What's making you happy today? - Page 423

Our lights are still up. We all need some cheer until the days visibly lengthen!

Pico and ME · 01-23-2011, 01:50 PM

We didn't do outside lights this year, but our Christmas tree is still up and we turn it on every night. Actually getting ready to take it down now tho.

Ours is standing on the porch with juncos using it for cover.

The tree went a while back, but we consider the outside lights "winter" lights and usually keep them on until late Jan/early Feb. They don't come down 'til easter, though -too damn cold!

We got a house!!! Yaaaay!! Now all I have to do is figure out how to move me, my car, and all my things to the complete opposite side of the country ASAP. Nothin' big...

Sundae · 01-25-2011, 02:42 PM

Congrats Razz!
Oh and good luck - still, as moves go at least it's worth it when you're being reunited.

monster · 01-25-2011, 03:39 PM

Hey SG, any progress on the background check thing? Speaking of things that will make you happy.

plthijinx · 01-25-2011, 03:56 PM

WTG Razz! awesome!

DanaC · 01-25-2011, 04:36 PM

Yay for Razzle dazzle!

I am excited. It's the first of Brooker's new show tonight *skips about*

How TV Ruined Your Life.

despite the fact that it's a little chilly outside, for the first time in about 5 years i'm going fishing near galveston today. see if i can't bring home some speckled trout, redfish and black drum to toss on the grill!

Sundae · 01-26-2011, 01:11 PM

I GOT MY ENHANCED CRB IN THE POST TODAY!
I CAN FINALLY START WORK!

WOOOHOOOOOO!

And I'd been in a subdued mood all day, and was in town for my Job Centre 6 month interview, and when I left I needed to buy some salad. I debated the whole time walking around the supermarket whether to walk halfway home and go to the newsagent where I always used to buy drink (they are 10p a can cheaper than my local shop).

I really was on the brink of buying some cans for tonight, but managed to keep my feet moving in the direction of the bus stop, so that I sailed gaily past the shop. So right now I feel so glad I didn't succumb, as I can feel glowy and proud as well as simply glad I will start work asap.
