The highlight of your day

[Odbe]

The best part of my day was getting a free paperclip.

What about you?

[Brynn]

Odd, but I actually used a paperclip as a prop today. And it too was free.

[zero]

half-hour shower

[daverbee]

Posting in this thread is pretty special.

[trisherina]

2 days in a row waking up feeling fine!!

[lostsadie]

I opened a door for an older couple...they were having a hard time by themselves, but smiled and laughed with eachother and me through the whole thing.

I'm still smiling about it. I like happy people

[Hyakujo's Fox]

When I woke, my back didn't hurt nearly as much as it did when I went to sleep.

[xfox]

Our co-op had a great sale on grapefruit and so I've used my grapefruit knife for the fourth day in a row at breakfast.

[Frieda]

driving a renault scenic

huge mf!

[WizardsKeep]

I double dipped a chip.

And it felt gooood!:D

[zenbabe]

I got a free scone this morning, hot out of the oven. :)

[eepsilon]

sleeping in on a weekday and not feeling guilty about it. and then i got the half hour shower, too!

[auntie aubrey]

got big kudos on a project


seriously, i sat here and thought and thought and thought because i didn't want my highlight to be work-related. no dice.

[Marcus Bales]

Cat sleeping on my chest; cat sleeping on my lap; cat sleeping on my feet; me dozing reading about other people's highlights. Pretty cool.

[Coffee]

Calling my girlfriend on my brand new (first ever) cell phone from my car during my lunch break...and using voice dial to make the call. :cool:

[ambo]

Putting new aerators on my bathroom sink faucets.
It takes so little to please me.

[Jack Flanders]

My baby is now 13 today. Yikes.... HB!! Erik! OH hah!!! Chocolate cake and ice cream!!! :) :) I still want credit on the "Project."

[Jaime]

Hearing that I'll be making a bit more money than I thought I would be making next week. :D

[daverbee]

^^^
Me, too! Pay raises are wonderful things when they're unexpected!

[WizardsKeep]

I woke up this morning and had a little extra syrup on my waffles.

mmmm....waffles!

[trisherina]

"I'm satisfied with that."

[Brynn]

Ended up having a really nice conversation with someone who was interviewing me for a job.

[Odbe]

I bought a packet of lavender-flavoured humbugs.


Yes, lavender.

[Coffee]

Does Lavender taste like purple?

[Brynn]

Apart from the Scrooge variety, what's a humbug?

[zenbabe]

I got laid :)

[Frieda]

^^^ show off :rolleyes:



highlight of my day was sunshine, warm lovely sunshine.. spring is here!

[madasacutsnake]

Following a terrible week the highlight of which was yanking my daughter from her expensive private school, the highlight of my day was getting a hug from an old lady at work.

[Odbe]

Does Lavender taste like purple?
It tastes like shampoo, but nicer. Sort of.


Apart from the Scrooge variety, what's a humbug?

Common Humbug Humbuggus humbuggus
Candy variety - subspecies yummi

Habitat: Lolly shops (that's candy stores for those who deprive colour of its 'u').
Appearance: Around the size and shape of a barley sugar or similar lolly. Usually striped black and white but stripes may be coloured differently according to flavour.
Properties: Usually aniseed flavoured but sometimes mint, raspberry or even lavender.
Social habits: Sold in large groups in packets or bags.
Preferred prey: Small children, live and screaming.

[lostsadie]

Ms. Snake, sounds like you needed a hug!

The best part of my day: I have successfully removed all of the cactus spines from my hands and the one that got between my toes, amazing, I have no idea how is got there. I do NOT suggest trying it out though.

[Tunesmith]

Lying in the backseat of a car with my head on my girlfriend's shoulder, while we mumbled semi-incoherently to each other. I think we may have discussed something important, but I'm too tired to remember.

And it was raining, which added greatly to the ambience. :)

[eepsilon]

Opus On My Starbucks Coffee. I Had Forgotten About Bloom County.

[zenbabe]

The farmers market on Sundays.

[beckstra]

Marinated Artichoke Hearts & The Fifth Element...all at the same time. *dreamy*

[priceyfatprude]

Oveboard comic from today. Been there, done that. hahahahahahaaaaaa

[funkytuba]

Between trips from our old house to our new house hauling over the rest of the crap, I went to my coffeeshop and bought a bottled mexican coke. Kidless, I stood outside watching the sun set and inhaling secondhand smoke from the passel of smokers out front as a jumbo jet flew over at cruising altitude leaving four brilliant white contrails.

The mexican coke (made with sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup) played over my tongue just differently enough and added a certain familiar friction to my teeth to take my psyche back to days of old before Coke Classic and Bill Cosby when my dad was still alive.

[Audreyvgs]

Watchin bink and his friend Travis spend half a day trying to tie two bottlerockets in opposite directions then lighting them and seeing which one won.

[trisherina]

Getting Miss Rat a dress for high tea (she found one voluntarily!!!)

[Avalon]

I realized that this is the day "The Riches" debut. No matter what else happens today, I have that to look forward to this evening. Yay, Eddie Izzard!

[Brynn]

I love Eddie Izzard. thanks for the reminder!

[madasacutsnake]

Getting Miss Rat a dress for high tea (she found one voluntarily!!!)

Ah crap. My 'to do' list is already long enough................

[Frieda]

the stars! the stars are visible!

[auntie aubrey]

this thread is difficult for me. it's easy for me to identify the lowlight of any given day. it's much harder to identify the highlight. i should work on that.

[Brynn]

when in doubt, try salt. anything salted is pretty good and worth noting :)

[Jack Flanders]

I thought the highlight of my day was to be ordering my second Shamrock Shake@ from Mickey D's in two weeks. Went thru drive thru, got to the talking box, ordered my request and was DENIED!!!!!!! Fvking milk shake machine was out for repairs. :mad: Well, the day's not over, yet. Don't have high hopes for much joy, now.

[Brynn]

here, look at something beautiful:

Shadows (http://www.geekarmy.com/cool/Penn-Teller-Shadows.html)


(I saw this particular performance from about five feet away and it took my breath away - finding it and getting to see it again is pretty great).

[Jack Flanders]

Awww, Brynn, that was beautiful. Thanks.

[lostsadie]

My son is on spring break so I took today off and we rode our bikes then went bowling...it was the best day I've had in months! Even if a nine year old beat me at bowling :rolleyes:

[Tunesmith]

Amazing, Brynn! has he revealed how it's done?

I think the highlight of my day must've been sleeping in until one; I woke up feeling completely relaxed.

so relaxed, in fact, that I rolled out of bed and slept for another half hour on the floor... :rolleyes:

But, what can you expect after a week of six-hour nights?

[Brynn]

If you're like me, a steady stream of six-hour nights eventually means you'll get sick, that's what - good thing you caught up!

I don't know that Penn and Teller ever reveal their own best tricks, anyway, but that's one I hope to never figure out. There was some street stuff that David Blaine did that I used to just drop-jaw marvel at that I'm kind of sorry I know how to do now, thanks to youtube, so I mourn that loss of wonder a little bit. Some of the most wonderful tricks out there are also the simplest of all possible illusions, and I've no doubt that "Shadows" is one of those.

[lostsadie]

Spring spring spring

La la la la

Makes me soo happy

La de da la la la

[eepsilon]

Much like sadie, i'm revelling in the 80 degree weather, with an added bonus:
the end to a two year wait for a fat tire beer!:D

[auntie aubrey]

i had two highlights today:

1) receiving a big order from lush and then taking the most luxurious bath i've ever had

2) discovering that a batch of homemade soap that i thought was an utter failure is actually finally starting to cure properly, which means i don't have to dump it and in a couple of weeks i can start french milling.

[zenbabe]

two hour nap after I got home from work, waking up at 7 in a panic and realizing it is not actually 7 in the morning.:)

[Jack Flanders]

My large Shamrock Shake from Mickey D's!!! :D I am easily amused.

[lostsadie]

Thank heaven for working Ice cream machines :D

[Jack Flanders]

You betcha!!

[daverbee]

I'm leaving work after only a half day!
Unfortunately, it's to take my mother to get a root canal.
But then, I'm not getting the root canal so that's two highlights!
Sort of...

[Tunesmith]

Oh, HAPPY DAY!

I've just been invited to the "Summer Paintball Combat Simulation" @ the Military College of Virginia!

Full-body bruises, here I come!

[auntie aubrey]

i discovered that one of the college radio stations does a dub block from 12-1 on wednesdays. that was pretty boss.

[Audreyvgs]

God,i used to love shamrock shakes, I can't even remember when i last had one, now that i'm lactose intolerant due to my penchant to be a breeder. I'll try and lomotil and succumb tomarrow.

[Jack Flanders]

You go girl!!! I'm going back tomorrow for another drinky-poo!!! Thank god they don't make them all year! But then again if they did - maybe they wouldn't be so special. Hmmm.

[priceyfatprude]

Aud, get a child-sized one & have a few sips. Throw the rest AWAY!!!!. :0

Highlight of my day: AIP bonus from work.

[Jack Flanders]

Yay!!! Spend it fun.

[Jack Flanders]

Good luck!! (I'm not sure how much milk really goes into these shakes so maybe you can be crazy!!!)

[Odbe]

The highlight of my day was a fairly typical Geography lesson.
I spent the first half hour or so of the lesson handcuffed to the person next to me for no particular reason. Eventually someone comparitively observant noticed the handcuffs and told their neighbour. From there the news spread as people started shouting across the room that I had a weapon. Mild chaos ensued. The behaviour of the class reminds me strongly of a flock of sheep when they see something they have never seen before. Eventually the teacher tracked down the source of the confusion and told us to remove the handcuffs. When I asked why, she looked quite confused and said that they weren't allowed, although there is nothing against them in the school's discipline code. She was also glancing toward my suspiciously empty book, so rather than argue the point we took off the handcuffs.

This is the top class in a Government-funded highschool. I am not joking.

Anyway, these are the notes I took today. We do get our books checked every now and then.

[dinzdale]

That's what your boyfriend thought :)

[Frieda]

At least you don't have a nipple growing on your foot!!

(Did) anyone else from the boards watch The Show? Ending tomorrow, btw...:(

[eepsilon]

I Gave Back: Chocolate Covered Strawberries To The Guy Who Always Gives Me Free Starbux Coffee.

[auntie aubrey]

i realized today that the highlight of my day every day is my morning shower. i have oodles and oodles of bath gels and soaps and shampoos and scrubs etc and it's become my morning self-indulgence to decide what combination of smells i want to wake up with.

the second highlight of my day is my evening relaxation bath by candlelight. because of the oodles and oodles of bath type products i have, too.

people should spend more time in the water.

[l'azizza]

Baths are my favorite. But I don't have a tub now. I have a shower stall so small if you had an erection you couldn't turn around.

[auntie aubrey]

if i had an erection i would be very startled, indeed.

I adore a long hot bath, but my fear of water is rising again as the Delaware River is also rising. :( :( :(

[priceyfatprude]

Yay!!! Spend it fun.2 words:

CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

:(

[Brynn]

Oh crap. Not this year. Not this year. Not this year, no no no. Don't even think it.:mad:

[trisherina]

The highlight of my day is drinking coffee with half and half out of my favourite perfectly-sized "wish" cup and sitting in the dim but growing light at my desk, visiting all my familiar spots on the web and deciding how the day should unfold.

[Tunesmith]

Discovering a 48 minute 41 second long Tibetan chant on the depths of iTunes.

Nothing like some Tibetan throat singing to put you to sleep. There's something oddly calming about twenty one elderly monks perforating their vocal cords in unison.

[auntie aubrey]

guidance to said itunes track would be muchly appreciated

[Odbe]

Wow.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

cranking up the opening to JSB's magnificat in the car

[trisherina]

Wow.

Some of us have to learn to lower our expectations.

[Tunesmith]

guidance to said itunes track would be muchly appreciated

Search the "Tibetan Tantric Choir" by the Gyuto monks. Yeah, there's two tracks. But it kinda flooowwss...especially if you're already semi-concious. :cool:

[auntie aubrey]

i'm usually semi-conscious.

[Audreyvgs]

[priceyfatprude]

baby goat = red x


The highlight of my day was the Culver's chicken fingers.

[daverbee]

Went to the Jacksonville Orchid Society annual orchid show.
Got drunk on the aromas and the flowers.
Didn't spend a nickel.

[zenbabe]

omg, I want the baby goat!!!!!!


the highlight of my day was not waking up with a hangover after the st. patties day festivities.

[l'azizza]

Well Jack, I wanted to say that I tried the Shamrock Shake, and it was my favorite thing ever.

But after I ordered they said no, I couldn't have one due to electric cord problems!!

??

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

[Avalon]

The highlight of my today is : after carefully checking the lists, I didn't find any of my pet's food being recalled.
*whew*

[Frieda]

watching dolly fcking parton on tv


i'm really still hoping that someone anywhere on this planet enjoys watching dolly parton on tv too

maybe even a concert? no? yes?

[Brynn]

Dolly Parton's bigger than life itself. She's a major spectacle wherever she shows up - what's not to like????????:)

[Frieda]

:) :) :)

[auntie aubrey]

watching dolly fcking parton on tv

wow, the censors are getting lax.

i hope parton signed a release form.

[trisherina]

Making up some utter nonsense for a rationale, and having it pass anyway.

[TinaBina]

making shaving cream letters on my kitchen table with my daughter.
And the smell of her blue playdough

[auntie aubrey]

reading through an old thread bumped here and realizing with amazement and certainty that i know a registered member of this forum from another forum. which is weird because i only post on like two forums. here and there. which is weird. but fun. an interesting highlight at the end of the day.

[Jack Flanders]

I always liked the smell of the yellow playdough. It's just me! :)

Are they still posting? Just curious. (Read nosy)

[Jack Flanders]

Spill!

Crap!! You beat me !! Damn editing!!!

[auntie aubrey]

no longer posting. in fact it looks as though his account is inactive.

[Jack Flanders]

Still nosy! ....?

[auntie aubrey]

well i was going to be all dramawhore about it and send it in a PM, but i'm just not that dramatic. it's imdrsmooth.

[AllegroNg]

Being reminded (once again) of what incredible friends I have..

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070319/ap_on_he_me/healthbeat_split_livers_5

Split transplant; two patients share one organ
A college student who received a life-saving liver transplant says she couldn't imagine saying no to a doctor's request that a piece of her donated liver be used to help a very sick baby. (March 19)

[Frieda]

well i was going to be all dramawhore about it and send it in a PM, but i'm just not that dramatic. it's imdrsmooth.


dr smooth's account hasnt been active here in a while, i do hear dr smooth still exists somewhere. funny how the internut can be such a small place!

[Coffee]

The smoothie is alive and well, and probably very busy...the lucky bastard. ;)

[auntie aubrey]

i haven't heard anything of his goings on in quite a while. i just deleted some of the stuff i typed because discussing it without him here makes me feel all internet-creepy. so i'm going to stop now.

moving on, the highlight of my day today will hopefully be watching the momentous occasion of the launching of the spaceX rocket (http://www.spacex.com/webcast.php).

[auntie aubrey]

liftoff! that was really cool. and it really WAS the highlight of my day! *nerds*

[Tunesmith]

Whoa! was it the webcast, or did you see the launch live?

I'd have to say the highlight of my day was discovering a bunch of old CDs that I hadn't listened to for years. I promptly ripped 'em to iTunes. :D

[auntie aubrey]

webcast. we don't have a space program in the land of Beyond The Call Of Duty.

[Audreyvgs]

Smoothie doesnt care if you talk about him. He'd be disturbed if you didn't.
I have never met him, but I have gotten THISclose.

[Coffee]

I almost got to sleep with smoothie...however I was this / / close and under the same roof anyhow and we slept. :eek: :D

[madasacutsnake]

Me too. I was drunk in an airport hotel at the time. I've always regretted that. Not the being drunk. That was ok. The being too drunk and jetlagged to be human enough to meet smooth.

eta replying to audrey not coffee. I never got close to sleeping with smoothie

[priceyfatprude]

Smoothie picked me up at the airport once. We shared a meal, I went to a conference, then we went to Disneyland & watched the fireworks. Someone else was with us for all this. ;) There are pictures, somewhere.

The one pic I am mad I didn't get: some lady breastfeeding on a bench in a big crowd of people waiting for the fireworks. Seriously. We could not believe it.

[12"razormix]

large crowds waiting for fireworks just make me mad! :mad:

[trisherina]

The one pic I am mad I didn't get: some lady breastfeeding on a bench in a big crowd of people waiting for the fireworks. Seriously. We could not believe it.

Was the lady taking in milk from another lady, then? Now THAT would be startling.

[12"razormix]

and very unbecoming!

[dinzdale]

Depends what her knockers looked like.

[craig johnston]

large crowds waiting for fireworks just make me mad! :mad:

:D

[priceyfatprude]

I wanted the pic cause I knew no one would believe me. ;)

[madasacutsnake]

The one pic I am mad I didn't get: some lady breastfeeding on a bench in a big crowd of people waiting for the fireworks. Seriously. We could not believe it.

I would believe you because here we do that sort of thing all the time. What I found hard to believe and wanted a picture of was a woman I saw breastfeeding in Seattle with some sort of bib thing on so no-one would accidentally be offended by her baby having a drink - or possibly have their attention yanked away from the porn on display in the newstands for a moment. Seriously, no-one here believes me when I tell them about it.

"36 states have laws with language specifically allowing women to breastfeed in any public or private location (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Tennessee, Texas, and Vermont)."

[priceyfatprude]

Did I mention she looked old enough to be the baby's great grandma? No? Boo.

[l'azizza]

Did I mention she looked old enough to be the baby's great grandma? No? Boo.

Sure, why not? Men will start to lactate if you suck long enough.

[TinaBina]

Not sure why a woman breastfeeding in public would warrant any disbelief. Unless I am bleary-eyed for lack of sleep and just don't get your post.

FYI... those blankies to cover up the action - it's like waving a flag to say yoooooooohoooooooo here I am!!! Most women can nurse in public and never have anyone notice.

[Odbe]

An Unboring Sunday Brunch

1. Spread a flatbread with philly cheese
2. Sprinkle ground sweet paprika over the cheese
3. Spread a few teaspoons of store-bought pesto over it
4. Add some capers in vinegar and a bit of the vinegar
5. Fold up clumsily
6. Eat as finger food, dripping vinegar and oil all over your pajamas.

[trisherina]

- Russian caviar
- Getting useful advice from my dad
- Having a temp of 101F (it beats hell out of the achy phase)

[Jack Flanders]

Spending the day and evening with old, old friends (we're not that old - just have known them a long time, hm well actually, compared to some young people toasting here, we are) and having 20 some years disappear. My ribs still hurt from laughing so hard!!! :)

[TinaBina]

birthday cake. not mine, someone else's.

[Jack Flanders]

Meeting a friend's new love and seeing their deep friendship. :)

[craig johnston]

I didn't kill anybody whom I shouldn't have.

[trisherina]

The highlight of my day will be to explain grade school science. Very patiently. To regulated health professionals.

[Odbe]

I didn't kill anybody whom I shouldn't have.

I admire that kind of self-control.

[Frieda]

i decided today not to give a fvck. this is definitely a major milestone. now i have to figure out how that works. how does one stop caring? :confused:

[zero]

how does one stop caring? :confused:

don't shave for a fortnight

[Frieda]

ermm? :confused: shave??

[zero]

it's what i do to show when i've stopped caring so i just thought it might be helpful to you in your not caring endeavour

and i think it gives me a sort of edge

[Frieda]

but
that's just a signal to the outside world, like people say about me "dial m for murder, or just for a random punch in the face" when i put on the serious look. im reluctant to try "blue steel" but i might do that soon though. im on the edge. i might even start to wear sneakers to work again. or put makeup on.

i hate it and therefore i have to let it go. ill see how long i can go without a proper shave.

[dinzdale]

Not caring is the first step.

Work you way up to not giving a shit.

Eventually you'll be not giving a flying monkey's bollocks.

[Frieda]

i can't even make it to the first step! :eek:

[zenbabe]

people wear makeup to work?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Frieda]

i have done so for many many years, and not just to work. i've been clean for the past 2 years though.

[c70man]

The best part of my day was getting a free paperclip.

What about you?

The only person actually surprised was her since I wasn't. :)

Seeing the bald eagles again fishing in the river!

[Clytie]

seeing everyone here...and its like it hasnt changed...

GEEzER~

[Jack Flanders]

Welcome back!!

[Odbe]

I made a paper chain.

[Frieda]

2 colleagues are leaving this week and they ordered a cake as a goodbye present.. when they opened the box it had a typo in the chocolate writing. it tasted good though :D

[zenbabe]

what was the typo? If it is good, I will use it on the cake next week!!

The Bob's are coming!

[TinaBina]

weeding my garden. felt good to get into some dirt

[Jack Flanders]

^^^ Doing that tomorrow!! Can you believe the temps we had in the Philly area early this week? :D

[Odbe]

Fooling around on a pottery wheel, not making anything specific, just getting back on to it and getting my hands dirty. I think you're right, everyone needs some mud or dirt or clay every now and then.

[daverbee]

Knock on the door of the shop, I open it, find our regular courier who finally decided to come to work. Means I get to do my own farking job today...

[Coffee]

Calculating actual time spent working at my new job vs down time spent reading a paperback book between client calls, and discovering that I am getting paid 8 hours a day for around 6 hours of actual work :D .

[Frieda]

what was the typo? If it is good, I will use it on the cake next week!!

The Bob's are coming!

um, i dont think that works in english.. it said "het word nooit meer zoals vroeger" which means something like "it will never again be like it used to be"

it should be wordt instead of word, with a t..
ik word - i will be
het wordt - it will be

it's something you learn when youre 12 :D

[zenbabe]

I should make the cake anyway, just for the wtf looks I would get...

[Jaime]

The highlight of my day was trying on a dress that was given to me that didn't fit two months ago, and having it fit today. That has never happened to me before. :)

[Odbe]

There is honour among thieves. There is none whatsoever among schoolchildren.

[Frieda]

bought 3 dvd-box of BOTTOM

only 7 euros! wooooo! :D

[Tunesmith]

Finding the entire two seasons of Rome online.

Pasty old men arguing about politics in the Senate juxtaposed with formerly gladiatorial swordsmanship and just a dash of actual historical fact, here I come! Wheeeee! :D

[T.I.P.]

finding out that today was friday instead of thursday...

yyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaah ! :D :D

[Odbe]

These kids (boys) can go on and on about someone being a wimp, and then straight out turn and run the moment a girl so much as stands up to them. What is this?!?

[trisherina]

Uhm, the age-old pattern known as bullying?

[Odbe]

Bleh. People. Bleh.

[craig johnston]

the highlight of my day today was watching 'kes' with my
mate codé, who had never seen it before.

[zenbabe]

I saw a gay easter bunny!

[Tunesmith]

Bleh. People. Bleh.

I know, right? Some days you've just gotta be misanthropic.

Teaching my 3yo (today) daughter how to say "animated gifs"

[eepsilon]

I admitted to myself that I am just odd enough to let a perfect stranger take a picture of my foot just so he could prove to his wife that he is not the only person in the world that has a piggy-backing pinky toe.
He seemed happy about it. I am willing to say it might have been the highlight of HIS day.
So what if the guy might have a foot fetish?

the highlight of my day? hmmm... let me think... perhaps it was the part where i went to MOTHER LOVING SPACE CAMP????

this means i've finally visited all three NASA facilities: kennedy space center at cape canaveral, johnson space center in houston, and marshall space flight center in huntsville.

stood near the base of a 1:1 scale model of the saturn V rocket. i had to piece together several shots in photoshop in order to capture the whole damn thing. it's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. i'd seen a saturn V laid out lengthwise along the hangar at kennedy, but seeing it upright was awe-inspiring.

for scale, here's a different shot (http://www.gofalldown.com/cacophony/myimages/SaturnVScale.jpg). well back from the actual site, with people in the foreground to illustrate how enormous this thing is.

rockets make my heart go pitty-pat.

The highlight of my day was "testing out" the mattress section at Macy's with my buds for over 2 hours.

There's something to be said for lying around and talking about nothing. :)

Finding the perfect gift ie. a terracotta echidna which you soak in water and sprinkle with seed and the sprouts then form the spines.

Getting a cool haircut for 10€ (cos my usual, ca. 2.5 times more expensive, hair stylist had no more appointments free today) and it being done by an extra-cute guy ;)

Looking up at my guy yesterday after a very upsetting day and realizing a person really can make everything seem okay, and that he is that person. :)

going out to see Sirsy (http://www.sirsy.com/bios/index.htm), but my ears are still ringing.

Today is New Years Day and the local humane society was closed. I found a wonderfuly sweet lab/springer spaniel mix walking near a busy intersection and took him home at 3:00 this afternoon. I simply cannot keep another dog, but I took a chance this time hoping to find someone to help me out. After a lot of phone calls, at 9:00 pm I gave him to a man who runs a no kill shelter here in town. Finding a home for that dog was the highlight of my day.
