What made you smile today?

[Honey]

I sent someone a dirty text message ( shocking, yes I know !)...It was really dirty ! Something about a big c**k and my soft feminine face..ANYWAY...my finger slipped as I was driving ( I know, I know )...and I sent the dirty cock text to my NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR !!! The response in in phone was this: "..Wait !...I thought you were gay ? I am confused".....Hmm..there it is !!! True story !!

A little girl made me smile today. I work retail and the holidays can be so much of a chore for me that I forget my christmas spirit at the door. My mind wanders to the long list of things that I need to get done, and how little time I have to do it all in.

Today I happened to be working in the toy department, and there was a mother and daughter shopping. I asked them if they needed help many times but they said they were fine. I overheard the conversation they were having, and basically they were shopping for christmas. The have had a bad year, and someone gave them a gift card to my store to buy the little girl a christmas gift, otherwise she wouldnt have had anything.

She couldnt decide what she wanted. She only had so much money and she kept going back and forth and THEN she saw it. This doll house, and she just wanted it so bad. I kept hearing her say omg mom its got this and this...and then I heard her mom say, "you should get something else, if you get this house you wont be able to buy anything else, and the dog ate your last barbie" She looked so sad. She kept trying to find ways to make it work but they just didnt have the money and there wasnt anything the mother could do.

So, after a little bit of deliberation and chattering back and forth in my head I walked up to the little girl and told her to go pick out a barbie, that I would buy it for her. She couldnt believe it, and she started to cry and so did her mom. She went and picked out the cheapest barbie we had, but I saw her admiring another one. I knew she didnt wanna ask because it was more expensive, so when she wasnt looking I grabbed that one also. She got her dollhouse and the Two barbies I got her.

So, long story, but I guess I found my spirit today. Seeing the smile on that little girls face made my day so much brighter, I am so glad that I was in a position to help, and thankful to be reminded about how blessed I truly am.

She made my day...actually probably my year.

Ooops, that should read 'Making'....

Me and my sis, preparing traditional Puerto Rican Christmas specialties, such as pasteles, pernil, etc. The house smells amazing, and I know mami is hovering somewhere overseeing the preparation. Mami, I know I could never make it as good as you, but I'm coming in a pretty close second! So wonderful to be with my loved ones at this time of year - beats staying home staring at 4 walls anytime! Thank you Lord for enabling me once again.

[ArkansasPiscesGrrl]

Got a call this morning from someone I work with through my company. She wanted to tell me she had referred a client to me for my business. This man called, he runs the only minority-focused mental health/substance abuse service in a western state. He and I had a wonderful, 2-hr conversation about his company, and what I might be able to bring to it. I worked up a contract for him, sent it, and within 20 min it was signed and sent back to me! No quibbles about my charges at all!

So now I have a treatment facility in CA, one in WA, and in Feb I am due to take on a 3rd in CO! My company is growing by leaps and bounds!

I was telling my daughter today, as I took her to lunch to celebrate, that her brothers had both harped at me for YEARS that I should open my own business, that the fact that I have 25+ yrs experience doing what I do counts for a LOT, and that I would be awesome as a business owner. I was always too afraid before. But last summer, I walked through those huge fears (feeling scared and shaky the whole time, of course!), and pretty much faked the confidence till it started to come on its' own.

My daughter listened in while I spoke to this guy today, and she was so very proud of me. I was pretty proud myself. Could not get the grin off my face during lunch! Yeah ME! Not bad for a 59 yr old chick!

[Julien]

I had a very open, honest, and revealing discussion with my Mom about me being Transgender. It was more than what I could hope for. My mom is 81 and this is all so new for her, but she had been thinking about me and who I am. It was in fact something that only needed to be clarified and not anything earth shaking for her. It is great to have it all out in the open for further discussions.

My lone present under the tree from my Sister-in-law and Brother. It was perfect as usual. I was looking forward to opening it because she somehow seems to always send me perfect stuff. Even though we are TOTALLY different and haven't seen each other in two years. She somehow always knows. :D

[AtLast]

My usual visit with my dog to a local nursing home. I did this on Thanksgiving too. So many elderly people in homes miss being able to have a pet and just love stroking my little guy and telling him about what is on their mind. He is a good listener. Also, since we do visit this place on holidays, he recognizes folks and makes them feel extra- special with his wiggles of familiarity. Sometimes it is hard because we arrive and there have been residents that have passed away. But I have the memories of the stories about their dogs or cats that they told me while enjoying my frog Dog. I don't care at all that many of the stories are repeated- it is just nice to feel like these folks have a chance to interact with a pet for a bit and "brag on" their fur babies from the past. I love it that my dog is a calm and quiet little guy and social. He brings an awful lot of joy to me too.

It was so nice to read this. I miss you like crazy. Especially over the holidays. And it is making me smile to share this time with you, little sister of mine.

It also makes me smile when I think about mom and dad. Two gay daughters. One butch. One femme. Boy were they ever confused.

Let's keep that a secret. If science can figure out a way to isolate that gene and find markers for it in a fetus there may be a significant drop in gay children being born.

I imagine even the religious right would become a proponent of a woman's right to choose if a gay gene was located. That might make me smile. After I vomit.

And, I made a new friend.

Our grocery store card is not attached to anyone/any name. We use it all the time so it works for bonus' etc. But when I tried to register at the store site on line tonight it would not accept my info. So I called, we have a working card that was never actually registered.
We can come in to get it fixed.
this made me laugh

Can you elaborate on said "girl time"...I think I may need some of that ! Where the girlz at...?

Yesterdays girl time consisted of me and the little one scheming and plotting for our boyfriends V-Day presents... He got sent to change the laundry... and get a drink... and everything we could think of to keep him away from the computer while we planned... Hes going to go crazy with the curiosity before then... I love it... also... we filed our fingernails to points just to work him up!!

Chatting on yahoo :)

You weren't chatting to me... *pout*

family game time :)

I can't believe we finished a WHOLE game of scrabble with the kids, it was awesome!!!

Making a new friend.

[Kenna]

The fact that I went ALL day without my car's Brake Alarm going off!!! I was so happy on the way home that I went a whole day without that damn alarm driving me nutts! I'm so embarrassed but relieved that it just needed brake fluid!! .....$3.80 for one bottle (buy one get one free) is MUCH better than the HUGE repair bill I was so worried about!! It had me so flustered for DAYS that all I could think about was "HOW MUCH IS THIS GONNA COST ME NOW?" ..."PLEASE MAKE IT UNTIL I GET MY BONUS!".... and the day the alarm went off ALL the way to work... I yelled "SHUT THE HELL UP OR DIE, EITHER ONE, BUT LEAVE ME ALONE!".....

Thank goodness it was ONLY the brake fluid!!

I was a very happy, smiling woman on the way home.... now all I need is new tires, a ball joint/tie rod or bearings, air conditioner, lawn mower, washer/dryer and 2 window unit air conditioners.... before summer! May all the above go as easy as the $3.80 bottle of brake fluid!

Just been thinking of this today-

The holidays were to be difficult, with my children gone away & working so many hours at work.. & of course Our distance and missing Our loved ones - But, regardless of anything - Mtn and i BOTH completely enjoyed our first Christmas, because of our time spent together and making the best of everything... but also...

- the Zombie Christmas card exchange, along with exchanging Christmas cards with some other of Our friends, really helped make Our holiday bright ♥.. We opened cards together via Skype, and smiled much from sweet messages within those cards.. as well as messages via our profiles here on BFP..

We love this Community ♥

Today was just DANDY. When you are doing long distance, the little things really matter. We had a blast watching a marathon of a show we both like. I love hanging out with my girl. We are planning and looking forward to her next visit, 61 days! A light blanket of snow fell, the trees are flocked and pretty. Feeling peaceful and optimistic for the coming year. And of course HER always.

A set of microfleece sheets - pink - came to my office this morning. I sent a text to my daughter asking her if she wanted them (brand new, returning x-mas present). She said her boyfriend would have a problem with pink. I laughed. I could identify.

I'm famous, errr, infamous for doing things like that. When people leave, i'd put a tiny piece of tape under their trackball mouse or laser light, disabling the mouse. Creating a fake desktop that didn't actually have any pointer is also fun. Oh, and i've hidden a webcam (not plugged in, just tucked the wires away) in the vent in the ceiling of a coworker's office. She was all kinds of paranoid that she was being watched. Let's see, um, put plastic wrap over the toilet bowl (under the seat) in the men's bathroom, filled an office with balloons and TP'ed an office. This could be why i'm self-employed, eh?

A wonderful hair stylist....who made Rooster comfortable and chatty....then turned around and made mom feel good about her appearance again. The chemo has thinned her hair so much that she felt it was impossible to "look decent" and had just pulled it all back in a hair band.

This lovely lady, on hearing about the cancer and the chemo, took the extra time to show Mom how to blow dry in more volume....and mom left with a smile on her face, and a very flattering new style.

I am always impressed by people who take the time to be sensitive and kind. :rrose:

Would have loved to have seen that!

My smile came today when I got an invite from a friend to come watch the bowl game with her this Friday night. It will be good to see her new place, and really good for ME to get out of my apt/office space for a bit! I have been isolating for too long here, under the guise/excuse that I am too "busy".

(and even though she is just a good friend and there is NOTHING between us and never will be, she is the cutest little butch you could ever see. A wee bit of eye candy on a Friday night is NOT a bad thing!)

At the grocery store, the clerk and I were talking about how lazy we were today so I talked about how much I didn't want to make dog food but it had to be done. She said "Oh, that's why you buy all this stuff?" It's an odd assortment of food. So I told her "yes" and she said "someone is spoiled" and laughed. I said, "Yep, she's my baby."

She helped me carry the groceries out to the car and there was Blossom all happy and excited to see us and it was just such a sweet moment.
