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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
