposed to be a great place for hamburgers.  Om nom nom!  Have a happy, relaxing, productive weekend! <3
