2. Friend coming out of her depression
3. Forehead kisses from a sleepy puppy

4. Unable to make full garden transformation in the 1/2 hour it takes on TV
5. Seemingly endless waiting for verdict on particularly desirous freelance gig

Right now (lateish in the day) it's about 68 I think, but the past few days were quite hot

keeping in mind that it had been very "cold" (low 60s/high 50s) before then so I think I have no tolerance anymore!

I admire/love your optimism, Rainwood! Thinking of positives is always the best thing to do!

NEW IDEA

Put your hates/dislikes first, and your loves/likes SECOND.

Always good to end on an uplifting, positive note

Yup, new sparkly! Well, new to me

. No jewelry project--it came as a total surprise this past weekend after a trip to my parents'' safe deposit box. I am going to post a thread about it soon!

 

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Kitty

You were totally spying on me this morning, weren''t you?!

Co-counsel had a habit of underlining the comas after the case names in his citations. Guess who fixed ''em all 20 min before turn-in time?? ...Not that my cites are anything to write home about

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Loving
1) the SD weather (it is probably in the mid 70''s)
2) Coffee
3) My cats
4) The tax refund that is coming to me

2) The fact that my BF is unemployed
3) That there is a LDR in my future
4) That my sister''s car was stolen
5) Easter Sunday call

Aaack, thinking about underlining commas makes me hyperventilate a little bit! If you join law review, you will reach a new level of citation/punctuation/editing neurosis

.

P.S. 50 pages of property reading is just plain mean.

 

[Italiahaircolor]

LOVE
1. We booked our dinner in the sky for our upcoming Vegas trip
2. Our new puppy...and our old men too. Dogs make me so happy.
3. Smoking! Yep, I said it. I started back up...and darn it even tho I shouldn't, I missed it so much.
4. Being home from work at a reasonable hour when the sun is out.
5. Reading my new Twilight book (soooo good!)

2. The lemon drop DH made me when I got home
3. The way my puplet (my dog) smiles at me like I''m his favorite person in the world
4. The dogwood tree that we need to plant that is blooming with pink flowers. I love dogwoods.

1. The thought of getting up early to drive 2 hrs to a job site
2. The dust on the furniture I just dusted two days ago
3. How much my haircut and color cost.
4. I haven''t seen my nieced in months and just saw new pics on Facebook. I miss them and they are getting sooo big (13 mos and 7 mos)
5. It''s cold here. At least to me. Since I was teased with 70 degree weather on Saturday.

 

[rainwood]

Kittybean & Pilsn - The first thing I thought was OF COURSE you don''t underline commas in citations! Ever! And not think it was weird to consider that important. That''s what law review does for you even 30 years later. Plus, make you a much better writer. With the minutiae comes the important stuff.

 

[rainwood]

It should be ''makes'' you a much better writer. Ack! I hate grammar errors even in my postings. That''s another gift from law review.

 

[Tuckins1]

Loving-
1. Mr. Tuckins
2. My 50 inch plasma
3. Biggest Loser!!!!!
4. Chocolate cupcakes

2. Cold weather and snow in April!

Me too. They make me actually feel a little sick. (And crazy, actually.)

So So So sorry to hear about your four "hates" dear. I''ve just sent up a prayer for your DH and your Mother.

As for the food poisoning and fall: please recover quickly and drink plenty of fluids. Pedialyte saved my life the last time I had FP.

Take care of yourself so you can be strong for DH & DM.
