There was no Microsoft in 1498.

Here are my three good things for today:

1.  I love fall weather!  So much!! I am now officially in the mood to carve a pumpkin.* It was the most perfectly beautiful day outside—crispy in the morning, cool in the afternoon, and should be stupendous sleeping weather tonight. I went to Kohl's after work in the hopes of expanding my wardrobe to include some long-sleeved shirts (apparently I got rid of all of mine in a fit of insanity a few months ago), but couldn't find anything that looked like it would retain it's structural soundness after a wash. Bummer, but it was so nice outside that I didn't really care :)

2.  Alison and I debated the merits of the word "concatenate."  From the Latin concatenare, to link together. We determined that it is perfectly acceptable to use outside of computer-data-related conversation, as the first known usage of the word was in the fifteenth century. That is definitely pre-Excel.  

3.  I finished my homework!  I feel like I'm in high school again.  Sheesh.


What are your three good things?


*I don't know why I'm getting so excited for Halloween this year. It's probably because I have an awesome costume. Also, I love holidays.

  2. It is really a positive experience to write down every three things that went good in your life daily. I have created a post titled "Three Good Things" too. I hope you don't mind!
