Some really wonderful messages through out the day. The beautiful pictures sent gives me a lot to look forward to seeing.

Life is exactly what you make it. That makes me smile.

coming home to Pearl...she is sooooo sweet and i love how she wiggles her whole butt when she wags her tail......she is one of the best parts of my life.

Getting a text from a friend I havent seen for awhile.
Dinner plans.
Coming home to a clean house and people who love me.

Smiling...

Fireworks
Giggles

Going to register for next semester. Super excited.

Picking up my pen after a very long vacation. Writing again, makes me feel alive.

actually made me laugh
 

getting hit on by a guy trying to pick me up... flattering.. but.. umm NO..

A surprise gift from the missus...the awesome Sony DSLR camera I'd been drooling over and ogling online spontanteously arrived at our house today!

My co worker gave me a "just because" friend card at the pub today. That really made me smile. When I opened that card, there was a gift certificate for a 1 1/2 massage!

My eyes got water in them.

Been up since 4 in the fuckin' morning...but great meetings with friends, good work meetings, and a rockin' drum circle!

An hour long phone conversation ...

my nephew graduated from 8th grade and will be a high school freshman next year......

this may have also made me weep a little....I was there when he was born....its just surreal that hes nearly a grown man...and refers to himself and his male classmates as such.....but I digress....

Im so super proud of my nephew....he has overcome a lot to achieve this....and I told him college is next! More tears......

So.... what made me smile today...

... ok, well, I was at the grocery store today, sporting my awesome new hair cut, feeling confident... and... walk by a woman, smile, keep going and I hear from behind me.... "Family?" ... it took me just a second to process then, turn and respond... "Yes!"

This made me smile... its the first time... ever... that someone has looked a me and just... asked!

Thinking about kayaking with my baby when she was here last weekend.....

A pretty Hello Kitty cake.

Friends headed to Kansas for my birthday.

A deluxe pedicure and hot pink polish.

The great idea of having a Halloween party :)
