What brought you happiness today?

[Breeze54]

I was in a bad mood today. Lots of physical issue's to deal with and I just wanted to go in the store, get what I wanted and get out.... fast! You must know the drill but as I approached the door, this guy, about 22 years old, with multiple earrings and tattoo's sped up his walk to the store's door and held the door open for me.... and when I thanked him for holding the door open, he said. "You're Welcome." How cool is that?! :)

[NightWatcher]

1. I got to go to a baseball game with my dad.

it was very cool. I miss the old man.

[Breeze54]

6. That's nice!

I regret the times that my Dad bought us tickets to the Red Sox games and I was 13 and 'just didn't want to be there" and now... I wish I could be there so many times. I didn't know then, what I know now. :(

[flvegan]

2. Starting a vicious rumor about Midlo.

[Breeze54]

10. Oh you!! You and Midlo freak the rest of us out!!

:P

[Dr. Strange]

48. Shame on you.

Starting rumors about pregnant women is NOT cool.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

3. A 4-mile walk around the lake listening to good tunes. (n/t)

[LeftyMom]

4. I took my kid to the park and we flew kites.

The wind was a bit too gusty for that, so after a bit we got back in the car to go buy him a skateboard helmet, and he sang along with a bunch of old hardcore. My cell phone rang and it was somebody scheduling me for a job interview.

I'm in a pretty darned good mood after all of that.

[Maccagirl]

64. I'm so happy for you LeftyMom

Best of luck on the interview-and I hope LeftyKid had a great day too.

[BarenakedLady]

5. I got my artwork done on time

to submit to the student art show at school. Hopefully one of the three will get in.

[Inchworm]

20. In and on top

I hope.

:thumbsup:

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

35. Thanks

I hope too. But there were lots of entries. I'm not holding my breath.

[femmocrat]

7. Great question!

We had an inservice day today. I hate inservice days and consider most of them a huge waste of time. At the end of the day, I was looking for a place to "hide out" until dismissal, and happened upon a group of teachers sitting on those huge balance balls in the weight room. We sat around and laughed like a bunch of kids. It was the best part of the entire day.

:)

8. Bubbly customers keep me happy.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. I'm spending the weekend with my son and DIL and I've been playing

with my grandsons aged 2 1/2 years and 10 months. We've had a good time this evening.

[BarenakedLady]

41. Awww

My Daddy used to sing that to me.

[mtowngman]

13. It's very cool

I just read the other day that "no problem" seems to be replacing "your welcome" as the reply to "Thank you"
Today I talked to an old friend and co-worker who I haven't spoken to in over a year. One of many things
that made me happy today.

[Steven_S]

14. Cannolis....

Real life, honest to god, Arthur Avenue cannolis.

[Breeze54]

17. I don't understand what you mean by 'Cannolis' ....

:shrug:

[Steven_S]

23. Behold....

Arthur Ave in the Bronx - nothing quite like it:

[Breeze54]

[Erva]

61. OMG!

I can't get them where I live.......Talk about your internet pron! I did go to the beach in Maine though. It was lovely, but not tasty.

[Swede]

15. I skipped work and bummed around all day.

It was a nice day.

[bluedigger]

16. It was a good day all day!

Went on a site visit to "Gator Road" this morning, came back to the office this afternoon, got a lot accomplished - and did some quality work, as well; just finished dinner and wrestled with the dog on the floor. Life is good!

[Breeze54]

19. Sounds like a great day and Welcome to DU!!

;)

[bluedigger]

26. Thanks Breeze54!

I've actually been around since 2006. I just don't post 100 times a day - I'm really not that interesting!:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Wrong.

*I'm* not intersting. Ask around.


:rofl:

[bluedigger]

46. No...

But you are ubiquitous!:D

[Shell Beau]

18. I can't be in a bad mood when my booger bear smiles at me.

I just can't. It always brings me happiness. Sorry for the sap.

[Breeze54]

21. Awe!!! Soooo cute!!!

:)

[Forkboy]

22. Finding a split 7" record with the Melvins on one side and Patton Oswalt on the other.

How that matchup came to be is beyond my puny human intellect, but both the comedy and the song were great.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. The cute guy at the bank

Invited me out tomorrow night to celebrate his birthday. I go to the bank Mon-Fri for work, so it's not like it's the first time I've ever seen/talked to him.

[Breeze54]

29. Rock it, baby and have a great time!!

:)

[tammywammy]

31. A girlfriend is going to come with me

I have standing plans every Saturday night with friends, so I won't be at the birthday thing too long, maybe an hour. Enough to meet him, friends and such and double check that he's not a total moron/jerk. LOL

[TZ]

27. Had a really nice phone conversation

With BeachBaby...some very funny stuff ....:)

[a kennedy]

30. love the "you're welcome" response....

it's taken me a long time to be able to say that, you're welcome", and it does feel good when saying it.

[Rhythm]

32. Having a funny-face-making contest with my prof's 5-yr-old twins

I had an end-of-semester conference with her, and on Fridays, the PreK program here is out of school. So, the twins were in the office with her, being their silly selves. The boy and i got caught up in a face-making contest for a few minutes that had his sister and their mom cracking up.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Dropping the pit bull off at my husband's package store. That was fucking epic.

[Kali]

56. ...

:wow:





missed the end of that

[rockymountaindem]

34. The Red Sox just beat the Yankees in the bottom of the 11th

Not bad at all.

[Pacifist Patriot]

58. My husband gave up following the game and didn't find out about the win until this morning.

So he started off the day in a good mood.

[elshiva]

38. I started reading "The Way of All Flesh" today.

Only finished the first two chapters, but it's a fun read. So, grateful to all those people who taught me how to read. The best gift in the world. :hug:

[Generic Brad]

39. I handed out 5 pounds of candy

There's nothing like watching 39 people on a Friday afternoon with a sugar rush.

[Lethe]

42. the check that arrived in my mailbox

with my name on it :D

[Lucian]

43. Just knowing that I only have four more months at my crappy job.

Then I go back to college and finally (FINALLY!) start doing what I want to do with my life. :woohoo:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

51. oh. That I were you.

Really nice. Good on You! :fistbump:

[Lucian]

54. Thank you.

:fistbump:

[achtung_circus]

44. A phone call from the GF.

Her sister is in town for a week. They haven't had time alone together in 14 years. They have had meals, family get-togethers, 10 minute sit-downs.

GF called to say she appreciates that I am giving them space to talk and interact.

Apparently I was a big hit on Wednesday night. Do you think some of the conversation might be about me?

Anyway, as a gentleman LOL I had understood this family imperative as soon as I had heard she was coming to visit. Still, it's SOOOO nice to have gotten that call.

[Beam Me Up]

45. looking at the seed pod of a japanese maple (pic)

[XemaSab]

63. They're called samaras

Cool word for a cool feature. :D

[kedrys]

47. Having coffee on the roof terrace in shorts and t-shirt

The weather in Montreal is glorious today. :)

[VMSMI]

49. Thunderstorms.

I love a good thunderstorm, and we're getting them today.

[Sky Masterson]

50. A phone call with a friend.

And the fact that my old job finally cut me a check for the back pay they owed me.
I Text messaged a bit with a friend.
I had a fresh grilled sausage from a German food store that tasted awesome.
That is about it so far.

[Enrique]

52. visted my Mom today

came back with a bunch of food. :-)

[WinkyDink]

53. Finding the perfect toy red squirrel at an antiques show this morning!

[Kool Kitty]

55. Pens just beat the Flyers, and

advance to the second round of the NHL playoffs. Go Pens! This happiness is slightly muted by the fact that I broke a tooth this morning. :grr:

[Pacifist Patriot]

57. Brilliant soccer day in my household. (Warning: Kid Bragging)

My five year old scored 3 goals.

My eight year old scored 3 goals.

My twelve year old who plays keeper made 6 fantastic saves and his team won 5-2.

My sister and I filled water balloons and let our kids have at it before they went skinny dipping in our pool. It's a good four weeks before it's warm enough for pool season for me, but there is no accounting for 5-8 year old bodies I guess.

My husband is out playing soccer right now leaving me in peace to watch a tape delay of Aston Villa's match with Bolton. The only thing that didn't make it a perfect soccer day was their draw with Bolton instead of a win. The club really could have used those two extra points.

I've also stolen a bite of what my husband is making for dinner and it is going to be awesome!

Oh, and the eight year old just left for a sleepover with his cousin.

So besides being fairly disgusted with the Board of Trustees that employees me, I'd say it has been an utterly fabulous day.

[XemaSab]

59. My dog was after something in the bushes

and I tag-teamed whatever it was with her.

It turned out to be a MONSTER alligator lizard, and it's now hanging out on the kitchen table so I can show it to the fam. :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

60. There was this totally hilarious thread I woke up to this morning that got deleted.

:rofl:

That brought me a lot of happiness.

[trof]

62. Sitting on the dock with a drink and Miz t.

Do it almost every evening when weather permits.
Which is almost always.
We talk about all kinds of stuff.
:-)

[sniffa]

65. GROW UP6

[miss_american_pie]

66. Work was not hell

For the first Saturday in a long time.

And it's 87 degrees.

And the Pens won.

:hi:

[tigereye]

67. my husband's 50th birthday party, seeing a 6 week old new baby, and

eating great food with many dear friends!
