Looking at my schedule book (as I do way too often) and seeing where I've been, what's soon coming, and where I'm going all laid out infront of me...

and a pen in hand....I think it offers that tangible control factor....and I like it :D

The most beautiful tall blonde I have ever seen buying beer and wings in line in front of me.... I was too chicken to say anything but WOWZA should have bought her a beer just for making me smile lol

texts from an old friend.

Riding to uni on my new bike which, admittedly, was only just a little further than 'round the block'. She's just so nimble and responsive and when I get mudguards, small toe clips and a saddle that's not a razor edge she will be absolutely perfect.

My honey, as she always does, and knowing that My appointment tomorrow with the psychiatrist could determine whether or not I have top surgery in the future :-)

CNN Anchor Don Lemon revealed that he's gay. WooHoo!

Coming home from 2 job interviews, talking it over with Miss Pinky,and accepting a job,as of June 1, as a PTA. Hugging Miss Pink and saying in her ear...."baby, I got a JOB!" Made me smile BIG because it's been a long hard road and she has walked every step of it right beside me!!! Life is GOOD!!

I'm still smiling!!!!!! And oh, so proud of my Papa!!!!

Telling it like it is.

:phonegab:

My Beautiful giving me a haircut out in the backyard...it turned out much better than I thought and she did a hella great job......who knew baby????? lololol

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I just got my grades and I got A's in ALL OF MY CLASSES:) The BEST birthday present EVER!!

2 birdies in one basket!! ....

I got to work today to find the ceiling was leaking MUCH worse than it has over the past 3 months.... the Nurses convinced me that my boss would be okay with me packing up and working from home.... my boss later called; advised me that she is okay with it until they fix the roof (that may be 3 more months!!! YAYYYY!!!) ....

anyway.... I get home to find the carpenters working on the kitchen floor and the "junk guys" hauling off the scrap metal....

I'm not comfortable around strangers and tried to settle in so I could get to work.... what made me smile was my interactions with each one of the so called "strangers" that were helping us out.... they treated me with TOTAL respect, honor and dignity. I could feel that they were completely trustworthy and that I didn't need to be nervous around them. They displayed some wonderful, civilized manners that I don't see very often any more from total strangers.

Since I've been ripped off several times by repair-persons, I'm very leery.... today, my faith was renewed and my day ended with feeling the awesome feeling of being respected.

I don't want to say or equate it to "Southern Manners or Southern Hospitality" because someone might misinterpret my meaning.... but given that I have lived above and below the Mason Dixon Line.... I can speak to my life experiences.... I have felt a difference. "Down here", I have felt that people are more friendly, more neighborly, more respectful at times, and more helpful when their neighbors need a hand.... I have nothing negative to say about the people I knew from my "city life up North"; I just think they get too busy with their own lives and don't stop to think that a little respect goes a long way (I get astonished that people in the North and South hardly ever say "excuse me" or "pardon me" any more.) Manners and Respect are admirable qualities; no matter what corner of the world you are from.

It's touching how people you take the time to get to know all pull together to help out when you need it, I've now got more friends on the hunt for a cooker so I can cook when I move into my own place.
Above all else, my wonderful family make me smile each and every day! They've done everything for me and with their help, it's all one step closer to me, one day very soon, sleeping in my own bedroom ...:seeingstars:

The Cisneros who won 296 million lottery, are starting a scholarship fund in the town they are from and the school they graduated from. Pico Rivera's deeply rich Latino community will now have better opportunities to get their kids into college.

Mud puddles, frogs, wet-smelly dogs, 2 birdies in my basket and one on the new birdie feeder, yummy fresh ripe cantaloupe for breakfast, strawberry icecream for a midnight snack, a quiet day working from home, kona coffee with vanilla creamer, finding a car-pooling ride for a 3 hour trip to Raleigh for our big meeting on Thursday, and peaceful thoughts.....

A friend texting me about a possible freelance job!
