    Progress! I love to hear that everyone's making progress--Fredwina. Snap. Zen. Forward motion...good.

    And yup. Little kids are the best. It's why I still do my stressful job--I really like those kids. They think everything's interesting. Kids always love seeing our tandem go by. Although come to think of it, most adults do too. There's something about a tandem that just makes people smile.

    Snap- Your signature makes me happy, it makes me laugh. Little kids usually see us for our strengths and love us. I love kids my nieces think I rule the world and am the most beautiful woman alive, they are brilliant.

    Kids are completely in love with bikes and motorcycles. I like that.

    I had to do an "I'm thanksful" turkey for work. I am thankful for my family's health, end of Aggie football season, carbon fiber and sunny days with no wind. They won't get it.

    good morning everyone. I am having 15 more minutes of fame today. I posted a painting I did on a political forum today, and everyone loved it.

    I am beside myself. I couldn't sleep last night. And all because I wanted a picture to hang up in my office of the next president!

    Mimi, I don't think you'll offend anyone if you post a link! I'd love to see your painting.

    LOL- I don't have kids! But we might have one someday. My parents would probably like a grandkid even though they say they don't care and my big brother is divorced and not dating so it is my burden. My husband's brother and step siblings are filling his parent's homes with plenty of grandkids but his grandmother wants one from our house. Doh!

    Mimi- Your work is beautiful! Giusseppe looks like an old friend we had. He loved to cook and talk. He died last fall, all the world lost a friend.

    Mimi does some amazing work.

    I especially love her landscapes & her whimsy kitties.

    And that Obama portrait is really something special.

    urgh

    Mimi-cool painting!

    I'm really really annoyed I have no idea if i slept some funny way or bumped my neck or it's just from not using my core as much but the dizzy spells have returned. I had BPV (there's an old thread in the health section somewhere about it) and the exercise my dr provided made it disappear. I guess the particles in my brain settled and all ok.

    Yesterday, I got out of bed my normal way & found the whole room spinning. That's how it was last time..

    Hopefully the massage i'm booked in for today (Subi Sports Massage) will knead some of the kinks out of my arms, neck & back.

    Arhgh

    Weird CC, we must be connected somehow, I had a BPV episode at my desk today. Haven't had one in years!
