The most recent edition of the K Chronicles, a comic strip on Salon, caught my eye this morning because it’s all about celebrating “life’s little victories,” like “reading a neat recipe you’d like to try…and you already have all the ingredients!” and “the one dollar bookstore actually has some good stuff.” As the strip says, we need to celebrate these everyday victories “now, more than ever,” so without further ado, after the jump are 10 Frisky-flavored victories to get excited about. Add your own in comments!
1. You keep having wild sex dreams about Jon Hamm.
2. All of the OPI nail polishes are 25% off at Rite Aid.
3. You win that dyed blue leather clutch you found on eBay for a steal.
4. He says he’ll call you tomorrow, and…HE DOES!
5. The wedding you somehow got suckered into being a bridesmaid in was just called off.
6. You finally remember to bring your cloth bags to the grocery store with you.
7. You’re not pregnant after all, just a little late is all.
8. The box dye you try at home to save money turns out even better than your usual $100 salon job.
9. There’s one espresso brownie left at Starbucks and NO ONE ELSE IN LINE.
10. You’ve lost weight everywhere but your tits.

Ah, #10 would be a definite victory for me! I love my D cups, and I’d hate for them to “go south” just for the sake of my wanting to lose 10-15 lbs.

I love my little vics.
#6 is huge; hate it when I forget them
#14 When I’ve already uncharacteristically done my “To Do-s” and can say to my 20 different PDA alerts, “Chirp to the hand!”

Honestly? How about when I return home at night to find that (regardless of whatever #&@$% show has occurred throughout the day) at bare minimum, my apartment has not burned down.

The writer of the K Chronicles is from New Orleans and he does great work. Glad to see he’s getting some national recognition. My personal small victory as of late would have to be when my dog manages to greet my boyfriend without leaving a puddle on the floor. He just loves him SO much and he just gets SO excited and mom I can’t help it! I love my little darling. He’s an adorable dog. But all dogs are less adorable when you’re on your knees soaking up piss with a roll of bounty.

Finish a day at work still in a good mood and not wanting a cigarette as soon as I step out the door.

When doing an hours worth of yoga gets rid of my back pain better than taking pain killers for 3 days straight does. Yay for yoga!

You come home from work to discover that your messy roommate has had an OCD episode and cleaned the house! Now if we could only find the dustpan to get the random pile of dirt left…
