What made me smile today? Thinking about getting to spend the night with her Friday night. I've been thinking about her all day today and I can't get her out of my head

funkyfemme · 12-18-2011, 06:06 PM

The fact that I'm going back to GA on the 29th. Had a great time here in the DC area and made some new friends. Time to try something new now (going back to my gypsy ways lol). I have an invite from a friend near Orlando to come and stay and look for work there. So after the first of the year I will be in FL. Did I mention that it's a LOT warmer in FL than here in DC this time of year??

Oh yeah, and hoping to meet up with some BFP peeps in Januray sometime.

No honey it is a Fluer de lis not a curtain rod end. Black and gold looks richer than purple and white. We also have Drew Brees. Geaux Saints.

Listening to Jack play "plumber by phone" with one of her buddies. He's a good man-cub and was overjoyed to have hot water before Christmas.

tonaderspeisung · 12-18-2011, 08:27 PM

today i was at the big box electronic store (fry's) shopping for a holiday gift for the pops.
the store was a hustle and bustle of holiday shoppers and as i snaked my way through the isles, desperately hoping for some gift inspiration, i stumbled upon a most curious scene.

i had resigned myself to fry's defeat; nothing would be bought here today.
i started my loop back and that's when i saw it; an extravaganza, 92 inches of high definition and full bose surround sound.
was it the siren's call of adele - live at the royal albert hall or the gravitational pull of the enormous screen? i can't say but i was reeled in.

then my real life christmas movie moment occurred.

i found myself mesmerized watching adele singing chasing pavements and a couple other tunes in "stunning color and clarity" and before i knew it; in front of the display a group of 20 people (give or take) had gathered. adele, bigger than life, dwarfed us all and serenaded the crowd with her smash hit - someone like you.
when adele handed the chorus over to her on-screen fans the store crowd joined in the chorus and sang along too.

i looked around and noticed an even larger crowd was gathered watching the smaller crowd who were now the chorus for the adele performance.
i imagined that the security office was watching the crowd, who was watching the smaller crowd, who were watching the original performance, like some big infinity mirror illusion.
the second chorus started and the onlooker next to me raised her phone to capture the scene. a sales rep right behind us placed his hand on her shoulder and said "don't ruin the moment."
my onlooking neighbor lowered her phone and i noticed that much of the larger crowd had joined in on the chorus sing along too.

it really was like the grand finale of a family holiday movie where the whole cast of characters come together and sing.
the crowd was swaying and everything.

as the song ended and the crowd on-screen applauded, so did the store crowd.
many stayed for the next song, i splintered off and headed for the door.

i suppose i'm a bit of a rube for getting caught up in what i now suspect was an elaborate sales ploy and it worked; i ended up spending 10 minutes in line for a small flash drive that my pops will never use and i really don't need, but $4 + tax seems like a fair price for a good story and i guess i did smile.

RockOn · 12-18-2011, 11:10 PM

A week ago from yesterday (Saturday DEC 10th) I took a 50 lb bag of Purina Dog Chow to our local Humane Shelter. I do that sometimes. I noticed there was a very small two year old female Jack Russell mix hiding in the back of her cage. She was so sad looking. I opened her cage and I know I saw a tear under her eye. I asked an employee about her. He told me Jill's heart is broken and that she misses her family. She has been there over two months. I stayed with her awhile, went back the next day, took milk bones and treats to her. We went outside and walked. She began to warm up to me.I took photos of her and have been trying to find her a home.

I would have brought Jill home but knew my mix bullies would have hurt her - they play so rough. I went 3 days last week to visit on my lunch hour. Bought her a 2 pack of Purina Busy Bones for todays visit.When I arrived, a very nice family had Jill out of her cage - they were petting her. Then they took her outside on a lease. I knew they were going to adopt her.

RockOn · 12-18-2011, 11:25 PM

I played with Jill, talked to the family. She loved her Busy Bone.

The family started inside to fill out her adoption papers. I scooped Jill up one last time, told her what a good girl she is and that I loved her.

I was smiling as I walked to my truck ... hoping no one saw the tear under my eye.

Sassy · 12-18-2011, 11:30 PM

Not necessarily today, but a few days back...

As I stood at the dresser poking about in my jewelry box pondering whether peace signs or pink glitter would adorn my ears, I saw in the corner of my eye my 10-year-old arthritic and blind mini doxie wander into my dressing room where I've been stashing all the holiday loot yet to be wrapped. Quietly poking about like a professional sleuth she sniffed out the bag that contains the bulk of her holiday prizes. I didn't say a word just watched with a smile, trying on earrings and pretending not to notice. Sure 'nuff I saw the tail give a short wag and then the ears perk up. She tilted her head this way and that, even looking o'er her doggy shoulder to peer my way with her brown eyes that don't see so well. Then eased in close and tugged at the tail of a squeaky toy, ever so gently. I could almost hear her canine musings: *I wonder if Santa Paws came early, 'cause I know this is meant for me. Maybe Mom won't notice if I just.... * Oh so cute! Of course, it's not yet the time for opening the presents, so I had to give a "tsk, tsk" and shoo her out of the room. But like a kid, she couldn't stand it, whenever my back was turned she went right back in the room and tried to find "her" bag of loot. I ended up hiding everything in the closet behind closed doors. I can't wait for Christmas. I love my li'l hound dog. And she gets so excited over opening presents. Her health has been fragile the past few years and it's reminded me she's no pup. So I'll treasure every tail wag and hound-dog howl that I get this season and if I'm lucky my Christmas present next year will be that she's still here with me to open presents on Christmas morning.
