My Christmas present from Tee!! A beautiful necklace with a bear. I love it!! *BIG Smiles.
|
dinner date with a cute butch in downtown chico.burgers and brew..then coming home and making some cookies to share tomorrow night
|
Being sent a completely unexpected gift. The present itself was very lovely and thoughtful. The fact that the sender "got" who I was made it all the more extra special.
May we all experience some holiday magic that leaves our eyes as bright and shining as a child on Christmas morning. "Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first or last time." Katniss~~ (thankful for friends, old and new...) :smileyXmasTree: |
made me freakin' day...

2013........
|
some great conversation. :)
|
coming home this morning dead tired took the dogs out to potty and let them run in the snow then watching my Phoebe jump and runn around burrowing her nose and head in the snow almost like she was tunneling to me and leaping in my arms to give me kisses before going back to play with Gracie
|
Completely misjudged my dog's motives today... I thought she was lobbying to eat early (by mushing up close, all doe-eyed, and giving me kisses) -- but when she settled in position in the crook of my arm, facing belly and toes outward, her head soon drooped and she had fallen asleep! Of course, I imagine that my gently massaging her smooth belly throughout the snuggling up didn't hurt one bit!
:dog: |
An early Christmas present from my daddy bear....
He got me baby elephants! Crystal ones...but still :) My little Cricket...snuggling her face against my leg to get closer...then she gets JUST THE RIGHT SPOT and sighs contentedly and relaxes....touches my heart every time... My mother not wanting to admit that she wants me to go with her to our friend's services....She's a tough nut to crack that mother o' mine.... Knowing...with all the bad that exists in the world, there still is SO much more good... :moonstars: |
In addition to everything else that has me smiling these days...tomorrow is Christmas and although my planned trip to the mountains fell apart when my boss decided to only close the office on Christmas Day...tomorrow is Christmas and the magic therein makes me smile!!!!

Sitting here with my laptop on my back deck to just now look up and see it snowing.

Going through my modules & textbooks for next semester.
Also looking through my grades for my first semester . After what felt like a long Clinical week, along with studying for exams, i came out with a 93% overall average for all six courses. i'm tickled & really proud of myself. i've had so much support, love & encouragement, and this semester came with many challenges but i've climbed over every hurdle that came my way. And i *do* have a small tendency to be hard on myself, but i overcame even my own inner stuff. ♥ (now THAT is something to be proud of) |
|
Smiling and laughing with BPG!!! Wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
|
Closing the office early today!!!
|
A Christmas angel in my pocket...making me smile
|
Being let off work early :)

When Oliver was a kitten, he climbed right up into the Christmas tree and peeked out from his hideout at me, and I snapped a photo of him...
Today, despite the fact that he now resembles a penguin (round teardrop body and tiny head w/a tuxedo suit), he still dove right into the currently unadorned (until our ornaments arrive, for our 2nd Christmas/Birthday week) pre-lit tree and then sat among the branches at the bottom looking forlorn... Sad little penguin...He's still adorable, my Christmas kitty. |
a christmas feast lunch, complete wit' home-made trifle. i'ma still full as...

I am sitting in my living room looking at the lights on my Christmas tree, writing this on my new iPad, while she is fast asleep in bed.
I am looking forward to 2013 with happiness and hope in my heart, reflecting on all that is good in my life. That makes me smile. Merry Christmas to all Planet residents and visitors. :xmascandle: |

What didn't make me smile today! It was a perfect day. Beautiful holiday with my precious angels, perfect yummy dinner in courses ...first, artisan olive bread w/ dipping sauce & cheese cubes - then, delicious Xmas salad which is just a romaine salad w/ cranberries and walnuts, Italian dressing - then, an awesome pesto basil pasta entree that was to die for - and lastly, pumpkin cheesecake. Drinks of amaretto and cranberry spritzers, a rum shot here and there = ) fun gift opening, so much laughter and to top everything off.... it ❆snowed. Mhmmmm magical Christmas snow everywhere! It's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! We were out playing in it having so much fun. I could not be any happier than I am right now.
Love. |
Christmas gifts of course. For years I have told anyone who asks, I don't need a thing...my family has gotten really practical in gifting. Their creativity shocks me and it seems they alway come up with something that is exactly what I needed.
This year someone gave me a journal. I haven't kept a journal in years. I should have so I can look back and see how far I've come and how far I have yet to go. So with that one gift I have been inspired to begin writing again and embrace the journey. Which I should have been doing all along. It's the little things that make me smile...... |
A very Merry Christmas, with my Baby and her family in Maryland, via Skype.

Watching the 4, 6 and 13yr olds opening prezzies.
How much Sue and Granddad enjoyed me singing/playing for them. Getting through the day without once wanting to drink alcohol. :cheesy: |
|
IMing on Yahoo with and old friend and getting reacquainted
|
Spending the day with my girl as she did everything she could to make me feel not so alone on this Christmas day. Thank you for each smile you put on my face today. (f)
|
Giving the baked goods I have prepared over the last month, unexpected gifts from others, spending quality time with family, and the comfort of knowing I am living independently, feel very complete, and do not need someone else to help me to feel competent, happy, and valuable. I am blessed and for that reason I smile.

My dad and stepmonster showed up about lunchtime. Luckily, I had about 10 gallons of fire roasted chili on hand that I made last night. It was odd. They handed me a card with 135 dollar gift cards from random restaurants and a 50 dollar bill. I then offered them chili and cake balls. It felt like a scene from napolean dynamite. He ended up banging around on my piano and we sang for several hours. I gave them a painting upon departure. The step said...we have no place to hang it. I told her I could give it to someone else then. She said no. I said OK. My dad then asked me to record some tracks. I said OK. This day was so weird. It makes me smile.
