I am happy today because...part II

[Srbo]

OK then...new beginnings.
With the "old" Cantina being closed, Theme Song thread as well...maybe it`s time for a new Happy Thread as well.
So Ms Mod can close the old one.
Like all of you keep saying, and it is really the only thing to do - we have to move forward.
And that`s what John would want and wants from us.

So, here it goes - I was, am and forever will be happy I know all of you.
Was, am and will be happy for knowing John Dalglish.

Happy for reading The Tommyknockers at the moment and for having Sai King in my life...dang, does that guy have the ability of making me laugh.:D

Happy for having my family with me.

And I WILL keep finding happy moments, not matter what.

So, lets go...tell me your happy moment, if you please..:)
Cheers.

We just fixed the toilet, without it blowing up...hey, in MY life-that's cause for fireworks and a damn brass band!!!!!

I am happy today because my house looks like it is supposed to again, all the toys are picked up and put away...at least for the next 20 minutes!

[Out of Order]

My car passed state inspection without it costing me an arm and a leg for a change. Amazing the stuff they "find" each year if you are not on your toes...........:glare:

[Spideyman]

I am happy today because the sun is bringing warmth, all the chores are done and I can spend my afternoon amongst my friends on the SKMB. Life is good and filled with love and green lights.

[mstay]

I'm happy because we got a whole gallon of chocolate milk yesterday! (but now it's almost gone):biggrin2:

[fushingfeef]

Happy to be taking a half-day of work today!

Those 20 minutes were up 20 minutes ago for me and my house!

[Out of Order]

...which is kinda like beer, it's one of the substances the body only "rents"....

This reminds me of an All in the Family quote from one Archie Bunker.........

: "Edith, let me tell you something about beer: You can never buy beer, you can only rent it."

Day off from work, and reading posts that make me laugh. You guys are great! :-)

[CarrieJo]

I am happy that the sun is out today! It's been ridiculously not winter here in da mitten and lately it's just been gray and cold and windy. But today the sun is out and I had to turn the heat off! Hell if we aren't going to have snow we might as well have sun!

[tower-obsession]

I am happy today because I slept in without having to worry about it.

[onlyewe]

I am happy today because I gave myself permission to take a sick day to take care of myself instead of going to work to deal with whatever has piled on my desk since yesterday. This is a luxury I could get used to! I spent time here, drank tea and took a nap - splendid:wink2:

Sometimes we really need to that.

I woke up.
So far, that makes me happy today....

[J.T. Adams]

Alright, Scott, i'll have to try that.

I am happy today because my vehicle is still running and gettting me where I need to go.

[champ1966]

I am happy today because I heard Roger Miller's- King of the Road on the way home and these verses jumped out at me:-

"A third boxcar,a midnight train,

Destination Bangor Maine,

Old worn out suit and shoes,

I don't pay no union dues,......

.......King of the road"


:cool2:

[randallFlaggfan1]

It always makes me happy when I wake up at a decent time (preferably before 10, at the very latest,) and I woke up, wide-eyed, at approx. 8:45 this morning. Yay!

I'm also happy and very thankful for the MB. Without any of you, I really would be lost..

[Debbie913]

I am happy every day that I have this message board to come to. I've been a lot busier lately than I was a couple of months ago so I don't get to spend as much time here. But it is something that I really look forward to each day.

[Gallina]

I am happy today because the weekend is coming!!! Actually it has been only the second day of work after the long Christmas holidays, but these two days are enough to get tired!!! Tomorrow is the celebration of the "old" New Year here, so much has to be done.:rolleyes:

[randallFlaggfan1]

Today is starting to look up. My mind's more at ease, and I'm in the process of working on an important and meaningful writing project.:)


("All things serve the Beam")

[randallFlaggfan1]

I am happy because I seem to be getting over this pesky illness (though not completely!)

Since a certain writing project, I've been thinking about the craft a lot more.:grinning:
Thank you, everyone, for all your support. I love you!



("All things serve the Beam")

[ffgameman]

I happy today because:

- Day one of two days in a row off work
- The (crazy) severe storms gave a good rain/wind show but left us unharmed (3-4 tornadoes in Kentucky in January? Weird!).

[randallFlaggfan1]

I am really looking forward to finishing The Waste Lands later today. Yay, I can't wait!!
And deeper into Black, of course.:)

I apologize, Dustin, didn`t catch that...what is " Black" again? Your writing project?

[randallFlaggfan1]

I apologize, Dustin, didn`t catch that...what is " Black" again? Your writing project?

Oh, I'm sorry, Srbo. I should have been more specific.
Black is the 1st of 4 books in Ted Dekker's Circle series. They're all named after colors, such as Red, White, and Green.

I'm happy today because I'm getting the keys to my new house tomorrow...and I have a week off from work next week =] just have to survive a few more days!

[mstay]

Thank you! :grinning: the part I'm most looking forward to is getting to go shopping in second hand furniture shops instead of pining outside the window...

That sounds like fun! Enjoy your shopping and your new house!

[HelentheCelt]

I'll wait until we move out...then I'll dance enough that the grumpy neighbour's in the flat downstairs complain :wink2: I'm going from a one bed flat to a house with lots of storage space so you can just imagine how much I'm looking forward to filling it up with books!

[J.T. Adams]

I am happy today that I can walk, breathe, read, and live.

If you look on purpose you'll always find some reason to be thankful.

Thanks to holiday pay, an unexpected financial problem isn't as bad as I expected.

And even better, it's the start of my weekend!

[Srbo]

I`m really happy we have David Dalglish posting here.
Make me feel better.
A lot better. :)

[ConstantReader1973]

I am happy today because...

It's Friday, and I'm taking off work early to go home and relax a little. I certainly need it!

[Spideyman]

I'm happy today because the sun is warm and bright and their are so many good friends here on the SKMB.

[Stan_Richards_of_Windsor]

I am happy today because I am closer to reading the DTVII.

That, and only one person has told me off so far. (or tried)

[Cola]

Im happy because: its friday I have a wonderful family and even though Im suffering the worse case of PMT at least I know my hormones are all in working order!!!!

[Gallina]

I am happy today because I am closer to reading the DTVII.

That, and only one person has told me off so far. (or tried)

If it is the first time you will read the DTVII, it would be great to know about your feelings AFTER you read it. I am asking because I remember mine!:)

[Stan_Richards_of_Windsor]

Don't worry, you can definitely expect to hear a grand palaver about it.

[jacobtlong]

Because it looks like I'm going to be getting a nice-paying job soon. The hours will suck, but the pay is supposed to be really good. :y:

Oh, and I'm listening to Amon Amarth. Amon Amarth always makes me happy. Amon Amarth makes me wish I could be transported into olden times where I could totally ride into glorious battle with a sword and shield. 14536

I'm happy today because of all of you, and because David has joined the SKMB, and because it's the weekend. It's raining but we need it, so I'm even happy about that.

[LongTallSally]

I am happy today because...

(hard one today... tough week)

I had the best damn spaghetti for lunch yesterday and I have happy thoughts about how the sauce turned out. That'll work, right?

I am happy today, because in spite of the difficulties you've had in your life, you can still find something to be happy about!!! Go LadyPain! Here's to always seeing the glass half-full!! *raises glass of grape juice in a toast* (hey, it's only 9AM...) :smile2:

[Becks19]

I am happy today because, all of you are happy....Plus, my girls are feeling better "and" they have today off of school. ( gotta love those teacher work days):biggrin2:

[blunthead]

This site must always include a Dalglish, imho. It's raining here, too, and we too need it. Spring will be grand!

[J.T. Adams]

The half-full thread . . . I love it.

I'll be happy just because.

[91rewoT]

I am happy today because, all of you are happy....Plus, my girls are feeling better "and" they have today off of school. ( gotta love those teacher work days):biggrin2:

LOVE those teacher workdays! Since I'm a SPED Assistant, I don't have to do grades or write IEP's or meet with parents...I get to stay home and play with my grandson...so I am happy today!!!

[ConstantReader1973]

I am happy today because this is the third day in a row that I've actually felt GOOD!!! I was finally able to eat some real food over the weekend, and I'm hoping the worst is behind me.

[Mojo*mofo]

Because the fundraiser has left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. :love:

[Spideyman]

I got to visit with my across the road neighbor and she was having one of her good days. Smiles and happiness.

That's great to hear, Angie! I'm happy for you.


I'm especially looking forward to the last 65 pages of Black (oh man, it is INCREDIBLE,) and completely submerging myself in W&G. Woo-hoo!!


("All things serve the Beam")

[BorderCollieMum]

I am happy today because my dogs made me smile ... just like they manage to do every day :)

[Roseasharn]

Because I'm here! :)

[Spideyman]

Because, finally, I can see visible progress in weeding the gardens. There are plants hidden in there!

[randallFlaggfan1]

I am ecstatic because I finished reading Black yesterday, and just couldn't help but proceed with the first four chapters of the next installment, Red.
It's difficult to imagine it topping the former, but from what I've read, I have a good feeling that Dekker will do just that.. and much more.

[Connie Reader]

I am happy today because I'm alive. My Aunt Cyd passed away on Friday, only 54 years old, she was too young to be taken away from us. I miss you Cesidia...you were one of the most direct, no bull**** people I ever knew and I'll strive to be more like you every day.

Please accept my condolences and hugs too!!

[blunthead]

I am happy today because of this group where a person can come and feel safe and share hopes and cares and can always find a shoulder to hug and hug back or to cry on if necessary.

(((((Connie Reader)))))

[Connie Reader]

Thanks Ms Mod. I just can't seem to get away from death this week. My cousin's wife just went to the hospital yesterday bleeding from her ears, eyes and nose, needed to be resuscitated four times and is now in a coma. They found that she has leukemia, a very virulent type. She thought she was pregnant, so she thought the nausea and exhaustion she felt was because of that. They are close to declaring her brain dead, she's been non responsive. I thought 54 was too soon, but Kristen is 28 with two young children. I feel bombarded with all this sudden death, and so sad for my cousin Jesse and their kids. He and Kristen were inseparable, I'm worried for him.

[Moderator]

That's devastating news--so sad for all the lives that will be affected. :down:

[Becks19]

Connie Reader, I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

[Spideyman]

Connie Reader- prayers are being said. Will keep you and family in positive thoughts.

Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic made it to the Australian Open finals again this morning in a thriller match against Scotsmen Andy Murray ( which made me think of John, again).
Hope he defends his title on Sunday against Rafael Nadal!

GO NOLE!!!!!!!!

[cat in a bag]

I am happy that I will be getting a replacement phone--for free, because it was still covered by the warranty! Whoo-hoo! The ringer on it quit working, we have insurance on the phones, but it would have cost me $150, and the phone only cost me $50 to begin with, so I thought that was ridiculous. I have just been making do for months with it on vibrate, because it will not make any sound whatsoever.

So I called this morning to see if I could activate one of my old phones, and found out the current one is still under warranty! I will get the new one soon, it is refurbished, so that gave me a little pause, because the ringer is all that is wrong with this one, but hopefully I will get a good one.

[blunthead]

I'd be happier today if I checked my posts before I actually posted them. I'm be happy... Really.:biggrin2:
I'm be happy today for learning a nice new phrase! :laugh:, and I'm happy for the tolerance of me by others.

I am happy today because we visited some German Shepherd puppies and it looks like we will bringing home one of them in a couple of weeks when he is old enough. All 3 are males and they look so much alike, the owner had me paint 2 of his toenails pink to distinguish him from his brothers. :laugh:


That is so wonderful! I had a shepard growing up and she had 8 puppies when I was 11, it was the best summer of my childhood raising those sweet little pups. Congratulation on your new bundle of furry joy! <3

Yay! I remember how excited we were to bring our wee little Rottie home a couple months ago! We had to put a girl collar on him to tell him apart because that's all the breeder had. Pink with grey polka dots!

I'm happy today because it's 40+ degrees out and sunny! It just feels good to have it not snowing or raining. Plus it smells good outside.

[JellybeanJay]

I am happy today because the sun is shining and it is finally above 0! Great snowman weather!

That's wonderful, such a special moment!

[Kim L.]

Because my wonderful boss, who was badly injured several months, has returned to work! Part-time at first, but just knowing she's here makes me so happy.

That's great, CC! I'm happy for the two of you!!



I'm happy to be feeling better, and more like myself today!!

[LongTallSally]

I am happy today because of pot. Been feelin' a little green around the gills and I'm starting to feel better now.

[Sundrop]

I'm happy because I have a really good shot at a freelance embroidery designing gig. I do artwork in my free time.
The best part of it is that the job is with my ex husband's top competitor..... :biggrin2:
The ex decided that I didn't need to do the art for his company after Christmas this year.... I sent emails to his 3 competitors, and two of them are interested.

[Moderator]

:biggrin2: Good luck--keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[Spideyman]

Way to go, Sundrop. Positive vibes and green lights!!

[blunthead]

I am happy today because I haven't chopped off my foot or any toes! Yay! Got home from the store with stew meat and onions and veggies (oh, that reminds me, I forgot to put the baby carrots in the crock pot), hadda get a stew going so 10 hrs from then I get supper, slinging and cutting up the meat in my tee-ninesie kitchen which has dying lilywhites and amarylises and old mail and grabbed a towel which flipped my Cutco knife--you know, "the sharpest knives in the world", those--into the air and to the floor and not before winking hello to my left foot.

Now, don't get excited, I bled profusely for only as long as it takes to finish chopping the onions and starting and finishing doing so to the tomatoes, and adding the garlic and pressing the wound periodically, knowing the clotting cells would eventially take over, though delayed by the asprin and the Plavix. This is why we save the Bactroban and in worser-case scenarios the antibiotics which we were supposed to complete, but you know how nurses are--don't do as I do, do as I say! And I miraculously own a box of the big bandaids, big enough for, like, feet.

Now, for the carrots! Thanx for reminding me!

[Moderator]

:eek2: You use tomatoes in beef stew?! :oo:

Just teasing...be careful there, man! Hope it heals up quickly with no infection. :smile2:

[blunthead]

...tomatoes are a no-no...? Oh. I wasn't aware of that. (Would appreciate crockpot stew recipes PM'd to me. Please don't burden Mod with them here).

I excpect bleeding to top eventially. only a little lighthead

[Moderator]

They're not a no-no especially if that's the way you like it. Just teasing you. :smile2:

[Becks19]

Blunthead, Hope you heal quickly....glad ya still got all your toes.;)

[blunthead]

They're not a no-no especially if that's the way you like it. Just teasing you. :smile2:I dunno what I like. I dunno what I'm doing. It's a miracle the kitchen isn't ablaze and I still have both feet. Wait, no it's okay, I still have both feet. Where is that smoke coming from...?

I'll PM you a couple of amazing potato soup recipes. Just don't expect exact measurements, that's not how I roll. :cool2:

[blunthead]

[cat in a bag]

Thankee, Mook. Two of them are no longer webbed, however. :down:

:rofl: I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but that was funny!

I've never made beef stew, I don't really care for it, but everyone in my family uses tomatoes in it...and I think V8 juice as part of the liquid as well.

[blunthead]

I am happy today because I inadvertently circumcised two of my toes for free, because I'm pretty certain my insurance doesn't cover acts of God and idiocy.

:rofl: I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but that was funny!

I've never made beef stew, I don't really care for it, but everyone in my family uses tomatoes in it...and I think V8 juice as part of the liquid as well.

I don't use V8/tomato juice in either my stew or my homemade vegetable soup. The first time I ever made vegetable soup my husband was watching. He looked at me and asked "aren't you supposed to put tomato juice in that"? I guess that's the way a lot of people make it( his mother) but I had never heard of making it that way. I will probably try it that way someday just to see how it tastes.

[Moderator]

I've never had it with tomatoes either but have seen recipes that do put them in. I'm not usually one to be afraid to experiment with recipes but know I like beef stew without them so that's one that if it ain't broke, don't fix it for me. Kind of like clam chowder--the idea of putting tomatoes in it is just blasphemous! :biggrin2:

[Connie Reader]

The nice thing about any kind of soup or stew is the malleability of the recipe.

As far as tomatoes in chowda, I'm with ya Ms Mod, blasphemy!

[blunthead]

...Kind of like clam chowder--the idea of putting tomatoes in it is just blasphemous! :biggrin2:Tomatoes in clam chowder? No. I didn't used to distrust tomato people, farmers and the like, but damn! I love clam chowder, and tomatoes need to stay the hell out. I'm serious.

[bryras]

I am happy today because a kid was so happy to see me last night at work that I ended up with a full, body-slam hug. She came running at me and boy, am I ever ALSO happy I'm a strong chick. Immovable object won. A hug like that would flatten most people. Wow. Kind of nice to be loved, huh?

[Moderator]

Absolutely! :smile2:

[Owlnuggets]

I am happy today because I'm reading the Dark Tower again, I found out a personal fact about sai King (his love of tea! me too!)
I took my daughter and her best friend to the store and let them pick out a toy, my personal stock-pile of cancer sticks and dr. pepper is complete and in general, life is good.

I am happy today just reading your post, LadyPain! There is nothing like the feeling you get when someone sees you and runs into your arms. Glad you had that moment last night...

[cat in a bag]

Aww, how cute, Connie Reader!! So, how did the first night in the new bed go?

[Spideyman]

That's adorable, Connie Reader. Looks like bedtime has become fun time.

[BorderCollieMum]

I am happy today because im going to have tomato sausage for tea (I rarely get them so enjoy them even more when I do)

[Connie Reader]

Thanks ya'll! I thought we were going to have a hard time keeping his butt in his bed, however, he liked it so much he didn't really stray. I heard him fall off a few times (having fun bouncing around and testing it's limits) but he stayed in it for the most part, doing his nightly hour of singing, talking and yelling "hey guys, I have to peeeeee!"
The kid is a crack up! :laugh:

[randallFlaggfan1]

I am happy to know that Jeremiah is going to be okay.:love:

[LongTallSally]

I am happy today because my aunt just called a short while ago to tell me that my uncle came through the double heart bypass surgery and the doctor said his heart was beating fine. They were just taking him up to the ICU. He's not going to be awake for a little while yet, but my aunt called to tell me.

Yeah, tears of joy running down my face. So far, so good.

[Connie Reader]

I am happy today because I'm going to my husbands grandparents house for lunch and his Gram makes the best food, she always makes enough for me to take home for supper. She's a little Belgian spitfire who at 83 has more energy than me and his Gramps is a humorous Italian guy and one of the most liberal minded men of his generation that I've ever met. I haven't had a set of grandparents since I was young and being with them makes me happy.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

[fushingfeef]

I'm happy today because my daughter's school had a "Donuts for Dads" event this morning. Just a little gathering for dads and their kids, with donuts, coffee and juice. Jillian was so excited that Daddy was coming to school with her for breakfast! I even got to meet Garrett, this little boy that Jillian has been saying she is "in love" with for the past few days. Cute.

[randallFlaggfan1]

I'm still reading every day. I think I am FINALLY starting to get back into a daily reading schedule. I feel so productive!

[LongTallSally]

I am happy today because I found people today who made me smile even though my day is sh*t here at home. I was out running errands...

-the nice lady at Walmart.
-the nice young man at one grocery store who will talk to someone about ordering in lactose-free CREAM for me... for my tea.
-the person at the gas station who treats me like a princess.
-the staff at the grocery store where I do the majority of my shopping... three of them made me smile today... one of them did it repeatedly.
-the chatty lady in the motor-wheelchair whom I spent twenty minutes talking to.

Those folks help make up for other things going on. I'll take my smiles and friendly folks where I find them.

[Mojo*mofo]

I don't know that happy sums it up, more like elated/ecstatic/hyped-up-on-excitement!

My husband and I don't really celebrate V. Day, we give small gifts to the kids, but we rarely get each other anything. Sometimes we'll go out to dinner, but usually it is just a nice night at home, snuggled up watching movies. When money is tight, it just seems frivolous, and it seems like money is always tight around here.

This year is a little different- we were able to pay off some hospital bills with our tax return, get some much needed stuff like gutters (don't get me started on the Gutter Saga) and shoes for the kids, and we had some cash left over after all that. So my husband decided to sneak the debit card out of my wallet- which is usually a huge no-no (we're talking "hope you enjoy celibacy" proportions), and he very quietly, very sweetly, bought me a Kindle Fire!

It is especially thoughtful because he um, complains fairly frequently that I read too much. Which ok, I can see his point when I forget about dinner and it burns because I'm at a part of a book where I just can't stop. Or I've read half a book with clothes mildewing in the washer. So not only am I happy today for my new toy, but that my husband loves me enough to feed my literary addiction, knowing that it will probably come at a personal expense to him. And when I reminded him of all that, with a blissful, kid at Christmas smile on my face, he just said it was worth it. Awesome. :love:

[Srbo]

Yesterday the mailman brought me ten hardcover books.:)
All seven DT`s in Hardcover, IT first edition, first printing, Salem`s Lot and Dead Zone.
The DT`s are beautiful, man.
Finally I got`em all in HC.:)

Now I need the Green Mile in HC, Firestarter and Night Shift. And I think that`s it for SK hard-covers. I shall find them one day, too.
Stay happy, my friends.

[cat in a bag]

Mojo, that is sooo sweet! Thank you for sharing, it really made me smile.

I am happy today because I can go into my facebook and look at pictures of KimL's puppy, Chet. Too cute. If my dog only knew I was looking at another dog.... *grinz* I love blacker shepherd dogs. Chet has an amazing face.

[Spideyman]

I am happy today because I just returned from a nice visit with Virginia, who was in high spirits. Her mind was clear today and she loved the Valentine's wreath that I made for her. Terri, their dog, enjoyed a new stuffed bear and treats. John was pleasant too-- miracles do happen.

[randallFlaggfan1]

I am feeling more like myself, and that is ALWAYS good!

I am happy today because I get paid!
I can't believe I'm at the point in my life when grocery shopping is a treat. This kid of mine eats so much...oatmeal and blueberries at 8, a banana at 9 with some milk, a cheese stick 15 minutes later and as soon as he was done with that he wanted more! I gave him some cucumber and tomato and told him nothing else until lunch. I guarantee he will ask for something else in 20 minutes. whew! He's like a mini garbage disposal.

Because despite my misgivings over an e-reader, I am really enjoying my new toy. It is not as hard to read on as I thought it would be, and I have access to web-only treats like Mile 81. Which was great, btw. You know it's good when you want to yell at the characters- GET AWAY!!!

[ConstantReader1973]

I am happy today because, in two days, I will be hearing Stephen King give the closing address at the Savannah Book Festival, and with any luck, I will be able to get a signing card so I can have him sign my much-loved copy of Lisey's Story!

I'm happy today because it's Friday and I'm off from my fulltime job next week, which can be extremely stressful. I'll still be at my part time job, but it's not as bad. I think it's the first time I've had a full week off in two or three years.

I actually had to put it down in the middle to make dinner when I was reading it and honestly, I was glad for the break! For some reason it really, really freaked me out. I kept picturing this rest stop I used to pass right before the Lake Placid exit in upstate NY. *shudder* Gave me the willies so bad I had a dream about it that night! So, so good! :eek2:

I am happy today because I am not in a lot of pain, it's sunny with a high of 45, and I get to watch last night's Project Runway and eat a Baby Ruth! Yeah! :biggrin2:

[Jojo87]

I hear you, it was creepy! Especially because a lot of us would stop if it looked like there was a car in trouble, and would we peer into the car? Maybe knock on the window? Sure. It was also one of the goriest shorts I've EVER read! All those brains getting sliced into, and then the metallic *ponk* of the car burping itself back into shape...

I`m happy today cos I just got back from a second hand book store closing sale, bought 12 HC books for 38 bucks..amongst them Danse Macabre ( I didn`t have that one! ), Straub, Barker, two beautiful leather-bound Agatha Christie books, Ranking and some Cinderella pop-up books for my daughter.
Man, the happiness a kid can show...nothing compares to that...:)

[becklyn623]

I am happy today because I just got back from getting my book signed by Sai King AND getting to hear him give the closing address at the Savannah Book Festival. Best. Vacation. Ever.

[ConstantReader1973]

I'm happy today because I'm still riding the high of meeting Stephen King and hearing him give the closing ceremony at the Savannah Book Festival on Sunday. Had a great time meeting new people, hearing King speak, and meeting him at the book signing.

[jacobtlong]

I'm currently at my mom's oncologist's office where a bunch of guys showed up dressed head-to-foot in Mardi Gras garb. They arrived on a bus and gave all the cancer patients, workers, and everyone else a bunch of beads and fake flowers with the petals dyed purple, green, and gold. I wish I had a camera with me so I could have taken a picture of them while they were standing outside because they looked hilarious. Anyway, it's cool to see some people doing some nice things for people they don't know. I wish I would have dressed up today because I got an ugly green pimp jacket at home that would have gone great with my new gold beads. :biggrin2:

[Connie Reader]

I am happy again today! I found out that I'm going to be on the Rachel Ray show on Monday!! I taped a little segment a month ago and just found out when it will air...so tune in and watch me frost a cupcake using a freezer bag! *tada*
:rofl:

[jacobtlong]

Phew. Happy to be back home. In the time it took to leave the house, go the oncology office, wait for the blood count, wait for the doctor to show up, and make it back home I could have watched Ben-Hur in its entirety. I know doctor visit are incredibly long, but this one took forever. The oncologist (who I just noticed looks like a combination of Dan Aykroyd and John Candy :laugh:) had some emergency or something and it took even longer than usual to see him.

I'm pooped.

[LongTallSally]

I am happy today because the police answered my call quickly on Saturday... and also because I found out through another organization that the police have been talking to that ALL THE COPS in my town want to shut down my psycho. They are tired of his crap. He's been phoning the cop shop like crazy to complain about my husband being friends with his soon-to-be-ex wife. I guess they realized that my BIL is an aux. cop with 18 yrs of volunteer time under his belt. They are willing to help. They also realized that the 1 to 5 percent chance of him following through on his threats became 100% on Saturday when he showed up in front of MY HOUSE. He went to my neighbours and started telling them horrible lies. He wants us to get hurt. It was a gong show. Quite the scene and all that. At one point the big cop had him bent backward over the hood of his truck while he screamed into his face.

I am happy because from what I hear, it may not be long before they have enough to arrest him for something, anything, and MAKE it stick in court. What I think would be karmic for a first conviction would be say... 100 hours of community service. The man has no intention of ever holding a job again. He thinks he'll get his wife to support him forever. He's got a surprise coming. So, UNpaid community service work would be so karmic...

I still feel like I need a drink, though.

I'm happy I'm a pothead. Even though ALL of the cops in town know now. Hell, I'm medical. They're checking to make sure I have enough but not too much. Gotta love men in uniform.

I'm happy because I've been to watch my niece's dance school perform tonight at the local theatre. I love watching her dance. She is a beautiful dancer, especially her ballet and lyrical but she's just amazing at everything! Although after 11-years of dance training of course she would be amazing! She makes me so proud. :love:

Now I'm not a fan of Katy Perry but I loved the kids dancing to this song so will play it here, if y'all wanna listen. The enthusiasm the kids had while dancing to it made me wanna dance, thank God I'm having a well deserved night out on Friday! That makes me happy again, yay!! :y:

I'm happy for Marsha (aka Ms. Mod) because she has surpassed the 10,000 posts mark! Now she's UBER-MOD! But she's always been super anyway.

MsMod has always been uber, but now she has the post count to verify it! Way to go MsMod. :y:

Wow, Marsha I'm surprised you didn't notice it. I actually read your 10,000th post yesterday and was going to point it out...since you're only the second person to ever do that! I think JD would have a great chuckle knowing that you caught up to him. :love: You've created just as much work for yourself, as he did for you! :biggrin2:

What the next member step for me?
Member to.......?

I've honestly never paid that much attention to the post counts especially mine because it doesn't seem like it's as big a deal for me since I have to be here whereas someone else attaining that is a big deal, if that makes any sense.

I'm happy today because my son is reading The Hobbit at school. He had a homework assignment on it, and he wrote it up in Runes. Oddly, while is printing and writing are extremely messy, his Runes are very neat.
