Mailing out all my Christmas cards! Last year I filled them out but somewhere in a blonde haze didn't mail them. So, joy to the world and fa la la la la ...

having my neighbors reinforce the fact that I aint crazy and crime has been happening in our complex
|
Let me set the scene here a little. Last night we realized we where out of milk and decided not to run out and buy any because it was late.
This morning we get up and my girl goes into the kitchen and within a minute I hear the sound of cereal being poured into a bowl. I'm sitting on the john thinking what is she doing? I wonder what she is going to pour on her cereal or maybe she is going to just eat it dry. Well I quickly got my answer as I heard a quiet and sad awww come from the kitchen. By the time I walked back into the bedroom she was walking back in with the cutest little pouty face saying that we have no milk. Of course I couldn't help but laugh. She was just too cute and funny at the same time. That's why I love her. |
The Christmas spirit....I haz it!
:thumbsup: :flasher: |
Flipping the switch on the new recessed lighting I installed in the kitchen! :thumbsup:
Hearing the Hippopotamus song on the radio! :cheesy: Getting the oil changed in my truck! :D Pushing a PINK bicycle all the way from the back corner of Walmart to the checkout counter while all the other customers just smiled at me! :giggle: Having vegan beef stroganoff for dinner! :eating: |
I did. I'm pretty okay some days. :trampoline:

today I had the wonderful opportunity to go with my daughter to the doctors .
She had an ultrasound and I was able to see that little being that is growing up in there..... the baby has measured in utero at about 3 1/2 pounds....delivery date is supposed to be around march 9th....oh its a girl she flashed us a few times ............................it brought me great joy to see little Thoreau Jr. moving around and see her well developed heart beating. I can hardly wait till delivery day! I get to hold her first and introduce her to her mommy just that thought brings joy to my heart....today is a rather bittersweet day for our family....today is Lora's birthday (my daughter)...she died of AIDS on Dec 1, 2002 when she was 12.....she would be 21 today.... |
Spinach smoothie made with v8 juice...delicious and tangy!

I woke up this morning with one kitty laying on my chest, one kitty laying on my legs and one kitty laying on the pillow beside my head and they were all out sound asleep.
It was just a really cute thing and made me laugh -RNguy |

Today has been a MOST joyous day!!!!
First, I saw many, many folks that I've been thinking about and got the chance to wish them a happy holiday. Then, I talked with my honey, which almost always makes my day light and joyous. And then, my bank GAVE me money!!!!!!! Yes, oh yes, they did! Okay, well it could be deemed a cancellation of a couple of fees, but they gave it BACK to me (which evens out, but STILL!). My bank gave me money today! :giggle: Finally, my boss and I called around and worked out where we'll be getting our Christmas chow from tomorrow night. I think I may surprise him with some leftovers from lunch too, maybe. Today's been a GREAT day and...........I GET TO OPEN PRESSIES WHEN I GET HOME!!!!!! :bluesbrothers: |
ever just have something simple like hot chocolate with a good ol' movie?
|
My sister n law calling me with my brother to wish me a Merry Christmas :) They are at my aopted parents seeing my brothers sons my nephews. WOW Another sweet call from an awesome femme. :) And this White Christmas Dallas/Fort Worth is having
|

What is bringing me joy at this very moment:
I get off of work in an hour and get to call my honey and open my pressie! I'm STILL smiling from memories long ago, but fresh as a daisy in my mind. Imagining a friend looking like this ---> :tiredcomputer: I'm at a very good place today, in every way. I feel as if the Universe and those inside SEE me today. Being seen and heard. Very powerful and very soothing. Making plans for tomorrow. Knowing that, even when I don't feel it, that I am loved. Feeling it! :awww: |
Snow!!!
I can't believe it snowed today ... it never snows here! It was so cute watching my dogs running and playing in it. And I got to wear a hat and scarf while taking a walk, which it a big deal here in Texas. It's hardly ever cold enough for winter accessories. My Rat Pack Christmas cd. Hot chocolate with whipped cream. My quiet, peaceful, uncomplicated life ... even if it is rather solitary at times. |
Waking up in a house full of love and joy, even if it's not "officially" my family.

A Minolta camera

JOY!
Watching my toddler nephews just going to town and ripping the shreds out of the christmas wrappers.
Forget the toys, just get them the wrapping papers!!!!!!! Love it!!! -RNguy |

On this Chirstmas day, turning on my computer and finding all the emails from ones that warm my heart.
:xmascandle: |
This peaceful moment ! Finally !!! I am in my bedroom and getting ready to catch me a cat nap :) ..... We start celebrate Christmas on the Christmas Eve with a five course meal .... I have been cooking since yesterday morning , running and being the hostess of mostest ..... they are tired too with a ful bellies so I am hiding my pillow . :)
|
Now, I won't lie. The presents I have received have been wonderful! However, it's the events....the people.....the atmosphere and crackle of something special in the air that has brought my joy meter to the very tippy top. Those near and far have touched my heart today and for days to come. I feel very blessed.

My best friend's little boy who is a year old got to open his Christmas presents today and he was having more fun opening them than playing with his toys.

Waking up this morning to my oldest niece and nephew at my best friend's house. That was one Christmas wish I was granted.
An early Christmas present from a dear friend and my family and friends. My life is truly blessed and my Christmas couldn't be any better. |
Waking up this Christmas morning with my angel. Getting up and the two of us preparing gingerbread pancakes and maple sausage, then calling the kiddo to come over for breakfast.
That was followed by the three of us opening our presents. Such a sweet and precious morning for us to share. The first Christmas of many, shared together. Shi is my life and my love. Shi brings me such joy. WT |
Talking with two of my besties from high school. One i haven't talked to in a few years and the other almost 10 years. :cheer: :happyjump:

Quiet in my house ..... It's ME time and I am planing to enjoy it to a full extend . :clap:

I'm exploring how forgiveness can make more room for joy in my life. This is bringing me TONS of joy because I find that I have a lot of things and people to forgive in my life...starting with myself.

It's called, Forgive and forget. Healing the hurts we don't deserve. By Lewis B. Smedes. There are points in the book that are a little "God geared". If that's not a manner of thinking for you, I know you're a smart cookie and can apply the words to yourself in a manner that is. Anyway, It helped me. I would offer to send it to you but, I loaned it out and never got it back. (yes I have forgiven them! lol.) Peace to you in your journey. |
knowing that I am loved, eating a bunch of goodies from my gift basket,
enjoying a hot cup of coffee, knowing the cabin is coming along, bright blue skies, a cat that loves his cube, a life that has balance, and a tremendous desire to continue saving $ for another mountain trip. |
* That Christmas is over for another year.
* That I'm going to be in sunny Cali in one week and two hours. * That I'm staying there 8 days ... on the company dime. * That I will get to spend time with some of my friends in the LA area. |
My cousins from San Antonio, my cousin from Memphis, and my cousin and his son from Bastrop. We had Christmas dinner tonight.
|
Making it home after a rainy, windy flight.
Being nuzzled and snuggled by my tailless wonder-cat. :cheer: |
That a family member did not have to be in emergency for hours & seems to be ok.
|
thank goodness
