1. A morning email from FishNFla ...
... with a cute story about his kids :grouphug:

Playing frisbee in the falling snow this evening with HippieDogHank.

Finding the perfect photo frame - on clearance - for HippieKid's orchestra pic.

I'm easy to please.


:hippie:

35. Oh Yes,
As a manager I worked a variety of shifts, the best is early morning to quitting 4 or 5p. Congratulations! I am happy for you.

5. My boyfriend picked up my engagement ring from the store
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 10:31 PM by NGU
It finally got sized but I won't get it until next week. He is teasing with me by telling me how pretty it is, but I love him anyway. He is a sweetie.

7. George Will.
Can you believe it?

Just a few of the comments he made about the inauguration:

military operation
unworthy
not attractive
banana republic

14. be sure to look out your window for flying pigs
It's hard to imagine Will saying anything negative about King George. Did it make you question your own ears???

20. The pigs wave as they fly past.
No, I didn't question my ears. This was loud and clear, no mistake. It made me instantly happy. :)

I had a wonderful time watching the inauguration today. Maybe I was lucky, and picked the right channel, but there were so many negative things said by so many people. And it is so nice to be able to say, "George Will said..." and repeat all those negative things. :)

26. That did it for me.
Hearing * and “banana republic” in proximity to each other on the air was priceless and wonderful.

25. Honestly right now I am " blank " .
It should be me keeping his spirits high but its him keeping my spirits high . This month came way too fast . I know the date that he was leaving - at first I did not want to know but the other night over the phone I just asked and he told me and I just cried but I have to keep hope to survive . I trust that his friends and his unit has his back - and I know this is true . I won't share his unit info for security reasons . This is the biggest test of my life ...

12. Seeing the protesters turning their backs on Bush. Wasn't happy
obviously that King George was coronated, but seeing all those brave guys and gals out there protesting (I couldn't make it) made me smile. Thanks to all the DU'ers who were able to go.

22. these are a few of my favorite things (today):
- Going home early from my first day of Physics lab.

- Watching my roommate's DVD of Napoleon Dynamite. Pretty goofy stuff.

- Listening to mp3's I just downloaded from eMusic by an old '80s alt-rock band called Dumptruck.

- Waiting for my big fat paycheck from working extra days during winter break.

- Realizing that the fight to take back our country has just started, and feeling kind of excited about it, truthfully.

23. Not watching any TV.... vicodin.... my dog... and the realization
that no matter how much money they spend on this crap, they can't really enjoy it the way it is.
I am sure there were moments where ** had some terror that he was gonna be dragged out and beaten to death.

And that thought keeps me happy.

29. Talking to my husband 1,000 miles away
Petting my purring cats.

Free pizza and Pepsi at my journal meeting.

Getting a little something accomplished in the Elder Clinic.

Knowing that there are thousands of Americans who are as angry and miserable about today as I am.

36. Many small things
the sound of wind in the trees, how soft the sky looked all cloudy, the electric blue of my daughter's eyes as she talked to me, the music my husband found on the radio and played for me, and the way he stroked my back as I went to sleep.

A good day.
