What's making you happy today?

[Fran Kubelik]

I am happy because the sun is shining and because I have the most wonderful and supportive family.

Oh, and I am listening to really good music.

So what makes you happy today?

[Shell Beau]

1. Well it is Thursday so that is good.

I get to feel my little one move and kick around in my belly. That always makes me happy.

[Fran Kubelik]

4. You're pregnant??

Oh WOW!! Yay for you!! :hug:

[Shell Beau]

9. Yay for me!! Almost 7 months along with little Bella Rose!

Thanks!

[My Good Babushka]

50. yay! Congratulations! Not much longer now!

And better you than me, sister.

[madinmaryland]

53. YES!

I posted a thread this morning and got little response. A small step, but one that hopefully will lead to EQUAL RIGHTS!

[PeaceNikki]

3. The B-52's new album is making me smile.

It's just one of those general "feel good" kinda days for me. I like these kinda days. :)

[Fran Kubelik]

6. I'm listening to The Pretenders Back On The Chain Gang right now

...and really glad I got off the chain gang. :D

[PeaceNikki]

10. Niiice!!

:D

[suninvited]

5. Everyone in the office

left to go to a big steak cookout, and left me all alone almost all day so far.

[ohiosmith]

7. In a few hours I will be officially retired. Again.

[datasuspect]

8. being blissfully oblivious to current events

shrouded in my magical bubble of delusion

[terrya]

11. I have good health, a great family, amazing friends, the most beautiful man as my partner...

Those blessings make me pretty happy.

[Shell Beau]

12. No, I have the most beautiful man as my partner!!!!!

:P ;)

[Fran Kubelik]

46. aw

:hug:

[SarahB]

54. Me too.

Life is good there. :)

[Fox Mulder]

13. The song I'm listening to right now.

I love it.

[Zuiderelle]

14. Wii Fit is making me happy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. is it any good? i am tempted to get one

[Zuiderelle]

20. It's fantastic! I've always been bad about keeping track of my progress

and keeping interested in routines. This does it for you automatically. The yoga, strength and aerobics parts are great, and the balances games are fun.

I LOVE it! I've had it for only three days, but it's really fantastic for anyone who finds it hard to motivate to do these kinds of exercises.

[AlCzervik]

17. i almost bought that on Saturday, so it's worth getting, yes?

[Zuiderelle]

21. A real bargain for the price. An electronic scale alone would cost half the price at least.

And this has SOOOOO much more.

[AlCzervik]

22. you've convinced me, i'm really bored with my current routine.

so bored that i joined my daughter at her kick boxing class which is an excellent work out but i don't see me doing it long term or frequently, like once a week. Yoga does interest me though.

[Zuiderelle]

26. The yoga part is amazing, because it is always tracking your center of balance.

More than a yoga instructor or you alone could ever do. The Balance board forces you to maintain appropriate positions and gain strength and balance. I can't say enough about it. I'm a techno/gadget geek, and I'm absolutely amazed at the technology and capabilities of this thing.

[Shell Beau]

18. That is on the agenda to purchase! That along with Mario Kart and

Guitar Hero-Aerosmith!!!!

[Zuiderelle]

23. Mario Kart's ok. I'm really drawn to the more physical games though.

But Mario kart is fun if I just feel like sitting and driving :)

[AlCzervik]

25. have you tried the boxing yet? I bought another Nunchuk so i could play it

and it's a good work out and hella fun.

[Zuiderelle]

27. My partner has, and yeah, it definitely looks like a good work out.

She wants me to get another nunchuk so that she can pretend to beat up on her boss by creating a Mii that looks like her and making me box with it. :)

[AlCzervik]

29. my Mii looks demonic, it freaks out my husband and daughter which is exactly what

i was going for.

[fight4my3sons]

36. me too

my dad got it for my birthday last weekend. Now if I could just get near it - the little boys like to use it too!

[stuntcat]

15. the tomatoes out there -->

I'm putting the cages on them.. like 20 fat plants :headbang: I'll have to give tomatoes away to the neighbors.
And I'm listening to the Carpenters.

+ = :D

[Finn Polke]

19. I just ordered a pizza

Double green peppers.

[BarenakedLady]

24. The sun is shining.

Which means my garden is getting sun.

I can't forget to water it this afternoon though.

[Magrittes Pipe]

28. Nothing.

I'm at work, the Brewers are getting their asses kicked, the weather is shitty, I'm tired and don't feel well, I'm broke, I have to move because the landlord is selling the house, and I'm generally disrespected.

[Blue-Jay]

30. Brewers?

Is that even a team?

The ghost of Joe Nuxhall will haunt you forever. I will crap on your porch in the shape of Marty Brennamen's toupee, set it on fire, and hire Pedro Bourbon to throw eggs at your car.

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. Do you remember Johnny Bench's baseball show for kids?

What was it called, "The Baseball Bunch?"

Bench hosted, and for some reason, the San Diego Chicken (who, IIRC, has nothing to do with Cincinnati Reds baseball) was always there. And they were teaching kids how to play ball. It was AWESOME!

[Blue-Jay]

33. Hell yes I remember that!

Didn't Tommy Lasorda play a character called the Wizard (or something like that)?

[Magrittes Pipe]

34. The Dugout Wizard!

[Blue-Jay]

40. I can't find a pic of him in that silly turban that he wore.

Shit. Maybe it's just me, but baseball was a lot more fun when I was 7-13 years old.

We used to emulate the crazy batting stances of the popular players when I was in Little League. (American Fence, motherfucker!): Morgan's weird chicken-flap, Rose's crouch, Stargell's odd batting wind-up... I remember a kid trying to do the Kent Tekulve sidearm pitch, and smacking me in the head with the ball. His coach almost had a coronary screaming at him for "screwing around".

Fuck. I wish I loved baseball the way I used to. I still love the game; I just hate MLB.

EDIT: On topic - Remembering baseball when I was a kid makes me happy.

[redqueen]

38. ...

:hug:

[MAGICBULLET]

32. I love sweet soul and it's making me happier

[otherlander]

35. My garden

and some awesome bread from Panera's... it's got sundried tomatoes and basil in it. :9

[redqueen]

37. Knowing I have the bestest best friend I could ever have dared to hope for...

... knowing that a present from that friend is likely winging it's way to me right now,

... knowing that my daughters both got straight A's for their final semesters,

... knowing that overall... things tend to work out as they should. :)

[Blue-Jay]

41. Oh...... I kind of forgot to send that to you.

[redqueen]

42. ...

:cry:

[fight4my3sons]

39. my boys

and the sunny weather

[TrogL]

43. My cow-orkers are losing it

Yesterday was my day for insanity, which carried over into today but now I've got my issues sorted out for the most part.

All hell just broke loose and it's not my stuff.

[sammytko]

44. Homegrown tomatoes

Picked the first ones of the season this morning.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

45. I've barely looked at GD:P today.

Thus my blood pressure is much lower.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. I got another job offer today and tomorrow is the last day at my

oh.so.shitty. part. time. job. where my boss turned out to be one hella two-faced c*nt of a bitch.

fuck her ...color me GONE GONE GONE :bounce:


and OH YEAH...I get to spend all week-end deciding which job offer to accept :woohoo:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

48. All in all, it's been a good day

I had an enjoyable lunch with a friend

When I came home, my clearance sale VCR tapes of the original Forsyte Saga (from 1969) and Sergeant Cribb (from Mystery in the 1970s) had come in the mail. This is great timing, because my local PBS station is about to embark on two weeks of the dreaded Pledge Drive.

In addition, some summer clothes I had ordered were delivered today.

On top of that, I enjoy what I'm working on right now.

This really is a remarkably good day. :7

[Tikki]

49. Lakers won....

on to meet the Celtics I hope.


Tikki

[My Good Babushka]

51. Yay! The yarn I ordered was delivered today

I'm getting out my needles.

[grannylib]

52. Today, I am happy because Sarahbellum is on her way home

for the weekend, and I turned in an application for a job that has my name written all over it; it closes for applications tomorrow, so I am hoping to hear about interviews next week...
AND the grandkids are supposed to be coming for the weekend too :-)
And it's not hailing (yet).

[madinmaryland]

55. My penis.

:shrug:

[tjwmason]

56. I've been given a very decent pay-rise

and it's been back-dated for 18 months. :bounce:

Sorry to be so mercenary, on a better note I'm going to be spending most of the week-end with my beloved nephew and niece.

[av8rdave]

57. When I finally get to Cincinnati and the day is done!

[RebelOne]

58. I'm happy because it's Friday. n/t

[In_The_Wind]

59. It's going to be warm enough for me to putter around in my yard,

plant the annuals I picked up several weeks ago, hang out with my old dog (this may be her last summer :cry:) and maybe mow the lawn.


My trike is finally back home with a totally dead battery x( and in need of an inspection before I can ride it legally. :bounce: But :bounce::bounce: the important thing is that my Beautiful Beast is home





Uh yeah ... today I get to see an old friend who was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He flew to Costa Rica for the winter and we were afraid we'd never see him again on this earth. He called last night after his flight back! :D
