Not you? I can't really tell much about the picture apart from that it's a woman - I think - so it being your avatar an' all, I thought that ...
(Nebbermind - I don't really 'get' the avatar thing, that's why I dont have one myself either. But Anastasia's avatar features Anastasia ...
).
Yeah, it's me, nimh ~ kitty Lacey is sitting on my lap and I'm scratching her head.....
What made me Smile today... Ummm...
Watching my 3 year old say "Neers" with a face covered in a peanutbutter and oreo icecream, raising his cone to "toast" with his 5 year old sister who had nearly finished hers, and then including me in the toast.
Smile? A joke I heard today.
"Why did the Wasp cross the road"?
I'll probably regret this, but here goes: I don't know....why DID the wasp cross the road?
A., who couldnt sleep and dozily ambled back out into the room again, making happy baby faces while squatting on the floor in her princess' dress made of duvet cover and snacking on cookies, all the remaining cookies, with eyes closed - "I like these, too". <grins>
While that post DID make me smile, it still didn't tell me what happened to the wasp.
The overcast humid weather. . . . . reminds me of home
Um, to get embedded in a radiator?
Was all prepared to be smiley and helpful at work today, but then I got here and the only things in my inbox were a bunch of shite that the lazy bastards could damn well to themselves if they weren't a bunch of overgrown, poorly bathed babies with sh!tty asses.
But yesterday...
Smiled very wide a number of times doing the yard work:
-- at old Dirty Mike next door, who stopped to introduce himself yet again (he can never remember that we've repeatedly met, but he still knows the exact date he retired from the military) and me typically grumpy, on his way to cut some lilies from my other neighbor's (also Mike, but not, apparently, Dirty) yard to go and place on his wife's grave for Mother's Day. Very sweet, and I suspect next weekend will see the ritual grooming of his wife's poodle, who's been keeping the old man company for twenty years now.
-- finding a hatched (or eaten, but I prefer to think hatched) robins egg in the deep grass in the backyard. If the dogs had found it, I never would have.
-- watching a full-grown robin following behind me, browsing through the piles of freshly cut grass for whatever it is that robins like to eat.
-- the gf coming out of the house with a hot piece of bread from a loaf she'd just baked, me dripping with sweat and unaware that she had been baking. Homemade pizza followed later on, and I smiled at that, too.
-- at the dogs, finally allowed in the yard, looking around with wonder at the naked ground, not sure where all the tall weeds had gone.
-- the six rays that came off the moon in the same direction no matter which way I tilted my head.
And at midnight, who likes humid weather. Gimme a 110?F and dry; can't stand yoomidity...
Today my dog made herself dizzy. She does donuts, spind really fast in a tight little circle. She did it twice, the second time she squated back on her hindlegs for a second, eye's slightly a-roll. Then she took off on a butt-hunching rip-tear around the yard. My neice wanted more. I told her we'd already had a whole lot a silly Boo for one day.
oooh pdog - so poetic! Sounds like a great day! And on a monday no less.
Tell me why I don't like Mondays.....Tell me why I don't like Mondays.....
Oh yeah, I'm on vacation. I LOVE Mondays!
<BIG SMILE......encrustd with Oreos>
Salvato brothers, electricians, came to the 'new house' where I'm moving to fix the circuit my bf blew when he attempted to install a chandelier. They were simply adorable. I understoon perhaps one third of what they said as they had a heavy Massachussetsian accent and spoke like a treadmill, fast and incessantly. They teased me a lot (I think), for they had to wait for me for some 10 minutes. Bf told them that if they don't show up, or come late, I will bite their heads off, what a darling. I biked over, so the older brother praised me for keeping fit and pulled out his big beer belly and patted it. In any case, one would have to be there, but I kept giggling half an hour after they left. Then I remembered they charged me $200 for some 5-10 minutes of work. 175 just for showing up, grrrr. but so cute!
dagmaraka, your story (and picturing a slovak tell it) made me smile today. <nods>
thanks.
please don't charge me. <giggles>

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........
otis-the-dog got his morning massage, grunting and rolling over on his back on trying to lick/bite my arm, grunting the while. both dogs are very noisy in their relaxation. this afternoon they'll go swimming, which is dangerous because the little one is just catching on and likes to go swimming off after stuff, chasing bugs and birds in the water as though she has some chance of catching them. would survive in the wild for five minutes, that one.
After a few days of feeling down I woke up HAPPY! For no reason, just happy. Singing HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY from Ren and Stimpy. Grinning for no good reason. So, nothing in particular made me smile today, but I am grinning like a fool nonetheless.
Fools have much to be happy about. The air, the sun, the water, the earth. (Much more pleasant to think on than the humors.)
Dag, the Salvatos would've knocked off $100 if you had simply shown them your marakas.
