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)
fortunately i just learned that theres a colombia outfitters factory outlet store about 45 minutes away . maybe tomorrow i'll go see .
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.
2) Had vegan sloppy joes and mac and cheese last night for supper.
3) Dogs.
usually darks arent real thirst ' quench - ey ' .
it wasnt hard to imagine nick out there with me in the future .
" patience old man "
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
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.
* My hydrangeas are still blooming & beautiful
* Cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees & finches at the feeders this morning
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.
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. 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.
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.
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 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 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 .
Pot roast, mashed potatoes & carrots for supper
5 of 6 house plants in bloom
2) American Film Institute countdown specials.
3) Very mild outside, no wind or cold.
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.
comp time .
i just quit viasat internet because my local power company lit me up with high speed fiber . many customers of viasat complained that viasat grabbed 300 bucks from their checking even after they properly returned the leased equipment . my bank terminated my existing payment method so that doesnt happen . better luck next time -- buttholes -- .
great day at work . i was supposed to stock a big firewood shed for the weekend campers but i got sidetracked by fixing the poorly designed doors . enough firewood got stocked but the doors i fixed were a pet peeve of some damn key employees . a bit of dirty politics i would agree but nobody gets into a pissing contest with influential / key employees .
My 3 good things for today:
It's FRIDAY. My aunt will stay home and watch my mom so I only have to spend a couple of hours taking her out today.
I'm going to cook a new dish I saw on TV couple of days ago, a tortilla soup with flanken short ribs.
The kids and I got the Halloween decorations up in the front yard. Looks fun and festive not scary and ready for little trick or treaters.
2. Went to lunch with a couple of friends who have retired early. Trying to get a read on how women my age are liking early retirement.
3. Went shopping and picked up a few things for my condo.
2) comfortable sweat pants
3) this post which helped me reflect and realize how much I’m hurting right now (instead of trying to block it out)
2) My Vacuum cleaner belt came so I can start vacuuming the house again.
3) I fell in love with Oreo thins, the mint creme ones. Maybe this will be a staple in my house.
It's not big things but small things and sometimes the smallest good things can make a big difference in your life.
Our high temp in New Orleans today is 82.
Friend invited me to a Halloween party
Rode 30 minutes on my exercise bike
Sat outside and listened to the birds sing in my backyard 😊
I’m breaking the rules by adding one more thing listed to my three. It’s my birthday month. Birthday is coming up soon! I want a chocolate cake!
