my employer called me not long after she left....

she saw a moose in roughly the same place I did....she called and said "I wanted you to know I saw your moose!"

I told her to wave and say hi...surely the moose remembers me since I was dangling out the window of my car trying to get a good picture of her.... ;)

one of the best hikes ive had in a long time...in a new and interesting place....with much fodder for the imagination...and plenty of trails to traverse another day.... :)

[RockOn]

My book about secret doors, hidden passageways and other cool stuff you can build into your home. Been looking at plans and photos from another resource that a mechanical engineer produced. It is all so interesting to me ... when reading it or thinking up stuff related to it, my mind is reeling about endless possibilities and I am smiling so BIG.

see there, see there --->>> :) <<<--- looks just like me, doesn't it?

[Kenna]

A huge bull frog singing and croaking on the porch all morning ..

a fancy neat box turtle looking as if to say "hey!! Who flooded my mud puddle !!?"

The rain soaking the garden just in time to help the new beans...

My roommate calling me from the drive lane to say "stay in the house till this big rain passes, then we can leave"... my response "it's been raining like this for 2 hours. I don't think its moving through fast ." I chuckled because he's either looking out for me or he just didn't wanna get wet.

Once in town with it still pouring rain...he stops at store, gives me money and says "go pay my bill for me"... I laugh and say " You're making me do this because I'm the only one with a rain coat!"... his response "something like that".

[Canela]

At the salon waiting for my turn, a tiny one month old baby boy loudly requiring attention, his mommy in mid nails, mortified as well as the rest of the patrons--and I volunteered to hold him while she finished up and she accepted! He is such a sweetie, as I softly spoke to him he smiled up at me and even cooed...! He is such a beautiful tiny baby how could I not smile? It also made me smile, knowing I was helping him and his momma. She thanked me afterward and that made me smile too...

A fb friend of mine told me this funny story. I guess (don't ask why) she is fb friends with Patti Davis (Nancy and Ronnie's daughter) whose dog is sick. This friend got Patti Davis mixed up with me and started to give her condolences saying she is so sorry that her dog is sick now right after her cat died (my cat died last week). So she says that Patti Davis never responded to her (duh) but every one on Patti Davis' fb page started to give her condolensces on her cat's (my cat's death). I don't know this just tickled my funny bone. One, who friends Patti Davis and two, that we were mixed up etc. Now it doesn't sound so funny but it made myself and a co-worker laugh out loud. hahaa

I'm doing a coworker's hair for a wedding Saturday. At lunch today we went to Sallys Beauty and picked out some extensions. After work, I plopped that faux hair on her head and whipped up a do that ended up looking like Elsa from Frozen. Apparently this is exactly what she wanted.

well, I wouldn't have expected coming home smiling but a friend of mine gave a friend of hers my email and we met for dinner tonight. I had a really good time. This is like my first official fix up date since I left my long term relationship. It turns out (NYC is a very small lesbian world) that I know some of her good friends, we have a similar history (NYC in the late 60's and 70's and 80's) and she seemed (of course I don't really know her) to be a nice person. Not sure what comes next in the dating world but would like to see her again. I am actually shocked at myself for thinking this. I went into it with no expectation except for a good dinner at this french bistro

I stopped in at Starbucks this morning for a chai tea. The place was a zoo, and I guess they skipped my drink. I didn't even realize because the perkiest barista I have ever encountered was busily chatting away with me while she worked, lol.

Then when she made mine, she slipped me a voucher for a free drink with "We're sorry your experience wasn't that great. Please enjoy a complimentary drink on us for your next visit" or something to that effect printed on it. So now I get a free drink next time I want one and I didn't even complain or insinuate that I was unhappy in any way.

lol, so maybe I belong in the bitchy resting face thread instead of this one?

But yay!

Plus the ride home from work with the lid off beneath the beautiful sunny skies is always really nice!

Annnnd...a 3 day weekend. Now if I can just get through one more night of work, all will be great!

This is in anticipation for tomorrow. Not sure how many of you remember the Willowbrook expose on "mental institutions by Geraldo Rivera. The college that I work at is on the grounds of Willowbrook. Willowbrook scholars and archives are very much a part of our culture.
So, where am I going with this. The graduates of our Bachelors of Social work program reached out to Geraldo Rivera for their separate graduation ceremony (50 grads and their families). His current politics, aside Geraldo accepted. When he announced that he was going to speak with many kudos to social workers, btw, he said that this is going to be his first time returning to the site since the expose. Which makes this cool and exciting.
I think tomorrow is going to be very special. For those of you interested and not aware of Willowbrook Google it. Proud to be a social worker.

This reminds me of something I saw yesterday!

I was coming to light that was green but the line of cars wasn't moving and then I saw why. We have a large pond down the road that is frequented by an extremely large family of geese and a few of them were walking across the road from the woods to the pond. There were about 7 or 8 adults, 4 adolescents and 2 little goslings in that awkward stage where they are all legs and their fuzzy yellow fluff is changing to soft grey so it makes them look like a bit like a rock 'n roll Fraggle.

They toddled along for a few minutes. Everyone was patient and no one yelled or honked. It was quite a lovely moment!

As I said before I get this rental car and park it in my garage (tandem spot). I usually get home first and my daughter parks behind me. She comes bounding into the house saying (because she LOVES cars) omg, where's Mom, I think someone parked in her spot. My younger daughter decided to go along with the plot and she said, really who would do that? My older daughter sees me and says you got a new car, OMG I want to drive it. It was funny at the time because she thought another neighbor let someone else park in our spot and was going to knock on doors asking who the new car belonged there because her mother needed to park there when she came home.

but the member of congress was Michelle Bachman

"This nation has gotten away from the principles of the founding fathers under the failed leadership of Barak Obama. This country can use a President like Benjamin Franklin, again"

Ben Franklin? was his greatest achievement as a president flying that kite. She probably thinks he is one of the presidents on Mount Rushmore, too. lol

So I've cut of my almost waistlenght blonde hair up to my chin and dyed it copper. It looks really good and so far feedback has been positive. It feels great to not have all that hair getting stuck everywhere:)

my nephew graduated from 8th grade and will be a high school freshman next year......

An unexpected card in the mail!

Smiled at my dog's excellent hygiene insistence. I went outside with him at daybreak. He was half asleep when he hiked his leg to relieve himself. He didn't realize he was on the wrong side of the downhill slope and it ran down onto the foot he was standing on. He immediately noticed his wet foot and was walking around shaking it, pausing to look back at it. Kevin was very disturbed. I washed his foot and I could tell he sure appreciated my actions.

Sometimes it is the simple things.

I love my dog more than anything in the world. He is #1!!! :)

Happy Thursday to All of You!

The overwhelming feeling of Gratitude.

Smiling...

Life. It has a way of amazing me still, even as I get older. Relationships, how they evolve and just get better.

Here is the backdrop...

I can remember when I was living at home, how, terms of endearment were never spoken. I guess it was understood. So when I moved across state lines and went to visit my parents, we exchanged good byes and hugs. Recently, on the day I would pack up and leave, my Dad told me he loved me out loud. I would then leave, all teary eyed as I left.
Today, he told me he loved me over the phone. First time ever. My heart is over whelmed with joy. I've always have said...it's the little things that make me smile.

What a great day!
