TODAY I SMILED...
~ Chatting with a Michigan Humane Society volunteer who called to see how Smokie has adjusted "one year later". He asked "this might seem funny, but do you talk to him?...that's just a question my wife recommends I ask." I said yes and almost replied "and what's so funny about that question?"
~ Sunblossom body cream and mist had me feeling good and smelling sweet all day long after my shower. I didn't know sunflowers smell so nice!
~ On the same day we had to pay a pretty high AT&T bill we received our "$100 cash back" check in the mail and that money going out didn't seem too bad

Cute Hairy, Handling Matters, In Celebration
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Meeting "Hairy Callahan", Bob and Liz's new puppy Golden Lab
~ Carole came by to help with dad's auto insurance while his car is "lost but not forgotten", his bills, and to let us know he'll finally be able to move into Marquette House this week, a very nice nursing home to help him with his "Alzheimer's rehab"
~ Welcoming Autumn and remembering mom on her "real" birthday at Mexican Fiesta and a trip to the cometary to say hi ...She was born on September 22nd but due to a mistake by her doctor, who wrote her birth date down as September 12th, she lived a lifetime of celebrating it on two dates!

New toy, Hippity Hop, Making Up My Own Hours
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Coming out of Best Buy with a brand new Canon Powershot SD1100 IS Digital Camera
~ Waking up to Smokie looking out the front window at full attention and Aunt Jeannie yelling over to me "There's a rabbit on the lawn!" I dash up to see it before it hops away. I haven't seen a rabbit out there since I was a little girl.
~ As I drive to work I realize I'm leaving an hour and a half late, believing I start at 4:00 rather than 2:30. I rush there, apologize, and realize that the rabbit was probably an omen wanting to tell me "You'll be late, you'll be late, for a very important date!"

Waking and shaking, One good read, Three great choices
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Waking up believing I'm late for work, and scaring myself half to death for it, then realizing it's Saturday and I have the day off
~ Finishing Lisa William's "book, "Life Among The Dead", in less than three days...a rarity for me. It's such a good read.
~ Enjoying Applebee's with AJ, dad and Danny. I chose the "trio", a meal where you can choose three fine items out of several listed to create your dinner. I chose hot and boneless buffalo chicken, steak quesadillas, and chicken/bacon/cheese mini sandwiches. I also had french onion soup with extra cheese. Yum!

Dream hours, Back to #1, Can I have an E
TODAY I SMILED...
~ After waking up in the morning, and making myself downstairs, I realize that morning is actually afternoon, 2:15 in the afternoon, and I have to leave for work an hour later. I haven't slept that late for a long, long time, I had woken up earlier but I wanted to put more dream hours in!
~ "Welcome back!" Joe told me I'm #1 in collections again, a place I hadn't filled in weeks.
~ The office plays hangman together, led by Ish, while taking in Friday night pledge calls

Grave flowers, Perfect spot, New do for AJ
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Driving past a widespread green-grassed cemetary my eyes catch glimpse of a lovely orange and red memorial bouquet made even lovelier from the sun shining upon it.
~ Resting in my car 5 minutes before I have to start work I see a car six lanes behind me, and right across from the entrance, leave his spot. I happily drive right over to fill it.
~ My braid-wearing 75-year-old Aunt Jeannie came home with a short cut today, something none of us ever thought we'd live to see!

Howdy neighbor, Sweet Mary, Today's Lesson
TODAY I SMILED...
~ After backing out of my drive to go to work I give a small hand wave to the new man who just moved in across the street. He waved back and I repeated my action with a bit more oomph.
~ Mary stops by my desk during break and asks if dad has found his car yet. She's been searching the streets and has her husband and son doing so as well. She's very concerned about him though they've never met.
~ Reading in today's Dear Abby, by Jeanne Phillips, "My mother used to say there are two kinds of people in this world: those who walk into a room and their attitude says, "Here I am!" And those who walk into a room and their attitude says, "There you are!" The there-you-are type is always the most popular."

Hello Hairy, Trade off, Smokie's non-surrendering
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Sending Bob a "rapping cats" e-mail greeting card from me and Smokie The Cat to welcome "Hairy Callahan", his new Golden Lab puppy, home. "Kitty says what's up?!"
~ While AJ tries calling about to find the closest MCR store to buy a new phone charger. I do a quick search on the internet and find that she can get what she needs done at Wireless Toyz, mere blocks away. I drove her there and she bought me lunch at Leo's Coney -a nice little trade-off!
~ Smokie jigs and jags to and fro here and there back and forth and places his body in different configurements so he can't be placed in his cat bag and be taken for his shot. He isn't a cat that hisses or bites in a moment like this, he just works his body the best he can.

Fall sports, New rags, Mail call
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Driving past a school football team all dressed up in their uniforms and in practice, one of the first signs of Fall
~ Buying four T-shirts in some pretty cool colors at that great fashion house CVS for under $10. A man passed me by while I was at the cashier and said "I didn't know they sell clothes at CVS!" I replied "Neither did I until just today, and check out these colors!" We were both just so geeked out!
~ Receiving two new magazines in the mail, Shambhala Sun and Body+Soul, on the same day I receive my yearly jury summons

Dazzling dream, Haunted York, Tina's Annie Lee
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Waking up from a colorful dream in which I attended our city carnival. All sorts of characters and roped off divisions under the big top taunted my mind. People stood in a line to look into a boiling pot. They said they saw nothing in it. When I looked I told the lady showing it that I saw faces in it. She said I didn't. I said that, yes, I did. She said I didn't because the police didn't allow it. In the next scenario I was suppose to play a stand up piano for the crowd because when I sat on a bench it squeaked. I said I didn't play and was then told I have "negative fingers". Throughout the day I thought of how I could make my fingers work magic.
~ While flipping through dad's stack of recent magazines, magazines I bring in from the box for him everyday, but hardly notice, I notice that National Geographic has a recent article about York, England, "the most haunted city in the world" they label it...a must read
~ After arriving at my desk for work Tina told me she didn't know I collected Annie Lee items, that she collects Annie Lee artwork too, she adores Annie Lee...she spoke so fast about her passion for Annie Lee collectibles that I couldn't tell her that the Annie Lee mug on my desk belongs to the girl who sits there in the day shift.

Safe and sound, Music to moan to, Dinner and dessert
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Hearing Kristi, a very good friend who moved to Houston two years ago, and her chipper voice on the phone letting me know that Hurricane Ike gave her no grief
~ Sitting in my bedroom on my day off, preparing my playlist for Halloween season, on a lovely gray and rainy day
~ Eating at Beaver's Creek with dad and Aunt Jeannie for dinner. I had French Onion Soup with extra cheese, Mac & Cheese, cornbread muffin, cole slaw and a Sprite. We each ordered a dessert. Dad ordered a ice cream sundae of sorts that he made me split with him. I ordered their plate of soft and warm chocolate chip cookies that I took home in a carry-out box so I can eat them during late movie TV

Angel Remembrances, On-line Laying Down, My Favorite Lady
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Dad's sisters visited, bringing a scrumptious Botana from Mexican Fiesta for lunch. Before they left I had each of them choose one of mom's Seraphim angels to take home with them to remember ma by. They were surprised at first but very happy I did so.
~ My laptop is now wireless! Yay! I never thought I'd see the day on which I can lay on my sofa and use a computer
~ Remembering my funny, sweet, and loving mom who would have been 74 years old today. She passed away on July 15, 2005 and there hasn't been one day that has gone by on which I haven't thought of her. She loved Bob Seger tunes, the color yellow, daisies, collecting angels and frogs, and having her back scratched often. She made my absolute favorite meal on my birthday every year -gnocchis ...And Good God How I Do Miss Her Gnocchis!!!

Tall and Tattooed, Photo flipping, Oh-so-Smokie
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Learning that the name of the handsome "tall-standing, tattoo-necked Tony" is really Carlos
~ Flipping through a stack of Photography magazines I picked up at the library to keep my mind entertained while at work
~ Seeing Smokie sit on the top of a bookcase with an oh-so-proud look towards me after a couple of days of an oh-so-challenging look towards them. He found a way to get up there though, being the oh-so-smart cat that he is

Comfy naptime, Halloween decor, Special sauce
TODAY I SMILED...
~ After turning to lay on my stomach during a "before work" nap, Smokie decides to take a nap laying on my back
~ The lady who runs the small Hallmark/convenience store in our work building has kept a big pumpkin face metallic mug on her counter for the longest time to hold straws in. I mentioned to her once before how much I like it and she told me that I can have it one day. I told her again today that I really like it and she sold me her "originally priced at $8.99" mug for $2. I love Halloween decor and it will fit right in.
~ On the way home from work I stop at McD's for a grilled chicken sandwich and two small cheeseburgers -all three with Big Mac sauce. I just recently thought of asking for The Sauce to be put on my smaller burgers, 'tis so yum!

Movie watching my pace, Chit chat, Cake for Ish
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Laying on my bed with my portable DVD Player finishing the movie I started last night, "Love In The Time Of Cholera".
~ Listening from a back room to Aunt Jeannie talk for hours with a young insurance man about insurance, JFK's assassination, smoking, travels, and all sorts of various subjects
~ Celebrating Ish's birthday at work with a sugar-rich cake and silvery balloons. "Happy Birthday Ish! Yahhh!" His birthday was yesterday and he's a young 23.

Cool colon, Reading my mind, Chilling out while staying in
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Dad passed his colonoscopy test and we were to the hospital and back within three hours. While discussing the results the doctor showed us a few pictures of dad's colon and answered my question before I could ask "No, you can't take this home with you. Everybody asks if they can, I don't know why, but they do." My reply? "Bummer."
~ While dad was undergoing his test I walked to the cafeteria to grab something for breakfast. I put some sausage links and French Toast on a plate and went off to find syrup. I must have looked confused and a wee bit lost, a sweet man looked at me and helped with a "Are you looking for syrup? It's at the beginning section."
~ Staying home for the afternoon and evening to chill, relax and listen to the rain fall outside

Bigger print, Sweet dream, Mint and Montana's, A few of my favorite tunes
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Trying on different reading glasses and deciding on a copper framed pair from Kroger's so I can wear them over my contacts when I wish to read the finer print in life.
~ Waking up from a dream in which I was getting to know tall-standing, tattoo-necked Tony (I believe that's his name) from down the hall in our work building; we were just about to go on our first date!
~ Enjoying Clam Chowder, warm rolls, rare Prime Rib with mushrooms and mashed potatoes with gravy for dinner at Montana's tonight. Dined with dad, Aunt Jeannie, Mary, Liz and Bob. For dessert we had Mint Chocolate Chip Cake. (While at Kroger's I showed dad a lemon merangue pie in one hand and a coconut merangue pie in the other and asked him which one he'd prefer. He had no preference so I settled for the mint frosting chocolate cake! Yummy! I love the combo of mint and chocolate!)

Wild guess, Here comes mommy, Faces from long ago
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Hearing Tina say to a pledger upon answering the phone "Hi! I'll bet you $40 you don't know who this is!" I think to myself, if they guess correctly do we lose the pledge?!
~ Aunt Jeannie laughed as I walked in the door after work. She told me Smokie has been in the back room and very silent all evening -until she heard me pull in the drive, yelled out "Your momma's home!" and he came running out.
~ Seeing a picture of Lisa, the sister of my brother's best friend in elementary to high school, on classmates.com, I decided to send a note to say hi. She returned my e-mail with a quick note the very next day.

White eggs & ham, Wiggly arms, Good view
TODAY I SMILED...
~Aunt Jeannie made me a ham and fried egg on toast sandwich for breakfast that was mm-mm-good
~ Watching Tina, who sits in front of me at work, make wild and wacky arm movements to entertain herself as she watched herself in the window reflection making her calls
~ By laying back on my Papasan Chair and bringing my portable DVD player up oh-so-close that it's basically laying on my chest, I get so centered on the screen that it's like being in my own personal theater! Tonight I watched "Definitely Maybe".

Sweeter scenery, Ready answer, Hello mommy
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Being able to use my laptop computer in a room with a nice breeze coming in whether than the computer that has been in our dank and dreary basement since 1999.
~ Telling the owner/cashier of our work building's store the price of the magazine I buy today before she asks me, something she does every week. She smiles and says, "You know me so well!"
~ After getting out of the car, when arriving home after work, I see Smokie jump from the window sill to the railing so he can see me and meow "hello" the moment I walk through the door

Eye tricks, Music memories, Warm and chewy
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Enjoying 3-D special effects at the theater as I watch "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" at Emagine Canton.
~ Hearing the music of the "Car Culture" exhibit in Henry Ford Museum, taking me back to when I worked there nine years ago
~ Biting my first bite of a warm salted pretzel dipped in nacho cheese sauce as I sat in an empty theater 40 minutes before the show began

New read, Labor Day sales, Relaxing dinner
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Enjoying James Van Praagh's new book "Ghosts Among Us", reading and just about finishing the book over one week-end, a rarity for me
~ Labor Day sales on notebooks, pens, files, folders, and all sorts of going-back-to-school supplies. I bought a new notebook for journaling and pink "Write For Hope" Paper Mate pens. $0.20 from the pen purchase will go toward breast cancer research, treatment and education
~ Sharing Crab Ragoons with dad and Aunt Jeannie at Rose Garden Chinese Restaurant. My dinner consisted of Egg Drop Soup, Egg Roll, Almond Chicken (minus the lettuce), fried rice, roll, and a fortune cookie that read "Someone is watching over you"
