The Happy Post

I've been in Newcastle today, getting the house ready to move into on Wednesday. It's all spick and span ready for me to walk in after my 120-mile journey and collapse on my bed.

Can't help but be happy about it

 

I am happy because Dan had a wonderful fathers day yesterday and today he has work again, which put him in a lovely mood. YAY! Yesterday he had drinks with my father as he couldn't with his, and we all had a really great time (even though my mood sucked).

Today I am off for a walk to take the boy to school and then I am going to my parents and going to play the Wii for a few hours. Gotta have something to do

And I was able to finally post a pregnant belly pic in the photo thread! lol! I'm huge compared to the last two pregnancies, but not very huge...

 

Glad everyone is having funtastic days of late. Tor, I cant see your photo in the Pic thread though! *cry*

I'm in a good mood because I had some family over tonight for a barbeque... love my extended family. I'm also in a chipper mood because tomorrow Mom and I are taking advantage of Labor Day sales and stocking up on college things --since most people already are in school, they should already be discounted, and Labor Day on top of it? Pounce!
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should bring that wouldnt immediately occur to me? Kenyon requires you room on campus all four years, and IU requires you stay in a dorm your frosh year, so I'm primarily shopping for bedroom and kitchen stuff. I'm tallying up a list now.

 

Don't forget to personalize the room! Posters, pictures......family and friends' pictures on the walls (easily removable) will brighten up the place a lot.

 

I had a friend who asked all of her friends to make her something-a little collage, a poem written on a piece of construction paper, anything-and she put those up on her wall instead of regular posters. I loved the idea. Kind of made me wish I'd lived in a dorm while I was in college.

 

I added it to my forum photo album and have that set so only friends can view my photos. Sorry Merc. I added you as a friend to make up for it. (I am sorry darl, I thought you was a WF friend tbh)

 

Just got the album Hypnotise by System of a Down.
Through thoroughly legal methods...

 

I just found out that I was right and there is more money in my checking than I thought! Woot!


Oh and Lt. Tingles is still my favorite.

 

That's always a pleasant surprise.

And I'm glad you could read it! I made it late last night, and I was like bah, it's tiny...I'm too tired to fix it right now...

I saw all the conversation in the tavern about badges, and I had to give it a go.

 

Just got my new shelves

They have 42 books on - and by curious coincidence the forty-second book I put on was Life, the Universe and Everything. As this is in my little alcove, I hope for startling revelations regarding rice pudding before long.

 

Dante, I'm so very jealous of your shelves! I need some...but I don't really have room for them anywhere.

 

I saw this picture this morning, and it made me smile.

It's a Crimson Rosella nibbling on flower blossoms in Canberra, Australia. The red & blue feathers are stunning.

 

How pretty! I love the way the colors look in contrast with the rest of the pictures. Beautiful.

 

Just seen District 9. Pretty good, I have to admit. I would see it again without question.
Acting's good, plot's good, effects are fantastic and the dialogue is very good.

Spoiler

My only problem is there is a lot of... not so much gore, but same sort of thing really. I understand it's trying to be realistic but sometimes it just starts to get comic-y. And the amount of times people explode is a tad ridiculous. It's like everyone in South Africa spontaniously combusts when they get so much as breathed on.

 

Glad to hear it's good. Maybe Joel and I will go see it this weekend.

 

I am happy because I had a great vacation, reconnected with some old friends, and make some new, seriously awesome ones.

(Plus the badges!)

 

I am happy because I have a full work week! WooP!

 

I'm happy. Just cuz.

 

I am now happy.

 

Guess who has a job.

 

You? Awesome! Really happy for you, Xe!


Edit: Where exactly btw?

 

Goin' to X-FEST this Saturday! My favourite band's gonna be there! An uber-great friend is gonna be with me! Buyin' tickets tonight!

We were iffy about going because she got in trouble, but we are 100% going, and I am happyhappyhappyhappyhappy about it!!!!

 

I am happy my son is back home...

 

I am happy for Dan who is getting regular work at the school at the moment. It seems to have helped cheer him up lately, so I am happy for him. It's nice to see him smiling more and stressing a little less.

 

That takes a big load off your shoulders, Sherie, yes? Quite apart from being happy for Dan for Dan's sake, I'm sure it'a a relief to not have to need to be a rock.

You both deserve this chance to catch your breath.
