I like to think she was dreaming of me telling one of my hilarious jokes. (3 Good Things from 8/18/09)

It was tough making it through a day when I had to get up at 4 a.m. and bravely go spend the day reading magazines and comic books for nearly 8 hours. But I did it, and I did it in part by focusing on 3 Good Things from the day before.

1. I set a new new World Record For 2009 In Distance Running While Pushing Babies In The Stroller, topping my previous best ("Just over a mile") and going nearly 2 miles last night.

2. Brett Favre is back!

3. In the middle of the night, I woke up and looked over at Sweetie, and she was smiling in her sleep.
