What's making you happy today? - Page 166

The winter residents of the lake - pelicans, herons, cormorants, grebes (?), egrets, and coots - are returning. Nothing starts my day better than a flotilla of pelicans cruising by.

Flotilla? Is that like a tortilla?

Heh. That sounds fantastic. I love egrets. People think I'm silly for it too. I really wish I lived on a lake.

[sinatra]♫ Oh yes, I've had egrets. But then again, too few to mention.[/sinatra]

Going to see Stomp this weekend, with my mom and sis-in-law and nieces. I've seen it before, but it's going to be even more fun watching the nieces reactions!

Ooohhh, I just thought of something: this college rarely ever closes for weather reasons, yet I see the college where I'll be working closing a lot for weather reasons.

Heeheee, already planning my days off!

classicman · 10-13-2008, 01:20 PM

Sleepin in, warm bed....hot chocolate... hmm

I never get that.

Shawnee123 · 10-13-2008, 01:25 PM

Down comforter, blizzard outside, television, computer games...

One more for the "pro" column!

Treasenuak · 10-13-2008, 03:54 PM

Big fuzzy throw blanket, hot tea, a good book... damn, I miss winters in Western NY. Here, there's a dusting of snow on the road, everything shuts down. Up there, it takes at LEAST three feet of snow for people to even CONSIDER closing roads/schools/businesses!!

A couple of things that made me happy today (in between the things causing irritation or dismay):

The sound of Pilau eating...munch, munch, crunch,crunch *scraping of bowl across floor* crunch, crunch, munch, munch. Ends on a burp.

A tasty meal: baked potato with butter and tuna/mayo mix with chopped spring onion and chilli.

The moment when I decided I wasn't doing any more work and was just going to chill and watch TV.

*smiles* it really is the little things.
