the best thing that happened today was waking myself up this morning by giggling furiously in my sleep. the shaking of my bed due to my laughter woke me!
:)

The best thing that happened today was someone I hadn't spoken to for months coming over to tell me she liked my new haircut this evening, when we were out at the same clubnight.
We had drifted apart due to reasons too lengthy to mention, but some of the really bad ones were my fault, and my stupid pride had stopped me going over and talking to her on countless occasions, even though I wanted to. But because she came over and started talking to me, we then spent the rest of the even talking to each other, and now (once again) I am wondering why I was such an idiot and why I didn't just talk to her sooner.
I have really missed her.

The best thing that happened today was the eureka-moment when I worked out that you can separate two pieces of paper that have been glued together using "power pritt" if you steam them over a kettle!
Power pritt (made by pritt stick, but comes in a silver tube and is much stronger than regular pritt stick) is my glue of choice for papercraft and zine making, as it is super strong so the pieces you have glued never fall apart. But this does mean that if you make a mistake, or want to change the positioning, you can't. As soon as you try to pull them apart, however gently, the paper tears and there are tears... But not anymore! Now I can just boil the kettle, hold the paper over the steam, very gently peel apart the two pieces of paper and start again.

The best thing that happened today (and is still happening at this late hour) was making an impressive dent in my to-do list despite thinking I didn't have the motivation to do anything at all this evening. Goes to show what willpower and giving oneself a stern talking to can do!

The best thing that happened today was probably the pancake that I managed to make all by myself, after two failed attempts.

The best thing that happened today may seem trivial, but today is the first time that I managed to fix a hellish photocopier breakdown at work without having to go and get help from the secreatries, who must by now think I'm an incompetant nitwit.
One small step for Melaniekind...

The best thing that happened today was my decision to pursue a late night papercraft project whilst listening to my favourite Hefner album: "The Fidelity Wars". I have sticky fingers and scraps of paper everywhere but I am happy.
