What made you smile today?

Well, my goodness, ehBeth. Post 'em as only you can do. I always pictured nimh as a young, good-lookin' dutch boy with his toe stuck in a dike.

I just posted a pic of hamburger from 70+ years ago in the family album thread.

I once sent little k some old pics, from 5, 10, 15 years ago, to put up on her site (back in abuzz days). She did, but it got all messed up somehow: the one I told her not to say it was mine is listed as mine, while an old one I told her to just post for the heck of it now says she cant say who it is. And a third one's actually listed with the file name thats in fact my real-life name. No, better not go back there, they're well buried, leave well alone.

Still, I was looking at the same series of pictures of myself the other day, and then some - my sis wanted me to send some - and it struck me how, well, its like - totally different persons. Every four years a totally different person. Kinda shocking/striking. So perhaps I'll open up a brief through-view to a series of 'em for some brief moment here some time, after all - some kinda selection - just for the strangeness of the effect. Maybe ...

walking to work this morning

it was still snowing - had been throwing down the white fluffy stuff for about 18 hours at that point

talked to the regulars - greeted my favourite morning dogs out on their strolls

got to one of my favourite houses, where dad is always coaxing the twins (male and female, about 3.5 years old) into the car as I'm going past

the little girl was refusing to get in the car because she wanted to shovel. daddy was promising, first in english and then in french, that there would still be snow later today and she could shovel then. no. no. no. shovel. i wanna shovel.

i passed the house and turned the corner.

kept walking




I WANNA SHOVEL





little kids sure have voices that can carry

Its garbage day today, the garbage bags are out on the curb. The garbage bags and some other stuff. Like, down near the Ganzenmarkt, a wooden cross, painted black with hellish red flames licking up from the bottom, and a Barbie nailed to it, crucified, with "R.I.P." above her head.

There's a family album thread? How do I find it?

We got bonus checks today. The financial folk apparently tortured the
numbers enough to make last year's goals. So we'll pay for it
somewhere down the road. But for now, it's money, honey!

hey!

The little snow shovelling fiend was growling away again this morning. Dad was buckling her into her carseat as I was passing.

"Neige mumble mumble"

dad sounds

"shovel snow mumble mumble"

dad sounds

"Neige"




nothing like a one track mind

The thought of going home tonite

I am going on a mini vacation starting in 1 1/2 hours!!!!

The twilight sky with the waxing crescent moon...
All those colors...
"Life is beautiful... here."

The word on the street is mr. sexy joahaeyo is coming home the 16th ...a tad past dinner time!!!!

I went to a truly marvellous concert last night.
Ben Grossman played the hurdy-gurdy.
I seem to have a little 'thing' for Ben Grossman.
I keep winking at him when I run into him on the street in The Annex, or at Sarah's Falafel.
Nice young man.
Why do I keep smiling and winking at him?

article on Ben Grossman from the Star




It was a fabulous concert, the hurdy-gurdy sounded great, and Ben's got new black leather pants :wink:

My sister, Kimberly, went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. She had the flu about 3 weeks ago and never really got her strength back. The doctor ran tests on her. Came back in the room and told her she was just fine. And congratulations you are pregnant! Very unexpected for her.

When she had the flu she said it was at the same time her period was due and she didn't think much about missing it. Just figured that being sick had something to do with it.

They have twin girls, Kaylee and Kaitlyn....and a son, Nicholas. So baby #4 on the way. (Or babies #4 and #5 )

<still smiling>

Congratulations to you and your sis, Brooke!

Thanks, superjuly!

It's time for another baby in the mix. The youngest is Zach and he will be 2 in June. Mom and Dad can never have too many grandchildren to spoil, ya know. :wink:

I needed a part for the toilet and Ace Hardware was actually open and had the part I needed. Saved an hour drive to Home Despot.

I have changed the driver side mirror and front light on my car today! all alone! and i had to spraypaint the mirror first. while i was at it, i 'touched up' a few spots on my (14 year old) car. which means i essentially spray-painted my car today. the fellows here at the foundation were watching from inside, thinking 'the crazy slovak is at it again'. hell yes, i have to have 5 workshops prepared by tomorrow, anything is better than actually preparing them.

You're much handier than my roomate, who paid over $200 for the same thing, and was too lazy to change a tailight bulb himself...actually has no clue how to do that.
