What's making you happy today? - Page 494

Where you headed?

Sundae · 08-26-2011, 07:52 AM

Saying goodbye to your holiday home?

If you're ever visiting rellies-in-law in High Wycombe do let me know.
I'd be happy to hop on a bus just to shake hands and have a photo op, even if you're too pushed for time for anything else.

I was able to eat applesauce today for the first time in 15 years.

It was tasty.

Clodfobble · 08-26-2011, 06:06 PM

Hooray applesauce!

I am happy because in the face of pending evacuation orders, our doctor's NY office staff worked like lightning to send out our prescription orders (and presumably everyone else's) before running out the door.

I swimmed! In my pool! Well kinda mine.

And I'm still pumped about Hebe's swim team experience and the whole high school thing seems to be coming together. We bought the homecoming dance ticket and class shirt and she's also decided to go the the homecoming dance of the school she is zoned for with her off-season swim team buddies, and she might even go to the homecoming game. She told me not to bother to buy her a pass for the home games/meets because she wouldn't go to enough, but I forced her and 24 hours later she's happy I did

I love this thread! Just reading why other people are happy makes me happy!

Phyllis and the Magic Community Minibus turned up unexpectedly to take us to a party 20 miles away so I didn't have to drive and could have a wee drinkie! Mahvellous!

monster · 08-26-2011, 07:38 PM

The Magic Community Minibus? Were roundabouts involved? Dougal? Brian?

ZenGum · 08-26-2011, 08:25 PM

Acid?

monster · 08-26-2011, 09:00 PM

that too....

limey · 08-27-2011, 05:52 AM

It was a bit like that - there were the Gay Gordons, the Dashing White Sargeant, a couple of lovely songs sung by Mairi McInnes, fab food, and all around the bloomin' Heather (she was retiring). The bus is yellow and pumpkin like.

Having a hurricane cleaning party with offspring. Getting rid of a bunch of crap that was just taking up much needed space. Basement looks better than it has in years.

plthijinx · 08-27-2011, 05:05 PM

SWEET! i'm SO there!!!!!! yeahuh. i'm excited!

Griff · 08-28-2011, 04:11 PM

Again with the mountain biking... We rode last night to avoid Irene. It was fantastic, we had to push it to get done before total darkness. We just flew down the trails in the slackening light all senses on. It was just so cool.

monster · 08-29-2011, 07:38 PM

My gardening/weeding business/whatever is going well. Both clients have paid me, I have more owed, and today my second client recommended me to her boss. And it's only day 5. I get to do something I enjoy, be my own boss and get paid for it. It ain't a PhD salary, but I name my hours, my clients are word-of-mouth, and I might make enough to pay for the boys' hockey before the season disappears under the snow. Or at least for one of them.
