Things that made you smile today ~ 2013

Had to work late and finally got home and was handing out candy tonight. One of the kids was wearing a costume of the eleventh doctor...fez, bow tie, tweed jacket...he went the whole nine yards on it. So I complimented him on it. He said I was the only one of all the houses he's been to that knew who he was dressed up as, but I could tell it really made him happy that somebody got it.

So bringing a little bit of joy to a fellow Dr. Who fan made me smile tonight.:)

That's great... I had a kid in a long shaggy wig holding a plastic flower in a pot... he was "Hairy Potter." He got 3 hand fulls of candy. :D
 
Awwwwwwwwwww ^^^^^^^^

Trick or Treaters!!! I'm slightly jealous that I don't get to witness all that fun! But it's nice to hear about it all the same. Makes me smile :)

I don't do favorites like that. Even though I admit that I was tempted to give that Dr. Who kid more than the others, but its my policy not to lest some kid egg my car again if they find out I gave another trick or treater more candy than him.

LOL... I agree. If he was in a group I would have heaped them all, but fortunately, he was a loner... though if he was in a group I would have less leftovers to eat. :D
 
People coming to the party :eek:

The beginning of Nano. Makes me smile even if it is slightly anxious!

The sound of traditional Tassa drums outside at this hour of the morning! :D

I might just be dancing a bit
 
The feel of fall finally emerging, at least for a couple of days.

Spending a few hours with the kid making dinner and watching TV.
 
Hi! How are you?

Good, good. BUSY! My goodness I thought once the kid was out of high school I'd be less busy, but I should have known better. I'm working a lot and losing my day job in three months. That sounds bad, I suppose it is, but maybe not. I'll walk away with a good severance, so I'm considering a short sabbatical and a trip back to school. I'm not totally sure on the plan as I'm still processing. Of course forcing myself into work every day knowing the eventual outcome is depressing and kills the motivation.

How are you?

Oddly, I just had a bit of that same thing, with the job loss and severance and all. Maybe it's catching!

But I'm good otherwise. Busy as ever, but it's to be expected I suppose. Still, happy to have been around when you are! It's always been too long since I've seen you about.

I know, I know! I miss being around and chit chatting with you and creative writing! Of course, should I take the route I'm considering I may have a bit more time... hey, maybe I'll just write that great American novel yet. ;)

Sorry about your job... it definitely seems to be going around.

In my case, the struggle of print publishing has even made it's way to my department and they're outsourcing us to a foreign country. With that I'll shush because I feel yet another rant coming on. Heh.
 
A Sia spotting, another couple of familiar faces, getting some thing sorted after a fairly heavy set back.

Pushing forward.
