My Last 24 Hours Ruled
August 6th, 2008
My life is pretty great overall, but the past 24 hours have been quite stellar. Let’s discuss:
- SummerMash Boston: Boston had been looking forward to this hot party for months, and last night it was finally here. Pete and the gang showed us a good time at the Roxy on Tremont St., with drinks, food, music, photos, networking, hugs, high-fives and prizes keeping the night going strong. Oh, did I mention prizes? Yeah. That. Last night I put one SHIFT business card into the running for a pass to SXSW–and I won! It was funny, because I had been saying that I never win things, and then Karen Hartline called my name. Totally wild. I’m thrilled. Thank you to Mashable for a great night out and for handing out such a sweet prize.
- Move-in Date: September 1 is the absolute worst day in Boston every year. Thousands of students are moving back, young adults who’ve graduated but still live here are switching places, roommates are shuffling around… it’s just awful. And that’s my move-in date. But wait–my awesome realtor told me that the people in my new place are moving out 6 days early, so I don’t have to move on the darkest day in Beantown. FTW!
- Positive Feedback: Today I’ve just been feeling like my work has been appreciated, that people are saying thank you, and that my efforts in various endeavors haven’t gone unnoticed. It’s a good feeling. And please, let’s take it one step further, outside of my little life–tell someone in your life that you appreciate what they do for you, or say thank you where you otherwise wouldn’t. It means a lot to hear it, sometimes more than you may expect.
- SYTYCD: The finale performance show is tonight, it’s awesome, and I love it.

I am so mind-blowingly jealous of your moving news. You have no idea how much I am dreading September 1st – you’ve just motivated me to call my realtor tomorrow in hopes that, by some miracle, he’ll tell me my apartment is in a similar position. (Fingers crossed.)
Did I say you could win? I think so. It’s something I would have said when I heard you say you don’t win things. Now you win things. Enter more drawings.
Sounds like an amazing day!! GRATS GRAVS!
SummerMash Boston sounds fun!
Every now and then, it seems the stars align and you have one of those terrific days where you can do no wrong and everything is right with the world. Congrats that you just had one – keep that good feeling in the forefront of your mind. I especially like your comment on passing it around – others feel wonderful when sometimes just a small word of encouragement or thanks can make all the difference in their day. Keep up the good work honey!! xo
