[candy_coated_bitch]

A sweet conversation with my love.

Aaaaand, the robot zombie unicorn.

[cinnamongrrl]

The anticipation of good things to come..... :)

[tomboystud]

Waking up to an email from her. After texting her good morning receiving one back immediately. Her being there for me the past couple days when things haven't been good in my world. Her standing still.

[tomboystud]

The way I can hear the smile in her voice as she hears my voice. The way we respect each other. The way we listen to each other. The way we are able to work through things.

67 degrees and rain on my morning run. My fav running weather.

[Daktari]

Sitting in the sun, in my own little roof terrace idyll...the beer swilling numpties aren't out yet today.

[Princess]

waking up in the middle of the night to a cute cuddly kitty and his snoring big brother..now that im officially awake, seeing them play together. My big boy Sponge really needed something to get him up and moving again, and the little one was just the trick!

[GraffitiBoi]

Being able to be there for a friend today. Not sure if I was much help, but it felt good.

[LukeCian]

Being officially accepted to the college !!! Yeah, still smiling from that happening yesterday. :)

Logging on to find some wonderful notes waiting. :)

A text from My Mom saying how proud she is of Me.

A long talk with My youngest brother.

New chapters. :)

[laruss]

Waking up to a clean house :)

[Genesis]

Amazing poetry and a hot cup of chamomile tea

[PinkieLee]

What made me smile...

a surprise lunch date with my boo.

Walking outside at work, and noticing a new baby calf in the field wobbling right after birth :)

[TheMerryFairy]

My own nerdy shyness and her voice!

[Wryly]

My barber trying to fix me up with another butch customer of his.
She/Hy is a cop - - so it might be worth it just for the handcuffs. ;)

[girl_dee]

listening to Sweet Caroline being sang at Fenway while watching the game....

[tomboystud]

Of course waking up to an email from her. Her making time for me this morning. The way we laugh with each other. The way she knows when I am smiling. The way she gets me. The way we are learning more about each other. The way we support each other in our journey.

[LukeCian]

Having a lunch date with My sweet friend. Good food and good company is the best combination.

Giggles over pumpkin curry. ;)

[Hollylane]

My Gaige, who again got a significant pay raise for all of her appreciated hard work, and a card I got in the mail that was signed with love, "Chessie, Chase, Obi, Chewy, Oliver, Max, Garriff, Perseus, and Zeus", that included a SB Gift Card. My boys & girl, and my butch, they are so good to me!

My eldest daughter....

She told me she wants to go back to the Carolinas with me when we go!

That has been the only hesitation I have had about relocating...now I'm very excited to look for a house!... :)

[KCBUTCH]

everything... :)

[luv2luvgirls]

A phone bomb this morning before 7 am! way to surprise a guy lol

[tomboystud]

Being the last person she wants to talk to before she goes to sleep. Sharing about our days. Winning the stud award!! Knowing I am not on her go away list.

[jac]

Talking with my mom tonight on the phone and realizing that she allows me to grow and experience and discover things without her opinion anymore. This isn't the same person who raised me. She too has grown over the years. I understand so much more and appreciate her wisdom and knowledge.

Taking in as much as I possibly can. :)

[~baby~doll~]

A wonderful talk followed by a hug time and a kiss before SHE left.

[LukeCian]

Thinking about conversations had. Laughter. The buzz of the cell.

Oh wait, did I mention June 18th??? *laughing*

Helping another volunteer that works with Me get the forms she needed to give to her daughter for rental assistance.

The promise of a fun filled weekend !!

[tomboystud]

Getting a text from her to see where I was. Her telling me she was missing me. Being able to talk to her this morning while she worked. The word play we play with each other.

[~baby~doll~]

precious lilac and bright yellow water lilies, i will carry the smile the whole day.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Seeing the post card for my show. They are amazing!!

[cinnamongrrl]

Orientation went wonderfully :)

My company is just amazing. I have never known such generosity. I found out today that besides mileage (.55/mile) and generous vacation time, they also have an expense account. So, if a client wants to go out to lunch, I just submit my receipt and the cost of my meal is covered!

It's so nice to find such a lovely, accepting, gay-friendly work place. I really feel like I will be appreciated here...and the best part is they REALLY encourage continuing our educations. I have found a lovely home away from home. :)

Oh! AND...my actual title is.....wait for it...."Professional Angel" It says so right on my job description!

:angel:

[Bard]

Waking up to the sound of the rain with my wife cuddled next to me and our kitty girl snuggled on my other side it does not get any better then this:moonstars:

[CA_BabyCakes]

A good morning, lots of smiles!

[Bèsame*]

smiling..... going home from work today early. I won't mind the errands.

[Princess]

For those of you who don't know me, I work a wonderful job in retail. Today I was stuck behind customer service for half of my day and I wasn't exactly happy about it. I had an especially difficult customer, and following her I had several compliments about how well I handled the situation. They all told me how pleasant I was and how much they appreciated me. It put a huge grin on my face! Today I ended my day thinking...retail isn't so bad. :)

[Velvetkitten]

Hys voice, a txt, an email and abundant joy and love. Blessed in all areas of my life:)

[MissItalianDiva]

Everything! My life is pretty freakin amazing right now. Iam loving 2013

[cinnamongrrl]

Stopping by my mom's...and being invited to a nummy dinner... :)

Finding out that my youngest was recruited to do some modeling by a girl at her school who is a fashion major :)

Her telling me that I impress her. Her telling me about her day. Her answering the phone when I stopped at the gas station so I could just hear her voice. Her helping me unwind after I got home.

Careen will be coming home to me soon... <3


:praying:

[tomboystud]

Coming home and talking to her. Listening to her tell me bad jokes and I laugh anyway. The way we describe what it going on between us. She makes me smile and amazingly enough loves to hear me smile.

[Bèsame*]

[MysticOceansFL]

Family and Friends:glasses:

[Hollylane]

My neighbors, Sonia & Francisco, just text messaged me, because they remembered that I am going fishing in the morning...

"Hollylane, do you need worms? You never have to buy them, you know how we love hunting them at midnight! Come and get them if you need them, we're almost home from the park!"

They are amazingly thoughtful, even after spending a long day at the park, selling homemade food and sodas.

[LukeCian]

So far, being here visiting My Mom..she just makes Me smile and laugh.

Thinking about how Life can change so quickly...when the unexpected arrives and leaves you smiling :)

Knowing that there really is good in the world, and that you should never close yourself off to letting it in.

[SnackTime]

Watching 8-9 manatees with a few calves slowly swim through while I was fishing yesterday morning had to lift my pole so they would clear my line as they swam 3-4 wide.

Talking to Dad and listening to what he has planned for Tuesday.

Catching up with a childhood friend.

Morning coffee.

Text messages.

Quality time spent...

:cheesy:

[luv2luvgirls]

That it's storming out.. it is so peaceful to me

[tomboystud]

Waking up and calling her knowing she had to leave soon. Hearing her smile as I call her beautiful. Her understanding that I am no where near coherent with my first cup of coffee. Can I say enough her?

rRJ0lpu6XaU

[PaPa]

What made me smile today was my brother, sister-in-law and their dog going home so we can get this family back into our routine. No more messy, aggressive dog in the house that taunts Ginger. YES!

Side note: I am a dog lover, but I do get a little riled when the owner is NOT correcting the aggression or concerned about the dogs welfare. Nothing against Riley, but my brother needs to educate himself a little bit.

[Little Fish]

I'm sitting here getting some work done in my friend's cafe. The lunch rush is over now--Julia is my fave waitress, she says outloud (with a deep sigh) "I could go for a snack and a nap..."

The room spontaneously broke out into laughter and applause.
Good times, lovely day, all is well in my world. :-)

[Daktari]

Lots...but the drag queen show at The Flying Handbag was so duckin' funny.

[girllikeu2]

"I can't hold your hand now Baby. This is my mouse hand...* In response to me extending my hand on the couch during our mutual Facebook ignorefest.

[Hollylane]

6 hours of fishing at Henry Hagg Lake, 5.75 of those hours were without a nibble, and 4 of those hours I was alone out there.

At 4 hours in, some jerk showed up with his very loud family, including a small child, who despite the screeching coming from his mom every 2.7 seconds, continued tossing large rocks into the lake next to me. The male specimen went on and on about how his wife would never catch anything with her "girly pink pole" (trust me, it wasn't the pole keeping her from catching fish, it was the loud, and uncouth mouth on her that was scaring fish from the area along with her son's help), and casting his line diagonally over where my line was already set. To add to my annoyance, he had a sinker on his gear, that was so heavy, it sounded and looked like he had tossed a baseball in each time he cast.

It was an effort to keep my overly honest mouth closed for that 1.75 hours, but the pay off came, when I caught the only fish of the morning (with about 20 people with lines in the water), with my very pink fishing pole, and pink power bait. I dispatched the unlucky fish quickly and humanely, cleaned it, packed it into ice, packed up my gear, and left with a gigantic smile on my face. He wasn't smiling. :)

[tomboystud]

Getting texts from her even though she was busy. Her calling me and waking me up from a nap. Coming home and talking to her. Us talking about all our feelings. I can't get enough of her. She makes me so happy.

Now just load the last truck and we should be in California by the weekend...

[Bad_boi]

[cinnamongrrl]

This may sound strange....but...

I have found 2 of these Dobsonflies in this past month...

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQMKEtf3oRG7-soN8r0oohvtlyEM_iX8sSlDJds_3a4ax2_tgQwcA

I hadn't seen any in YEARS...and I'm rather fond of them. They remind me of dragonflies :)

Common Name: Dobsonfly
Scientific Name: Corydalus sp.
Order: Neuroptera
Description: Dobsonflies are large (can be over 2 inches long), and have long antennae. Their large, many veined forewings are often mottled. When at rest, wings are held flat over the back and extend beyond the abdomen. Males have long, extended curved mandibles which are used to grasp the female during mating. Aquatic immature stages, called hellgrammites are elongate, dull colored larvae with gill filaments and feathery gill clusters along the sides of the abdomen. They have two hooks on the end of the abdomen.

Alderflies (Neuroptera: Sialidae) are similar to dobsonflies but smaller. Larvae of alderflies differ from hellgrammites in that they lack the two hooks at the end of the abdomen.

Life Cycle: Immatures develop in water, especially well oxygenated and high quality water.

Habitat and Food Source(s): The adults probably do not feed. The long mandibles of the males would make feeding very difficult. Hellgrammites are aggressive predators that attack other aquatic insects and other organisms in the water. They are found in flowing rivers and streams hidden among rocks. Immatures can be collected in riffle areas of streams where they hide among rocks (see Mayflies).

Pest Status: Adults are noticed when attracted to lights at night. Immatures (hellgrammites) are collected and used as fish bait; immatures are fierce biters, but medically harmless.

Management: None, not considered a pest.

[luv2luvgirls]

I spent time on here reading many many posts and feeling good catching up with news of how many people are doing. :) I don't post often anymore. But I do read the posts...I was also reading the info on the Bash and remembering all the ones I've been to. I missed last year but I have been to all the rest. Still not sure I will go this year. But remembering all of the other ones brings a BIG smile to my face! Happy days and good times all....:)

[tomboystud]

Waking up to an email from her. Talking until she fell asleep last night. Talking about our days. Her listening to me as I talk about the PS4 even though she has ZERO interest in hearing about it. She makes me smile throughout the day and I am grateful she is in my life.

Finding Marmachilli. Chilli enhanced marmalade; I've added extra chipotle of course to further enhance the kick and it's totallly delish.

[Bèsame*]

smiling...I think I'm going to call my dentist office the tooth spa. I had a big screen TV in my room. And after said treatment was done today, I was escorted to the ladies room to find, a warm towel to refresh with. Some mouth wash to rinse with. A yummy breath mint and a tube of Chapstick. All on the granite bathroom counter. It's not like any office I've ever been too. They were all so nice and treated me so well, even though I have the highest level of dentist anxiety. Thank you Dr Mary. :)

She is working on my new and improved smile.https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRswlM_7L8OfE8PUtRwFb6iZKb267iCT mOsQlYlWhNfbD0_2qIblA

Have you ever had a moment of just feeling so overwhelming blessed that you have no choice but to smile? No matter what the past has held or the future holds... when you are in that moment... you just :). That is where I am at today. Full tilt and feeling some type of way.

[MegBluEyz]

When I dropped my son off to school, he hugged me so tightly he would not let me go. It is the kind of love that makes my heart and my soul smile.

[Bèsame*]

smiling...on the way to work today I saw some baby deer. The fawn are just to adorable. I keep looking for some to show up in my back yard. Last year there were twins!..

[tomboystud]

She makes me smile all day. The possibility of us meeting soon makes me smile but also makes this guy a nervous wreck. Us talking until she fell asleep. Listening to her laugh. Her telling me about her day. Making time for each other even though we are both busy. Her wanting the best for me.

My Mom and her chit chatting here in the kitchen while she puts things together for dinner. The fact that she asks Me to come over to *help* yet when I try she tells Me she does not need the help. So I realize that she wants Me here to just spend time..which really makes Me smile.

The true belief that most things are smile worthy. We just have to decide which things that are.....and toss the rest.

.....I am in so deep....past the rubicon...

[FemmeItalian]

How nice yesterday was.....

A much needed day for me!

Salon all day for hair, mani, pedi, etc.....

Helping a man with Down's syndrome today.
He smiled sooooo big at me when I made certain that he got what he wanted.
He didn't make a sound. Also, made me cry. A shame that their lives ( down's) are short lived here on earth...the world could use more of those Angels.

[tomboystud]

Being able to call her as soon as I woke. Her helping me relax as I was going through nicotine withdrawal. Her letting me help her pick out the electronics. Her reading to me. Spending a morning together because we both have stuff going on later. Her working as I play my new game.

I smiled to see her big reveal on City TV Edmonton, Breakfast Television yesterday morning. We did a Dyke to Diva Makeover on the BT morning show. She was amazing. :cheer:

So many things! First my day starting off just Perfect with a few texts and a phone call, then baking cookies for my Mom....then driving to a wedding for my uncle and his beautiful bride at a winery, and seeing relatives I hadn't seen for a long time...sometimes my smile was downright joyous laughter!

Best day in a long time!
In fact I'm still smiling!

[wahya]

That I can take care of myself & be alright with being alone. I believe that's called self love.

[Blade]

A little boy named Austin, at the auction. He couldn't have been but 3 at the most. He was good as gold all day long. It was hot and loud and bustling with about 300 people off and on all day. His greatest joy was finding a pair of tongs to play with ahhhh the imagination of a child. Yes the imagination of a child made me smile.

OH and the hummingbirds! I didn't count how many feeders this house had but it had a bunch of them and a gazillion hummingbirds buzzing around like litte dive bombers.

My beautiful life.......

[LukeCian]

Being back here at My Mom's today. (it was not planned) and realizing that time spent is worth not having the regret later that I did not take the time.

Even though today is a tough day, I am still smiling because I am blessed with where Life is at right now. Everything and everyone in it...is as it should be.

[FemmeItalian]

Receiving an email this morning from my best friend.

She is on a 5 week trip in Europe with her husband and twins. Glad they are having such a great time....but haven't talked with her since the end of May and missing her lots.

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...

Thinking of my father and what he means to me. We might not of had the best relationship in the beginning. But it has changed over the years. After I had a heart to heart with him, he put down the bottle,For I am his little girl.He became the best dad ever. His hands tell the story of him..
Those hands that guided me thru some of the worst relationships
Those hands that lead to me make my own decisions
Those hands that gave me away to start my own life
Those hands that held onto wood and tools enlightened me to my own creativity
Those hands who reached out when I was at my worst
Those hands that helped me climb even further
Those hands that taught me how to compromise
Those hands that even today, help me.

I use my hand to pick up the phone and tell him how much I've appreciated him, and today will be no different than any of the others:)
I celebrate my dad today!


" my father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give to another person, he believed in me"

[Trev]

I received a Father's Day carrot cake. Along with the cake was a note attached. Now who cannot smile about carrot cake? The note will hold a special place...I know it came from the heart.

[Bèsame*]

...I agree, notes and actions from the heart mean the most! Enjoy your day Trev :)I received a Father's Day carrot cake. Along with the cake was a note attached. Now who cannot smile about carrot cake? The note will hold a special place...I know it came from the heart.

[Miss Scarlett]

It's Father's Day! :hk4:

[Diablo]

the barista made me smile today...she has this uncanny ability to sense when im down or sad. She smiles and laughs A LOT and snorts..which makes her laugh even more. :-)

[o'queery]

While talking to my father this morning, Him insisting that i was under 30 years old.

After several math problems and a good laugh he finally figured it out.

Still smiling...
Last night my girlfriend was crowned Ms Gay Edmonton.
We had an amazing night.
Her number got a standing ovation, people cheered and cried. She did "We are Family" but added a prerecorded message from her about inclusion and how we all just want to belong and be a part of a family. She had almost all diversities covered with her back up dancers.
She deserved this so much for what she does in the community.

Now I am still smiling because for a whole year I get to be her First Lady. :D

[JAGG]

My neice Miss Maddie. I haven't seen her in over 2 weeks. I just got back from vacation and she was at camp for a week. I missed her greatly . I hugged her and told her how much I missed her, and thought about her while I was on vacation. Her reply was, as always, honest and from her heart. She said " The funny thing is I didn't think about you at all. " And she stood there as if she was scanning her memory hard, and she said, " Not even one time, I was just real busy." HAHA Gotta love her honesty if nothing else.

[Gráinne]

Last night the daughter, Daughter's BF and I went to the Travelers game. Sorry, Tulsans, we finally won 1-0 :).

[tomboystud]

Even though our time has been very limited today, still finding time for each other. Her knowing I am thinking of her. The little things we do to let each other know we are thinking about each other.

My first evening with my new(est) client!

She is a lovely lady...and also has lovely pets! She dotes on them and is so pleased that I love them too... :) She lives very close to some favorite hiking spots AND a state park where I used to swim as a kid with my dad..
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/lwsp.htm
I got to the area early and perused an old cemetery, a much loved hobby...

and if that weren't enough....

I came home to a lovely meal, a glass of wine and some nummy cake :) My honey is the best!

[lilapache]

Checking the garden this morning and finding the teenyist tiniest wee peppers on the plants! The beans look to be getting there also... :)

[Trev]

Having coffee this morning on the back patio and listening to everything wake up, I thought I saw something running back and forth in the yard. Of course I needed to put my glasses on so I could stop the argument in my mind about whether I'm crazy or not. Anyway, it would seem I have baby bunnies now venturing from their well hidden borrow in my hard. I counted 5 of them but I'm sure that isn't all. They're cute lil things.

[NerdieGirl]

Fun, flirty, early morning conversations!

[Glenn]

The surrounding dunes reflected in the calm lagoon.
Otters playing in the water.
A school of big fish on the shore.
Baby Raccoons
Mother Goose with about a dozen chicks.
A red Cardinal, whom I have a soul connection with.
Now I know why our First Generation People called Lake Michigan the "laughing waters." It seems like this water is always laughing, whether it's sunny or raining. :)

[tomboystud]

Waking up to an email from her. Finally being able to talk to her for a minute after a busy morning. Being able to spend time with her and let her know how much I adore her. Being so proud of her happy moment.

After a grumpy start to my day having a coworker tell me about a bird that smacked her in the back of the head yesterday bcs she got too close to its nest while minding her own business going for an early morning smoke.

Lol that made me laugh so hard. So if I get grumpy again today I will just replay that image in my head.

[tomboystud]

Since my morning is starting earlier than it normally does we got to spend a few minutes on the phone before she had to get ready for her day. Her letting me know how special I am because she doesn't share her morning. Oh and for those keeping track........T-minus 8 days until I see her!!!!!

after being attacked by a predator that ripped her leg, my little chicken is being a champ and mending fast. She's been a sweet, quiet, gentle patient. It tickles me to watch her chase mosquitoes and bugs when I put her outside in her little cage (separating her from others while she heals). I'm happy she's a little fighter.

[easygoingfemme]

My daughter got her pack list for summer camp.
Amongst many things like long johns, a head lamp, and a field guide, she must bring a locking pocket knife. She may not bring a saw or hatchet. Because those are provided.

Driving through downtown Cincinnati after getting off work. I hear a horn and look over. A guy in a truck yells over that he is looking for some gay bars. Takes one to know one. :) I pointed him in the right direction.

[GraffitiBoi]

I got to spend the afternoon with my bff... AND we fixed my car. :) Damn I've missed her.

Things going better than I thought they would.

I hung Hummingbird feeders on my porch last week and while eating supper tonight I had a visitor....Yup a Hummingbird visitor.

[cinnamongrrl]

I was at work, at my client's assisted living facility. I went in the activity room attempting to track down her missing walker. There was a group of ladies (residents) in the room, and they were all so sweet and sympathetic about the loss of the walker. :)

As I was leaving, I heard them talking amongst themselves saying what a sweet girl I was...and that I had a wonderful smile.... :blush:

What can I say...animals and the elderly love me! And it's a two way street! :)

[Tony]

Her voice.
Her laughter.
Looking thru her pictures & older posts on Facebook.
Thinking about California.
She made me smile.
She always does.

What made me laugh hysterically....

getting a random phone call at work, about work realted issues. Hanging up the phone and realizing I was talking to Durx8 :) I sent him a text, and when he called me back we both couldn't help from laughing because we were both using our "professional" voices and didn't have a clue!!!! What a small freakin' world, huh?!?!?!

[~baby~doll~]

What made me smile was a gentle help from a friend.

[GraffitiBoi]

Re-reading an unexpected text I got last night before work... :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Getting someone to work with my second client of the day....I was beat tired and not feeling great. My agency is so understanding.... and the family was wonderful about it. :)

[~SweetCheeks~]

Waking up and talking to the honey before work sharing stories and laughing so much our stomachs hurt. Oh how I love our morning chats :)

[Princess]

I was cleaning and reorganizing my closet and came across a baseball cap that says WASHBURN across the front. It belongs to my best friend, Stu. He went to washburn, and wouldn't ever take that hat off when I first met him. He left it here when he moved to Texas a few years ago and for some reason I still have it. Looking at it reminded me of all of the good times we had together, and how much both of us have grown in the last few years. Big smiles on my face today :)

Puddle jumping in heels then finding out this was not my brightest idea...smh lol

[GraffitiBoi]

I woke up to go to the bathroom and I could hear my next door neighbor (whom I have met) in the hallway talking to other neighbors... about me...

They all want to know who the mysterious new tenant is. LOL The one I met (already forgot her name) told them I work nights and sleep days. They can't figure out if I'm gay or straight and they think I'm male but aren't sure.

I was trying not to giggle as I eavesdropped by the door.

For the record: I live in a *very* diverse (and way gay) neighborhood.
