What made you smile today?

Reading Robert Gentel's blog. Truth be told I was laughing out loud.

Welcome to a2k, Philippos.


Me, I smiled when I stumbled on my favorite packaged flour tortillas in this city in this state that likes what I think of as texas style tortillas, as opposed to sonora style - too thick in my opinion. Haven't seen these for about five years, since Albertson's stopped carrying them. Made by Guerrero, in, hmm, Texas. Well, last time I tried them, they were nice and thin and they still look thin. Where'd I find them? Walmart.
Not my favorite store, but useful for my wallet.

Got an iPhone 4. Yay!

FWIW, perhaps you might want to know that Nimh posted that msg 9 yrs ago. I don't think NimH has been active on A2K for awhile now.

Literally crying from laughing at an exchange with two FB friends who went to the same elementary school. (The hippy-dippy one I've talked about.) I knew that school was a big influence but I have more in common with these women in how I think + approach the world than with my own family in some ways.

I talked to my brother in San Antonio today. It was 90 degrees.
He is with the AF band and tonight they are marching in a parade there.
"Are you still playing snare drum," I asked.
"No, I'm too old for that. I carry cymbals, but I let the other guy bang away at his."
Your tax dollars at work.

Southampton beat Coventry 4-0. We're going to be playing in the premiership next season.

The Band is the general's last defense, right ?

Visited some churches today. In one (Wimborne Minster) a tomb made me smile - actually the story behind it:
a certain Anthony Ettrick, a barrister and recorder, "fell out with the church authorities and made a public vow that he would never be buried within the Minster. However, when he was older, he had a change of heart and, being a lawyer, he found a way in which he could still be buried within the precincts of the Minster, without having to retract his original vow. He persuaded the church authorities to allow him to be buried “in the wall” of the Minster. Having got his permission, he immediately had a coffin made, on which was inscribed the year he thought he was going to die – 1693. He did not, however, die until ten years later and as it was too expensive to have another stone coffin made, the original date was amended to 1703." (copied from a booklet)

I'll keep that in mind next time I speak with my own lawyer.

I just came across the most wonderful name.

Last name......Meh


First name.......Pleh

I love it.

a couple of meals will come out of this stuffed styrofoam box

Receiving a gift from a friend.
A quilt for my bed, made by my good friend, C.
In lots of different tones of rich purples & mauves. (I got to choose the colour scheme & the design ... more contemporary rather than traditional.)
I'm gobsmacked that it's actually finished ... it's involved hours & hours & hours & hours of work!
It's beautiful. I love it! And I'm so grateful.

That sounds beautiful!

My smile of the day -- getting my daughter's account of finding a very small baby fawn while on a ramble in the woods. Little enough that it was in the "stay very still at all times" phase of life, just curled up and looking around, and she and her friends were able to observe from very nearby. (Not pet, though -- a friend reached towards the fawn to do so and sozlet told her not to, to my relief when she told me the story.) Also proud of her that she spotted it at all, it was well camouflaged. But wow, what an experience! She was entranced.

Awwwwwwwwwws to Msolga and Soz!

smiling doesn't quite express what this does to me
