What made you smile today?

[KnottedYet]

I smiled (and smiled and SMILED) today because my boss said I don't have to be nice anymore to the major b*tch who has been utterly obsessed with me for TWO years. Boss says I can tell her to "f*ck off"!

Yeah, baby!!!!

[MomOnBike]

I smiled today 'cause I talked to Da Boss & she said I could take a week off to help my daughter move from Minneapolis to Seattle.

Oh boy! I get to drive half-way across the country! With an over-stressed cat! Then drive home by myself!

I need my head examined.

My kitten (she will be year old tomorrow) Twister made me smile today. She crawled into the printer in an attempt to catch "that thing" that was moving back and forth. She stuck with it until the print job finished then curled up on the printer tray and took a nap (it is tough work hunting a printer cartridge).

I was cranking up a 13 grade hill. My boss lives down the street from me, and he saw me riding up it very *VERY* slowly. he pulls over, and as I pass his car, he leans out the car, pumps his fist up and down, and says, "LET'S GO!! LET'S GO!! KEEP IT UP!! YOU CAN DO IT!!"

i nearly fell over from surprise. then i tried to pick up the pace to about 5 mph. hah.

You can do it Mom! The vet will sell you tranquilizers, and that made a world of difference for our two crazed monsters! We crated them with a small cat box, which kept them contained pretty well during the ride.

Made me smile today: a hill that my new bike could climb in two rest stops today, instead of six on my old bike last time I rode that hill! What a good way to deal with computer frustration!

My 14 month old daughter has learned to give kisses and while I was laying on the floor reading the new cycling magazine, she kissed me butt!

What made me smile today:

Actually it was last night. I just got back from a short business trip to Okinawa and had gotten an early flight home. I was supposed to arrive at 945pm but got in at 5pm instead. I came home and vegged. Twice someone came to my door (not usually something that happens, and I was quite annoyed because I was chilling before bed). First it was for a newspaper. Ugh.

But second was my husband! He had come home early from a short deployment and surprised me! 2 days early! And he would have beaten me home if I hadn't gotten the earlier flight.

Needless to say I bounced around the room for about 10 minutes before he could get a hug in.

*all smiles*

Mountainchick wins!

My son made me smile today when he said I had to be the best mom ever.

Today I enjoyed many smiles while working as a volunteer for a kids triathlon in Austin.

We had a terrible storm last night and a cold front blew into town and dropped the temps into the 40's (or lower) this morning with the wind still blowing 20-30 mph. at race time. Not the best weather for a kids tri. However, the kids were amazing and really into the race.

I was working in the transition area and helped a few kids pull on shirts over their wet skin (you know how it bunches up on your shoulder blades and refuses to move?) tied a few laces, buckled some helmets, and sent them in the right direction while cheering them on their way.

There was this one girl that was barely 6, or turning 6 before the end of the year, and rode the tiniest of bikes with training wheels. She made me smile. I loved watching her ride bravely away on that small bike. She was determined and needed only a small amount of help while in transition and she never once complained about being cold, but didn't object when her parents insisted that I zip up her jacket.

I want to grow up and be just like her!

I had to smile about our new dog Yukon

She loves food-the fridge & pantry seem to be places she knows well- but is a bit fat so lots of walkies & exercise for her. She is a very quiet dog & doesn't bark.

Her tail wags a mile a minute and reminds me of a windshield wiper! She doesn't like rain much.

We've no idea wy the last person took her to the dog refuge-She's a beautiful dog.


Oh I almost forgot-I met up with our group at the halfway point of the hill ride we do & on my way home after leaving the group, I met another cyclist. She drafted off me for a bit & then we cycled side by side. Turns out she had a little one a year ago & was just getting back into biking. We live near eachother & i've promised to try and meet up!

If nothing else you can take them yourself.



I drove a car in to work today for the first time. As in - I got my drivers licence 3 weeks ago and I was alone in the car for the first time in my life. Why people DO this?! The traffic! The stress! The lights! The *!"#¤% parking!

But I'll start smiling pretty soon.

Nice thread, enzed, and good tip on giving praise where it's deserved!
