What made you smile today?

[bright_arrow]

Walking by a flower stand on the way to work today and admiring some purple flowers with a fleeting thought to buy myself some.

Cracking jokes with co-workers through a very boring Excel webinar, and then taking a nice long walk to the Ferry building to get some pizza together.

[girl_dee]

Watching my love get hys hair cut at the barbers. Lunch after was smile worthy too!

A surprise phone call asking a time sensitive question.

Admiring my butch while joining the new family at lunch.

[Kenna]

What does a small crow bar, a hammer, two pieces of a wooden dowel, a cheap ass battery powered drill with a large 23/64 drill bit, several WTF moments about "Who the fuck would use these huge thick ass nails to put this together?", 2 wood screws, a recycled strike plate, and a happy dance have in common???

(I'll let you think on that)

My roomie said he should have made a video of me in action. Then he said "if it was that easy, why didn't you fix it 4 years ago?"

A coworker and her Little Sister (http://www.bbbs.org) left a pet rock (https://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/14-759-post/DSC03053-600x424.jpg) on my desk. It's painted in a brilliant "Van Gogh" blue with little paw prints on it. Looks like a doggie came along and left his mark on the rock. Very sweet of them to think of me and it's put a smile on my face.

I decided that the old felt pendant from High School, will now be hanging on the hotel room door this weekend. It will remind everyone, that the two fun girls will be in that room!

Not only did I smile, but I'm sure all my classmates will be smiling too.
It's been fun, the last year, re connecting with many. We have discovered many secrets that happened many years ago. In fact, I even got an apology, long over do, but not forgotten.

[Kenna]

Making arrangements to pick up the special metal furring strips ("20 gage hat channel") I've been searching for. And making arrangements to pick up my 1979 Toyota tailgate that's perfect to make my work desk. (Asheville here I come!)
Really excited to get 2 projects done.

[Greco]

The thought of winter camping one last time while I'm
still living here...will miss this place...but I certainly will visit...

and getting a new hatchet this weekend!...for camp fires of course.

Watching my mom drink a hot cup of coffee that I made her on my camping grill. Our electricity has been out since 6:30 last night. She said I didn't have to go to the trouble but I did and it makes me smile seeing her enjoy it. It's a nippy 34 degrees here right now.

Listening my 6 years old little man trying to practice his English with me by saying in a sweet tone, and with his beautiful Puerto Rican accent:

While traveling, I waited at the bar while the kitchen made my food order. I decided to have a margarita while I waited and the bartender made a drink that was pre-mixed. She said taste it and let me know if it is okay so I did. I said it needs booze so she added two shots for free and I smiled.

Smile and LMAO!

Christmas Eve we always go to my moms. My sister was drinking quite a bit. Kept trying to feed shots to everyone. And also danced showing us certain dances that I do not remember the names of. Now if you knew my sister you’d understand. She is sweet and quiet and seemingly innocent. Very nice to everyone. She was nice tonight too. Just funny as hell! Where did my baby sister go? I felt like I got to know a different side of some of my family because even my mom let loose a bit which was nice.
I usually sort of dread the get together’s but I honestly had a great time!

My mother's sense of humor: She sent me a Santa hat, a delicate apron from the 1930's, and a picture of Taurus (she always thinks I'm Taurean, rather than a Gemini, LOL). Hee Hee, I love my (((( Mom ))))). :cheesy:

And.... she sent me flower bulbs to plant. LMAO. :tease:

It was actually last night, and it startled me at first.

Heavy knock on my door, lead to a delivery of a package that went to the wrong apt. It was a perfect delivery on Christmas day eve.

She managed to escape the rodeo, last summer, and is wandering an Alaskan park of about 4K+ acres. I hope she remains free and safe and is never found, *lol*. I remember the herd of cows we had on our family farm (we had Holsteins and Black Angus cows), and how our cows Bossie and Flossie (twin sister cows of the Holstein herd) were always finding ways to escape. Betsy reminds me of Bossie and Flossie. :)

[easygoingfemme]

Holding a sweet 7 week old baby. It was at the end of a very trying day at work. The director of the daycare downstairs from me walked by with this beautiful baby. I followed her, as I often do when she has a baby in her arms, and begged. She happily passed him over and we snuggled and smiled at each other and made silly faces.

But then reality sank in and I beat out several of my professors.....including my supervisor. Reality: :|

[RebelDyke]

I think we should make an "I had an unbelievably AWESOME day because" thread.

Because this was beyond just a smile! I had asked one of my professors if they would be willing to do a research project with me and the response was (without hesitation) a YES! I even had another professor come up and vouch that I would be a great candidate to do research with! WOOT WOOT!

Hello PhD!!! HERE I COME!

[Esme nha Maire]

Spending the first half of the afternoon with an old friend of mine, one of my two male friends, having a bit of a catch-up on each others news opver a cuppa at a nice little cafe. We've known each other half a lifetime now, which I never would have expected when we first met. Seen each other through a lot. We're both just as daft as we were, crikey, nearly 30 years ago- we just have less energy to put into it. But we're still plotting the odd moments of silly mayhem..

[JDeere]

She booked the hotel for us for her visit!

[RockOn]

Made me smile really big knowing no work at job until Monday.

I slept late - until almost 7:00 and did not feel guilty.

The dogs made me not only smile but laugh at their antics. They all wanted to snuggle with me just before we got up. I only have two sides. Jeffrey circled me twice before he plopped down on Jennifer. She crawled out from under him and wiggled in between Kevin and I. Kevin was not bothered in the least.If it had been Kevin wiggling in on Jennifer, she would have gone back to her pillow and pouted. They are so funny!

[JDeere]

Morning convos with talks about what she wants to do while she visits!

[JustLovelyJenn]

Hugs from my Daddy!

[RockOn]

this made me smile today ...

I stopped at Walmart to buy a new air filter for my truck. Cutest little butch woman helped me. She looked up the model number of the filter after I gave her details year, make, engine size, etc. ... I asked her would she put it on for me. Normally I would have done that but I had just left the doctor, then filled a script for pain. I could barely walk this morning.

We walked out to my truck and she was asking about the limp and back brace. She said she knew sciatic pain is horrible. I asked her if she had experienced it. She said she hadn't but her wife had. Anyway, here she is a small wirey mechanic in a uniform that swallows her, working in a man's world in a small country town.

I enjoyed talking to her as she switched the old to new air filter. Not hard to do for a well person but the stretching on tippy toes would have killed me. At one point in our conversation, it became conveinent for me to tell her I am gay too. She grinned big, became more talkative about her personal stuff. As we were parting company, she told me to always ask for her when I came in for any needs regarding my truck. I told her I certainiy would. I could easily be wrong but I would bet she has an ultra feminine wife.

[JDeere]

Being in mutual agreeance with her about further going into the relationship, open communication!

Bought a new air purifier which is whisper quiet... what a delightful week :)

Bought new jeans... and other goodies :)

Cherry trees are in bloom, and weather is lovely; will be taking full advantage of the good weather to be out and about more and more :)

Don't feel like doing anything at all but enjoying the beauty around me this upcoming summer.

Waking to find Monte curled up, way up high on one of his perches, sleeping. Him waking up startled by the noise of me preparing breakfast and looking around to see what the commotion was about. Then seeing it was only me, him relaxing, and falling right back to sleep. It feels good knowing he trusts me to look after him, safeguard his interests. Which of course I do because well, after all he is Monte the Magnificent.

Watching a ballet documentary today, that reminded me how my love of ballet is shared with my sweet niece. This documentary was how the makings of a production was put on by a NY prima ballerina. How she has the drive of doing many choreographies and balances it so gracefully. My niece is doing many different things and working on her dissertation, just as gracefully. I shot her out a text this afternoon, and we talked for a brief min. I'm so proud of her.

[RebelDyke]

when the coordinator of a certain class decided to choose her book based on my opinion of which would be most beneficial to everyone who will be using it rather than just focusing towards one group. AND she was just as excited about the next semester as I am.

Not sure if she does that for all of her students... or if i am just the big nerd who always stops by her office for a chat because it is near mine.

[Bèsame*]

Smiling...

Even though it got quite loud and annoying while I slept during the night, I woke to find it still raining with thunderstorms. I love to be awake when these occur, its exciting! I don't think I'll ever get enough of thunderstorms. You see, I grew up in the land of sunny beaches, fog and smog.
After leaving the coast, I found I'm totally intrigued by clouds!

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird migration is here. It never ceases to amaze me how far these tiny birds can fly every year, from across the Gulf of Mexico, to Canada, and then back for winter, yet, they remember every flower stop, and folk's that feed them. Old folklore is, if you feed them, you will have some good luck. They are grey and white with green on their back and the males have red around their neck.

I started watching a movie last night and stopped in the middle to call it bed time. So this morning, I finished it. I'm glad I did, because for the rest of the day, I will be thinking of the message it sent and the thought provoking ending today. Instead of sleeping on it, and forgetting the messages. Very sweet true friendship/romance.

Last night my 6 year old nephew came home from playing with a little girl from next door. She walked him home and I opened the door. My Nephew introduced me to her. “ This is my Aunt. She is HILARIOUS. And she smells good “. So funny. Then his friend played for a bit and went to go home. My nephew stayed on the couch while she got up to leave. So I coached him to see her out. So he walked her home. After she had walked him home. So sweet.

being stuck in a massive rain storm tonight and watching everyone around me in the store receiving the flash flooding alert to everyone's cell phone....

hahah.. we are all connected.

It's Gentleman Jack day!



OMG it sure was and Gentleman Jack got lucky................:eyebat:

[Lyte]

I just started watching that... very interesting!

There's a movie version on Amazon too... interesting to see a different "interpretation" of her diaries.

Do you mean the movie Secret Diaries of Anne Lister?

[RebelDyke]

the spread I bring for the Final Exam for my class went over extremely well. My students were shocked it was all for them. I even got to call the teachers down for extras. (brownie points for that one)

[Lyte]

That's the one! :)

[VintageFemme]

I work at home full time these days. But every now and then it's requested that I come into the office usually to do a photoshoot and today was that day. It's always so fun when I go into the office anymore because I rarely do but it's also so lovely to be respected for the 'other' part of my life that I've managed to combine with that which pays the rent. I'm a lucky woman.

And The Bronx Tale tonight w/ a cheap bottle of red.

We’ve been watching this too. So good!

With all this spring cleaning going on, I purged my craft closet. I figured if I hadn't needed it, looked for it or even thought about it, out it goes.
Seriously, do I need 3 styrofoam balls or a floral block? Do I need to save every odd ball scrap of craft paper?

However, I took pictures of some fabric to sell on Etsy. Also some yarn. Within the hour, I sold the rare Laurel Birch fabric. $$

It's like I got paid to clean the closet! Score!!

Our town's little bitty Memorial Day Parade. The VFW is our store's next door neighbor, so the parade stops just before us and the overfill is in front of our store. All the scouts and little league teams.....just a happy day! :)

I ordered some curtain rods for my Mom, to get picked up from her local Walmart. Well, it wasnt her Walmart after all. It was the one 20 min away. Flippin Walmart !

Get in the car, ask my phone to take me to the Flippin Walmart. Lol

Seriously, there is a town called Flippin!

A long flight with a sweet lady gently leaning on me while we both read our books. It was a comfort to have her lean on me.

Picking up the keys to my new studio and finding out that I'll get some money refunded to me on my car insurance, due to the new zip code. Lots to smile about today. :balloon:

[FireSignFemme]

My son telling me when he mentioned to J he was worried I might lose housing she told him not to and said if that happened I was welcome to stay with them. It made him happy to hear that. And it made me feel good to know she cares about him enough to, if need be, LOL put up with me. He added- Not right away though, we are trying to make a baby, but don't worry mom we'll never let you wind up homeless. If it ever really came down to that you'd stay with us because that's what family is about, being there for each other. :D

[Amulette]

I give my :cat: bubble baths. He tolerates it, although today no amount of sweet talk would ease his grumpy pants. I smile because even though he won't admit it I know he feels better, and he is so handsome!

Ok, that works!!!

[FireSignFemme]

Thinking about J calling me Mom for the first time. No awkward conversations about can I call you this, refer to you as... No just natural and spontaneous as if it were a routine matter of course. I didn't want make a big deal out of it, chance leaving her feeling uncomfortable so just carried on our conversation without pause, as if between us nothing remarkable, just an everyday occurrence. However inside I was super happy – she's like the daughter I never had.

:cheer:

[cinnamongrrl]

Twas last night....

My sister and her family and my honey and myself went the next town over to the annual bonfire they have. It was a hellishly hot day to light a mound of wood on fire but it sure was purty.
They have a few vendors and a live band played great music. The kids had a blast. My only regret is not bringing the fur kids.
It was a lovely night. I nearly didn’t go because I was tired from work and then, next thing I knew, they were shutting it down.
I’m not too old to stay out past 9! Yayyy

[candy_coated_bitch]

Well wishes and hellos from friends and family. :)

Harlow coming up to me while we were outside. She's been complaining all day and she said "mommy hold me" She doesn't do that often anymore. So I of course picked her up and she instantly snuggled in and went to sleep on my shoulder. We were out on the porch but she slept for a good 45 mins.

She may wipe off my kisses but she still needs me sometimes!

[candy_coated_bitch]

River time and family time!!!

** There is a part of me that agrees.

ME TOO ! but I do think it is important to move around a bit, stretch, bend, take walks, all balanced by decent and proper food intake, etc. I don't believe in jogging (never understood jogging), exercise bikes, gyms, etc.

I did do quite a bit of sports when younger, and still have those muscles in my legs.

Human beings are rather fragile, and one should know one's limits. When younger, we think we are immortal, and sometimes push the body past its limits, causing damage which only comes out much later. So, if I can say anything, it is to listen to your body. When tired, I take naps!

Because of meditation, I have also understood that the brain is just a biological organ as well, and that it can wear out eventually when always being in use, in the exact same way that a motor/engine in a car wears out as well. Like the doctor said, everything wears out eventually. So, having a mind, one contacted the brain and told it not to register anything that wasn't a real need, which it did! That way, I maintain a minimum activity in "brain" activity, which keeps me alert, calm and also helps my body, which usually requires about 7-8 hours' sleep. I think that overactive thinking will kill a person - shorten their life needlessly.

I take a page out of my grandmother's book who lived well into her 90's, that when she ate something which didn't "agree" with her, she just stopped eating it!

Go gentle into that good night! :)

So, I was playin' fetch with Pete today and he has this toy that has a tail curled up the back end of it. If he grabs it the right way, it curls up over the top of his muzzle and "blindfolds" him. He attempts to navigate, but very slowly, back to the start line. Instead, he stands there with a sorrowful plead for help. I smile because now I'm wondering if my dog is into BDSM? lol

My two funny neighbors … I have some of the best conversations with neighbor's when I get home from a long day at work. It's been ages since I had a great set of neighbor's to visit with. Makes all the difference in the world, when you live in a nice neighborhood and your neighbors are simply the best and so darned sweet.

[CherryWine]

My kindergarten teacher (from 34 years ago!) sent me a friend request on Facebook today. Of course, I accepted. Then she sent me the little wavy thing on messenger...lol. She wanted to strike up a conversation, so we chatted for quite a bit.

It truly brightened my day.

:wateringgarden:

[RebelDyke]

The fact that most mornings I leave I take all of Pete's brazillion toys off the bed.....and by the time I come back home...all brazillion are right back on the bed. LMAO. I wonder if he gets annoyed with me doing that... IDK, but it's funny. WHO NEEDS THAT MANY TOYS.....IN BED???? :blink: don't answer that

What made me smile today:

Kisses from sweet happy pit bulls out on a walk.

Secret laughing side eyes at an awkward dinner party.

Pictures of the Llama I adopted for my Mama. She will find out tomorrow.

Oh, I hope you do! Black cats have a rough time in October especially. There are some refuges and shelters that will put an adoption hold on their black cats until after Halloween because of the horrible things stupid people do to them.

[RebelDyke]

some recent email exchanges...kinda made me smile...maybe even laugh a little. I am just amazed how people think sometimes... :goodluck:

Thinking about spending last night having dinner and spending time with my seregate granddaughter and family. She seemed very happy to see me and it was nice to have time playing with her. That always makes me smile.

Not that snow leopard video, unfortunately. That was hard to watch. I can only imagine the pain that poor creature felt with every hit.

What made me smile this morning, though, was my babies. Loki has this thing about climbing between the liner and the tub. He peeks out from the edge of it and thinks he's invisible but 22 pounds of anything is very evident. lol Gracie got up on the bathroom sink and stretched every inch of her tininess to reach inside the mirrored cabinet. She's so small, it was super cute and adorable. She also made sure the towel was properly scented before she jumped down and let me finish brushing my teeth.

Water situation greatly improved. Son brought jugs of water to tide us over till maintenance had a look. At the old place it would have taken weeks to get someone over as water that tests out okay, simply smells/tastes bad isn't considered high priority. Here we didn't have to make a formal request, fill out slips and when we got back a few hours latter were surprised to find the issue had been addressed. Not only that everything they moved had been put back almost exactly as it was when I left. It will still take some time to be completely resolved but at least now, though we're still on bottled water for drinking, I can shower, wash clothes without worrying about water quality.

[Kätzchen]

It's only 55 degrees tonight, and I've got the windows wide open because it's perfect sleeping weather.

And..., I also figured out how to disable the heating unit, because although I never turned it on, it was coming on. Now the heat can't come on and that makes me happy. It's all about keeping the power bill as low as possible.

Cool refreshing air and no heat.

Color me happy ( :) ).

Apparently I had a huge grin on my face...but when i stood in front of her i tried not smiling so big. Her response when I said this is officially my two week notice was something like ..... :blink: except much bigger and with a little sound affect like I stopped someone dead in their tracks... heheheh loved it

Then some of my co-workers announced to me that they look forward to working the weekends because of the fact that I am there. (awe..aint they sweet!?!?!)

Scheer, the Conservative leader, (who also holds dual Canadian-American citizenship), is a devout catholic, and was asked if he was a member of Opus Dei, the right-wing branch of the catholic church. He refused to answer, and talked about how he respected all religious groups... Back in 2005, Scheer spoke against gay marriage! (grumbles slightly towards Scheer) Well, a Canadian humorist from the comedy show "22 minutes", asked him: "Will you do the right thing?" ... i.e. for Canada... "Will you renounce your Canadian citizenship?” I smiled :)

Am presently watching a lot of CBC news 'cause of the upcoming election here in Canada; our official English-language debate happens today. In a way, it's a break from all the corruption news going on south of the border.

Acquaintances are voting for the Green Party. Unlike the States, we have quite a few parties in this election, the major being: Liberal (similar to Dems in the States - led by Trudeau), Conservatives (similar to the Republicans), NDP (social democracy - if Sanders was Canadian, he would most likely be PM of Canada from that party), Green Party, Bloc Québécois, People's Party of Canada. All the leaders of these parties will be in the debate).

I wish I was 50 years younger and could participate in the Extinction Rebellion protests going on across Canada today. Oh, well, smiling at the youthful energy of those protesters, while I am stuck inside recuperating from the flu. :)

Orthopedic surgeons are generally pretty good sorts. Have known many from both sides, as a patient and a nurse. Surprised one did something that you feel unneeded, and they obviously felt was necessary.

Sorry that you had such a negative experience.

[RebelDyke]

All the support from faculty regarding my placement for practicum and internship.... sigh. While I am completely feeling the pressure... it is a really awesome opportunity. It will mean a huge pay raise...more that most of the university teachers with PhDs...but I have waited long enough..

Insert:YoDh_gHDvkk

[RebelDyke]

So, as student teachers we need several faculty to observe us. I recently asked one of out new Educational Psychology teachers to review me.

The day she came in the topic was conditioning. Actually, it was the second half to it....operant conditioning. I needed a class activity to drive it home and i say it in a video the night before. (Big bang theory when sheldon starts to condition penny with chocolate)

I wanted to ensure I had an engaged class..so I began asking small questions and whoever answered would automatically get a piece of candy whether the answer was right or wrong.. I was conditioning for responsive students. The poor teacher did not know WHAT was going on...

After the 5th slide in to the lecture one of my front row students blurt out....were you just conditioning us? hahah they are smart as whips they are...

The class continues.. the teacher observer looks all confused about the class so later in the week I make it a point to touch base with her for fear of a bad review.. Once i told her it was an activity to get them to remember about conditioning and operant conditioning...she laughed her a$$ off and used my story to talk about GTA's on a later "tour for new students" who all laughed as well.

shrugs.. sorry students... not sorry.. because it made you remember about operant conditioning! HAHAHAHAHA

I sanded and painted a garage door today. The smiles came when my nephew wanted to help. He got very serious when I let him use the sander. He looked like a professional (butt crack and all). :)

What made me smile today? My sister sent a video from their home security system of bears around her house!! At only 8:30 p.m.!! I was there just a few weeks ago in the hot tub, right there, right where a mama bear and her three babies lumbered by, sniffing everything. Smiling and shrieking nervously, does that count? And I smiled at something a friend said on the phone. She makes me not just smile but laugh.

[Chad]

Yesterday. My natural healer (physical therapist) took my shoulder pain away long enough for me to raise my arm 190 degrees which is the full reach. I smiled through the pain and he just smiled and clapped. Trust me raising my arm is very painful so this was a big deal.

:cowboy:
