Things that have put a smile on your face today

Amistad

yesterday, i was talking on the phone and sitting in my bedroom window. i noticed out of the corner of my eye that the Amistad was coming down river.
what a beautiful ship. how sad the history. if you dont know the Amistad was a slave ship and the mystic seaport built a replica which now berths in new haven.
i was weak, watching its sails billow, knowing what happened on those decks. it makes me weep.
what made me smile was the pure beauty of the ship with black clouds on the horizon in the east and the sun shining orange from the west. the contrast was awe inspiring. not unlike the art of antonio jacobson.

The Amistad sounds fantastic. Piccies, Vella... Next time.

Smiles:

I woke up this morning with my baby girl leaning over me, her tiny breath against my cheek...just watching. What was she looking for? What did she see? How did it make her feel? I woke up with tons of thoughts and as soon as she saw my eyes open she smiled, my questions were answered. Nothing earth shattering, just a genuinely happy smile.

My wish:

That I could wake up every morning to someone that was so obviously happy to see me. 'Twas a good beginning to what promises to be a tiring and stressful day.

~lucky

p.s. I'll smile even more if Vella's Mom gets to come home today.

Aren't kids just the greatest that way? My youngest still sleeps with me, and I almost can't sleep now without him breathing on me. I know he'll soon feel the need to sleep in his own bed, and in a way I'm looking forward to it, but in another I really, really dread it.

Mine doesn't sleep with me but she climbs in with me in the morning to snuggle and tell me it's time for cereal and milk.

She did sneak in two nights ago, though, and apparently can't sleep without having her tiny arms wrapped around my neck and her head buried under my chin. I'm not used to it. Very little sleep was had by me. But just being that close to her was wonderful and I'll pick up on the sleep later.

~lucky

p.s. Your little spiderman sounds like a cutie.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Mine sneak up and scare the hell out of me, especially since I've been having weird dreams lately.

but a lovely IM today has me smiling like a fool.

They may be embarassed outwardly, but I always felt really close to my Dad when he picked on me with my friends. It was kind of a secret society and I happen to hold my Dad way up there on my list of fave people. My friends were jealous of our close friendship and I'd even set him up for the little digs sometimes. 'Course he was a great sport and I'd come right back at him. That sweet man even let me get the last word each time. (Not that I'd have stopped until then...but you know.)



Enjoy!

Cloudy, Lucky and Abs

Makes my day to see you all smiling.

Had a very pleasant family outing last night. Went for pizza (the best in the county) and then a walk on the beach. Somebody tell me why 11 year old boys can't resist trying to chase every seagull in sight?

PS All too soon, your kids will be teenagers who'll pretend not to know you in public, but you can always get even by embarassing them in front of their frieds (works for me).

I chase seagulls...LOL
I also embarass my kids now, and the neighbors kids too.
Hey Sweets, enjoy your trip! Be safe and have fun.

YOu know, it might be that I never was THAT much of a teenage rebel. But even when I thought they were total control freak losers who tried to oversee my every breath basically making me wish they had a restraining order slapped on them...well, guess what? No matter how hard I tried to hate them, they were, at the end of the day, Ma and Pa. And because they were my Ma and Pa they were the bestest Ma and Pa in the world.

That's true, I wished for a hot body next to me when I woke up, when I opened my eyes, the dog was next to me.

Sign of a true bitch. But if she's worth her salt, her body heat kept you warm.
