People may be hesitant to tell someone who is clearly upset and angry about something good that happened to them. Misery usually loves miserable company, and the sad person who can rejoice purely in someone else's good fortune in the midst of her own angst is rare indeed.
But here goes: I brought a plant home from work and it survived the trip. However, if the plant does not continue to thrive, I will know that in your anguish you put an ayin hara on it, and I will get the Rebbetzin from Monsey to put a rebound hex on you. 
I also got strawberries for $1 a box, which is very cheap where I am, and only two of them had to be thrown out. I made a strawberry smoothie and my picky eater child actually drank it. My experimental supper came out fine, even though I forgot to include the egg that the recipe called for. The library had a book I haven't yet read in a series I like, and I did not forget my keys in the library after checkout. I discovered in my hour of need that the library has a restroom for customers -and so what if it's tiny, unisex, and has neither soap nor towels? The door locks, they had running water and toilet paper, and the toilet flushed. Which meant that instead of running home from the library without my book, I was able to get my book AND stop at the greenmarket for the strawberries.
It's the little things in life that count.

The ayin horah lady is not from Monsey. She's visiting Monsey.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!  Thank you so much Louche for your list of good things, and thank you so much Be good for telling me about your baby!! It really did make me happier! And Louche, I hear ya about misery loving company...but not this time. This time I came onto imamother after finding out my bad news, and the first post I noticed was the one about PETA rejoicing in Rubashkin's sentancing...and I was about to click on it, feeling all upset, and then I realized that it was just making me MADDER. And I wanted to hear some good news for a change, as opposed to bad news, to cheer me up. And it worked! It really worked! I was able to greet my husband with a SMILE!!!! Can you believe that? And I was able to listen to him when he told me that it wasn't that bad, and that it would all work out ok.
So thanks guys, I really needed that!!!
And Louche, I did not put any ayin horah on you

 A cry can be cathartic.

My son who is rarely home came home for about 20 hours total. He needed a new suit as he kinda outgrew his old one. We went shopping for other stuff, saw the suit dept, and I told him "I cant afford a suit right now, but lets go see what size u are in case I find one when you are not here". There were 2 racks of $300 suits on clearance for $59. Right size, right color-ds got the suit he needed. Now all I have to do is take in and hem the pants and then have it checked for shatnes-and he will have a suit for his sisters wedding!

thought of that, but then I may lose the markings I made. As I cant return it, and I do the alterations myself, I'm gonna do them first.

Wow. What are you going to do if it turns out to be unusable?

Poor you. Okay. . . happy thought. . . .
The neighbor behind us was mowing his lawn in his underpants today--as usual.
My son and other assorted other people's sons tried to climb over a fence into a pool down the block, and you should have seen the Angry Mother Marching Band stomping back home with a crowd of very nervous-looking 6-yr olds. . . last week the 'we are immortal' gang all decided to cross a main street together. . .
My 10-yr old son's best friend is moving away and here's how they bid each other farewell after 6 yrs of intense friendship:
"Bye."
"Bye. You left your baseball glove on the porch."
"Okay."
My 2 yr old locked himself in a room and then threw himself on the floor sobbing bitterly because he had punished himself by accident.
Final Happy Thought:
My brother, age 8, once put bubble bath in a men's mikva.

My sister in law had a baby girl tonight! Her 4th daughter!
My 8 year old went to the doctor today because she has a wierd birthmark on her toe. Baruch Hashem, it is OK and nothing to worry about!
My one year old (turned 1 last Shabbos!) is adjusting better to regular milk after we switched him from formula. (Still nurses, though, too!)
