This N That

It's amazing how just when I'm feeling down, someone will do something nice for me. I think I have some of the best friends (and they do know who they are.) Not only do they know when I need a pick me up, they don't mind when I get a little snippy. Not that I am snippy, but we all have our days. I just hope that I return the favor when needed.

I think I need a vacation. I know I went to Florida, but that wasn't a vacation, even though I did enjoy the trip. I'm ready to get away from work for a few days and just relax. I'd even like to come up to Canada for chunky dunking in the winter, sista.

Rainy day finds

I woke up this morning at 5:30 to rain pouring down. In fact, the rain woke me up...I don't get up that early. It has rained all day. The streets are flooded and I think I have a lake in my yard. I worked until 7:15 tonight and on the way home decided to stop at Lowe's to get some advice on whether I should put sealant on my new wood laminate floor. I shouldn't. Anyway, there were rugs on clearance. I saw a beautiful rug that would look so good on the living room floor, but it had no price tag. So, after checking it out and deciding how much I would be willing to pay, I asked the worker how much it was. He checked and told me $34.00. Talk about the buy of the century! I didn't even hesitate to tell him I wanted it. Now, I need to take a picture of it so my far away (Canada and New Mexico) friends can see it. The rest of you need to come visit me and see it for yourselves. Shopping in the rain is fun.

Happiness

Happiness is...seeing Dharma, the cutest little girl I know;
having Lauren, the next cutest girl I know, tell me she wants to live with me;
watching a judge grant an adoption;
knowing that I have helped a child find happiness;
being with friends.
