What made you smile today?

Good to hear that still happens!

I love that!

There is one person at our local grocery store like that -- awhile ago she had an elaborate hairstyle, cornrows/braids all dyed a vivid dark pink, and sozlet complimented her on it, and that started a great conversation between the two of them and now we're always happy to see each other (especially those two, the conversation often goes so fast that I can't always keep abreast but they have fun).

The acknowledged expert (aka Alpha Geek) in one aspect of our product
came to ask me a question today. And I knew the answer.

This morning the Customer Service man from Met-Ed knocked on the door to tell me we'd be without power for an hour or two while a new transformer box was being installed.

I muttered something about changing my plans and then brightened and asked whether one or two of his Big Strong Men could move the treadmill from the back seat of the car into the living room.

Mr. Noddy has been dealing with treadmill assembly all afternoon. Sometime tomorrow I'll be able to do safe winter walking.

Geez Noddy. You must have batted your long lashes and pursed those luscious lips, huh?

Eoe--

I fluttered my eyelashes and showered them with praise all the way from the car to the living room.

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Noddy, you made me smile with your post and I also smiled when I got a package from a friend today :-D

a flying tomato

Had a customer come in with part of his engine, and a long face...

He says:

I've been at this all night, and it's all messed up. (It was)
I watched the instruction video, and the guy on it didn't have any of the problems I am, he made it look so simple...

I fixed it, but he had to let me quit laughing first.

There is a utility line a mere 12 feet or so from my second story window. I looked out and there were 16 bluebirds, a foot or so apart.

My yummy breakfast.

Getting signed up for a class I've been waiting for!

Saw the movie Bucket List. Jack Nicholson still brings the funny.... and the good acting.

I finished and mailed the last of my Christmas cards.

RJB--

I envy you your bluebirds--such an auspicious omen for your 2008 endeavors.

bounce, bounce, swish. Coffee bean in my slipper

a funny neighbor.

A well-executed fake hand-off.

Trying to get some things done that I just never seem to have time to get done.....before classes start up again tomorrow.

Anyhow....ran across a picture of me with a girl on the cheerleading squad. She tried for 3 years (7,8,9th grades) to get on the squad and she kept getting rejected.

Sad as it is......(and why I even hate to admit I ever was a cheerleader sometimes), she just didn't fit the mold. Which was so stupid IMO. But I was a kid, like her, and not like I had much pull. She had something wrong with her teeth and when she smiled you couldn't help but be drawn to it. The clicks made fun of her. And I kept thinking....if she could become cheerleader, maybe all the teasing would stop?

She had a small build and was very limber. End of 9th grade I became captain and when tryouts began for our Sophomore year, I had a lot to say about who made it and who didn't. That was the year we gave her a position. She held it all the way through school.

We both went our seperate ways (different colleges) and I guess when I saw her picture today, I had to smile because......I just know that no matter where she is today....she's doing awesome! She had the guts to keep getting back up when a bunch of stuck up kids pushed her down. And in my book......she was more of a person than any of those girls ever were or probably ever will be.

She ROCKED!

Finally getting back into A2K :-D
