Post something nice that happened to you in the last 48 hours.

[Breeze54]

Hmmm...OK. I'll start.
My son and I had an argument this morning and tonight he gave me $20 without me asking. ;)
My son bought bean and jalepeno dip & chips last night and he shared it with me and a movie.
The guy at the convenience store remembered my asking for a pack of matches last week and
made a point tonight of giving me a pack!! ;) My car is on the red line for gas level and it's still running! :P

[MonkeyFunk]

1. a friend of mine knows I've been sick and housebound

so she came by and brought me dinner, and hung out with me for a bit.

[Breeze54]

3. That's very nice!

Are the shingles going away any yet?

:hug:

[MonkeyFunk]

10. well

going away? no. But they're starting to heal, which will take awhile. I still look a mess.

[Breeze54]

12. Ugh. Poor baby,

I know it sucks but at least it won't leave any scars.
At least it didn't when i had them. :hug:

[MonkeyFunk]

16. thanks

I'm hoping. I'm trying not to touch them, but I find myself inadvertently doing so.

The biggest problem is just being housebound. I'm going stir-crazy and starting to feel claustrophobic.

I'm making plans now to have a little bbq tomorrow with my bf and our best friend and sit out on the patio and enjoy it.

I'm finding the emotional part of dealing with this as bad as the physical part.

[SeattleGirl]

2. Got a call from my bestest friend.

:bounce: :bounce:

[Breeze54]

4. That's always sweet!! Ohh!! I forgot!!

My sister sent me a funny e-mail today!! :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Had a really nice phone conversation

with a very dear friend today!

It was the best time!

[Breeze54]

6. Those are always special.

That's very nice! ;)

[cynatnite]

7. Got a surprise call from someone who wants to use one of my projects...

for a presentation at a convention. Then she asked for me if I would do another later on. Really made my day :)

[Breeze54]

8. That's awesome! You must be

sooo proud and happy!! Good for you!!

I meant to say, "Ah.. The sweet smell of success!" :applause: :applause:

Congratulations! :)

[Heidi]

9. The store where I went grocery shopping yesterday

didn't have kiddie shopping carts! :bounce:

[Breeze54]

11. LMAO! Too funny!!

I hate those things too! :rofl:

:P

You are so funny! He,he,he!!

[Heidi]

13. You know how they say that every cigarette you smoke reduces your life by 11 minutes?

I think every 11 minutes that I spend grocery shopping entitles me to one cigarette. :smoke:

[BlueIris]

14. I reconnected with an old acquaintance I kinda wrote off last fall on the grounds that she was

tactless, overly-critical and had possible abusive tendencies.

We had a nice chat about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee that I found comforting. I thought I was going to have to convince her to see things my way (we used to butt heads about the Democrats a lot, despite both being generally progressive folks). Nope. We are of like minds about that touchy subject. So, that was nice. She's evidently mellowed since she got married.

[Breeze54]

18. That is an accomplishment!

I'm glad that you re-connected and it seems, all is forgiven.

That must feel good!! :)

Good for you for allowing her back into your life.

You're open minded! Stay that way! ;)

[Breeze54]

15. Wanted to add that your replies made me smile and now I can go to sleep with happy thoughts.

Thanks all! :grouphug:

The caffeine is wearing off and I'm actually getting sleepy.

Thanks for sharing your happy thoughts and experiences.

It's nice to end the day on a positive note. ;)

See you all after the sun rises!

Sweet dreams!

:hi:

[Heidi]

17. Sweet dreams, Breeze!

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Someone told me they love me

:)

[Breeze54]

36. How sweet!!

That must feel pretty good! :)

[Skittles]

20. I worked 12 hours, got 2 hours sleep, then worked 13 hours

yup

[some guy]

22. I don't see

"kicked somebody's ass" in your post.

So was it the 12 or the 13 hours of work that was pleasant? I know it couldn't have been the 2 hours of sleep - that's just boring. :D

:hi:

[Skittles]

23. no room for pleasantries, alas

:hi:

[some guy]

24. Ah. Well...

:hug:

Now something pleasant happened - you got a virtual hug from some guy on the internets. :D


edit: Oh - wait. You don't like touchy-feely people. Well, you got a reason to kick some guy's ass - that should count as something pleasant. :P

[Skittles]

25. YEE HAW!!!

virtual hugs are OK :D

[some guy]

26. *whew*

:woohoo: - now something nice happened to me! I avoided a Skittles ass-kicking.









and got to share a virtual hug :bounce:

[Horse with no Name]

21. I was checking out at the grocery store with my daughter and granddaughter

And the cashier asked if me and my daughter were twins.:)

[Breeze54]

30. How nice!!

I get laughed at when I ask to be carded! :P

[yellowdogintexas]

27. two different customers requested a supervisor to give me a compliment

we get points for that, so I say YAY!!!

[Breeze54]

31. Awesome!! Now...

maybe you'll get a raise too! Congrats! :D

[yellowdogintexas]

117. or a bonus, or get my name drawn in a prize raffle ( or get Incent One points

which are great because you can trade them for hundreds of different kinds of gift cards)

[dropkickpa]

28. Found out that I'm pretty much a shoo-in

For a supervisor position in my dept which will give me at least a 33% raise!!:woohoo: The heat's going up to 68 this winter!!

[Breeze54]

33. Fantastic!!

"The heat's going up to 68 this winter!!"

:rofl:

[alarimer]

29. I found a dollar on the ground

other than that, not much.

[Breeze54]

34. that's a sign your luck is changing!

Or your eyesight is improving! ;)

I wish I'd find some money sometime! I only find penny's and dimes. :(

[alarimer]

113. I thought briefly about trying to find out who it belonged to

Then I figured EVERYONE would claim it, so that wouldn't help me much. Unless you actually see the money fall from someone's pocket or something, it's fair game.

[Breeze54]

114. Finders keepers!

Hell; it's not like you found it in someone's living room! :P

Enjoy it! :)

[philosophie_en_rose]

32. I weigh 9 pounds less than last month.

:woohoo:

I weigh myself on the first of every month.

[Breeze54]

35. Congratulations!

That's encouraging! :D

Keep up the good work!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[philosophie_en_rose]

81. It's actually a mystery to me.

I'm not trying to lose weight and haven't done anything out of the ordinary, except give up meat. :shrug:

[Breeze54]

83. It's still a good thing, isn't it?

I mean, unless you're under weight and then I guess, not so good.

Maybe it's eliminating those hormones in the meat everyone is talking about?

Do you feel good? Healthy? Drinking enough water?

Take care of yourself! ;)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

37. My Prudence came home from the hospital....

She's so happy to be home. Although I'm sure she misses all the spoiling she was getting by everyone who walked by instead of just mom and dad.
Duckie

[Breeze54]

39. All better now? That is good news!!

Yeah!! Welcome home, Prudence! :D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

41. Although she's not really drinking, which is bothering me.

[BarenakedLady]

38. I went to Pilates this morning

and had a good workout.
The sun is shining.
I talked with someone special.
My kids all told me they loved me.
My garden gave me some good zucchinis and cucumbers.

[Breeze54]

40. You have got it going on, Lady!!

More power to you! ;)

[EFerrari]

42. My puppy learned how to kiss me back.

lol

[Breeze54]

43. Cute!!

I love puppies and their kisses, usually! ;)

Depends on where they've 'been' lately, if you get my drift! :rofl:

[EFerrari]

44. Don't make me go there.

:rofl:

[Chan790]

45. I got a job interview...

in NYC (where I've been trying to move for the past 3+ years) in my field (development/fundraising) for one of the largest NPOs in America working on a (non-political) issue I actually care about.

[Rosemary2205]

46. I'll cross my eyes for you.

New jobs are always exciting.

[Chan790]

55. Thanks!!

New jobs are especially exciting when they mean a raise from sub-poverty-line to $32,000 a year.

[Breeze54]

51. Woot!! Wishing you the best of luck!!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

Keep us all posted! ;)

[Chan790]

56. Thank You.

Will do. Interview is Wednesday.

[TOhioLiberal]

47. Last night...

...I was depressed and lonely. I posted about it here and all my friends came by and gave me hugs and encouragement. I'm so lucky to have great friends like that. It really makes my day. :woohoo:

[Breeze54]

49. Wow! Two threads, in two nights, full of well wishes!!

Damn! You are very lucky!! :)

I'm glad you're feeling better!

At least you seem more upbeat! Good for you!! :hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

59. Yes I am lucky...

...:loveya::loveya::loveya: to my fellow loungies. I don't know how I would have made it without you all. As for being upbeat, it's still very much a rollercoaster. I'm sure I'll be crashing down again sooner or later. Hopefully the crashes will get further apart as I go on. :shrug::hug:

[Breeze54]

62. There are stages to it...

just like in mourning. In fact, it is mourning.

Divorce is the top stresser right after sudden death of a loved one.

You'll be okay. I know it.

You'll have good and bad days. It's going to take time to heal.

I think you have a lot of love and support here at DU. I know you do.

You just have to roll with it and remember that you are entitled to your feelings. ;)

:hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

48. A guy at a store held the door open for me today.

:) He was an older gentleman, probably in his late 70s. He was very polite and when I thanked him very much, he wished me a beautiful day. :D

Just goes to show you it never hurts to be nice to people. :)

[Breeze54]

52. That is very nice, I think!

I saw an older guy today (a little older than me) and he winked at me and smiled and said, "Hi!".

I thought he knew me, by the way he said hi but I don't know him!

:hi:

[Inchworm]

50. hmm.. starting with 48 hours ago

-Thursday I had an early night and a solid night's sleep

-Friday I heard the voice of an angel

-I heard from my daughter and found out she is doing well

-I chatted with many old friends that I have not chatted with in 6-8 months

-I dreamed a vivid dream of me and my GF riding in a dining car of a train. We were going through the mountains sipping Zinfandel and eating omelets (analyze that!).

-I screwed up and smoked a cigarette. Just one... grr

-I helped find a cat and a dog a home.

-I saw the joy in a child's face when they get a new pet.

-I spent $60 at Suk-mart because they are the only ones in town that sells my nicotine gum.

-I got home and read DU

All is well! Wow! I should make lists like this more often. Its not so bad looking back now. :)

I may or may not have a beer and take a nap... the evening is up in the air.

:hi:

[Breeze54]

57. Sounds like a pretty good life to me!

Here, have another

"You shouldn't waste time sleeping when the sun is up!
You'll have plenty of time for sleep later in life!"

At least that's what my Mom used to say! :P

[BarenakedLady]

60. Hi you!

Sounds like a good couple of days.

:hi:

Gasp! You smoked a ciggy? :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

...don't make me do that again.

;)

[Inchworm]

73. Hey you back!

Yea.. thats the bad part. I'm gonna act like it never happened. I don't wanna screw up my numbers. LoL

Heres how Ive decided to rationalize it...
If a sailor says he is going to swear off cursing, and he lasts a month doing just that but slips in a "son of a bitch piece of shit" on the 27th day he is not cussing like a sailor. He may have cussed like a sailor, but as long as he stops he can say he still doesn't swear.

Buy that? lol

:hi:

flirt- flirt- flirt- :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

75. LoL

:rofl:

I like that logic!

:D

[Inchworm]

78. I just flew in from New York

and man are my arms tired! I'll be here all week!

:rofl: :rofl:

:D

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

53. It's been a very boring 48 hours...let me think

I got headbutts and purrs from the kitties up for adoption at PetSmart (I volunteer for a local rescue group and clean their cages and play with them once a week). Our kitties are clamoring to sit with me and follow me everywhere.

I'm bored out of my mind because Mr. DTBK is currently on the other side of the world. You'd think a week alone would be a wonderful thing, but it's WRETCHED. Thank goodness I get to go to California on Wednesday to see Bullwinkle925 or I just might throw myself out of window!

[Breeze54]

58. Can I trade with you??

You get to be around kittens AND you get to fly to Cali. to see a friend!!

Lucky stiff! ;)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

66. She's not just my friend - she's my sister!

You can't trade, but you can come along! :hi:

[Breeze54]

68. Family's even better! Right on!

I can go with you?? :woohoo: :woohoo:

:rofl:

Thanks for the offer but I think I've had my fill of Cali. for one lifetime!

I hope you have fun on your visit! :D

[WinkyDink]

54. Here it is, and DU'ers can have at it! I won a M&G with "American Idol" Taylor Hicks!

Hey, any excuse to visit Portland, ME! :)

[Breeze54]

61. Congratulations!!!

Umm...what's M&G? :shrug:

If you're happy about it then I'm happy for you! :D

[WinkyDink]

103. Thank you! It = Meet and Greet! He is one dynamo of a performer, also.

[bigwillq]

63. I got to see my prom date

last night...she is home for two months before she moves to Thailand. She has been living in Hawaii for years. It was so nice to see her again! :bounce:

[Breeze54]

65. That's so nice! great memories, huh?

Did you take any pics?

:)

[bigwillq]

69. Wonderful memories

No pics this time...but I do have a pic of us from when we went to our 10 year HS reunion last September. Let me go find it.

[Breeze54]

70. Very handsome and nice looking couple!

You look somewhat like my son!!

Beautiful pic! Thanks for sharing that! ;)

Maybe you shouldn't let her get away? :shrug:

Just sayin'!

[bigwillq]

71. She's married.

Thank you for your kind words.

:hi:

[elfrangel]

64. Hubby played a song for me...

He heard it on the radio last night and thought of me... :)


"The Woman In My Life" -- Phil Vassar

She was there in the stands
Come rain or come shine
She was the lady that smiled all the time
I know times were hard, but she never let on
No, it wasn't easy
But she was so strong

And she believed in me
When I just gave up
She took all my worries
And she gave me love
She rocked me to sleep
With a sweet lullaby
I thank God for that woman in my life

So many bruises
And young broken hearts
And ill-fated arrows that all missed their marks
And I found a lover, like there's never been
She's my baby's mother
And she's my best friend

And she believes in me
When I just give up
She takes all my worries
And she gives me love
Yeah, she rocks me to sleep
With a sweet lullaby
I thank God for this woman in my life

Now she's two years old
And she's my biggest fan
And I'm wrapped 'round the finger
Of her little hand

And she believes in me
When I just give up
She takes all my worries
And she gives me love
Yeah, I rock her to sleep
With a sweet lullaby
I thank God for this woman in my life
Oh, I thank God for this woman in my...life

[Breeze54]

67. Oh, you brought a tear to my eye with those lyrics....

Love is a beautiful thing! You are very lucky to have found it! :)

[elfrangel]

100. I cried too when he played it for me..

It's even more beautiful with the music, IMHO.


Yeah...I think so too. :)

[Guava Jelly]

72. I talked on the phone to a very dear DU'er friend

:D..
I didn't work today.
I have a cold Grolsch beer right now and I'm listening to Bob Dylan.
My mood is Happy..

[Breeze54]

76. Sounds like a great day to me!

:toast:

:D

[Guava Jelly]

79. Yes it was..

:toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

74. I had incredible sex!

Also, I had wonderful early morning cuddles, I bought beautiful Alpaca yarn for socks, I'm spending lovely time with my husband talking about our future child and its' birth. Good times. :)

[Breeze54]

77. Wonderful times!!!

It's nice to see others so happy and enjoying life!

Good luck with your future plans!

;)

[bicentennial_baby]

80. Seriously...I can't wait!

We're holding off until at least 1/2 way through my last year of school (this coming year)...We're discussing why I want a homebirth, if possible, etc, etc.
I can't wait to be a momma! :D

:hi:

And thank you :hug:

[MrSlayer]

82. I got to see Slayer from the front row.

And, as usual, they did not disappoint. Took my son with me and he got to see his first real concert. A splendid night overall.

[Breeze54]

85. Awesome!! You're a good Dad!

Isn't it fun, taking your kid to a rock concert? I had a blast when I took mine to his first.
He was a little nervous, I think but now he goes to concerts with his friends all the time!
That's kind of why I took him besides the fact, I wanted to go! ;)

Glad you both had a great time! :toast:

[MrSlayer]

95. Yes, it was excellent.

It was cool how all the fans around us also thought it was great to have him there. He knows all the words and headbangs like an old schooler. I was very proud.

[SPKrazy]

84. A dear friend talked to me

at 3 in the morning about my woes... and I am blessed that I have friends like that in my life.

I also have good friends here and in real life that are helping me stay sane... well sort of :D

:hi:

[Breeze54]

86. That is a true friend!

One that will listen to your worries and woes at 3 AM!!

You are loved!! that's awesome! :D

:hug:

Sanity? What's that? :rofl: A far distant memory to me! :P

[SPKrazy]

88. I am and you are right

it is awesome

:hug:


sanity is a distant memory to me too i think :D

[ms liberty]

87. I've had a migraine since Wednesday AM, and had a paper due at midnight last night...

I knew I couldn't get it finished in time; I'd set aside Weds & Thurs night to finish it. I emailed my instructor and asked for an extension til 6 pm today (Saturday); she replied by giving me til midnight tomorrow(Sunday). I feel like I won the lottery. God bless that woman!

[Breeze54]

89. Ugh! Migraines have to be the worst!

It sounds like you have an instructor with a heart.
That's great that you got an extension! What a relief, eh?

I hope you're feeling better soon! :hug:

Good luck with your paper. ;)

[Madrone]

90. I got a package I wasn't expecting yesterday.

Inside was a brand new Skyfi2 XM radio receiver and a car kit. And one year prepaid service. Courtesy of the best man in my life EVAH ..... GOPisEvil. :D


And last night I got a nice, quiet night alone. Much appreciated and overdue.

[Breeze54]

91. Wow!! Now that's a really nice gift and surprise!!

How thoughtful! I didn't know you two were an item!

Cool! :)

I love surprises and quiet nights in my house!

I get to run around naked! :P

:rofl:

[Madrone]

112. Well ... on the days he decides to claim me, anyway.

;)

He is VERY thoughtful and continues to prove it on a daily basis. Cool birthday present - and something I'd *never* pay for myself. I'm not in the car much, but so far I'm enjoying playing with it.

Quiet nights in the house are the BEST.

[femmocrat]

92. We had our wedding anniversary.

We went out to dinner with my son and his girlfriend. After dinner, we did a little shopping and found a new kitchen table and chairs... after weeks of looking! :)

[Breeze54]

93. Congratulations on your anniversary!!

That sounds like a wonderful, fun-packed night!

.. Here's to many more!

[femmocrat]

94. Thank you so much!

:hi:

[NC_Nurse]

96. My kids helped us get unpacked.

We just moved and it's been crazy. My daughter came home and helped organize the pantry.
My son helped take stuff to the recycling center and the thrift shop.
I got a nice note from some new tenants thanking me for welcoming them to the area.
My husband fixed my internet connection and it's running great now!
Yay!
:D

[Breeze54]

97. I want your family!!!

:P

What a relief to have so many helping hands!

That's great!! You are surely blessed! ;)

Congrats on your new digs!

I'm moving in a few months and I'm dreading it.
A lot of prep work involved beforehand. :(

[NC_Nurse]

99. Thanks, sweetie!

You are doing the right thing by starting early! I read something on MSN the other day about moving.
They suggested packing up your closets FIRST and then moving to the other stuff. I wish I had done that! :P
We ended up throwing clothes into trash bags and running the last day!
It was pretty AWFUL!
I'm starting to like my new place tho....:-)

[Breeze54]

102. Actually, I have to pack up the kitchen first or at least

the most of the extras or I'll be doing nothing but dishes!
Actually, that's all I've been doing. :grr:
If I can limit the use of extra pans and good china, then
I'll have more time to clean out the closet, basement, etc.
One plate, cup, glass, bowl each! At least that's my plan! :P

[Lisa]

98. all 17 of the rare-breed chicken eggs I've been incubating have hatched ...

It started yesterday, and the last stragglers were done this morning. This is the best hatch survival ratio I've ever had! The woman who'll be adopting the chicks is just thrilled, and in the meantime I have a couple of weeks to play with the birds and get them used to people. One of them already recognizes me -- likes being held, and even squeezed out between the bars of the brooder cage to go looking for me!


And yesterday I went to one of the local anti-poverty organizations in town. Several months ago I started working with them, on a project to provide advanced scientific and graphing calculators to kids whose families were unable to afford them. (I thought it was shameful that politicians talk a lot about education and ensuring kids are interested in science and technology, while there are high school students in our city who are actually dropping upper-level math classes because the specialized equipment costs as much as 2 weeks of groceries.)

Anyway, as the start of school in September is getting closer, I became concerned that I hadn't heard anything from the people at the organization. I really wanted to get some info on numbers and types of calculators needed, so I could start shopping around for multiple lots on eBay. I tried to explain to them that my income is fairly limited, so if I can get 60 calculators for the price of 50, it would be a big help to have enough time to work that deal out.

I was pleasantly surprised when people were really friendly and straightforward with me. NGOs often have a hard time keeping staff, because there is so much to do and people frequently burn out and lose patience -- but in this case they did have someone on it. It seemed that they had been collecting the information I needed, but the person who was in charge was on vacation and hadn't gotten around to contacting me yet. They have a lot of other stuff to do, but they did their best to get it together for me, so I wouldn't have to get back in touch later.

And they also promised to remove my name from the solicitation list and didn't get huffy about it -- I told them that I feel so guilty when pleas for more donations keep arriving, and I can't do anything about it. I don't mind not being thanked (in fact I asked them to take my name off the acknowledgements roll, because I didn't want the kids receiving the calculators to think that this was just "pity") -- but it really tears me up when the solicitations for stuff that I can't afford keep rolling in.

[Breeze54]

101. You are one very busy, organized and kind woman!! WoW!!

I would LOVE to see the baby chicks hatching! How cute! :)

Scientific and and graphing calculators?

And you got companies to donate them? That's awesome!!

They cost $100.00? For one? I've seen them cheaper than that!

:yourock: Where are they needed? What state are you in?

Not that I have any but I might know someone. I can ask!! :D

Keep on, keeping on! You make me tired just reading all that you're doing! :rofl:

[lost-in-nj]

104. Went to the mall

with my daughter, did some credit card damage
and had an awesome time with her.....

she is my angel.......


lost

[Breeze54]

106. Shopping is always fun!

I hope you got some good stuff and deals!
Spending fun like that with your kid is the best! :)

I think that's one thing I miss having, a daughter to go shopping with me.
I can't even bribe my son to go shopping, even when it's for him! He's never
liked being in stores, except now because he's getting paid to be there! :P

[Godhumor]

105. My wife and I moved to Buffalo 48 hours ago

We're still in the midst of settin gup house, but its nice to be back in Erie County (I did my undergrad out here). The cats, alas, are still hiding under the bed and dresser.

[Breeze54]

108. Welcome Home!

What a relief that must be, huh?!

Congratulations on your new house!! :thumbsup:

Good luck with all that snow though!! :rofl:

[Godhumor]

109. Oh, I spent most of my life in Rochester...

I'm used ot the snow, and I'm proud of Western New Yorkers. Every time there's a blizzard during rush hour I see all the cars pulled to the side of the street...right next to the bars. When we're snowed in, there's nothing like getting snowed to feel warm.

[TommyO]

107. Friends reached out to me, worried that something had happened to me

because they hadn't heard from me since Tuesday - admittedly my fault, but I'm glad they were worried!

[Breeze54]

110. It feels good to be missed, doesn't it?!

:P

My sister says that to me all the time. "Where've ya been?"

"Hey", I tell her, "I do have a phone and an e-mail addy. Use it!"

Thanks!! You just reminded me that it's her birthday tomorrow!

Off to send her a card! ;) Holy cow! She's 59!!

[TommyO]

111. I doubt she's 59!

If she's anything like me, she's on 29.something!

[Breeze54]

115. LOL! You're right!

I won't mention that!! :P

I know she has to work tomorrow, so I was thinking of dropping off
some flowers and a cake with a card in the wee early morning hours.
On her doorstep. That might cheer her up. ;)

116. I always reuse and take my own "green" bags to the grocery,

but never see anyone else doing it.

Today, as I packed up my car I saw another woman bringing her own bags. I rolled down the window and said that is great, and she was like I think we are the only ones. I said, well, good for us.

119. Wow, I live in the" nice stuff happens" bubble--

This morning was Saturday, so I didn't have to work--got to sleep--YAAAAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

I got to be on Internets at my leisure this AM with nobody bugging me whie I drank my coffee (iced, with a scoop of protein shake)--

I visited my parents, and they are getting a new puppy soon, which is good because our Casey (A 15-yr old German shepard-mostly mutt, of incredible dignity and intelligence) passed recently, and they are beside themselves with need for new baby to love--

I had spare time for doing my nails and getting a facial, which makes me feel pretty--

I went with my parents to Target to print out the wedding registry list for my cousin's wedding, which is kind of important since the shower is next weekend--

Me and the wubboo had...quality time...and I ate some of my grapes from my yard--they were pretty good!

I have had good beer this PM and am posting on DU.

It's been all good.

121. I can tell that

you don't have kids!! :P

I'm glad you had such a nice day! That's great!

I think a lot of us would like one of those "nice stuff happens bubbles"!

122. went to a rummage sale

....and found a lovely mid-century modern birch cabinet that's just the ticket for the dining room, to hold serving pieces and linens. Best part -- $5.

Then I saw on craigslist a notice about a yard sale with 200 cookbooks. Rushed to it and got quite a few cool ones for a quarter apiece. And I bought the vintage tablecloth right off the table, too, for a buck. It's a good one from the '50s, with cherries and apples.

THAT, to me, is a very good day. I meant to go to the farmers' market for berries and cucumbers for pickles, but that will have to wait.

123. I spent a wonderful late evening with my wife...

...and at 1:00 a.m. the gentle caress of a cool summer breeze brushed lightly over our bodies.

:D
