I filmed a segment for a local tv station to talk about TTH. The reporter already sent her friend a Comfort Kit and made a donation...made an impact and it hasn't even aired yet

DH brought home strawberries last night so I melted some chocolate chips for dipping. I saved some chocolate until after the strawberries were gone so I could just eat big spoonfuls of melted chocolate. YUM.

A surprise package arrived containing Harry Potter scented candles! Now I know what Dumbledore's office smells like (amazing, btw). There was no card, so it was fun figuring out who sent it - my awesome SIL.
I love mail, and surprises, and Harry Potter, and candles! So much greatness.

Yesterday, the IRS officially published the final corrected regulations I have been working with them to get corrected for nearly a year!
I'm feeling rather bad ass and get to write up an industry memo regarding the result thus weekend (aka a memo stating how bad ass I and my firm are in getting this done when the rest of the industry just freaked out.)
Honestly, nothing good happened. I had an awful week and a even more awful day yesterday.
One of my bunnies is sick, I'm in a lot of pain from some shots I had to get, we're having some money problems, I had a big fight with H, and I'm also having problems with one of my sisters. I'm just tired and in need of some good things to happen.
I updated my budget with my recent spending and see that unless something crazy happens in the next week, I'm going to come in at least a couple hundred dollars under budget this month. I think this may be the first time in my life this has happened, lol. It's been my goal for months but it seems I almost always go OVER. This is in a month where I had to pay to meet my health insurance deductible and file my taxes, too, so it makes me hopeful I'll do even better in the next few months.

I received an unexpected $13k deposit into my 401k from my company today! <)
My benefits team sent an email this morning talking about this plan that I never heard about, and how I met all of the requirments and a deposit was made. I looked online and it was almost $13k. Apparantly it is something they do in 3 year increments, and in another 3 years, I should see another deposit, as long as I continue to make 401k contributions at the same level I am making right now. This is above and beyond the 8.5% match that they give us. Not a bay way to start my Friday!

Sold 3 stocks last night in an effort to reduce my stock portfolio. They only garnered me a few hundred dollars in the 3+ years I've owned them, which is why I've been holding on to them for too long. I have a bit of buyer's remorse on one; but overall I feel good about my decision.

Thank you for reminding me about these candles.
I saw them before Christmas but they were out of stock. I just sent them to DH's cousin and she is going to loooove them!

We won trivia last night--almost in a runaway (you bet up to 20 points and can win or lose those points.). We were 18 points ahead of every other team before the last question.
We were 19 ahead one week.
My goals are to 1. Win in a runaway. 2. Have a perfect game (we missed one question one game)
I really have no "best" thing from the last 24 hours although last night MH and I had plans to go to dinner after he got home from drinks with former coworkers; he got home much earlier than I expected and said it was because he missed me so much. I melted that he feels this way after 13+ years.
sexy time & received my two pairs of Nikes from Zappos and I love them. In the past, I've stuck to regular colors like white, black or gray. This time I bought magenta\ neon orange, and navy\turquoise \hot pink.
