What made you smile today?

[JakeTulane]

A phone call while on a break.

[Leigh]

I had lots to smile about today:

~ Its My dad's birthday today (he's 56)

~ Me and My parents went to Tim Horton's today (local canadian coffee shop for those who dont know) and when we walked in to grab a drink we saw something that we'd never seen before ......... ICE CREAM! Oh praise the God and Goddess for this miracle :praying:

~ Dad loves his card and dream catcher that I got him for his b-day

~ Pizza for dinner, then cake & ice cream for snack :cheer:

spending time with little sister...eventhough it was because she needed me to proof read 2 papers for some tough classes she is taking for her masters in art history. and to think everyone asks me why don't i get a job with my english degree instead of being a chef. I did use it today for a minute.

Okay, I totally cracked up at the running commentary.

had to back track to find the original post just to give rep ... it took a while 'cause I was laughing too hard.

what made me smile today is the sense of relief one has when there is an operable "ignore" button on this site. sigh.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Last night i fell asleep on a video call with my Daddy. At some point the headphones fell off and i just slept on cam.

Now, my kids like to wake up early, and apparently my son came into my room and VERY quietly asked if they could eat the WHOLE jar of peanut butter. Daddy heard this and yelled my sons name. He heard it through the headphones and picked them up and said shyly

"Hello?"
"Son, look at the computer."
Shocked expression
"You may not eat all the peanutbutter."
"But, Mom said...."
"I heard what your mom said, and it was NOT the whole jar."
Defeated look
"Aww man, ok Tuff"
Puts down headphones and stalks off

Getting an invitation to the annual family reunion for my father's side of the family...never really knew him, met all of them when I was 29 years old...seen most of them a small handful of times...

The best part though...that the note said "we're really looking forward to seeing you and C (my son) again...and hoping we get to meet Scoote and her son too. Just can't wait to see you ALL!"

Not what most people would expect from such traditional, Southern Baptist folk, but as my uncle said when I told him my partner was a woman..."You're family, and we love you...and if you love her, then she's family too." :)

[Penelope]

Looking forward to a date later with my boifriend :cheer:

Using a thoughtful gift today that he gave me :bouquet:

[scootebaby]

im a little late with this one,but yesterday seeing my"boyfriend" outside the store...if nothing else i always see him on fridays bc i save soda pop tabs for him,but i musta missed him--several days in a row..thought something might have happened and i didnt even know his name bc we all just call him my b/f..so i heard "hey boss lady ur boyfriend is outside looking for u" i swear i ran out the door with this big grin on my face,asked his name,how he was doing and made him promise to pop in to store if he doesnt see me

today...

then hearing that "Rooster" is gonna be ok..i know momma was worried *is it wrong to call a redheaded child Rooster?"

G-d Jo that's great I have no family here in NJ that bother with me. That is one of the reasons why I'm moving so I could find someone and make my own family. You are very lucky that this Southern Baptist family is accepting you and your partner Scoote. Best of luck to you!!

Getting comfort, guidance, love and thoughtful and kind words today from my community when I truely needed it. Wow, i am wealthy beyond any money that is in this world.

[bigbutchmistie]

While in the drive thru this morning to get breakfast at Whataburger I saw an elderly couple walking to the car. His arm around her waist. And he opened her door and got in... :) It was so sweet. I wondered how many years that they had been together, and obviously still so very much in love...

[ravfem]

Got up way early to go pick blackberries before the sun came out & had a chance to kill me. i now have 2 quarts! yay!!

Gonna try to make a cobbler....wish me luck, i've never attempted anything like this before....i can cook a mean bowl of Capn Crunch, but never really got past that point in my culinary skill set.

The picture in the gallery. My fiance was thoughtful enough, and had the forethought to carry the cancer flag thousands of miles, in her pack and take it with her in memory of someone that so deeply touched my life. I can not help but smile to know she is so thoughtful.
I saw that picture and smiled so big at the of Lisa's spirit and my honey on top of the mountain together. I had to giggle at the thought of that conversation. What a blessing to had Lisa such a special be in my life and be taken out so young. What a blessing to have such a thoughtful woman as my fiance in my life. Who could not smile at that?

What made me smile today...

I went to the mall on my lunchbreak, to order a cookie cake for my gf's birthday Friday. I watched two small children, squeal with delight over Elmo shaped cookies with TONS of red icing (which was more on their faces, than in their mouth). It's a reminder that it's the little things that should always make us smile.

Kids are too damn cute!

A guy friend of mine, Chris, at work made me smile today. He is a software developer too ... on another team. He and I both love gadgety stuff. I think he is very interesting to talk to and I enjoy hearing how he thinks.

Here is the story ...

Our AC was out at work for a week and a half but fortunately for me I was away in training for the first three days of last week. Thank God they fixed it and it was fine today.

On Monday, I started getting this idea of how to rig up something with my desk fan, a styrofoam cooler full of ice and a few feet of rubber tubing. I have been so busy putting out fires with server issues, that is as far as I got with collecting my thoughts about my desk cooling gadget. I have not really had a chance to go over and talk with Chris since probably last Thursday. Plus, it was so hot yesterday - I left after 4 hours ... thought I was going to blow my groceries all over my screen and keyboard.

Today I went over to visit Chris in his cubicle. Low and behold, there was my gadget I had been thinking of creating ... he had it up and running with coiled, hollow copper wire, an aquarium pump, a couple of large plastic soda bottles (cut and glued together) a bag of ice, some cardboard and the items I listed earlier. Much to my enjoyment, Chris took my idea into fruition. He even had a drain tube that trinkled over into his large plastic trash can which he emptied every couple of hours. Here is the good part - we never talked about this gadget until today and I never said a word to anyone about my idea. I tell you, I love this guy's mind .. and he is a very sweet person too.

This probably did not do anything for anyone else here at the site but it was intensely incredible to me to walk into Chris' cubie and view this functioning apparatus. I just stood there looking at it for a minute. (probably with my mouth open - :) ) Then I had to get my hands on it, turn it over and over ... examine every piece and see how he had rigged each connection. The copper tubing was icey cold and wet with perspiration. Totally awesome!! *huge grins* Made my day!

Another friend at work, Henry, has gotten me into braiding leather. I think these guys I work with are interesting people. All my life, I have always had "straight guy" friends. Every once in a while, I will stumble onto an asshole before I realize it ... but hey, that happens with any "specific group" of people.

Hey Gang, for those of you who made it through this lengthy tale, thanks for tolerating my long-winded story. I, for sure, can not blame the ones who bailed out at the beginning.

Time to let Kelly Bully out to pee, then we need to get to bed.

[Butterbean]

While in between doing a bit of downhill skiing in the middle of a fluffy snow, I was frying up onion rings in a cast iron skillet on a Coleman propane stove outside.

My 2 year old, who looked so cute with her blonde curls and pink lambchop jacket, was being looked after in the lodge and was mesmerized by cartoons and doing fine.

Suddenly, my cat, Leonard tried to remove an onion ring from the skillet with his paw and began leaping in circles in agony. All the fur had been deep fried off his paw and muscle and bone were exposed. My mom and aunt, who were standing on the slope, began screaming.

Then, I woke up and realized it was all a dream and smiled.

(Deep fried paws and 2 year olds..uffda.)

For the first time in five years, the company I've been with a relatively short period of time as the health, safety and environmental manager, has a recordable injury rate in the single digits for the same year to date period, January - June.

This makes me smile because it tells me that the change management plan for changing the overall safety culture I've put in place is working, and my boys are working safer than they have in a very long time. Of course, I still have some hard-heads out there that I have to battle constantly about safety glasses, gloves, ear plugs, and other basic safety principles, but I will win them over soon enough! I think sometimes they underestimate my tenacity, lol.

I received a lovely PM from someone who took a minute to tell me I was thought of and wished happiness.:cheesy:

During such a stressful and (as she said) joyous time too, it was like a warm hug on an otherwise cloudy morning.

Thank you for reaching out to me:rrose:

[Kenna]

Thinking about....
During and after a really difficult, frustrating and "trying" evening yesterday... the respect, dignity, sense of team work and kind friendly affection I received from the friends and family around me, really made me smile... plus we had a lot of fun and jokes after the difficult stuff was said and done.

Team Work, Friendship, Laughter and Affection turned my bad day into a good one.

Vicodin!!

I usually don't take pain killers, don't even like to take Tylenol for headaches or Pamprin for cramps. I usually just put up with it, knowing it will go away soon, lol. I've been putting up with a sore shoulder for over a year now, and haven't had insurance to get any x-ray or MRI done. The doc thinks it's a torn rotator cuff and can't say with 100% certainty until I can get on the insurance offered here by the Heath Dept (not medicaid through the state because as an adult this state doesn't give you medicaid unless you're a pregnant woman). Finally, I gave in and asked for a prescription for Vicodin. He wouldn't give it to me, he gave me Tramadol, which made me violently ill. I told him I can't take Tylenol 3 because it makes me very ill, and he gives me Tramadol which was worse. So I called in and told them and said PLEASE give me Vicodin, I know it doesn't make me sick. They gave me Tylenol 3 and I had to tell them I can't take it.. Their question was "are you sure?" uh, yeah it only makes me vomit until I feel like my stomach is gonna twist inside out. DUH! Both vicodin and Tramadol say you can't take them if you can't take codeine but for some reason I CAN take Vicodin.

FINALLY the doc gave me vicodin. I'm only taking it at night so I can not be in so much pain and I can sleep. I'm dealing with the pain during the daytime hours. I'm determined I am NOT going to become dependent on those damned things. Besides I can stand the pain during waking hours, it's just when I'm trying to sleep it keeps me awake.

So I'm smiling because I can finally sleep pain free!!

[Mindy]

My son coming from NJ to visit. It's not been determined yet if he'll be here 10 days or until the end of August, it depends on how the first 10 days goes.

This lovely, juicy orange I am having for lunch.:thumbsup:

[RockOn]

An impromptu visit with my dentist this morning. He thinks it is not anything more than a trapped food particle that has been causing the swelling and gum pain since Sunday. I actually think it is feeling somewhat better since he irrigated it and the additional pain from his tinkering subsided. I have to wait and see because in situations like this, I already know I am famous for being overly optimistic.

Having an Ice Cream social at work for my boys! We set a five year record for reduction in injuries; we have a long way to go, but it is the little successes that we are celebrating!

What made me smile today...

At lunch, overhearing two young boys (probably about 8) talk about what they wanna be when they grow up. One boy said, "I wanna race motorcycles... that would be so awesome". The other boy said, "It would be cool to work at Sonic, but I don't know how to rollar skate. So, I guess I'll just play basketball for the Rockets".

while I was in ER, my daughter went to my house, fed the old demented dog (who has to be fed by a spoon) and did my dishes. I havent been able to stand long enough to do them since Satuday. It was so wonderful to come home and know I no longer needed to eat my pudding with a fork..lol...

watching the sunset reflected on the glass buildings of NYC from the vantage point of a kayak on the hudson river.

[RockOn]

Banana Republic had a 40% off deal going on. I found two pair of really nice men's slacks for work very cheap ... and was out of there in way less than an hour. I usually do my shopping online - just order from BR but this was not a bad trip to the local. Their update on the Dawson style chino is great - they made them lower waisted and have off seam front pockets. (my fav style) If you like on seam pockets, go with the Gavin style. By the way, I believe this 40% off any regular priced item is every Wednesday in July. Check with your local store if you are interested.

Stopped at Arby's Roast Beef place on the way home from BR and bought Kelly and I a bag of sandwiches. We had a picnic in bed. That is always fun!

See there! Lots to smile about.

[Canela]

My reputation! lol...

Running into the store to crab an ice, cold, fountain Diet Coke this morning, and hearing Mmmm Bop by Hanson blaring from the speakers. And watching the cutest gay boy behind the counter dancing around with a coworker.

[Mindy]

Getting ready to go out for dinner (Mexican) and to a movie (Inception) even though I did the same exact thing yesterday afternoon, lol.
Yesterday one of my friends I've known since 3rd grade asked me to go for lunch and to the movie.. then another old high school friend asked the same thing. I said that if the movie was good I might consider going again.. lol.. here I go again! :o) What can I say? I can't turn down good Mexican food and a great movie, esp. when I don't have to pay!

finding mini veggies on my plants! Oh lord, I is a grandmamma!

[princessbelle]

A wonderful day with laughter and sunshine. Special people in my life are just so amazing to me. Helps me realize that the ones that possess malevolence and who pass by quickly, just fade into darkness and soon become a distant, unimportant thought.

Whats important and what makes me smile are those that withstand the test of time, those who are honest and forthright, true to themselves and others. Those that have love in their hearts, those you can trust and who have compassion and tenderness. Those that are who they claim to be and those that live up to who and what they say they are. Joyful, happy people.

Important lessons, integrity and good ole fashion manners.....THAT is what makes me smile.

[Spirit Dancer]

A brief respite

[WingsOnFire]

Five things actually....

Winning... Riley sweet 70 pound lab of mine.. I have figured out how to battle your wits on the back yard... I know you dont like wet grass.. I dont either... but you are a dog... I am your human.... and you WILL go potty outside! LOL.. Standing off with you feet firmly planted on the ground dodging your every move to get back in the house... VICTORY... 5 mins later you finally pee.. Damn you stuborn ass dog!! lol...

Peppa-Puppy.. yes I guess it is no longer Pepper-Puppy... we have a southern drawl now with your name... You my dog are damn adorable... Those floppy ears that are longer than your head flop as you come running.. Its no wonder i dont stay mad at you long.... I love listening to you and Riley romp and play behind me in the livingroom... Please try not to romp and play under my feet... K?

dear little guy... you are so damn cute... how can something that weighs less than 5 pounds have such an impact on us? We dont know what your future holds but you have a future with us sweetie... I know you like to run.. but we will make sure you never run again... We love you too much...

Ladybug... you seem much happier after your bath.. I am glad you are resting peacefully..

Jewel the neurotic cat... ummm... that is my traveling bag... not a slumber bag... GEEZZZ!!! I hate it when I forget to put it away and find you sleeping in it!!
