    What made you smile today?

    Last month I was a catering volunteer on the NSW Big Ride (a 9 day supported camping/cycling holiday). Today I recieved a letter from my team leader.

    "Dear Louise,
    I would like to thank you for being part of the catering team. It is good as team leader to know that when I ask you to do something I don't ever think of it again.
    The team did a great job in often difficult and trying situations, and the camaraderie and good humour was noted by many.
    Your commitment and support was much appreciated.
    regards,
    Faye"

    I just had to smile when I read the letter.
    I've been a catering volunteer on the event for the past 6 years, and it's nice to know that people appreciate your efforts sometimes.

    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!!!!

    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!
