Finally getting my emerald (after they mounted in the incorrect setting and having to wait for them to fix it)
This was cut from a raw stone...having to wait to see how it turned out was like waiting for my first New Year's kiss!!
I'm not much into material things...but this emerald is so fun because I'm the one that found the raw stone at the gem mine! An experience I hope to enjoy again one day.

A great conversation with a dear friend!

Me too! It was great to reconnect.playing catch up is always good.

Another great win by the Patriots!! :)

A dear friend...priceless

also that Kitten thread

Receiving a compliment on my outfit from a complete stranger.

Talking with My girl today. She makes Me laugh.

A patchwork heart. :)

My kitten little!

She started on antibiotics for her respiratory issue and eye cream for her eye gunk (a VERY technical medical term) and she is full of piss and vinegar today!!

She has been playing since 430 this morning and has JUST NOW stopped to rest. I had no idea how poorly she was feeling previously. She was playing quite a bit but this...is amazing lol And so fun to see!!

My precious Princess Potbelly is on the mend!

Now just need to worm her and find something for fleas that won't harm her lil kitten self :)

Addendum: she is Sooo happy to be feeling well that she is fighting sleep...and not winning!!

a picture I saw on facebook about Christmas time versus jan-spring. It still has me cracking up

Good morning texts, and team work where a big job is divided and delegated as I took it upon myself to print and alphabetize paperwork for twenty four residents and working to get them all signed today. Two people on vacation and no one started it last night so I figured I would do it all. Makes the boss happy, so why not?

Having running water in my kitchen made my day!

My supervisor and I have been working in his office straightening out some bad data in production all afternoon. This is very tedious work. We got wild joking around. I smile knowing we have the same style of humor. It makes this type work go so much easier. Great to be on the same wavelength with someone I work so closely with. We have one more station to correct. Tomorrow is Friday so we'll close his office door, crank up some hard rock and party down on good candy as we plow through this last one.

Happy Thursday evening to everyone!
:)

Looking at the Shoe Thread made me grin.... all of those sexy shoes, especially the ones with feet in them. http://i1.ifrm.com/14079/88/emo/eyebrows.gif

I used this on my cats when we had bad flea issues in FL.

Anything that bites them DIES and it doesn't hurt the little ones.

Capstar

The realization that in FIVE days I'll be home in time to have Thanksgiving dinner ON the actual day of Thanksgiving with my wife.

Haven't been able to do that in more than three years.

Also a pic sent to my phone of a "scary monster with glowing eyes" behind one of our furbabies who was hamming for the camera.


Smiling Big Time,
Brute.

A visit with my sister and the new foster kid. So love him!
I think he'll be with us through Christmas. Can't wait to watch him open presents! !

They were getting ready to leave and we had said our goodbyes, my sister was bundling the little fella up and we laughed that he reminded us of the little brother from a Christmas Story ("I can't put my arms down")
She finally stood up from getting him dressed and he goes "I gotta pee"

Hahaha
