What made you smile today?

[Ascot]

I just got back from the Boys And Girls Club Youth of the Year awards dinner. It was heartwarming and I was so charmed by hearing these kids tell their stories of personal growth achieved through their involvement with the club.

We get some unusual wildlife in these parts every now and then. This is an eastern coyote photographed on the beach a few days ago.

The eastern coyote is one of 19 subspecies of coyote, which are adaptable predators that live everywhere from the streets of Los Angeles to Florida swamps. The eastern subspecies, which ranges as far west as Ohio, is thought to have migrated to the Northeast some 80 years ago, taking over the range occupied by wolves and interbreeding with the larger animals.

They no longer overlap with wolves, which are long gone from the East save for the very rare red wolf, but they remain eight to 25 percent wolf genetically, said Roland Kays, a leading coyote biologist with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

They are also about eight to 11 percent dog due to past interbreeding with feral dogs, he said. The eastern coyote remains capable of having pups with dogs, but it’s not common in part because their breeding cycles don’t neatly overlap.

Hybridization with wolves gave eastern coyotes their size and weight, with eastern coyotes averaging about 35 pounds and the Western subspecies averaging about 25 pounds.

Scientists see evidence that the wolf DNA is increasingly helping the eastern coyotes survive, Kays said. And they might also be growing in number.

[cinnamongrrl]

Looking on the school computer on the last day of add/drop and finding ONE seat open in the class that fits perfectly into my schedule. (And I already have the books since I was originally scheduled for this class) I was seeing my advisor any way about transfer credits and she swooped in and snagged me the seat!
The topic is more interesting too. And the professor is not bland. I'm a super happy girl :)

Booking TWO gigs since last night! :cheer:

[Gemme]

Gracie has been so sweet today and crawled up in my lap to snooze while I watched NCIS. She even opted to snuggle in my lap despite DC having a blanket (she has a blanket fetish). I think it's because I'm wearing my velour pajama set and velour feels delicious but I was still a little smug about it.

:cheesy:

[kittygrrl]

reminiscing with a good friend over coffee-time flies..

[Gemme]

We've bought some fairly expensive things for the fur babies since they arrived but their absolute favorite toys are the .99 toy mice. Go figure.

They are so freakin' cute playing and tossing them around and chasing one another when they realize that the other one has a mouse too.

After I got home, fed the pups, went out and stayed for a while watching them play, I knew I needed some downtime, something mindless to relax me.

I am smiling now.

Watched 3 of my favorite Cow & Chicken cartoons.

If anyone is interested, here are 3 youtube links to these episodes:

There is nothing funny about bad reactions to edible marijuana, even if you are a cop who stole the goodies during a prior drug arrest. Nor is there anything funny about the cops coming to you rescue getting injured in the process.

But, I really want to know how one of the under the influence cops got stuck in a tree. :)

Two cops suspended after allegedly eating marijuana edibles while on duty (https://www.yahoo.com/news/two-cops-suspended-allegedly-eating-211315619.html)

An almost "eye level" sighting each evening of the snowy egrets as they return to roost in their rookery a few feet from my window. I love watching them each evening come in to roost and depart each AM to forage for the day. I have enjoyed this spectacle for several years in most places I have lived.

My deceased partner & I enjoyed this for several years prior to her death. Now I see it as a sign, she is telling me she is always near & protecting me.

[Mopsie]

I was in Walmart today picking up a few things. In the checkout line the older guy behind me had this bag of really big googly eyes. So, me being me, of course I had to ask him about it. He got this mischievous grin on his face and said he was going to pull a prank on his wife and put googly eyes on all the food in the refrigerator. I got a good laugh out of that.

As I was walking away from the checkout a man saw me laughing and said, "You have a great smile - it makes me think you know something I want to know!"

That made me grin even bigger!

The beginning of a new month

The simple act of making toast in my 1940s toaster for which I paid $2 at a tag sale in Northampton Massachusetts in 1989. It still works like a champ, even without, or perhaps specifically because it hasn’t any computerized components.

Being asked to fill out a small 'about me' questionnaire for my new job to go with my first day photo so my coworkers can get to know me better (everyone has one posted on the intraweb). It was basic stuff (hometown, favorite hobby, movie, vacation spot and quote) but it felt great to feel included and part of a team :sunglass:

[Lyte]

Not a one particular thing... the whole day has been smile worthy! Got some errands done... some crafting some... some chatting done... a very productive and satisfying day! I gotta take off from work more often! :koolaid:

Silly conversations.....my friends are hilarious sometimes...and I really enjoy chatting & laughing with them....

"Interesting mix..." Well I guess it kinda really is.. Laughed about as hard as when the cashier at Walmart said it when I set down a 8 pack of disposable cameras, a value pack of zip ties, value pack of duct tape and the largest size one can buy of Vaseline..

The Roller Derby World Cup. I adore the derby scene! It's not only about an excellent sport, it's just so full of fun and joy and happiness and good sportsmanship, and supporting good causes - especially encouraging girls to do sports at school and stick with education and suchlike around the world.

And now the World Cup is over, and it's three years until the next one :-(

Oh well, I'll just have to make do with the regular inter-league matches and the WFTDA anual finals! :-)

A blue sky day. After weeks of grey, misty and cold I am enjoying a soft blue sky and sunshine on my face. Supposed to start raining tomorrow and continue all weekend so appreciating this all the more.

Also smiling because a sweet little Wyandotte hen that was feeling poorly and in quarantine is now doing much better. A friend has a backyard flock and I like to go visit.


Katniss~~ I guess you could say the hen has "re-coop-erated". 😄

I opened the mail and a brand new catalog from ULTA, made me smile. I'm going to crack it open soon!!!

[~SweetCheeks~]

I was at a local florist shop looking at funeral arrangements when another woman came in looking for an arrangement as well. We started talking about our loved ones and how they both passed away rather suddenly, and I had said that I actually had forgotten about purchasing a flower arrangement, as I was so focused on getting everything else done. We both went back to selecting our arrangements when she walked over and gave me her condolences and said, "I hope you don't mind, but I put down some money towards your mother's arrangement." The florist also gave me a significant discount, and said "I too know how hard it can be. I hope your mother's memorial is beautiful." All I could do was cry and say thank you.

A special dinner date this Friday night....:).

[Katniss]

Home from work and walking to get the mail I saw the saucer magnolia (tulip tree) in my yard was fat with buds. Reaching up to touch the fuzzy casing made me smile. We have had weeks of dreary weather so the promise of spring sunlight later really makes me smile.

[easygoingfemme]

My daughter is home for the weekend- yay!
She cut off almost all of her hair and it looks super cute. Yay!
She needed a trim though so I brought out the buzzers and trimmed the back and sides (top is still a few inches long)
We're going to a music/ dance festival this weekend and she's trying on outfits to pack. First a bunch of dresses. Then she came out in a button down and a bow tie. A perfectly tied bow tie. I let her know that - not to be stereotypical- but to be warned that the girls were going to swarm her in that outfit.
She flushed madly and smiled and play stomped into her room :) :) :)

[Gemme]

My kitties are so freaking adorable in the morning. Loki always acts like he hasn't seen me for months and he's always happy about it. That's a warm 'n fuzzy feeling boost first thing, every day.

[RockOn]

I have been up since daylight working on this fence for my new dog. I decided to give myself the gift of using eight hours annual leave today ... finishing the fence early. When I called in, was told "don't forget, we have a holiday on Monday." I had no idea. I am famous for forgetting about holidays and going on in to work. I have so much outdoor work to do and not just the fence. This will make it much easier on me. No need to kill myself now but just keep it steady. Whew! Yes, smiling big time! :)

[homoe]

A very unexpected package in the mail with goodies in it!

[Medusa]

Working at home, messy bun, yoga moves, a genie-suit that is so thin you could show a movie through it, red lipstick, and the rest of the weekend to luxuriate in all that is joyous. <3

Seeing Lili do the hula ......

[Ascot]

The warm reception I received when I approached the county head of the Boys & Girls Club to discuss what, if any, programs were in place for queer kids. She was thrilled that I'd come to speak with her and said she'd very much like to work with me to put something together. I am heartened that it is a topic very much on the radar at the national level of the club, and that the county wants to get more going on that front. It is my understanding that the clubs are quite open and affirming, and I'm going to work to do what I can to help.

My oldest and I having a very good conversation during our four hour drive back from the city. Latter him telling me out of the blue he loves me – and knowing he sincerely means it.

Coming home to find my youngest took very good care of the two cats and five kittens while I was away. Seeing that rather than just doing the absolute bare minimum he'd actually done some extras without being asked.

Monte the Magnificent so glad to see me back home again.

Seeing how nicely Survival Cat, despite nursing a very demanding litter, continues to put on weight, and how well she managed her kittens while I was away.

A very beautiful moon tonight.

Being able to relax knowing I no longer have to be on a very expensive medication that added eight bitter tasting pills to my daily med regime. Two hundred and forty horse pills a month less to have to take – now that's some something really great to smile about.

Hearing if I do well with that med being removed from the list I could be released to work at least part time fairly soon, and if I'm on it for two years without any problems I might even be able to be gradually weaned off of it altogether.

Being up and out of that uncomfortable hospital bed with it's constantly changing inflation rate and and re-positioning rolling motion effects and the thought of finally being back home where the bed, even if it's only just a couch, at least doesn't toss me about giving me a bounced around the ocean in a survival raft feeling experience.

Thinking about how good this day, and three others earlier in the week were.

[Kobi]

Coming home to see the trees guys getting ready to take down the leaning 40 foot pines. My roof and nerves are very grateful.

Must remember this come Spring when the full brunt of the sun is baking the living room.

Today at work- one of my residents was having a bad day and was feeling down. I asked her if she wanted a hug and she smiled and we had a good hug. Two minutes later I hear another resident come home. I hear the resident I just hugged asking her if she had a bad day. Other resident confirms, yes, she had a hard day. Then I hear her ask if she wants a hug, and I hear the other resident cheerfully say yes. Way to pass it on!

My blushing bride and I going to the Sara Evans concert recently. She was the finale following two other female country singers. All were fantastic!

The pinnacle of the evening was observing this little girl (6 or 7) 2 rows up there with her mom totally dancing all night long! Totally free with her arms swinging to the music high above her head. Her head in sync swaying with the notes. She will remember this concert forever, as I will always remember this little girl. So innocent, so happy.

I started the daunting task of organizing my yarn after it got all disheveled in the move....and my honey sat down with me and helped. We got it done in no time at all. It had seemed like an impossible task....

My across the street neighbor and her adorable, anti-social (so she claims) dog. I was outside working in my yard and turned around to see my neighbor all but being drug across the street in my direction by her corgi. I asked her if everything was alright and she told me her dog saw me outside, got all excited and wouldn’t quit bugging her until she brought him out see me. I squated down to pet him and he dang near knocked me over trying to give me hugs and kisses. I’m not sure why, but that little guy sure does like me, and I like him.

I don't believe in Spring until we've made it past the first week of April. Most years, we have one last nasty storm that week so if we make it past then, I'll believe in Spring again.

[Esme nha Maire]

I was in Boots the Chemists today, to get a few things, including a pressure bandage for my weak knee, and was having trouble finding them, partly no doubt, due to my concentration not being good due to my hurty knee, and partly because everything I ever want always seems to be down on the bottom shelf where I have trouble noticing it (I'm quite tall).

A very helpful shop assistant kindly helped me get what I needed. Then, of a sudden, as I was paying for my stuff, she commented about my lipstick - but it wasn't just 'Oh, I like your lipstick!', though I can't recall exactly what she did say now - suffice to say it made me feel flustered, as it referenced my being femme.

Dang, I didn't think of what I should have said in reply until I was walking out of the shop, but heck, that made me feel good! She was a quite adorable small femme of unknown (to me) sexuality. But... <grin>

Yesterday it was my new battery-powered pedicure gadget. I've never owned one before - oh, that's SO much easier than trying to get at the hard skin on your feet with a piece of pumice stone!

Today it was the old boxed vanity set that I bought at the Great Malvern flea market - old enough that the tools included a button hook and glove stretchers! A bit tatty from sheer age but quite lovely - and I picked up a usable perfume sprayer and a nice proper paisely scarf too!

My mother and youngest brother traveled to a huge regional show down in the Mt Shasta area yesterday and she sent pictures to me by text of their drive to Mt Shasta..... there's a lot of snow on the mountain and lower elevations.

I smiled listening to audio of female pilot talking to ground control.

Tammie Jo Shults, one of the first female fighter pilots in the U.S. military, had to land plane when an engine blew out and created hole. She is described as having nerves of steel.

getting a few things ready for my Daddi’s visit

[RockOn]

waking up with little Jennifer Avery (pocket pittie) snuggled into my neck making these funny little sleeping noises :)

[Chained Daisy]

Spring, blues skies after grey ones, buds on trees and chirpy birds enjoying some long awaited sunshine.

Kind words......love from folks in my intimate circle...:)

[Bèsame*]

Catching my reflection on the glass doors. :)

[Gemme]

A lot of things!

[Femmewench]

I didn't smile. I laughed hard for about five minutes.

My niece and I are having a sleepover tomorrow. I'm talking to my ex about this and ask if she has bought Ari a new swimsuit. My ex says "no, why would I?" I said "It doesn't fit. Ari tried it on last time and it's too small." Dead silence from the other end of the line.

My ex says "How can the swing set not fit Ari anymore? I know the backyard is small, and it's a tight fit to get the swing set in, but it fits."

My ex waited patiently for me to stop laughing, with several interruptions to tell me how patient she was being.

I'm so glad someone else has my hearing every once in a while.

[kittygrrl]

sowing seeds...getting in the groove and ..

[Kenna]

I made out like a bandit tonight at auction... including two NEW bed frames (with storage underneath) I'm thinking of donating one to Habitat Restore; a rare, short antique iron sewing table base that I'll make into a high dollar coffee table; a BEAUTIFUL, large antique wooden box with hand cut corner joints that will become a great "upcycled" project; an old, small tool vice; and a new, heavy duty, rolling "shop cart" with 2 deep sided shelves that will make a perfect dog grooming cart to install my large stainless sink on the top shelf (at belly height) after drilling a hole for the drain.

I'm too excited to get some projects done tomorrow. Especially the grooming sink that will make my job so much easier.

[WickedFemme]

sitting here in bed with bobbi - finally.... after three years of immigration hell.

[RockOn]

waking up and realizing it is a three day weekend (some kind of holiday on Monday)

[Gemme]

waking up and realizing it is a three day weekend (some kind of holiday on Monday)

Holiday for April 23rd? Oh yeah! It's International Nose Picking Day. National German Beer Day too.

Maybe one will lead to the other.

:blink:

[bright_arrow]

Submitting my request for diploma for end of next semester.

Sending my mom a wedding dress picture, her loving it, and me then ordering it.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Pouting enough to get my way lol

[Bèsame*]

The girls at work....they talked me out of doing the stupid thing I thought I should do..

They have my back!

[bright_arrow]

Only having to run the dishwasher once today at work.
Co-worker surprising me with cake pops and letting me pick one.
Planning our "buddy lunch" at a local ramen place next week.
Wedding talk with my future SIL.

[bright_arrow]

My boss telling me I am getting a promotion and a raise! Just waiting on the official announcement to be made to the company.

In case anyone was wondering, the official announcement was made yesterday. I'm so proud of him :blush:

[bright_arrow]

His #stalkerdaddyishereforhisgirl ping when he sees me step off the train. Every time :) (f)

[Medusa]

I am smiling so hard at the routine JD and I have fallen into when it comes to FaceTime.

We've FaceTimed every night for the entirety of our dating and I just LOVE how it feels like we are really together. We do our dishes on camera, we talk politics on camera, he reads to me, we take baths...the whole thing.

I love our connection. Can't wait to get moved so that it's real and in person every night. :blush:

[Gemme]

My fur children are especially cute and entertaining this morning.

[Bard]

Good morning messages from the girl and m goose coming into my room to just hang out and talk when she got up this morning almost a cuddle with me but she is now to grown for that

[Blade]

A happy quiet baby boy at breakfast

[Bèsame*]

Noticing a familiar swagger walk past.....

[FireSignFemme]

After working on removing window film stepping back to take a look and seeing the results. Next step, shop for and then get the new stuff up while it's still cool out.

[Canela]

All the things I got done today...including but not limited to shopping. :blueheels:

What a wonderfully productive day!

[Liam]

Seeing a child's first solo steps, and witnessing their delight.

[Esme nha Maire]

Discovering what a new friend thinks of me - and feeling pleasantly embarassed by it!

[Blade]

This goofy little puppy Briar

[firecat242]

Someone with determination.

[Kätzchen]

The beautiful weather over the past few days. It's beautiful again, today. Gorgeous weather makes me smile, nearly always. :stillheart:

[Wrang1er]

Riding bikes with my nephews. We like gliding down the hills.

[Gemme]

I was sitting on the sofa and both kitties wanted up in my lap. I patted my leg and called to Gracie but she won't get up when Loki wants to so he jumped up. I laid back and was watching TV with him laying against me as he watched TV too and he looked up at me and I looked down and it was the sweetest thing. I love my babies when they are sweet like this. It's the best kind of warm 'n fuzzy feeling.

[JDeere]

Being told i was appreciated...

[Esme nha Maire]

Happy I haven't got a hangover! <grin>

[Kätzchen]

Sweet memories of three butch's I've known over my lifetime.

[Lyte]

We had a potluck at work today and we've a young man who fancies himself a budding chief. He's very brave because he'll bring new (untried) dishes! Of course, his food makes me smile ... because it's delicious ... but more than that ... the smile on his face (almost giddy!) when everyone LOVES whatever he brought ... that too makes me smile. :)

[cinnamongrrl]

My honey....he bought me a Dyson today! The canister type I've been wanting. It's so lovely and blue........sigh.....he's so swell

:cheer:

[candy_coated_bitch]

Tea and friendship.

[Bèsame*]

I'm still in gardenia heaven. Even more now, all the hanging baskets have been brought into the apartment. My building is scheduled to be painted, so I had to bring them all in. I think they like it inside, I can see at least 20 blossoms right now.

[Logicaly]

Seeing how much my girls work appreciates her. I am so incredibly proud of her for chasing her dreams, never giving up, and always striving for more.

[cinnamongrrl]

I was pondering yesterday on how much my life has changed in the last year.....

I rediscovered the love of my life

Moved back home

Bought a house (!!)

and started not one but TWO businesses....

I feel blessed beyond compare <3

[Dean Thoreau]

Today I bought a three piece suit. This is my first suit after chest surgery... and granted I don’t have a 6 pack (more like a barrel) iI am feeling great.
Oh I joined a gym, talk about incentive!
Finally I can buy a suit and dress shirts that don’t require acres of tailoring to fit my chest.... 😀😀😀😀😀

[Kätzchen]

I am having a great day (great PT session, saw my best Wing Girl and her mom, more good stuff is on the way..... ) :)

[TL1]

Coming home.............

Other things too but that’s the latest thing

Card collection?

[JDeere]

Getting a reflexology gift card for an early bday present!!!!

Hopefully it can give me some relief.

[Bèsame*]

I'm smiling a little more this evening after receiving so many kind words. Thank you, you all have touched my heart.

[Esme nha Maire]

A bold-as-you-like robin coming up so close whilst I was collecting cuttings that if I'd had suitable food, I think it might've taken it from my hand. Enchanting!

A lazy hour on a wooden bench in the college quad at lunchtime in partial shade, reading Diva magazine and listening to the birds happily singing their hearts out. Getting a text from my my new special someone, and looking forward to our next date...

[Teddybear]

Her voice calling to wake me not knowing I had been up over an hour already.

[CowboyJ]

Watching my son jump on a trampoline in class and bust out the seat of his shorts but just kept jumping and smiling. It was so refreshing to see that no one cared or made fun of him and he was just full of joy with his friends. Everyone laughed and so did he but they cheered as he did a front flip. Oh to be young and non judgemental!!!!

[Teddybear]

Her showing up at work with German chocolate cake. I shared with others in my office then off we came home.

I'm so lucky. She is pretty and she cooks

From the sound of it, she's also considerate, thoughtful and kind.

Waking with her by my side. Watching her sleep with this perfect grin on her face. How lucky can one be

Seeing that familiar name, on line when your signed on.

[Kenna]

As I'm laying on the couch recovering from my fall down the porch steps tonight, the pup is playing her heart out and amusing herself by chewing on her front paws like they were squeaky toys. She's too damn cute.

[Gemme]

The kittehs. They are so adorable when they aren't tearing up the place.

[Kenna]

Two orders of yummy Funnel Fries with a tiny amount of powdered sugar.

[Kenna]

The pup has learned to sleep next to me now that she's better with potty training... But tonight she's 'pitching a fit' that I crated her. She's so sassy.

[cinnamongrrl]

A visitor's message made my morning :)

an Ladybug landed on my arm today.....and it made me smile. I've heard that if an ladybug lands on you that it's an sign of good luck. I'll take it. Small victories, good luck, and ladybug's. :)

[knight]

Many things made me smile, including watching 2 eagles diving in the lake for fish...

[Chained Daisy]

A breeze blowing through a blossom tree making the petals fall like tiny pink snowflakes, it was magical. I`m all about the blossom right now, all too soon it will be gone....

[Gemme]

Saying hello to a gym acquaintance this morning made me smile.

[Degotoga]

Spending the day fishing the river. While doing so I happened upon a very young squirrel that was a bit curious about me. We had some sort of verbal exchange (me telling it I wasn't going to hurt it or its environment, and it chattering back at me) then I shared some of my trail mix with it. It didn't eat out of my hand but it ate what I put on the ground for it, once I took a few steps away from it. My tiny guardian stayed close by and we continued to share my stash until I decided to move on down the river. It was so peaceful out there and being accepted into my tiny guardian's environment made it all the more so.

[LaDivina]

The first lilac-sniff of the season.

[LOQUI]

putting that last piece of the puzzle...

[Gemme]

I found the exact same product that was on peachycheap.com this morning but I can get more for about the same price. Sweet.
