What made you smile today?

[starryeyes]

When my little dog Smudge eats his wet food, he always leaves a bunch on his chin.... only to eat it later. We call them his "snacks". I enjoy sending random pictures to my girlfriend of his "snacks" only to crack up laughing because we laugh at weird things. This makes me smile. I love my Smudgie and his snacks :-D

[Chad]

My sweetheart sending me yummy fruit made by Edible Arrangements!

[Blade]

An afternoon visit with an older gentleman. Boy was he a talker

[ProfPacker]

When I colleague posted this on my fb page:

typos in a paper:
"Women shouldn't fear the latkes of the world" and "It's basar that these laws were passed."

those latkes (potato pancakes that are eaten during Chanukah) are not really deadly weapons. I think this statement is very basar.

[firegal]

Just knowing a bunch of folks here are true blue and honest and actually are who the promote.


I just love them!

[fever]

Very pleased to hear that a new friend is feeling better and may be home soon.

My sweetheart is flying back in today! I love our long weekends. Soon she will be home every night....le sigh....:hangloose:

[cinnamongrrl]

the friends that I'm lucky enough to have....

an impromptu thrift store stop with one of the said friends....

knowing I will be going to the store in a little bit and getting my first coffee in days....to have with the coffee cake I got earlier...

Waking up with 3 warm critters in bed with me. Hearing the water from a full creek, rustling by camp, and knowing the rain is finished and rest of the weekend will be sunny

[SirenManda]

Waking up early is hard. Too hard.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Our daughter will be home tomorrow, just days before she turns 21 years old.

[JDeere]

Getting a phone call from my godfather, with him telling me to be prepared to meet his new girlfriend. I am not against him dating, I just want him happy and him including me in things made me smile.

[cinnamongrrl]

while taking my client down the street in her wheelchair, a bicyclist struggling his way up the hill we were heading down....paused long enough to wave and say hello to my lady who had waved to him...it was just awful sweet of him :)

my faith in humanity gets bolstered daily around here...theres so much kindness and generosity....I strive to make myself more like that in this lifetime...

Yesterday while geocaching I saw a skinny little stray cat. I got off work early and went down to bring her some scraps.I couldntt find her...but saw another stray :(

I left the food in that area and walked a block over to find a different cache. On my way nack, I saw the little one I was looking for. I managed to get her to follow me to the food and she ate heartily. :)

Tomorrow I'm getting them food and a dish. Hopefully they will learn to trust me and I can take them in and find them homes before winter...

[cricket26]

my daughter made dinner tonite :)

Coming home after class to see a copy of Destiny laying on the dresser. Honey really knows what moves me.

Many little miracles that made my day

[Kenna]

I've been "fighting sleep" for several hours now...
Exhausted from a busy day...
Pleasantly content....
What made me smile...quiet, peaceful moments while I sit, comfortably curled up on the couch in front of an open window...with a slight, dew cooled breeze kissing my bare legs...
It's so refreshing, that it's soothing my tired muscles...even the rhythm of crickets are soothing...

I'd love to be sleeping outside tonight...but I hate the smell of Deet to ward off pesky skeeters...

[WildHorses]

Picking up my buddy tonight!

She was in El Salvador for a month surfing and now we have her back for about 3 months!

YAY!

Coming out officially on my very public photography Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/FaireUnVoeuPhotography (https://www.facebook.com/FaireUnVoeuPhotography) and not that most people in my world aren't already aware of my sexual orientation because I've never lived in a closet [aaarrgh!] and I've been out for over twenty five years but still, it's a beautiful thing to do today on National Coming Out Day and it's just so self affirming. I am also fairly new to my job having just been there a little over a year and while our culture is very diversified and open, it's a comfort to be who you are where you are.

Happy National Coming Out Day Family!

Love. http://z5.ifrm.com/30362/64/0/e5238514/e5238514.gif

Puuuurrrrfect morning for fishing and sitting by a campfire

[JDeere]

Eating wings for breakfast and babysitting my great nephew.

[Chad]

I was at the grocery store shopping when I accidentally caused a scene. I accidentally knocked a jar of pickles off the shelf and they broke all over the floor. I told the man that I was sorry my butt knocked the pickles over.

It became funny when I told it to my sweetheart and we had a big chuckle over that.

[Kenna]

My roommate finally resting peacefully after having a good meal of comfort food and finally breaking a high fever...

A beautiful Saturday spent not rushing or stressing about getting stuff done.

Good friends that will always stand by me ...and a FB message about autumn events in my hometown Virginia...

The love my son and his half brother (that I dearly wish he were mine as well) show me and how proud they make me.

Being woken up by a 1 year old in the funniest way, by him tickling my feet! Now I know to cover up my feet when I sleep.

[cricket26]

the two chihuahuas playing and the older dog just watching as he dozes :)

[Kenna]

Making a connection...

A visit with a stroke victim who seems to be making progress, as they're able to communicate more clear...

A wonderful dinner...

Revisiting conversations that make me feel good and appreciated...

My son and his half brother (the greatest gifts in the world)...

Same sex marriage bans being turned over in my home state of Virginia and current state of North Carolina...two states that I thought this would NEVER happen, or wouldn't happen in my lifetime (especially with the current governors in each, and "Amendment One" in NC)...
Shows me that patience was rewarded...

I'm very content...

[cinnamongrrl]

Getting paid to spend time in the park...

Finding a surprise dog park in said park...

Watching my dog awkwardly socialize with other dogs...he thinks he's a furry little person!

The breeze and the fall colors..

The kindness of a stranger I befriended in the park

A lesson in mushroom picking from some nice foragers in the woods...

[Kenna]

My new medical team is AMAZING!!
I'm a bit overwhelmed in a GOOD WAY at how Dr. A truly listens to me and has already, in a very short time, set me up with several specialists that I've needed for more than two years. I wish I would have found her earlier, but am soooo grateful I have her and her team now!! ...and another great thing that made my day, she isn't bound by "MCO" or insurance rules for how much time she spends with me (no 4 minute visits)...she spends as much time as she needs, and makes it a very relaxed environment (not rushed or pressured).

Her in house pharmacist spent over an hour with me to explain my new equipment and to do a "med rec" for the new Metformin...
They really make me feel valued and respected, rather than rushed and stressed out.

Finding THE RIGHT Care Team really makes a huge difference!

[cinnamongrrl]

I've been feeding a stray cat in hopes of gaining her trust and giving her a home...

Tonight she finally let me get close enough to sniff my hand...she has made huge leaps compared to when I first saw her...poor thing

My momma's birthday and how blessed I am to have her in my life...still....praise God!

The celebration about to unfold in a few hours and so many will be here to celebrate our momma...

But the thing that makes me smile most today?
It's how happy and loved I feel. How incredibly blessed I am. And how at this very moment, I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time...

I wish that joy for all of you as well...Love isn't love till you give it away... :)

going to Tampa for a job related conference on Thursday. It will be good to be away, it's one of those conferences where you don't really leave the hotel. However, I just decided to give myself some fun and made contact with old, dear, dear friends who live in Sarasota and will be spending a good part of the day with them on Sunday. Life is good

Wild turkeys make themselves at home. (http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20141102/NEWS/411010328)

Rick Sabetta was driving along Quaker Meetinghouse Road when he saw a flock of turkeys marching in the middle of the road.

He stopped, got out of his car and attempted to shoo the birds to the safety of the roadside.

Apparently, he ruffled some feathers.

"That's when one of them charges at me," the Forestdale man said Thursday. "It starts making turkey noises and is coming at me. It chased me around my car three times before I could get ahead of it enough to get back in my car."

By then, traffic was stopped all around him.

"Try to picture a 6'8", 300-pound guy getting chased around his car by a turkey," Sabetta said. "People were laughing."

Turkey noises!!! What else woukd a turkey say?? Lol

I may be tired but that tickled me to pieces..


In my experience with wild turkeys......turkey noises involve a lot of high pitched gobbling with an occasional red rum red rum thrown in for effect. Scary and unpredictable lil buggers.

Her text.
Her laughter.
She's wonderfully witty.
And she's humble.
That makes me smile from dusk to dawn.
And strong coffee w/cream.

My sweet dad came to get my car at my office and then took it to get the recalled part fixed. Then he fixed the wiring in my broken rear window defrost and brought it back to work for me.

my landlord...yet again....

I came home from a hellish day...and he was working in the garden as ever... :)

He came over as I got out of the car and said..."you look good! A little tired...but you look happy to be HOME....now isn't that a good word??"

Sigh...my world is better and brighter for knowing this wonderful soul....

I have a themed party coming up in a couple of weeks and I will be going as Danny from Grease. Yesterday I spent a long time painstakingly creating the "T-Birds" motif on the back of my leather jacket. I needed to do it in such a way that it wouldn't ruin the jacket so I built it from carefully trimmed strips of masking tape. (Does that translate? If not, it's the white sticky tape stuff that you put around light switches/along skirting boards when you're painting your walls.)

Anyway, this morning I came downstairs, saw the jacket hanging on the back of the chair and smiled. It turned out pretty well.

[A. Spectre]

a little early in day but smiled because milk is still fresh. expiring tomorrow. the milk not me.

We did a mini interview over the phone and the lady was very happy with my qualifications. I think I have a good shot at getting it. As much as I love my residents, the pay rate is for the birds for the work we do...

going through some boxes downstairs. found my spiderman's costume when I was a kid. lordy, night after night back then I wished I could shoot web out of my wrists and attach myself to buildings.

there were thick grape vines by the side of our house where I would swing from tree to tree, alternately being tarzan or spiderman.

intensely fond memories

[ProfPacker]

ok, so I have bitched and complained this week but today my daughter was offered two culinary jobs, one is cooking for the Bloomberg, LLP campus and dining rooms in NJ and the other was for Macaroni Grill. Very cool and very proud.:chef:

and to top it all off, I like her new boyfriend who is helping her with the Bloomberg connections.

Ok, so I was singing my heart out coming home tonight - to Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. And it was fun and I don't give a damn! Lol

[ProfPacker]

I am having so much fun bowling. Makes it easier to have fun when this cute femme was soooooo excited for me because I ended my last game with what others called "a turkey" 3 strikes in a row (I couldn't believe it either, lol) I accepted her show of excitement when she lingered to say goodbye....it was sweet lol :)

Today, the message found in the bubble wrap.

However, the message last week spelled out with screws on top of his tools cart, still has me smiling.

Chocolate brownies baking in the oven.
I asked if I could have that for dinner. She smiled, said, I'm fixing dinner....

Alas, poor dear, she thinks I'll wait till after dinner. Smiling as I see her pulling out the cookie sheet, grinning at me. Betting I get some brownies first...:bunchflowers:

Got milk?

Having an uninterrupted snugglefest with my babe this morning followed by donuts in bed! We had to kick little Smudge out of the room to accomplish this! <3

[EnchantedNightDweller]

My daughter performed at a nursing home with her dance company this afternoon. I was rushing to get there and wasn't really expecting it to be so emotional. Those girls performing for the people in the nursing home - it was such a big deal to them. One lady started crying - said she was reminiscing about when she was a dancer. The girl's stayed after and talked to the residents. What a good and special feeling to be able to do something for someone else.

[ruby_woo]

I did my first ever burlesque solo tonight and I am so giddy with adrenaline right now! I need to do more of this. :D

Our cat has been running around the house like a bat out of hell all morning. Stalking invisible bugs, hissing at his own tail, running up and down the cat tree. He is usually lazy as can be. He can definitely use the exercise. :)

Finally getting my emerald (after they mounted in the incorrect setting and having to wait for them to fix it)
This was cut from a raw stone...having to wait to see how it turned out was like waiting for my first New Year's kiss!!
I'm not much into material things...but this emerald is so fun because I'm the one that found the raw stone at the gem mine! An experience I hope to enjoy again one day.

My kitten little!

She started on antibiotics for her respiratory issue and eye cream for her eye gunk (a VERY technical medical term) and she is full of piss and vinegar today!!

She has been playing since 430 this morning and has JUST NOW stopped to rest. I had no idea how poorly she was feeling previously. She was playing quite a bit but this...is amazing lol And so fun to see!!

My precious Princess Potbelly is on the mend!

Now just need to worm her and find something for fleas that won't harm her lil kitten self :)

Addendum: she is Sooo happy to be feeling well that she is fighting sleep...and not winning!!

[Cailin]

Good morning texts, and team work where a big job is divided and delegated as I took it upon myself to print and alphabetize paperwork for twenty four residents and working to get them all signed today. Two people on vacation and no one started it last night so I figured I would do it all. Makes the boss happy, so why not?

My supervisor and I have been working in his office straightening out some bad data in production all afternoon. This is very tedious work. We got wild joking around. I smile knowing we have the same style of humor. It makes this type work go so much easier. Great to be on the same wavelength with someone I work so closely with. We have one more station to correct. Tomorrow is Friday so we'll close his office door, crank up some hard rock and party down on good candy as we plow through this last one.

Happy Thursday evening to everyone!

The realization that in FIVE days I'll be home in time to have Thanksgiving dinner ON the actual day of Thanksgiving with my wife.

Haven't been able to do that in more than three years.

Also a pic sent to my phone of a "scary monster with glowing eyes" behind one of our furbabies who was hamming for the camera.

A visit with my sister and the new foster kid. So love him!
I think he'll be with us through Christmas. Can't wait to watch him open presents! !

They were getting ready to leave and we had said our goodbyes, my sister was bundling the little fella up and we laughed that he reminded us of the little brother from a Christmas Story ("I can't put my arms down")
She finally stood up from getting him dressed and he goes "I gotta pee"

Hahaha

[Kenna]

My pup wearing his "donut" around his neck to keep from chewing on his legs, but he still figured out how to "hug" me in a funny floppy way only he knows how to do.
He makes me smile and laugh every day...can't imagine life without his silly self!

[Kenna]

Tonight while at an antique shop, I met someone that I recognized their face but just couldn't place them...after chatting a bit, they spoke up and said "I KNOW where we met before!! Didn't you used to work at the employment office?"....I responded, No, but I did volunteer there to help clients apply for other public services. But that was 3 years ago.

He was very excited that he remembered me now and thanked me for patiently spending time with him THAT ONE DAY, THREE years ago, to explain how to apply for Social Security Disability/ Medicare....he took the information back to his brother-in-law (who had been suffering with Liver failure but had been denied SSD several times, yet "had been given only 5 months to live"), and with the new information on how to apply or appeal, his doctor wrote a special letter to SSD, which got him approved. And very shortly after, he had his transplant that saved his life and is now recovering well. Being approved for SSD has not only helped him get insurance coverage through Medicare, but also gives him a monthly income again. I was very happy to hear how he is starting to enjoy his quality of life again!

The gentleman kindly thanked me again and nearly made me cry when he insisted I had made such a positive impact. He doesn't know how much that means to me.

Back when I was volunteering there, I would often think to myself "why am I doing this? My boss is going to think it's a waste of time because I'm supposed to make "300 contacts" per month, but while I'm at this location, hardly anyone needs my help."...I really did feel useless and unable to help my community. ...

Tonight this reminded me that....*You* can change the world for one person at a time.
The story he shared tonight of how his brother-in-law is healing so well and how grateful he was for my help really made my heart happy.

I surely can't "fix a broken system", as much as I had tried in my previous career, but it does my heart good to help people" navigate the system" and improve their quality of life.

geckos, singing and dancing. just for me.

[MsTinkerbelly]

We have a friend that got out of prison a couple of years ago, and now lives 6 hours away by car. We have had her out to stay with us multiple times since her release, and our visits go pretty well for the most part.

After being locked in a cage and dehumanized for 15 years she has "issues", so sometimes we laugh/cry a lot. Last time, when i got up in the middle of the night i found her with her bedroom door open (doesn't like to be closed in), and fully clothed lying on top of the covers. This was the first time staying in that bedroom, so i hadn't seen her sleep before...i was suprised to say the least. She said she used to sleep that way in prison due to feeling unsafe...and she really hadn't thought about how it is not "normal" for most people.

Well, today she called me and told me she is finally sleeping under the covers in pajamas (still wears bra), and she wanted to thank me for giving her something to work on with her therapist. Her diagnosis of ocd has been changed, because the therapist thinks her behaviors are from being institutionalized, rather than a chemical imbalance.

I had big reason to :) today.

The show Lucky Dog. I love the premise and I love that animals are rescued from shelters and families get another member to love. Some dogs have been trained as therapy dogs and one was even trained how to take her new owner home when the woman's dementia kicked in and she got lost on her walks. Most excellent!

My sister and the kids came over for dinner. The little guy was so excited to show me how he wrote his name. That's big stuff when you're 5!

They left and the house was quiet once again. I went in the bathroom and saw the seat was up, there was no toilet paper and the soap was in the sink.
Had to smile at having kids in the house.
