What brightens your day
when things seem bad?

My puppy just started barking in her sleep at my feet, and then barked so loudly she woke herself up. Instant smile on my face! :D

4. Oh snap!
I love those... one of my comfort foods! :D Best thing is, the man can't stand 'em, so when I fry up a batch they are all mine! }(

You're my kind of woman. I loooooooooooove those morsels. :)
I pressure cook mine to make them tender before I batter them.

I love when she tilts her head when I mention words she loves like rides, treats, eat, play, walk, etc.

22. What a sweetheart
Edited on Thu Dec-29-05 09:55 PM by Liberalynn
Beau is. Thank you too on Maxi's behalf. She's pretty much a pacifist although she hates the vaccum cleaner and attempts to attack it.

15. I keep a heated birdbath for them to drink from.
I'm surprised that they are picky about the brand of seed I feed them.

18. Our neighbors downstairs have birdfeeders,
and I toss a lot of bread to the ducks and geese. We have a bit of wooded area around our complex and a man made pond, so there's a decent variety of birds that can be seen from our balcony. My favorite is the cardinals, I'd never seen one until I came to Indiana.

12. Just the fact that I have a job...
And that my boss is understanding enough to let me work and go to school at the same time.

:)

29. The thought of George W. Bush et al....
rotting in hell for all eternity tends to put a smile on my face these days. :)

31. Loving gestures from my children, watching the cat play,
my husband offering to run a bubble bath for me. He always knows just when I need a de-stresser.
