Playing word games with a new friend; working an extremely short shift at work; getting treated to take out by a co-worker; being greeted by a silly cat who acts as if I've been gone forever

[Jesse]

Actually, it made me laugh out loud!

So, I have Sadie in the bathtub tonight bathing her. Know that we are talking about a dog that rarely if ever misbehaves. I get her all soaped up from head to tail, and just as I reach for the handheld shower, she jumps out of the tub and goes flying through the house like a mad woman! You know that run they do when they are real excited? Tail tucked, eyes popped and flying all over the place! That was her! The mistake I made was laughing when I saw her running around like that. So, I tell her to get back in the bathtub, but she knew she had the upper hand because I laughed, and she starts flying around more crazily as though she was trying to entertain me. Finally I got her back in the tub and all was well, but I wish I had gotten it on video.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Someone tickled my funny bone...it felt good to laugh, it has been too long.

My Mom and I had lunch today at the Wegman's Market Café (she had never gone there - the HORROR). It made me smile and well ok, laugh for real, when she was eating her bbq chicken and said "Damnnnnn this is some good cheekon" (and yes she said it like cheeeekon).

Maybe you had to be there. :|

Oh, and my smile right now - someone popping in to say Hi. :tea:

a series of texts and surprise weekend plans :)

[Ginger]

I'm babysitting the biggest cat on earth. He weighs about 25 pounds and has two dads, who are on vacation in Italy. I have a basket of toys for the big cat in the living room, and this morning all the toys were strewn around the room—all except the little grey mice he left in the basket.

He's clearly a bird man, not a mice man.

[~SweetCheeks~]

Its a beautiful day and I will be out enjoying it in a few.

[cinnamongrrl]

I found my very first geocache using the geocaching app that my daughter told me about!

This sea Lion meets and has a nap with her rescuers everyday.

Last year, a Galapagos sea lion named Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to make it to this hotel, where animal advocates nursed her back to health for 3 months. After she was fully healed, she was released back into the wild. But every day, she returns to rest with the humans who rescued her, after being out at sea all day. She is now pregnant and expecting within a month.

[Tierney]

My ex-boss and friend stopping by this evening to give me a :buzz cut:, it was really good to see her. Made my day.

[C0LLETTE]

I told my daughter I was going to a renaissance fair tomorrow. She burst out laughing so I started laughing too...now I'm wondering why she thought it was so funny... was it a "good for you Mom" laugh or a "that's just so dumb, Mom" laugh?... but we both laughed till we had tears in our eyes and that felt wonderful.

A Good Morning text.

[cinnamongrrl]

My client today...

She was telling me how she was going away for a week next month AND renovating her master bath...

She went on to say she wouldn't be needing a cleaning for about a month (which means I only miss one cleaning since she is every two weeks) and she hesitantly asks me what that means for my schedule. I figured she was worried about me losing pay, so I told her my company would more than likely find me something to fill in on. She looked a little concerned about that and I told her, "but I will be back as soon as you're ready!"

The relief on her face was instant and she said "Ohh GOOD!!! I don't want to lose you!"

<3

I feel so loved... :)

[JDeere]

She just got a 96 on her midterm....I am just as proud of her working towards a goal of doing this (I would have proud if she just passed) but I am impressed with her work ethic and stamina.

I little boy that I have grown deeply attached to, who is nonverbal and lives with Autism will be starting school this year. Something his parents where unsure would happen this year. The light in their eyes and the knowing that he will now start to get the much needed additional supports had me grinning ear to ear.

I took grens sister-in-law to get her license today. She is 25 and has never had a license before...watching her get out of my car after her road test and the smile on her face was a smile creator for sure.

I needed to hear and witness good news this week.

[Tierney]

I had a wonderful phone call yesterday with my academic advisor. She really should be a life coach or some such vocation. I am really pleased that I chose the school that I did. I think this going to be a wonderful experience.

Also, a phone call with a very good friend. She made me smile and realize things are only temporary.

Finally, I could not sleep last night so I wandered into chat. Everyone in there was so cool and they made me smile and laugh as well. Especially with the words of encouragement - it is nice to know when we struggle we are not alone.

All smile worthy. :glasses:

It was actually last evening. There is a shrub in my neighbor' s yard with a nest of bluejay babies......we were in the pool floating on the floats. All of a sudden we look up & on top of the pool cage is two bluejays flitting & squawking back & forth to the neighbor's roof & our pool cage. I look up to neighbor's roof & there sits a hawk...looking to get those babies in the nest. This went on about 15 minutes. Then the two bluejays flew right at the hawk, who took flight away with those 2 jays chasing & squawking at it. Was comical as the two jays combined weren't as big as that hawk...but they sent him packing.....:)

After having a very rough day about the roof I went out to spend time in my garden. I picked an entire grocery bag full of green beans and I was not even halfway through the plants and I didn't pick the little ones. I will have at least two more pickings this year!!

The funny story my sister told me while we were outside also made me laugh out loud. She bought a pepper plant from the Amish greenhouse last year. At the end of the season she took it inside and this year it started to blossom and she got a small orange pepper on it. She decided to take it out in the barn and put it on the stand. So she took it out and watered it and left it there. She went out the next day and the pepper was gone!! *Chuckling uncontrollably. She thinks a mouse got it!! My other sister put her hands on her hips and said, "Now where are all those damn cats?" The response my sister gave, "they are not allowed up on the furniture". Haaahaaahaaa!!!

I'm scared of big food. I am. I stopped eating at a fast-food joint because the chicken wings were so big. What are they doing to food to make it large? Not trying to rain on your strawberry parade, Daisy, but it's something to think about.


Orema I had not thought of it that way ! Here our local strawberries are finished. I bought a punnet of Dutch strawberries, really tiny and a punnet which were from a few counties away, they were the huge ones. They were sweet and juicy and delicious. Now here`s a thought...the little ones were tasteless and bouncy, like a rubber ball. I read an article a while ago about how fruit is `modified`...[for want of a better word]...to make it not get damaged in transit and to make it have a longer shelf life...so you are afraid of big food and I think I am afraid of bouncy food !

Food for thought eh ? !! :deepthoughts:

Food for thought, indeed! :)

You make an excellent point; size doesn't matter when it comes to modified food, but seeing big food shakes me up.

Hanging out with my best friend and her family at the Cubs game.

And meeting a randomly meeting a cool person in the beer line who didn't assume or question how I identify.

Never realized before how awesome it is to have a person refer to you as "they" out of respect.

My cheap travel cell had perfect reception out here in the middle of nowhere North Dakota during a lovely happy phone call from my daughter and son-in-law in Australia. What a great surprise!

A sweet conversation that left me with a smile.

making breakfast for my daughter....and eating together at our kitchen table that I managed to put together....

showing her the sights....

seeing a black bear AND a hawk within 10 feet of us yesterday (different places)....my kid is like grizzly Adams...this stuff never happens to me!

[JRM]

My 16 yr old niece calling me and asking me if I wanted to go to breakfast.. And then her saying oh by the way your buying I'm broke.. Lol

A text that said, "Miss you"

[Smiling]

I stopped by a little shop this afternoon and found the most unusual wooden Buddha statue hidden behind some other things on the floor.

I've never seen anything like it. It is only about 7 or 8 inches high, and was carved from some sort of wood, but it must weigh at least 30 pounds with a halo around the head. It is compelling.


And for whatever reason, I can't seem to keep my hands off of it.

Meeting a beautiful Labrador called Rita ! She was only young and was in training to be guide dog for the blind. She was in a pub I had lunch in. She lay so patiently under the table, I commented on how good she was but her handler told me she had moved twice and that wasnt allowed, she had to learn to stay in one place until her owner moved. Its amazing the detailed training these dogs under go to be able to do their jobs effectively. I cannot begin to imagine the enrichment they bring to peoples lives.

The whole entire day. Everything that happened. Everything in it. Every single bit - smile worthy.

[~SweetCheeks~]

Spending time with my family from out of town. Seeing the look on my Grandpa's face when he saw my weight loss.

[Tierney]

My Mom. She and I sitting and talking and how I phrase things and it just makes her crack up. She said my sister and I have the best senses of humour and always make her laugh with the way we tell events that happen or how we see things.

[Daisy Chain]

Having a friend over with two children she minds, they were so charming and polite, the little girl enjoyed some time in my craft room getting creative and gave me a big hug when she left and told me she really loved coming here..{it was their first time visiting !} Have asked them back next week....that made them happy, me too !!...I can add whilst she was crafting my tomboy daughter was enjoying a game of football with the lad, win win situation !

What made me smile today?

Knowing that in less than two months I get to spend a whole month visiting my family in Boston. I haven't seen my sister or her twin girls in over 2 years. And I get to get fat on all the bad american food I can eat!

taking myself on an impromptu adventure today...

I went out looking for Bryson City...since I saw it on a recent House Hunters and it looked wicked nice...but...my GPS is wonky and I ended up in Cherokee/ Maggie Valley...

I stopped at a cheezy touristy place and poked around and got some boiled peanuts.....found the casino by accident...

http://visitcherokeenc.com/play/attractions/harrahs-cherokee-casino-resort/

and also a place called The Stompin' Ground where they do bluegrass and clogging and such....

http://www.blueridgemusicnc.com/find-music/event/music-and-dance-at-the-stompin-ground

Also I traversed a beautiful part of the Blueridge Parkway from Maggie Valley to Sylva...the only reason I left the parkway was because I was running on fumes after all the mountains...

Had a yummy but cheap lunch at DQ (pumpkin pie blizzards are BACK!!!!) Jacques got his own lil ice cream treat too...and we took a little hike on the mountain to sea trail.

All in all a good day... :)

I didn't like this movie and this video made me smile.......
though they are explaining the frogs at the end as being okay because she somehow dropped into a lake....
I think it's more like the folks making the film don't understand that there are not frogs like that in the ocean.........
not that it matters!

he was sufficiently anxious at our presence; I think he will do fine with approaching humans selectively...at least I hope so....

Not today, a day or two ago but...

I love macaroons, only have one very occasionally as a treat. Daughter goes out with to lunch with a birthday party, at a new all you can eat buffet place. Desert selection has macaroons !! She sneaks some in her pocket for Mama !! She gets home and bounds up to me all excited fishing in her pocket.......oh....seems one fell out along the one, one she admitted to eating on the journey home, leaving two. One has been reduced to crumbs and gets shaken out on the floor leaving a squashed strawberry one remaining. I bet you dont fancy it do you she says sadly picking some fluff of it. Oh Yes I do, I assured her. It was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed it with a tear in my eye that while all her pals had been whooping it up at the ice cream bar and chocolate fountain she had thought of me ! I am very blessed !!
