Laughing at the pictures my buddy and I took last night. We were able to hang out WITHOUT her wife! Yay!

Going to Golden Gate Park, and hanging out in the Botanical Garden, for four hours.

A damn good lunch

Chad and I planning our next vacation. I'm so excited.

Hi,

I am smiling about our upcoming trip.

AND

I just spent 3 days on beautiful Texas beaches looking at aqua colored water and solving problems for coastal communities. I love my job! :)

Chad

Getting a nice phone call while I was in class today.

one of the best hikes ive had in a long time...in a new and interesting place....with much fodder for the imagination...and plenty of trails to traverse another day.... :)

My book about secret doors, hidden passageways and other cool stuff you can build into your home. Been looking at plans and photos from another resource that a mechanical engineer produced. It is all so interesting to me ... when reading it or thinking up stuff related to it, my mind is reeling about endless possibilities and I am smiling so BIG.

see there, see there --->>> :) <<<--- looks just like me, doesn't it?

all during today's thunderstorm ...
 

A huge bull frog singing and croaking on the porch all morning ..

a fancy neat box turtle looking as if to say "hey!! Who flooded my mud puddle !!?"

The rain soaking the garden just in time to help the new beans...

My roommate calling me from the drive lane to say "stay in the house till this big rain passes, then we can leave"... my response "it's been raining like this for 2 hours. I don't think its moving through fast ." I chuckled because he's either looking out for me or he just didn't wanna get wet.

Once in town with it still pouring rain...he stops at store, gives me money and says "go pay my bill for me"... I laugh and say " You're making me do this because I'm the only one with a rain coat!"... his response "something like that".

Blessed....
 

At the salon waiting for my turn, a tiny one month old baby boy loudly requiring attention, his mommy in mid nails, mortified as well as the rest of the patrons--and I volunteered to hold him while she finished up and she accepted! He is such a sweetie, as I softly spoke to him he smiled up at me and even cooed...! He is such a beautiful tiny baby how could I not smile? It also made me smile, knowing I was helping him and his momma. She thanked me afterward and that made me smile too...

A co worker had a dream I was pregnant...anyone who knows me knows why I would smile :)

Messages with people that I miss. People being nice....should be commonplace but hasn't been

Seeing a new born fawn in my back yard. :)

readings of Emily Dickinson's love poems....in her yard....on her brother's front steps....and by her grave....

meeting a scholar of her works who suggested some reading for me

lilacs on the common..... :)

A much needed phone call.

yiipppiieeeee!
 

Constant smile on my face, can't help it!

So....another date 2 days ago......and already we will see each other on Sunday! I can't wait! Although our schedules are different, we are doing what we can to see each other almost weekly. She is really a sweetie pie! Still waiting for that first kiss, taking our time........hmmmmm..... And another date planned for this coming Saturday, I am feeling like margaritas are in order here!! :fan: its starting to heat up in here!

Taking my shoes off after a long day at work. Mac and cheese bites. Watching my cats go nuts for the catnip ball they forgot they had.

waking up to a sweet text..... :)

yesterday i found out i am going to arkansas for a week and getting paid for it!

today i came home and the back yard was mowed and dinner of roast and potatoes and carrots made the house smell amazing! and it tasted even better!

life is good :)

my son's 5th grade graduation.

not sure anyone else will find this funny
 

A fb friend of mine told me this funny story. I guess (don't ask why) she is fb friends with Patti Davis (Nancy and Ronnie's daughter) whose dog is sick. This friend got Patti Davis mixed up with me and started to give her condolences saying she is so sorry that her dog is sick now right after her cat died (my cat died last week). So she says that Patti Davis never responded to her (duh) but every one on Patti Davis' fb page started to give her condolensces on her cat's (my cat's death). I don't know this just tickled my funny bone. One, who friends Patti Davis and two, that we were mixed up etc. Now it doesn't sound so funny but it made myself and a co-worker laugh out loud. hahaa

Sushi buffet with one of my good friends! *full*

I went for a hike after work.... :)

At long last I have figured out what a butternut tree looks like :)

while looking at said butternut tree...I saw a small red bird in the top branches...when I grabbed my binoculars, I saw it was a scarlet tananger....a bird I have longed to see since childhood.... :)

being OUT of work mode
planning our FIRST trip together this weekend
getting the internet fixed at the girls house
but the number 1 reason Im smiling is her being here with me and having THAT look and smile that I cant resist

fun with extensions
 

I'm doing a coworker's hair for a wedding Saturday. At lunch today we went to Sallys Beauty and picked out some extensions. After work, I plopped that faux hair on her head and whipped up a do that ended up looking like Elsa from Frozen. Apparently this is exactly what she wanted.
Much squealing, posing in the mirror and fingering of the braid draped over her shoulder commenced.

Makes me smile when I make my girls happy :praying:

Having sourdough bread and butter.

A couple of things that all connected.

My sweetie came back from 6-days in Portland visiting her butch bud last night and we had a wonderful welcome home "party" and

I was sitting at a light while driving to work this AM, smiling a lot to myself, thinking about it and

I looked to my right and an older man was smiling back at me and gave me a thumbs up.

Made me laugh out loud.
