Call for Happy Things, again.

What the frick? I've been following earthsong for the last couple weeks, I didn't realise that essay was by the same person :s

She didn't use as many smilies for a start.

[Chimera]

No, it's not by the same person. But in her website I found a banner for Earthsong and the art intrigued me enough to click on it and go to the website. Then I was hooked.

I made pies! Pie crusts and all. One cherry, one apple. They turned out so well. Yay!
Instead of feeling all sorry for myself not being home for Thanksgiving, I decided to make pies. Now I can bring one to the dinner that my ward's 1st councilor is hosting at his house for all us Thanksgiving "orphans." Cool.

[stacer]

You are about to have the BEST Thanksgiving ever. The Nelsons are AWESOME.

[Shrain]

Thanks! I am totally looking forward to it.
But how's work coming on that editing project? Almost done?

[stacer]

Nope. I'll continue working on it over the weekend. I'm putting it aside tonight and vegging, though. Spending quality time with the kitty. Dang, I was going to see Serenity this week and I forgot. Maybe I'll do that for a matinee tomorrow, if they're open on Thanksgiving.

I am very excited that my husband just signed a contract with IHC to begin working at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in July 2006. Horray! A real job!

Nope. ... I'm putting it aside tonight and vegging, though. . . . Dang, I was going to see Serenity this week and I forgot. Maybe I'll do that for a matinee tomorrow, if they're open on Thanksgiving.

Darn. Well, at least you can take a well-deserved break today. It's funny you should mention Serenity becuase, on the advice of one of my friends, I rented Firefly Disc 1 from Netflix and loved it! Man, I can't believe I'd never seen it. Well, okay, I didn't have cable when it was on the air, and the cable I have now doesn't include the sci fi channel.  
But now that I've seen the first 3 episodes, I can't wait to see the rest--few though they may be. Of course, I am rather grumpy to learn that there were only 14 episodes, 3 of which never aired.   Hmmph. Stupid TV execs!! Anyway, I'm going to watch Serenity as soon as I've seen all the TV episodes. Goodie!!
Oh, and I'm also happy because not only did my homemade pies turn out great, but I successfully uploaded the pic onto snapfish. Don't they look yummy?

Plus, I had an interesting porch guest this morning when I went out back to take the trash out. I was about to open my screen door when I noticed the fattest racoon I've ever seen! Of course, I've only seen maybe two or three. Anyway, this porky racoon (I call him the Thanksgiving Bandit) was just sitting there on the rug, which of course made me let out a scream.
He put up his head and just blinked at me as if I should've known he'd taken up residence on my back porch. By the look of him, he must've eaten a whole turkey yesterday.

That looks like a very-well-prepared-for-winter *and* pregnant she-racoon, to me.

[fuzzyoctopus]

But adorable.  The "wipe your paws" mat is almost too great to be not posed.

Ahhh, yes, now -that's- a likely explanation. Hadn't considered that my visitor might be an expectant mum.

Yeah, I loved that I got the mat in the picture with all the words nice 'n' visible.

I may... with the emphasis on MAY have the new 10am to 6pm weekly watch...

which would rock! Its coming up in the middle of December!!!

I'm happy because it's Black Friday, 20 degrees outside, and I don't have to work retail.    I don't even have to leave the house.  I have the internet so should I even desire to shop, I can do it from here - in bed, under three blankets.  
And the two dogs are curled up on the bed next to me and dang it we're warm and cuddly and there are leftovers in the fridge and life is pretty good.

Im happy because I got these things for my birthday

A Blue Snowball USB condenser Mic
Star Wars Battlefront II
The Serenity shooting script and collected movie book
A Carving Knife and Fork
and a boatload of books!

[Tink]

I'm happy because we had a good early morning Black Friday today. We got a cable modem for $20 after rebates, a free paper shredder after rebates, a 512 mb flashdrive for $10 after rebates, 1/2 off pillows and sheets and towels, and jeans for $15. It was great. I know a lot of people don't like to get up early to shop on Black Friday (and deal with the crowds and such) and I say great! I wish there were more like you. It leaves all the good stuff for the early risers (I got up at 4 a.m.!). Yeah!

So overall a good day (just as a total, I spent $280 and after rebates I'll have only spent $175. Better get those rebates in!)
