What made you smile today?

[Tcountry]

My Iowa bff's very useful "2 cents" on relationships

[laruss]

Had a super fantabulous (yes that's a real word in my world) time at the dance tonight.
Danced all night.
Smiled all night.

I will not be smiling tomorrow however when I realize how painkillers and alcohol only hid how much pain I am in. Tomorrow will be rough.

[lusciouskiwi]

Went out to lunch today - good to be distracted for a few hours. My colleague and I decided to wander through the department store and I tried on a red blouse which surprisingly fitted me.

The colour was great, the fit not too bad but according to my colleague the ruffled/pleated Elizabethan-esq collar was a bit much. I felt that the extra padding for the grrls would have had them feeling a bit inadequate. Can't have the grrls feeling inadequate.

[WolfyOne]

Music, having the day off and it's Football Sunday.....a few private thoughts, too :)

[VintageFemme]

Sleeping in late ALWAYS makes me smile... waking up warm & cozy under two blankets & a comforter with a cold face in our first frost of the year, having the day off & my toothache feeling better are just lovely bonuses. And it's still early in the day! I'm ready for more smiles.

[JustLovelyJenn]

An unexpected phone call.

[lusciouskiwi]

Two young boys - maybe 9 or so? Taking turns to push out their chests as far as possible then pushing each other. And then laughing their heads off.

Was cute.

[cinnamongrrl]

My mother gave me a doggie bubbler...I've been wanting one since the dogs are always running out of water....and the cat shares it also....BUT....

the reason she gave it to me is because her big bad pit bull is afraid of it!!

[Duchess]

Finding my favorite cottage cheese on sale:hangloose:

[cinnamongrrl]

Driving home from work and seeing the moon peeking out from the clouds....the storm was gentle with us.....by comparison to the coast....and what the nor'easter did last year....I'm grateful for that...

Found Teddy outside when I got home...and we snuggled under the stars for a while and talked...the moon was brighter than it was inside since the power was out....lol

While we were outside the power came on very suddenly and we were able to keep our date to watch Bayou Billionaires. We made frozen pizza since the chicken and veggies I put in the crock hadn't quite finished cooking.....and there was wine to be had.....:wine: and oreos....not a bad night at all <3

[Blade]

getting a text from someone in the path of Frankenstorm, was worried about her when she didn't return a text last night.

[starryeyes]

Waking up to see my dog sleeping on his new dog bed! Justin and I trekked to Costco last night just for the dog bed, and when we brought it home, he could have cared less about it. Last night he decided to sleep on the hardwood floor next to the bed, instead of the bed. He gets nervous easily and it takes him time to adjust.

This morning when I woke up and he was rolling around on it, making doggie grunts. So cute.

<---- smile!

[Duchess]

Phone call from a good friend.:)

[Julien]

Being called "darling", made feel fantastic. :king:

Walking out of the bathroom and seeing the big wrinkley dog all curled up next to Him. Kissing him on the cheek and telling him I love Him, and Him always answering so groggy "I love you babe" before I leave for work. The littlest furkid always walking me to the front door to say goodbye :) What a GREAT way to start every morning!

[Talon]

NOTHING needs to make me smile today...I am a grinning idiot...:cheesy:

[cinnamongrrl]

I found an old 6 pane window frame for free.... I'm going to make something funky out of it.... :hangloose:

We got the cord for the laptop fixed... no more holding it JUSTT RIGHT...

We found a plethora of the orange husked red berries that I've been scouring the woods for......brought a bunch home and know where to find it if I need more :)

[Massive]

A great conversation on Skype.
So lucky to be able to have that connection, being able to talk face to face truly makes a difference!

[laruss]

Completing my required NaNoWriMo words for today. The goal was 1667, but I completed 1931. I am happy about this as I have lots of other work to do today.

[Duchess]

Plans for tomorrow:cheerleader:

[cinnamongrrl]

I got my schedule for next semester today! It's EXACTLY what I wanted....early enrollment makes ALL the difference. Now gotta fill out my FAFSA see if I get a droplet of help.... If not, 7 credits isn't that much of a burden...

also......

Spent the day with my beautiful lil niece. We went to the mall for some retail therapy. Her birds died in the power outage :( We got some after season bargains on Halloween stuff....etal.... :hangloose:

[Miss Scarlett]

A surprise phone call - a blast from the past...lol

[spritzerJ]

At parent teacher conferences I got to see the story The General wrote today. About pumpkin carving. The content of the story was fabulous. The pictures took my breath away. She labeled me and Stoney as mom. :praying:

[Bèsame*]

Smiling..

Find out where some boundries lay and not stepping on them.Looks good to me
.

[laruss]

Skyped with both my Granddaughters today. :)
One is 6 months and is sitting for ages, she just sits there and plays, but couldn't care less about rolling or crawling. The other is 6 and half months and is rolling, scooting backwards and moving everywhere. She only sits for a moment and then she gets herself going again.
I can't believe how different they are. I guess I shouldn't be surprised their mothers are like night and day, absolutely nothing in common until they both got pregnant at the same time.
Skyping with my girls makes me smile.

[cinnamongrrl]

Just watching the CMAs...loving the tunes....and almost all of my favorites won!!!!!!! :hangloose:

Walked into the first half of the swing shift today and was greeted by a kid...

kid: I hear you're making breakfast for dinner tonight
me: you heard right
kid: can i just say I don't care for scrambled eggs
me: I'm cooking eggs to order. what do you like?
kid: I like omlets but.......
me: okay, not a problem
kid: omg you will fix me an omlet? I haven't had someone fix those for me except in a restaurant... and that has only been a couple of times. thank you thank you thank you!

Little things that make these kids feel worthy of who they are and what they like is all I need to brighten my day on the job. so blessed to be able to give them the little things every now and then :)
:badcook:

[MissItalianDiva]

Work, anticipating the next two weeks (busy!) and just enjoying life :)

[Massive]

Spending the afternoon with the relics (twice in one week, it's a miracle no blood was spilled lol), my little brother Jon came along too, which was nice cos he rarely gets to see them due to work, managed to get a pack of coloured card so I can make christmas cards, some writing paper so I can write to some friends, found a glow stick frog for my brother's gf who loves all things frog and then got home to a kitty dash out the front door as I opened it, followed by being told all about her day, then being led to her food bowl, and ending with her snuggled up in her blanket, snoring away beside me now!

What made me smile today was seeing all the Birthday wishes on my Facebook from my friends and family*S* Was nice to see....

[easygoingfemme]

A very close friend of mine moved from NY to Indiana earlier this year. She is really tight with my daughter, they have this bond I can't describe. They are almost 800 miles apart now and still email each other regularly. I love moments like today when my daughter comes down and tells me about this stream of conversation that they've been having literally for days, and I had no idea they were even talking this week.
When they lived here, My daughter and my friend would sit together knitting , discussing books, effective pioneering techniques for modern day living, and how to properly interact with fairies. No matter that at the time one was 11 years old and the other was 40.
Their ongoing connection regardless of the miles between makes me smile.

[easygoingfemme]

Also loving that the same friend as referenced above is now distracting herself from her NANOWRIMO project by sending me emails calling me ridiculous names. Because that's a game we play, who can come up with the most idiotic name for the other. But I'm not letting her play because she's supposed to be writing a novel. Which is what I'm supposed to be doing now. 'bye.

[laruss]

Driving from Summerland to Penticton to Osoyoos to Keremeos to Hedley and back to Penticton and then home to Summerland in a big circle. Beautiful views. I am loving my new home.

The weather was a absolutely gorgeous, only needed a jacket when we got back to town.

We explored quaint old towns, veggie markets, wineries, craft sales, lakes, small stores and so much more. I wish I had brought my big camera.

And who knew I am now only an hour from the American border. I thought I was further North then that. Next time I will bring my passport for my outings.

It was a great day of exploring.

[WolfyOne]

My rescues, especially the one that always plops over and rolls around in front of me when I'm sitting at my desk.

I smile at the Universe for allowing me to wake every morning with good thoughts of a beautiful day to come.

The trailer park kitties that I feed every morning and the one that now meets me on the porch steps as I'm opening my door to leave for work at 5:30am.

The simple things in life make me smile.

Lastly, today is Football Sunday and I'm able to watch whatever teams my local stations are showing....yay!!!!

With all that said......BIG smile today on me :)

[VintageFemme]

Getting an 'extra' hour today!
I never set my clocks back the night before in the Fall. I always always save it for the day 'of' so that when I decide I need a little extra time whether it's in the morning or one more hour before bedtime, I can give it to myself. I know it's a mind game but it works and I love it.

[Miss Scarlett]

The encouragement and support of some wonderful people...

Celebrating my best friend AND my sister's birthday today! :heartbeat:

[DMW]

I called my 2nd Grade teacher today and left a message on her answering machine.(at least i think it is hers)
I am still grining at the thought of it. And my heart is warm with
fond memories of her and the thought of seeing her...Ms..J...my second grade teacher. She was...well, one of my favorites. I should say that.... she was really.... my very special, first favorite, teacher. In fact, my best female friend growing up, she is still in this town and gave me a number that she got from her mother....that we all think may be my (our) teacher's phone number. We will go together and visit her (cause my friend wants to go but was afraid to call) and i will take her flowers. I just want to thank her for how supportive she was...for everything she did as a teacher. And for watching out and taking care of my little bro. He got lucky and had her for a 2nd grade teacher also. She was the best. And she shoud know that. I want to tell her that.

[Canela]

And with the surge of hyper-activity I've felt the last week or so, I decided to spend it organizing, paring down, re-positioning things and cooking and baking...so, there's that...

Having the extra hour today has been good to me...

Music playing in the background as I work...

All the hugs from my friend Spritzie and the General...

The awesome picture Tommi left on my page!...

Getting ready to go do my nails in a bit...

Life is mostly quiet, and it feels good, too...

Yep, It's a smiling kinda day--mostly. I WILL smile, dammit!

After a week of no power, water, or heat...our lights came on tonight!! We have lights, and heat, and running water again!! Woo hoo!! Although I am thrilled that I can finally take a LONG hot shower...my heart is still broken for all that lost so much in this storm. Friends who have nothing but the clothes on their back. I did do my heart good though to drive around today and see that the donation drops are overflowing with food, clothes, etc... It kinda restores my faith in humanity.

[laruss]

I love my new home. I was driving along the lake and just smiling at the thought that I get to see this view each and every day. I feel like I am exactly where I belong. I am a water girl and it truly makes me happy to live so close now.:cheesy:

This weekend changed my life forever. As you all know Minnesota is one of the states that have the Minnesota Same-Sex Marriage Amendment on the ballot. Well I could no longer hide who I am... So I posted my story on my facebook for the world to see and my small town of 350 ppl the very town my mother still lives in. The people have changed my life for ever!

Here is my story............

I was a little girl just like you. I was your friend growing up.
I was your babysitter, your teammate, your student, and your classmate. You voted me Spring Fest Queen in high school and Athlete of the Year. I am a daughter, a godchild, a sister and an Aunt. I’m your co-worker. I’m the friend you call when you need help.

Why I’m Voting NO on the Minnesota Same-Sex Marriage Amendment, Amendment 1

I lived in fear my entire life and today I will no longer live in fear for who I am. I was in so much fear I wasn’t able to tell my own mother my truth, the truth of who I am. I lived in fear of losing my friends. In fear of being bullied and in fear of being laughed at or not being able to play sports because of who I am. My biggest fear of all was for my mother her living in a small town and of how small towns always have a few that “whisper.” I’m sure there will be a few after hearing or reading this.

I thought I was protecting her and my family when in fact I was only hurting myself. Although I protected her and my family the only way I knew how, HIDE. I hid who I really was. I am now ashamed for hiding my truth from my mother whom I love so very much, the very person that brought life to me 47 years ago and took me 46 years to tell. I was afraid to share what I’ve been through and go through daily because of who I am. She said, “she loves me no matter what.”

I am not going to hide anymore. I am gay. I am no different than the person sitting next to you. The same person you grew up with, the same person you worked beside, the same person that babysat your children. I’m the same person that laughed with you at the bar or played ball with and currently in the state of Minnesota, the state I have called home my entire life, the state that I love, it is illegal for me to marry the one I love.

Amendment 1 does not legalize gay marriage, but it keeps discrimination out of Minnesota’s constitution.

Let me ask you. How do you love your mother? How do you love your sister, your best friend? How do you love your spouse? Please tell me, why is my love any different than yours? I was good enough back in high school to be Athlete of the year and Spring Fest Queen but not good enough to have the same rights you have.

I hope that by talking about this it may change some peoples thinking.. So when you go to check that box ….. I beg you to Vote NO on Amendment 1! Amendment 1 changes the Minnesota constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman and takes us farther away from equality; to me it is out right discrimination.

Please do not allow them to put discrimination in our constitution it only hurts me, millions of others, and generations to come.

LOVE is LOVE and is bigger than any government! VOTE NO!!

My little town and surrounding area's have been so supportive. My mom has gotten phone calls of people crying and saying they are so sorry they didn't support me more growing up. It's been a beautiful experience I can't even explain it.

[morningstar55]

Finally getting our power back on after six days of darkness.

I smiled, woohooed, jumped up and down for joy and cried a little.

glad your ok over there... NJFemme..

[girl_dee]

WOW!!!!!!!!! STRAPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope your voice and words will be heard!

[easygoingfemme]

I was working a phone bank at Obama Headquarters today, rallying the final 48 hours before election day.
Scanning who was there with me when I first got settled in, about 40 of us on a Sunday afternoon. 38 women. Two of whom must have been nearing or over 90 years old. Using cell phones and laptops to call people and remind them to vote. Big smile and heart about to burst with love for them.
I wish I could have talked to them and learned more of their story, but they made me smile just the same.

One woman I called (we were calling Ohio) spent 15 minutes telling me all of the places she has seen support for Obama there in Ohio, including Stevie Wonder being there playing music at one of the early vote sites.

Best call was with an 87 year old woman who told me she never votes early because election day, and her ability to vote, is sacred, and she and her husband walk to the polls together every year.

There were women who told me they weren't going to vote, but I'm not going to talk about them here. Humph.

[Kelt]

I just watched this little documentary. It's on Netflix and Amazon.

It made me smile today. :)

Sleeping in, waking up on MY time to the sun filling my bedroom, warm cozy under the blankets & comforter w/ a cold face. I LOVE that!

Aaaaaand that it's finally election day. On my way to vote in just a few!

But first, one more cuppa tea :) aka a smile in a cup.

[Bèsame*]

made me smile..

Seeing the two little kids at the elementary school, showing me the way to the library to vote. I wanted to take them home with me.

[SelfMadeMan]

Taking someone to vote who wouldn't have voted (for Obama) otherwise :)

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

[Teddybear]

Waking up with my baby at the butt crack of dawn on a day we could have.slept in
Breakfast at the.local diner then....

Mohegan Sun for my baby's 1st trip to a casino. There was fun to be had. Ate lunch at the buffet that was out of this world. We walked out poorer but not as bad as it could have been. Fun was had by us both

[cinnamongrrl]

Teddy whisked me off for a day date at the Mohegan Sun casino in CT! It was my first time ever going...my eldest child has actually gone before I have! We had a blast...played a lot of slots, had a wicked good lunch and looked around at alllll the nice stores..... Hello Tiffany's! (and Godiva....and Pandora...lol)

Definitely worth the trip for my fellow New Englanders!

:moonstars:

Now we are both tuckered out and ready to sit down to some election results with the lil pups and the large cat....I MAY be persuaded to make some nummy popcorn! :)

[MissItalianDiva]

My lil bits....knowing Mittens is out the door....hearing him come in and kiss my cheek...seeing how hot he looks when he stands there in his uniform with one hand on his gun and a big grin...gets me everytime

[cinnamongrrl]

I forgot to mention.....going to the casino gave me an opportunity to wear my new skirt that I LOVE....and the much lusted after leather boots that I have had for some time..... :)

Some days I just have to be uber girly..... :)

[VintageFemme]

Watching these beauties every day makes me smile. I am completely in love.

My co-worker telling me this story:

Her, her daughter, and her granddaughter were watching the election coverage last night. Her granddaughter is 4. After discussing how the color-coded US looks like a puzzle, her mom asks her who she would vote for. After some thought Granddaughter says Obama. Mom asks why?....


Granddaughter says.....

"Because Obama rhymes with LLAMA"

Best. Reason. Ever. :D

[DMW]

This song popping into my head made me smile. And the thought of the lovely women that have brought that special grace to my life.

Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight from Swing Time (movie scenes) - YouTube

Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you
a-just the way you look tonight

Mm, Mm Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look tonight

[easygoingfemme]

A car full of teenagers this morning who hadn't seen each other since Election night comparing notes on the general states of crazy in their various households. Hysterical descriptions of panic and relief were told.

The same teens realizing that all of them, except for my daughter, will be old enough to vote in the next presidential election. (she'll be 5 months shy of 18) and then devising ways to sneak her in to vote or make her a fake id, issue a new birth certificate, so that they could all go vote in their first presidential election together. Me laughing internally how it's not crossing any of their minds to make her 21 so she can buy them booze. They just want her to be able to exercise her right to vote.

A generally stoic girl at our school group this morning. She's one of those who hardly ever speaks and then when she does, it's always a zinger. She cracks me up. Today is her birthday. She was wearing this hat.
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/sockco_2233_16749651
I have the same exact hat. So I grabbed her by the earflaps the conversation went like this

Me: I have the same hat! (spoken in excited girly type voice)
She: You do?!! (In an unprecedented excited girly type voice coming form her)
Me: Yes, we need to plan a dress alike day! (grabbing her hands)
Her: OMG we so do! (grabbing my hands back and jumping up and down)
Unison: SQUEEEE!
Instantly followed by stoic face returning, a fist bump, and both of us walking our own directions.

A few minutes later, a 6 yo comes in, who lost a tooth last week. She showed me how she lost another tooth this week, the same one I told her was going to come out next. She told me it was far too sacred of a tooth to give to the fairies so she kept it and now carries it with her.

Just after I recover from that, in comes an 8 yo with her hands waving in the air, crying out "It's Sacrelig! Just Sacrelig"!
Me: Um, honey, everything okay?
She: so-and-so (insert poor 8yo boys name) won't read Harry Potter II!

Later in the day, many smiles, watching our teens happy playing in the sun out on the playground, like they are still little kids.

[Massive]

A phone call from Mum, she might be getting the chance to go to Africa to work with and study Rhino's, but she's worried about leaving me, my brother and her cat, need to work on this ... :deepthoughts:

My only student was gone today, so I got to help out in the elementary office. I filed papers, ran errands, and did various tasks. When I finished up everything they could find with an additional 45 min left on my shift, the secretary told me to go ask the principle where else I could be useful. I found him in the lunch room and told him I had finished the filing, was there anything else I could help out with. His response was that he was sure the secretary would have something else. I said, nope, all done. He looked a little shocked... and his next response will have me smiling all day... he said...

Well then, continue with your awesomeness.

[Trev]

A nice Sunday and this morning spent with my babe. It was needed! ... and I can't wait for our next days together spending time with her and our lil pup out exploring and making memories and cuddling. :)

[DMW]

She called me back....she called me back! Ms J.
My second grade teacher... that i adore, admire and love so much!:blush:
I think she is 80 now. Not sure.
I was worried that she had gone south for the winter.
That is what my friend (who was afraid to call her
last week) thought was possible.
So, i left a message on Miss J's machine.

I had to explain to her that i was trans and that i had changed. I had to
remind her of who i was by telling her my old name and then to tell her
my new name. I was so excited and nervous and happy. I was at work..so,
kinda outta sorts and didn't recognize the number.
In the middle of explaining I said...it's the marshmellow...
the star...:blush: and then i told her about being trans and my name etc...
and she said..."My marshmellow?, it's you?" I can't wait to see her.
I seriously am sitting here and i can't get over it....she kept thanking
me and telling me..."well, this is just the best call ever"

I gotta say, this teacher....changed lives. An absolutely beautiful human being.
And i thank God that i get to tell her to her face and hug her.

Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs) Feat. Michael Stipe (R.E.M) - To Sir with Love - YouTube

and she kept thanking me....and i said...."No, thank you".
that is how the conversation had to end. She gave directions to her house.
and i think now,...I can't pay her or thank her enough
for the love the gifts the lessons....so many children...she made better people...
And parents...she taught them.

The others when they hear that i got to see her...will be jealous.
I want to do more to thank her. To thank her for them. I will.
My friend, that was afraid to call... that plans to go with me...is ecstatic!

In fact, I've looked at it several times since then...work eluded me :|

[Soon]

a (hot) memory

[easygoingfemme]

My kids in our homeschool group. Especially the first lil' one who ran up to me for a big hug this morning wearing: Purple sneakers, pink tights, a pink ballerina fairy dress, fairy wings, and a big floofy scarf tied onto a hair band around her head. And she has these fantastic pink framed glasses.

The second hug was from her little sister wearing red shoes, stretch pants with retro flowers all over them, a striped sweater, purple framed glasses, and 6 pigtails.

More smiles when it was time for chess class and me and another mom decided to mess with the teacher who was trying to teach a three year old the names of the chess pieces so we started calling them "the chocolate kisses" and "the princess crown" and other silly names to mess with the teacher and makes the kids laugh more than learn.

It was just that kind of day.

[PaPa]

Being able to help a friend today...
Hoping their holiday is much better than it would have been.
