My Stepsister is doing this on facebook quite a bit, This helps her keep her from falling into a depression with the family situation we have going on right now and to focus on the good stuff in life. I thought with all of the crap that goes on in our lives with our sick relatives, I think maybe doing this thread will help people focus on the good stuff in life, maybe give some hope to some people who are struggling out there. Feel free to contribute to this thread!
One: I got a vacuum cleaner belt for my vacuum online today for 10% off today, plus free shipping.
Two: My favorite OTA channel is working again, after a couple days of pain in the rear transmitter maintenance.
Three: I get Wednesday off (Mom is going to her activities on Wed, meaning that I will not have to help her unpack on Wednesday. Very nice to get a day off)
I told my brother after New Year I'm taking a family vacation and he needs to fill in for me. It'll be cold at the time, so I'm thinking either Mexico or Hawaii.
Oh, and I'm making my favorite beef soup today. A big pot so when my husband and kids come back tomorrow night, they will have some delicious beef soup waiting for them.
2) American Film Institute countdown specials.
3) Very mild outside, no wind or cold.
Pot roast, mashed potatoes & carrots for supper

i keep tinkering away to ready things for him . he has a new towel bar , washcloth bar , and today a toothbrush and wall mount for it .
im seldom blindsided by anything . my ex will fail yet another drug screen and the judge is not going to be smiling .
there isnt going to be any adversaries left when i walk onto the battlefield . thats been my plan for 3 years and i believe it'll be worth the wait .
i sent the ex an email this am . i have a soviet army pile cap that id like for nick to have this winter -- it'll be in my mailbox today .
i'll be surprised if it gets picked up , but thats just one more thing she can explain to nick someday .
he's going to have hard questions some day . mine are all going to be answered with consistency -- the others' ?
i wouldnt want to be them ..
I adored the series. I saw the movie when it first came out. I enjoyed it.
Do you have a favorite character and why are they a favorite?
Not every character was able to be in the movie.
Did anything surprise you to see in the film?
Who do you miss from the original cast? Hands down, Matthew!
They are all excellent actors. I was a drama queen for awhile. Hahaha, I took drama in school. Was fun! I love the classics. I love a well written script but I loved improv too. That’s when you get to fly by the seat of your pants and really be creative.
I got my grass mowed and had a chance to get a lot of my garden cleaned up before the weather turns.
I found some pears I had pushed to the back of the fridge and made myself pear crisp with them - yum.
2. Birds are singing in my garden
3. Attending school event tonight (smart casual) & have something to wear! Something I really like, that I fit into (yay to elastic waists!) & is comfortable.
2. Homemade soup and the warmth that it brings on this damp, rainy day.
3. Ability to do what I’d like to today.
2) Relatives are visiting mom for the next couple of days.
3) Unpacking postponed until relatives leave.
Today is a hard one. Got some not so good news last night (everything's fine with dad but his condition is getting worse) so It was rather hard to not worry about him.
* My hydrangeas are still blooming & beautiful
* Cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees & finches at the feeders this morning
1. Spending time with my kids.
2. My very understanding husband.
3. Having two wonderful sitters who stay with my mom so I can have time for my family.
I love your screen name. I am fascinated by polar bears. We have a Great Pyrenees named Bella, nicknamed polar bellybutton, as she is huge & looks like a big white bear who wants its belly rubbed.
I am thankful for
* my counselor
* my pets
* the beauty which is everywhere if I just slowdown & look around me
it wasnt hard to imagine nick out there with me in the future .
" patience old man "
usually darks arent real thirst ' quench - ey ' .
2) Had vegan sloppy joes and mac and cheese last night for supper.
3) Dogs.
My 3 good things for today:
1. My little poodle Sandy. Her fur is the beautiful color of sand.
2. Trying out a new deep dish pizza recipe I saw on Cooks Country.
3. Going to shop for a new outfit for a wedding this weekend.
fortunately i just learned that theres a colombia outfitters factory outlet store about 45 minutes away . maybe tomorrow i'll go see .
its raining buckets full here today .
ive never minded outfitting myself well for the job at hand . it makes a person look like theyre paying attention instead of daily fighting the same ( correctable ) things .
good day so far . just put on my rib tips / egg noodles to warm up and cracked one of these btchn beers .
We bought her a new TV as the one that had been in her room from a previous resident finally failed.
We set up the TV but couldn't completely because of cable issues. My husband will go back tomorrow to see if it is a battery issue. So #3 is not a complete good thing but we tried.
I did not complain much about how messy her room was. She loves magazines and newspapers but it gets out of control. In her 2 room unit I could barely sit down and she has a love seat as well as chairs.
My daughter saved most of the money for her new laptop. She only works part time while in school. So we pitched in and she bought it today from the Apple store.
Had a nice lunch with our daughter.
Tell us about the wedding. I love to hear how people met and their wedding. Interesting to hear.
My husband is opposite of me! We balance each other though.
Three things about hubby and me 😊. We were young, students.
He was the handsome bartender with the gorgeous black hair and dark eyes.
He’s Italian.
I was the waitress. Italian restaurant, uptown New Orleans. I noticed him immediately but didn’t let him know that I did. I worked my butt off at that place. We were slammed every weekend. He stayed busy making drinks so I had no idea if he noticed me when I ordered drinks for my customers.
He did notice me! He asked me out! His best friend was sitting at the bar and asked me out first, ‘pretty boy’ blonde. Not at all my type! Turned him down quickly! The piano player at the restaurant was always asking me out. He was fun but I had my eye on the great looking bartender studying to be an engineer. Married 41 years now 😊.
1.) This weekend had the earmarks of becoming Another Dysfunctional Family Boondoggle. And in a way, it was. BUT my household stayed firmly removed - despite pressure to jump in and save the day. We’re learning! Oh yes we are. 😃
2.) My guy & I are spending the afternoon with our core group of friends. We love and support each other - without judgement. We laugh uproariously. And we do not see each other often enough. Today is a welcome gift. 💗
3.) I am taking a desperately needed break from work this week. Using 1.5 days of PTO to reset a little bit. 🤔🛀👍🏼
im not going to socialize whatsoever with people who i know to be the prime murder suspects . i think its a disservice to jake and the process of justice .
a judge kicked open a door between the kid and i but i think he knew i wasnt ready to step thru it yet . im a real one tracker -- justice for my son ( and the kid ) , and then i will comply with anything asked of me .
