In honor of my new blog header (that Almanzo was up till two in the morning fixing after I botched it on Photoshop…don’t ask), and because you guys are so supportive every day, I want to bake you some cookies!
The winner can choose between brown butter chocolate chip, sugar or oatmeal chocolate chip (can be made vegan if you prefer). Just leave a comment on this post telling me one GOOD thing about your day. It could be anything (for example: you packed a really awesome lunch and can’t wait to eat it). Just make it positive!
Like always, I’ll pick a random winner tonight by 10 PST.

August 19, 2010 at 10:10 amI really really like the header Jenna. Kudos to Almanzo.
Umm…I won a giveaway on another person’s blog for Raw Crunch granola bars. That was such a nice perk for me. That is the good bit of news I’ve had in eons!
(This depends, of course, on whether they will even taste good) . 🙂

August 19, 2010 at 10:11 amMy day started off great, got up early and laced up my running shoes, and I was out the door within 5 minutes of getting up. Did 2 miles along the ocean front here in my beautiful Downeast Maine seaside village. The sun dappled across my path, wildflowers, butterflies, and the smell of salt water were my companions. Got back and had a tall iced coffee! Good Morning Indeed!

try a new route and . . .
at the end stretch, lie on our couch and chat to my friend who is days away from having her first child after 7 years of trying, while eating a bowl of healthy pasta w/ goat cheese. It will be worth it!! 🙂

Sarah
August 19, 2010 at 10:25 amHi Jenna!
I’m a relatively new reader and huge fan. You’re awesome, and I love the new header.
Here’s why my day is super fantastic: By 10:00 am, I had already run 6.7 miles, ate breakfast, done a load of laundry, made my brother breakfast, packed him a lunch, drove him to school, spent an hour feeding/grooming our horses, and taken a shower. And the BEST part is that it’s still only 10:25. I’ve seriously never been this productive, ever.
Ilana

My eating has not been great (I am pretty only stomach bagels with gobs of butter, like a hangove diet!) but I made a committment to get back on track today no matter how I am feeling. For lunch I had a ham sandwich on whole grain bread with a cup of strawberries! As minor as that may be, it made me feel great that I am on track to provide my baby with good nutrition!!

After a couple of hectic days, today I decided to just sit down on my couch, with a steaming cup of cinnamon leaf tea, my two cats and a book of your book list and just spent the whole afternoon reading in complete silence.
It was awesome.

I just came back from a delicious lunch on an outside patio with a really old friend from high school. She is studying in BC right now so I rarely get to see her and although I was stressed out about leaving work when things are so crazy, I think it was just the break during the day that I needed!

August 19, 2010 at 10:56 amReally really really want to try those brown butter chocolate chip cookies!

Pick me!
Katherine
August 19, 2010 at 10:56 amI love the new header! It definitely fits you well.
There have been a few not-good things in my life today, but luckily, lunch was a shining star of hope in the form of the first every omelette I’ve ever made. I added grated zucchini and orange pepper and some shredded mozzarella and it was delicious.
Lauren

Elizabeth
August 19, 2010 at 11:00 amMy good thing is that I just gave a presentation to a group of 50 6th-grade girls about how they CAN go to college and nothing is out of their reach (I work in college admissions). It was awesome to hear them ask about being a doctor of lawyer!
Chelsea

Nicole K
August 19, 2010 at 11:01 am***My day ROCKS because we are having tile and hard wood floors installed in our house today! We have worked so hard to call this place home for our (almost 1 year old) son! And it is too hot here in FL to bake cookies, but they sound so yummy! =D If you send us cookies I’ll give one to my son and take a picture for you! He has never had anything to eat besides his milk and a few fruits and veggies! I bet he would love love love to try a chocolate chip cookie!***
Ellie
August 19, 2010 at 11:01 amLove the new header, it’s a great representation of all that you love!
Today, I got a good appraisal at work. I work with homeless people, and a good appraisal means I am doing things which are helping them. I am pleased!
Peace! xx

JessicaB
August 19, 2010 at 11:01 amI’ve had a couple good things happen today. First lots of cinnamon on my cereal this morning (always A+ in my book). My neice and I also went over to her place to see her puppies, which are adorable and 4 weeks old! Soooo cute!
Kelly
August 19, 2010 at 11:01 amThe new header is awesome! Good job Almanzo!
The best thing about my day is that I’m alive and have the opportunity to make a difference today. I woke up and put my feet on the floor and drew breath in my lungs. Don’t laugh cause I know it’s corny. But some days that’s all you have to hold onto and keep you from going crazy.
lcgrant03
August 19, 2010 at 11:02 amOne good thing today was my morning walk. Usually, I run, but due to a recent injury walking is all I can do. It’s a nice change of pace since I can really enjoy the scenery for once.
Kerry
August 19, 2010 at 11:02 amA few good things:
I have the opportunity to win cookies
I just ate a bag of chilled peanut M&M’s
I look good in my pencil skirt
I am going on vacation next week
I am learning to focus on what is going RIGHT and this exercise certainly helped.

Jeannie
August 19, 2010 at 11:03 amThis is SO appropriate for me today… because after going through a rough breakup this weekend I’m finally picking up the piecess. Best thing to happen: I got in the car to go to work this morning and U2s “It’s a Beautiful Day” was on… I turked it up, and reveled in the beautiful day that is today.
Megan
August 19, 2010 at 11:03 amMy kids telling me they loved me when I dropped them off at school. And the hummingbirds outside my kitchen window….it’s the little things, I tell ya, that make this and every day so bright!

Elli @ 16 and Losing It
August 19, 2010 at 11:04 amOne good think about today was my lunch. I was trying to make this “Protein Pizza” thats basically a pizza on egg whites instead of a crust. I didn’t have enough eggs I found out and it became more of a pizza omelet than a pizza but it was amazing. Definitely one of the best omelets I have ever had!
HeatherDee
August 19, 2010 at 11:04 amI love that reading your blog has made me look for the positive today – thank you!
The best thing about my day so far is that 2 friends have agreed to meet me for a run later, and I’m really excited about it! 🙂
Caitlin
August 19, 2010 at 11:04 amToo many good things – homemade granola for breakfast, in and out of the DMV in 5 minutes (!!), and meeting a new friend for lunch at an awesome Mediterranean place. And when I get home, peanut butter cookies!

melissa
August 19, 2010 at 11:05 amThis morning I went to yoga and the teacher read my mind as to what I wanted to work on. I almost had to ask her if I had mentioned that I wanted alot of twists today…and twists we got! It’s amazing the power of the mind…just believe!
carly
August 19, 2010 at 11:05 amIt’s hard to pick just one thing, but I think the best part of my day so far has been getting ready for my dad’s visit tomorrow!
Sarah
August 19, 2010 at 11:05 amI worked early this morning so I could watch my fiances Daughter and make cupcakes with her while he takes his Son to the Red Sox Game!

Becky
August 19, 2010 at 11:06 amToday I met a man at the gym who is near 60 and training for his first marathon and a BQ! I was so impressed. He had the passion of a young boy and was beaming with excitement as he talked. It was a great conversation!
Jessie (Bites and Pieces)
August 19, 2010 at 11:06 amOooh, those cookies look fabulous! The highlight of my day is doing a relaxing yoga session later. Can’t wait!
Monica
August 19, 2010 at 11:06 amI just had lunch with my bff! And it was delish along with the company =)
Marianne
August 19, 2010 at 11:06 amIt’s one day closer to Friday which is a big fat positive in my book!! And I had a good laugh at myself when I realized that I had put my underwear on inside out (this is what happens when you dress yourself at 530am in the dark) and proceeded to undress in work bathroom and about fell over into the stall door!! 🙂 Can we say loud boom…thank goodness nobody was in there (double positive!).
jds
August 19, 2010 at 11:06 ammy mom’s in town and we’re going out to dinner tonight! and a cute boy that i met this weekend texted me…

Amisha
August 19, 2010 at 11:07 amI found the best breakfast bar at a local farmers market today. It’s so yummy!
Jen K.
August 19, 2010 at 11:07 amBest part of my day – sharing the morning with my sweetie – we don’t ever cross paths in the am (on different schedules) – and the fact that we did made my morning glorious!
Cynthia (It All Changes)
August 19, 2010 at 11:07 amBest thing about today is I didn’t get bummed when the pool was closed and I couldn’t do laps. Instead I made a lunch date with Hunni and relaxed.
Oatmeal vegan chip please.
Erin P.
August 19, 2010 at 11:08 amOne good thing about my day is that I didn’t poke my eye out when I ran into a tree limb on my walk to work this morning! It’s the little things in life that make you thankful 😉
P.S. I love your blog! This is my first reply ever but I’ve been secretly following it for a few months now. Thanks for putting a smile on my face everyday!
Edith
August 19, 2010 at 11:08 amEven though I had class at what I’ll call the “crack of dawn” 😉 this morning, I threw leftovers into a container for a healthy and cheap lunch! And it was delicious 🙂
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat)

I made an awesome smoothie this morning. I know that doesn’t sound that epic, but I usually fail at making smoothies, so I was pretty excited.
Katie
August 19, 2010 at 11:09 amI’ve had a great day so far…it’s moving day! After a long summer of waiting I am finally getting settled into a new apartment off campus at school and ready for another great school year. The best thing about not living in the dorms? I NOW HAVE MY OWN KITCHEN! Yahooo! I am off to make some lunch for the first time in my kitchen!
Gloria
August 19, 2010 at 11:09 amI love the header!! I just started my blog (I’m still hiding it) and I’m so frazzled with header images and photoshop and fonts… gah! I need an Almanzo!
I’ll tell you an AMAZING thing about my day – I’m so excited about going to the grand opening of a gourmet raw food restaurant with a huge group of friends and dancing by the waterfront in downtown Palm Beach afterward 🙂
Leah
August 19, 2010 at 11:09 amI made whole wheat pizza dough from scratch this morning. Looking forward to a fresh pizza with ingredients from the farmers market for dinner.

1. My sunburn has transferred from a shade of raspberry to bright red (progress!).

Rachel
August 19, 2010 at 11:11 amOatmeal chocolate chip for sure! One good thing about today is that we are supposed to get some pretty heavy thunderstorms later, which means I get to go home after work and snuggle down in bed, listen to the rain, and take a NAP!! Sometimes I really love the rain 🙂

August 19, 2010 at 11:12 amJenna, you are adorable! I am really enjoy your blog’s new “theme” lately. I can tell that you’re enjoying it too! Yay! Something good about my day… I ran four miles on the beach and felt on top of the world when “it’s a beautiful day” came on my Ipod and I was watching the sparkly waves and surfers. I felt so blessed! 🙂
Leslie Hanley
August 19, 2010 at 11:12 amI have 4 extra kids here along with my 3. My house is so much fun right now! Almost nothing better than laughing kids (except maybe cookies)!
Carly (Swim, Run, Om)
August 19, 2010 at 11:12 amI don’t want to say specifically, but I found out that what I thought was a really bad situation is in fact, while not all that great, is a lot better than I thought. It still sounds dire when I put it like that, but trust me … I have a huge smile on my face!
lynn
August 19, 2010 at 11:12 amMy yoga studio had a deal this morning on Living Social for 20 classes for $25, which is AMAZING by itself, but if I get 3 people to also buy in to the deal I’ll get it for free! I have 2 and a verbal commitment, plus my co-worker signed up…so there are at least 4 more people that will get to experience the wonderful world of yoga in addition to a bunch more classes than I expected to take this fall! Such a great morning.
Anne
August 19, 2010 at 11:12 amMy macbook pro came in the mail! That made my day.

Chrissy (The New Me)
August 19, 2010 at 11:14 amI have to pick just one good thing? Today I figured out a web design problem at work that had been bugging me all week, which was gratifying. In at a close second was riding my bike home for lunch to vegan mac and cheeze and two sweet dogs.
And if I win (ihopeiwinihopeiwinihopeiwin) I want the oatmeal chocolate chip, vegan style!
Michele
August 19, 2010 at 11:14 amThe best part of my day so far was waking up early and getting a run in before work. I hate getting up but the rest of my day always feels THAT much better.
Stephanie
August 19, 2010 at 11:14 amTwo weeks ago my bf and I unexpectedly found out we were expecting a visit from the stork. Every day since then (including today) he has woke up earlier in the morning to make me a smoothie with essential nutrients and comes home for lunch so we can see eachother rather than eating at work. It’s such a bright spot EACH day!
Sammi
August 19, 2010 at 11:15 amI’ve had a good food day. Got a vegan carrot cake cupcake from Whole Foods and Orange Tofu and Vegetables from Pei Wei!
Kayla @ Let's Live Wholesome
August 19, 2010 at 11:15 amOkay, loving the header for real. And the tagline! And everything about your blog 🙂 I’ve been reading for one year this month, and am so glad I found ya.
My good thing of the day is that I’m headin’ to food prep class, and we’re baking cookies! WOOHOO! Although I’m sure they won’t include brown butter…
Jessica
August 19, 2010 at 11:15 amThree good things about today:
1. I’m going to see one of my favorite comedians tonight.
2. I had an awesome run this morning!
3. Only one more day of work until vacation!
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf
August 19, 2010 at 11:15 amGreat header! I love love love that picture of you doing warrior pose at Yellowstone!
Good part about my day? Several things. I woke up early and watched Boy Meets World while cooking breakfast. Also, I had completely forgotten about the office party this afternoon and that I had to bring something to share, so on my short 45 minute lunch break I rushed home, threw together the contents of two leftover brownie and cake mixes in a bowl with the rest of my leftover yogurt and baked the batter in mini muffin tins. I was only five minutes late getting back to work, and I was able to eat lunch, bring something without rushing to the store, plus I cleaned out some of my pantry!
Jewel
August 19, 2010 at 11:15 amOatmeal Chocolate Chip is my favorite!

Jennifer
August 19, 2010 at 11:19 amThis will sound negative, but it turns into a positive. I woke up sick today with a virus, but it helped me to remember how much I cherish my health and that I want to really get on the bandwagon of eating nutritious food more consistently.

Andrea
August 19, 2010 at 11:21 amI remembered my flip flops today for before and after work. There is nothing like chasing a 2 and 4 year old around daycare in 5″ heels. 🙂
Jennifer S

Sarah
August 19, 2010 at 11:23 amI literally JUST found space available on campus for a large town-hall type meeting that my office is holding for work. It’s taken all week & I’ve looked into basically every location I could think of but I finally found a room big enough for a 175ish person town hall meeting. I’m about to do a happy dance, I had been thinking it was hopeless… 🙂

Brown butter chocolate chips look fabulous!

Elizabeth
August 19, 2010 at 11:43 amThe best thing about my day was my 3 year old son hugging me tight and telling me to have a good day! If I could have bottled that moment, I surely would have 🙂
Also, I had me some watermelon at lunch time that was as sweet as candy. While not as wonderful as my son’s hug this morning, it was a close 2nd for good things about my day!
Kelly @ Dream. Strive. Succeed.
August 19, 2010 at 11:43 amMy husband told me that the peach pie (from your recipe) that I made last night is disappearing rapidly as he sits at home, studying for his private pilot’s written exam. I’ve never made pie crust from scratch before! He likes it! 🙂
Mmmm, cookies!
Your blog header looks fantastic – kudos to Almanzo for the fixing. I’m married to a problem-solver, and I have learned not to casually mention things to him, unless I want to fix them RIGHT NOW. 🙂

He’s a Beatle fan (as am I) and I am really hoping that he’ll like it. Giving him this small gift as a token of my appreciation for what a great co-worker and friend he’s been is absolutely the highlight of my day.

August 19, 2010 at 12:06 pmToday was my last day of work before I go back to school full time, and my co-workers gave me a pair of earrings, a cake, and a card they all signed. I felt so loved! 🙂
Bonnie
August 19, 2010 at 12:07 pmWhat a fun and generous giveaway! 🙂 I’d say one great part of today was not the early 5:30 am wake up for my first client but rather the beautiful sunset that I stumbled out of my bedroom to see. What a great gift from God and good way to start the day! And ANY kind of chocolate chip cookies make it all the more worthwhile. 😉 I echo the comments on your header – looks great!
kathleen
August 19, 2010 at 12:07 pmGreat thing about today: I was reminded that I’m extremely blessed: I have a great job (Praise!), loving family, the BEST friends, super community, and one awesome Jeremy (hi bf!!) :o) Thank you, God!

Brooke - One Healthy Cookie

Lori
August 19, 2010 at 12:21 pmToday I woke up early to get my 3 oldest kids off to school…breakfast was 2 fried eggs in real butter in my cast iron pan for my growing 7th grader…he said, “I don’t know how you made these, but they are much better than how I make mine.”
Nicole
August 19, 2010 at 12:22 pmI was super productive at work today and that makes me really happy. I have sort of felt like I have been in a slump the last few days so it was nice to have a full and productive day!
Prachi
August 19, 2010 at 12:22 pmHmmm…I’m studying for the MCATs, and I memorized a bunch of the hormones that I need to know!!! Big news, as it’s one of the few things I still didn’t understand in Biology. 😀
Andrea
August 19, 2010 at 12:22 pmOne good thing about today is that I am alive, happy, and healthy! I am also looking forward to my trip to Mesa Grill in Vegas this weekend. 🙂

Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
Lisa D
August 19, 2010 at 12:24 pmI met my boyfriend during lunch at the local Farmer’s Market – and in the middle of the crazy Midtown NYC traffic we were transported to the country as we tasted a new variety of apples, popped fresh green peas in our mouths, and sipped on freshly crushed apple cider. What a perfect lunch break.
Jenevieve
August 19, 2010 at 12:24 pmI treated myself to a delicious latte this morning! 🙂
Coco
August 19, 2010 at 12:25 pmthe sun is shining! what more could i ask for?
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
August 19, 2010 at 12:26 pmThe possibility of getting brown butter chocolate chip cookies ranks pretty high up there. And also: watching the Oregon Trail “movie trailer” yet again was a silly but fun highlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHps2SecuDk
Danielle
August 19, 2010 at 12:26 pmI have a HUGE event tomorrow and our print shop finished my last-minute request ON TIME! I celebrated with a blended chair from Tea Garden 🙂
Sara Palacios
August 19, 2010 at 12:26 pmOne good thing about today was that I was able to have lunch with one of my besties.
Megan
August 19, 2010 at 12:27 pmPretty! I love the new header. One good thing about my day… an email from my friend this morning saying her day today was going MUCH better than yesterday. Hearing that her bad mood (and bad situation) from yesterday had been resolved made me smile.
Ashley
August 19, 2010 at 12:27 pmIt’s a rainy, dreary day here in NC (and we’ve had one of the hottest summers on record so far)… and that’s GOOD because it’s perfect for peppermint tea sipping and book reading (when I get home from work).
I’m sold on the brown butter mmmm…
Emmanuelle
August 19, 2010 at 12:27 pmNot entering the contest as I live far far away (*sad*), but I love the new blog direction 🙂
Happy today? Sun shining, yoga this morning, great cheesecake and almond cream&apple pie for dessert at lunch, 2nd running training tonight, Lovely Boyfriend, the huge apple with almond butter I’ve just had. 🙂
Suzanne
August 19, 2010 at 12:28 pmA couple of squares of Lindt with Fleur de Sel with my lunch. Yum.
Renee
August 19, 2010 at 12:28 pmbest thing about today- i went running along Lake Michigan this morning and got to see the sunrise. it was breath-taking and I knew right then, whatever happened at work today and no matter what stress I would have ahead of me, I had the sunrise:)
Erin
August 19, 2010 at 12:30 pmLOVE the new header! I’m going to a concert tonight with my dad and can’t wait — outdoor concert, picnic on the lawn and catching up with my ‘old man.’ 😉

AshleyH
August 19, 2010 at 12:30 pmI had so much fun this morning on etsy.com looking at wedding stuff (getting married in June). 🙂 I also had an amazing cup of Gemai Cha tea this morning which totally brightened my morning.
Logan
August 19, 2010 at 12:31 pmI went home at lunchtime to do a little dog walking and the greetings I received from my English Bulldog, Mack, and my two Golden Retrievers, Honey and Ben, made the whole day worthwhile. They were SO happy to see me!
You have a lot of replies to this, but if want to go ahead and whip up the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip (no coconut please), I’d be delighted!! 🙂
Great post today, Jenna!
Elizabeth
August 19, 2010 at 12:31 pmThe best thing about my day happened when I least expected it. I had to go to the hospital for an EEG (this scary test where they put electrodes on your skull to detect brain activity) because I had a seizure on Monday. I was really dreading it, but the technician performing my test was an avid bird-lover and photographer; she calmed me down with her beautiful photos and the happiness that was obvious in her voice when she told me all about her bluebirds. I didn’t expect to, but I really enjoyed the test!
Ilene
August 19, 2010 at 12:31 pmI just finished a chapter of outlines that is over 40 pages long!
Christine Carley
August 19, 2010 at 12:33 pmI love your blog! One good thing about my day is that I got to sleep in until 1030!!
Genevieve
August 19, 2010 at 12:34 pmThe best thing about my day is…all day. My mom and sister are in town so we get to family bond for the rest of the day 🙂
Jen
August 19, 2010 at 12:35 pmI had marked your brown butter chocolate chip to try but it would be even better if someone else baked them.
My day has been pretty exciting — a new school year is starting, new students coming in. And I’m finally cleaning my desk!
AnneW
August 19, 2010 at 12:35 pmI’m leaving the Bay Area for the weekend for my cousin’s wedding in Orange County! So much family time to come this weekend!
Brenda M.
August 19, 2010 at 12:36 pmBest part of my day so far? As cheesy as it sounds – reading your blog and all of the great comments. My job is very tense right now, and my little “mini-breaks” during the day when I read your blog are what keep me sane – that, and thinking about what you have inspired me to make for diner that night!
Jess
August 19, 2010 at 12:37 pmWhat a sweet thing! Getting a hug (without asking for one) from my two-year old son is such a good part of my day. 🙂 Our household would love the brown butter chocolate chip cookies! The picture alone sells them, yum!!
Angela
August 19, 2010 at 12:37 pmI got up early today and had time to work in my vegetable and flower gardens and take care of my girls (chickens!) before heading into work for a full day. It felt wonderful to be outside just as the sun was rising and the birds and other animals were waking up, just enjoying the beauty of nature all around me!
Cindy K.
August 19, 2010 at 12:39 pmI had a wonderful 3 course lunch with old friends at restaurant week in DC. I never take so much time for myself in the middle of the day and am so glad I did 🙂
Jennifer
August 19, 2010 at 12:39 pmOne great thing about my day was greeting my sweet husband with a sweaty kiss after we’d both returned from our early morning runs with friends.
Stefanie B
August 19, 2010 at 12:39 pmA great thing about my day is waking up next to my puppy Angus. It brightens my day EVERYDAY!
Caitlin @ Right Foot Forward
August 19, 2010 at 12:40 pmThe best part about my day so far was catching up with my best friend on our “phone date” after not talking to her for almost a week!
Margherita
August 19, 2010 at 12:40 pmI saw my mother today and was filled with warm fuzzies simply because she is so beautiful and loving.
lindsay ann
August 19, 2010 at 12:40 pmI had the most fabulous walk at the park this morning. The sky was clear, the sun was shining, the air was crisp and I felt amazing.
Jordan
August 19, 2010 at 12:41 pmThe best thing about this day is that I got everything I needed to do done by noon so now I have all afternoon to read a book and watch it rain!
Kelsey
August 19, 2010 at 12:42 pmMy body blessed me with the strength to get through a great work out, and my tongue blessed me with the ability to taste my fabulous post-workout lunch!
Bonnie
August 19, 2010 at 12:42 pmThe new header is well worth all of the work. It looks fabulous!! The best part of my day is playing my violin, and getting to do what I love. Plus I might have splurged on a cute new top at Anthropologie today… 🙂
Julie
August 19, 2010 at 12:43 pmBest part of my day – realizing that today is my Friday and I can sleep in tomorrow 🙂
Therese
August 19, 2010 at 12:43 pmClearly lots of people want your cookies with real butter! I’m so with you on the post about this being a healthy blog because you use REAL ingredients. Best part of my day was seeing my husband get ready for his first day of grad school at the University of Kansas. It was like first grade excitement all over again!
Kathryn
August 19, 2010 at 12:43 pmI love being woken up by my best friend on 4 legs! When my alarm goes off in the morning, he runs to my side of the bed, scratches a little bit and then I drag him up into bed. Little Riley will burrow down right next to my tummy for some early morning tummy rubs (aka “Love Puppy”). That is about the only thing that makes my alarm go off in the morning, okay!
Vanessa
August 19, 2010 at 12:44 pmAside of the happiness that Thursday brings (it’s almost Friday, after all), I think the highlight of my day so far has been slowly sipping my coffee while I work. Despite having to work my way through a couple of client hang-ups, that mug held my sanity this morning. =)
Sarah
August 19, 2010 at 12:44 pmThe sunshine and the new non chip manicure I just got that fits so perfectly with my active life and the color fitting with my mood
Charles
August 19, 2010 at 12:45 pmWow. Everyone wants cookies.
Well, so do I, so one good thing is that Laura and I get to have an evening picnic listening to the Jazz Orchestra and watching the Colorado Ballet Company. While the food will only be grocery deli chicken and salads (our house is torn up renovating for our baby due in November), this will sure beat the heck out of the crumby (pun partially intended) mood I’m in currently.
Keri
August 19, 2010 at 12:46 pmToday I got to go to Pilates, get a mani/pedi and bought a fresh veggie juice from a juice bar (beets, carrots, and ginger 🙂 Oh yeah and I spent way too much at Lululemon. It has been an indulgent day. Why stop now?
Sarah
August 19, 2010 at 12:46 pmToday has two good things so far! #1 – it’s my Friday and I have a 4 day weekend, #2 – I had the most delicious sandwich for lunch and my tummy’s still smiling 🙂
Anna
August 19, 2010 at 12:48 pmOne great thing: I have the day off from work and got to spend the day in my workout clothes, talking to friends, getting a pedicure, an iced coffee…and going to anthro! Hope to win some cookies. That would make today even BETTER 🙂
Amy
August 19, 2010 at 12:48 pmThe best thing about my day was sleeping in! It had been too long, that’s for sure!
angela southydeth
August 19, 2010 at 12:48 pmI am happy because I just am, and there might be a slim chance I could possibly, a tiny chance I can win cookies. brown butter choco chip!
Kelsey
August 19, 2010 at 12:49 pmMy favorite thing about this Thursday (and lucky me, EVERY Thursday!) is that I run trails with my Dad and my brother. There’s a group that meets every Thursday nights and we run through the woods, water, and mud…it’s my favorite day of the week! Thanks Jenna!
Dan
August 19, 2010 at 12:49 pmI pulled myself out of bed at 6:30 to run before work! That is a good thing. Cookies are an even better thing.
Jenny
August 19, 2010 at 12:49 pmI look forward to seeing my UPS box arrive at my front step today because I’m getting my new work out…ready to bust a move! I also look forward to a dinner date with my man. 🙂
Nicole
August 19, 2010 at 12:49 pmYour cookies do look amazing…but the ones pictured aren’t oatmeal chocolate chip! Both sides of my family’s chocolate chip cookie recipes are OATMEAL chocolate chip, and I love it! I’d love to get a new one too!
Best thing about my day so far? I had a dentist appointment, and still have no cavities. (I have yet to get any)
Lauren
August 19, 2010 at 12:49 pmHad a wonderful playdate with an old friend and her kids…sooo much fun! Happy Kids = Happy Moms!
Cyclist Kate
August 19, 2010 at 12:50 pmI have a middle-of-the-week day off and I got SO MUCH DONE this morning–went through the mountain of mail/papers/clothing/old tupperwares that was my desk, cleaned the house, deep conditioned my hair, made pancakes, dealt with school stuff…and now I have the rest of the day free. My brother is coming over to dig up the potatoes I planted last spring, then I’m meeting a friend at the coffee shop to knit. It’s a lovely, sunny, productive, deep sigh of contentment kind of day.
Emily @ For Sweets Sake
August 19, 2010 at 12:50 pmLove the new header! I got to wake up next to the most amazing guy 🙂 nothing gets better than that!

helen
August 19, 2010 at 12:53 pmwhat a great idea for a giveaway, and what a positive question! a good thing that happened today was the encounter i had with the checker at the grocery store. she was so friendly and was talking to and saying nice things to my baby and making him smile–it put me in a really good mood. i appreciate genuine customer service and interaction 🙂
Lauren
August 19, 2010 at 12:53 pmOne good thing about today: Just finished a week of observing two year olds at a local Montessori preschool (requirement for my graduate degree) and it totally reinforced that I am in the right field and I cannot wait to open my own school one day! 🙂 AND I am about to pack for my trip to the East Coast tomorrow to see my best friend. It’s a good day! PS – Love your blog!
Eliza
August 19, 2010 at 12:53 pmI clean houses for a job right now (such a workout by the way!) and today while I was cleaning the kitchen the little girl who lived there came up to me and said “you know, you can have some water if your thirsty and sit and have snack time with me if you want! youre working hard”
It was so cute and nice to see a little girl notice all my effort!
Mandy Wood
August 19, 2010 at 12:53 pmOne good thing about my day? I get to spend it with my beautiful 7 month old daughter Olivia – the light of my life. Every moment with her is so precious and I savour it all!
Love your blog, btw.
Katie @ Healthy Heddleston
August 19, 2010 at 12:54 pmI’m nannying and the little girl always makes me smile!
Jenn (There's Your Karma)
August 19, 2010 at 12:54 pmBest thing: Fresh-squeezed lemonade.
Kim
August 19, 2010 at 12:54 pmI just found out that our landlord is not selling his condo that we’ve been renting/living in for 5 years! I AM SO HAPPY! 🙂
We love this neighborhood and this is the longest I’ve ever lived in one home, when I found out today that he isn’t selling I felt such relief.
Thank you for the chance to win some of your baking! 😀
megan
August 19, 2010 at 12:55 pmA good thing about today….
Up at 7am, made breakfast, took daughter to school, went for a 30 minute walk, cleaned house, folded laundry, did some massive shopping at Target….ALL WHILE I AM 5 DAYS PAST 40 WEEKS PREGNANT in this summer HEAT. So while I sure wish my baby was here already, I’m glad to say I’m still getting stuff done while I (semi)patiently wait for her arrival. 🙂
And YES, cookies would be the perfect addition to my waiting days.
VeggieGirl @ Farmers Market Love
August 19, 2010 at 12:55 pmI did my first backbend in yoga today 🙂

August 19, 2010 at 12:55 pmMy favorite part of today was going on the a super fun hike with my kids at the summer camp I work at. It was a beautiful day and everyone was in great spirits!
Tracey
August 19, 2010 at 12:56 pmI made a lovely Caprese salad for lunch today and it rocked my world. Wonder where I got the inspiration? 🙂
Your new heading is beautiful and your blog is now the first one I check after work.

Maura
August 19, 2010 at 1:01 pmI loved sitting outside at lunch on the grass, with my Whole Foods sushi, reading Wicked. It was absolute Bliss 🙂
Marcia
August 19, 2010 at 1:01 pmI swam about 1000m in the Pacific ocean today, and it was cold, and ROUGH (2+ ft swells), BUT I DID IT. And I’m getting used to it. I didn’t freak out much at all.
I am so proud of myself. 🙂
Patricia
August 19, 2010 at 1:02 pmI am moving in 5 days clear across the country. I had lunch with one of my friends for the last time (for a long while anyhow) and it was still fun and chill and felt like nothing would ever change.

Debbie
August 19, 2010 at 1:02 pmThe best part of my day today was the delicious and sweet Pink Lady apple that I just ate! Although, I must say Jenna, I would rather have had one or two of your scrumptious brown butter chocolate chip cookies!! 😉
Laura
August 19, 2010 at 1:02 pmI made a care package for my cousin who is heading off to college next week! I’m so proud of the young man he has become.
Robyn
August 19, 2010 at 1:02 pmI had an amazing wrap at lunch today – it made me think of your blog post about simple foods and tastes – it was soooooooo good! Some hummus, sundried tomato pesto, chopped kalamata olives, Roma tomatoes and orange bell pepper wrapped up with some arugula in lavash bread.
I’m not hungry, but I totally wish I could have another one because the flavor was so good! Made for a very happy few moments right in the middle of the day. 🙂
Elisabeth
August 19, 2010 at 1:04 pmYUM! I want cookies! =)

August 19, 2010 at 1:04 pmCan you even see me, way down here at number 803? Or whatever number I am. If you can, I love that my 17-year-old daughter told me (as she is wont to do) that she loved me today. Made my day.

Beth @ DiningAndDishing

Love the new header and the cookies look INSANE!
Jenn H.
August 19, 2010 at 1:08 pmThe best part of my day, by far, was my breakfast. I had oatmeal with 1/4 goat milk, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/4 water, peanut butter, a bunch of delicious raspberries, and half of a banana. I have never tried goat milk before, and I am not sure I would drink it straight (tasted a bit like liquid goat cheese), but in oats, amazing. Seriously, try it.
Stee
August 19, 2010 at 1:09 pmoooh cookies!
I had a blueberry muffin today, it made me happy!

Jane
August 19, 2010 at 1:26 pmThere have been so many good things today! It’s difficult to pick just one.
Let’s see. Walking out to my garden (my first attempt at a vegetable garden), in the early morning and seeing all the ripe cherry tomatoes and big boys just waiting for me. Thinking about how good they will taste with the basil growing there. Feeling proud of myself and also feeling part of Nature (with a capital “N”!).
And then seeing the most magnificent sunrise I’ve seen in sometime. It was truly a spectacle. It made me say, “Oh!” outloud.
And those two things happened before 6:30 in the morning.
Kelly
August 19, 2010 at 1:26 pmGood lord I love cookies.. these pictures were def one good thing in my day! The amount of cinnamon in my chia greek yogurt this morning was another – I stopped bother trying to get it out of those stupid little holes and just took the top off and dumped it in! Yum!

Off to enjoy some great time together!

August 19, 2010 at 1:54 pmone good thing about my day? i picked 150+ lbs of harelson apples and brought them to a food shelf. it’s amazing how little healthy, fresh food is available to those that rely on food shelves for breakfast, lunch and dinner. it feels good to make an impact on that!
now, if you could bake me GLUTEN FREE chocolate chip cookies, i’d think you were the best baker ever and i’d love you eternally. (otherwise, they’ll be gifted to friends and family.)

One good thing about my day today is the feeling I experience right after finishing up an intense yoga class where I release all my anxiety and frustrations. I feel so light, free spirited, with only one thing on my mind, what yummy goodness and I going to whip up for myself for dinner when I get home. Its the only part of my day where happy and comforting thoughts of food are on my mind and the stress of finding the perfect job, a place to live and what purpose I have in life have all vanished. 🙂
Melissa
August 19, 2010 at 2:21 pmI left Costco with a huge grin on my face after hearing a women say “$10.50? Oh hell yeah!” I also saw another lady with headphones in rocking out in the aisle. Both women brightened my day! Now, to conquer my 5 mile tempo run!

August 19, 2010 at 2:49 pmOhh Photoshop, how i love and loathe thee.
I’ve been eyeing (drooling …) over your butter cookies ever since you made them.
Today I was walking home from work and decided to take a shortcut through a local bike path. I looked up at the sun at one point, through the tall grass and trees and wild flowers, and though I was tired, stressed and had a million thoughts running through my head, I had a moment where I just thought about how thankful I was to be enjoying the sun in such a beautiful place, and able to walk back to my apartment. It was a nice moment. I’m going to have more of those, I think. (It looks like you celebrated life today, too.)
Kristin
August 19, 2010 at 2:49 pmI got up in time to shower, walk the dog AND make coffee before heading to work….and my classroom is ready to meet a whole new batch of precious little 6th graders tomorrow!

August 19, 2010 at 3:18 pmMy boyfriend and I woke up this morning before we each had to go to school/work and went for a 30 min walk. It was such a great way to start the day and chat about life as the Arizona sun peeked out its head. It was also the first day of my last year at ASU, bittersweet, but so happy!

Bess @ I Dream of Greenie
August 19, 2010 at 3:28 pmI just got back from lunch with my 3 year old nephew and 9 month old niece.
In the midst of the meal, the waiter dropped a ginormous bowl of gazpacho all over us but my nephew managed to take the ginormous plate of chocolate cake off the table right before the spill happened 🙂
It obviously made me smile because he’s just like his aunt: nothing comes between me and my chocolate!

No diets here. life-long lifestyle changes. Slow loss is healthiest! 20.6 pounds off with 6.8 to go! I’ve never had vegan cookies would love to try ’em.
My motto this week… “Slow down.”

August 19, 2010 at 5:58 pmOh how I’d love to win! TWO good things that happened to me today included spending time catching up with some of my favorite people–my sisters. We just took a trip to Paris at the end of July and I was hoping that we would still keep in good touch because we all have our own lives that make it difficult to be in each other’s daily lives. One is in London and we talked through Skype and the other in Charleston. Just talking to them made my day a lot brighter!

I met Katie (who’s from my hometown in Ohio) while living in Paris myself …our Dads randomly were at lunch and one mentioned “my daughter’s living in Paris –and the other “so’s mine!” We met for an espresso and a friendship began!

August 19, 2010 at 7:03 pmwhen i got to work today, i realized that i couldn’t heat up my lunch in the cafeteria microwave because the cafeteria was reserved from 10:30-1:30 for a picnic. i had already been upset about something else, so i texted my husband to tell him, and then he surprised me by bringing me some take-out pasta for lunch. 🙂 he’s so sweet!

August 19, 2010 at 7:06 pmWell, er…. I found some great accessories for my wedding dress….and paid only $3.96 for them. After all of the silly money I’ve spent on this wedding, that was pretty darn great.

Best thing about my day: my Zumba class after work. My instructor makes it so much fun! The last few weeks at my job have been crazy busy but for an hour a few nights a week during Zumba I get to relax and not even think about it!!
Pam (IIN Health Coach)
August 19, 2010 at 7:08 pmThe best thing about my day was getting to read magazines and surf the internet all day while waiting at the court house to be called in for jury duty. They didn’t call my name until the end of the day and told me I could go home.

August 19, 2010 at 7:17 pmHi Jenna! This is my first time posting on your blog but I adore reading it every day! I am a pediatric nurse and something so great about my day today was that I got to take care of an adorable little girl who’s smile and big brown eyes literally lit up my day. Its hard work to be a nurse, but I absolutely love it (like you love food & writing!). Isn’t it great to find something you are so passionate about in life? I want you to know your positivity and zest for life rubs off on me each day am able to bring that with me to the hospital each day…thanks for that from the bottom of my heart! Hugs 🙂

Samantha
August 19, 2010 at 7:46 pmWhile I was walking back home with the fiercely independent, opinionated and feisty 21-month-old baby I babysit, she stuck her tiny toddler hand in the air searching for mine. Surprised, (trust me – she never wants to cuddle with me!) I looked down at her, and she gazed straight back with her huge, intelligent, gorgeous hazel eyes, and silently told me how content she was to be toddling back to her house with me. Feeling like I finally made an impression on her life, like she knows who I am and cares about whether I’m there or not, and like she actually enjoys the time we spend together was a moment that I can say genuinely “warmed the cockles of my heart.”
I told her that, but I don’t think she was all that impressed. I don’t think she knows what cockles are yet. But either way, it made me feel a lot more satisfied with my life (and my job), and it definitely makes the early mornings worth it. 🙂

August 19, 2010 at 7:48 pmI am a welfare worker for the elderly and disabled (in Texas, Almanzo’s home state!). Today was great because I discovered an agency error where the client was overcharged for their nursing home care for the last four years. The client’s wife(now a single parent since her 30 yr old husband will have to stay in a nursing home) will now receive a $13,000 refund from various nursing homes!!!
