A double rainbow, which was the length of the sky.

Amazingly beautiful

socialjustice_fsu · 07-16-2010, 10:08 PM

look around and compare prices...yes, even on moxing boxes! U-Haul appeared to have all the right sizes...went over to Home Depot - same size boxes and half the price. And, yes, I have loitered at the front and back doors of many a liquer store lately (even in areas where some of the drunks are pissng on the back wall AND near the boxes). Trying to catch those snazzy liquer bottle boxes in the pre-piss status (great for stemware) becomes quite the challenge. Let me tell you, if you aren't there when they pitch them out you might as well give it up because they have already made it to the big box crusher in the sky.
And, yes, when I have completed my move the boxes will be recycled by being given to someone else making a move, too.
As insignificant as it sounds...1/2 price boxes brought me joy today right in the middle of Home Depot.

I had the most amazing day ever, I think I have found my soulmate, though I havent known this person long, I feel we have this connection.

Venus007 · 07-17-2010, 02:16 AM

Last night (actually early this morning) I went on a date the the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see a Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) that is about to bloom in all its stinky glory. We got to walk around the butterfly exhibit (which is a 3 story replica of a rain forest) in the dim light and it was raining inside. It was lovely, dark and intimate, perfect.

Another Day healthy and breathing

Venus007 · 07-17-2010, 04:05 PM

The 2nd day of a 10 day vacation. I am deep cleaning my room today, progress so far. . .
3 boxes emptied broken down and thrown away
1 trash bags of clothes I don't wear in trunk to take to shelter
1 trash bag of misc weird crap for the rubbish bin
3 dead stripped husks of computers in the trunk to take to the recycle place
Stripped out components housed in their new space in my organization shelf with bins
Now on to the great dresser change over of 2010. . . .

My room is starting to emerge from disorganization whoo hooo!

RockOn · 07-17-2010, 08:09 PM

Everything brought me joy today.

First, I took my dog (Kelly) to Pet Smart. Bought her a doggie seatbelt harness. It is the best one I have found, really padded and comfortable for her. We stayed at Pet Smart about an hour and a half. She met many dog friends and human friends. From there, I stopped at Arby's and bought her two Arby's roast beef sandwiches at the drive-thru. Pulled over in a parking space at Arby's, left the air conditioner on wide open while she feasted on her roast beef and drank ice water out of a dish I brought along. Then we went to a park, really nice one. Kelly has not been to that one so everything was so interesting to her. We left and shopped around looking at houses. I want something bigger. There was one in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with a great backyard and plenty of shade. I called and the realtor lived right across the street so he came over and we went inside. I really like the stone floors throughout. The only carpet is located in the bedrooms. In fact, I like everything about it. I really had my mind made up on a brand new one but this one is so spacious, plus the exceptionally grand shady backyard. Kelly made friends with another dog across the back fence. I don't know. I can easily afford the payments but I am not impulsive about things like this. I need to do a whole lot more looking on the weekends.

Met a friend for a very late lunch - I love caesar salad with grilled chicken strips. Nice visit with her. We got caught up. She is so easy to be with and makes me laugh a lot. I enjoy being around people like that. I have never met our Diva here at this site but I bet she is like that.

Late afternoon today ...
I was mowing the lawn, trying to hurry because dark clouds were rolling in. My entire upper body was drenched with sweat. It started raining very hard. I was about to head for the back to house the mower and go indoors. Suddenly I realized how good the rain felt on my sweaty body. I played in the rain today for the first time in ... probably decades. LOL! I cannot descibe how good it felt. I pushed the mower around back and got it out of the rain. Then I opened the back door, Kelly was standing there peering at me as if I had lost my marbles. Then she ran out and played too.

Joyful day! The whole day!

Wait until I start whining about indoor housework tomorrow. I'd rather be outside in the wretched heat digging ditches all day than doing inside work. LOL!

Liam · 07-17-2010, 08:18 PM

The first sunflower bloomed.

AtLast · 07-17-2010, 08:32 PM

Finishing painting my bathroom! Well, 'cept for the trim... but it will be done in the morning! Can't handle all this paint stuff around any more!!

I'm glad I cleaned, primed (with an anti-mold agent) and did 2 coats with a premium paint.. the thought of having to do this again any time soon is just too much!! And thank the Goddesses for Purdy brushes!! ARGH... the livingroom and my bedroom need to be done, but, I don't think my joints (have RA and severe osteoarthritis in my shoulders) can take it on (especially ceilings)! I hate not being able to just do this kind of stuff without a way lotta' pain! OK, saving for someone else to do the other rooms. I did this one, the spare room and the kitchen. LOL.. and oh, have I paid for it with the aches and pains. PHOOEY!!! It has taken me forever just for those completed rooms... But I do feel joy at the job I did, looks darn good!

Oh, and Liam... my bathroom reminds me of sunflowers!!!

GinaSofia · 07-17-2010, 08:50 PM

I got a $165 medication for $67 all because my pharmace gives a AAA discount!!!

Weird huh?

Kätzchen · 07-17-2010, 08:54 PM

Random acts of kindness toward me (i.e., a Thank You card I got in the mail today from someone I shared a class with this past spring), listening to music, a telephone call from my dear friend that's in town for the week and being invited to have supper tonight with them and mutual friends! I had a great day today and I'm feeling the joy!

Gemme · 07-17-2010, 09:16 PM

Sweet puppy faces....being told I was fantastic today by a guest...no SOS calls from work...evil sugary sweetness...watermelon....a demand for cheers....and going to bed early tonight.
