Kayla Schofield Happy List #6

1. So after finding out the car will be fixed under warranty, after 5-6months of being (censored for privacy), Danny and I finally were able to (Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In). (I'm sure you'll get the metaphor if anyone's watched 40yr. Old Virgin) This is fantastic! I'm on cloud ten. Screw cloud 9. If I died right now, I'd for sure die extremely happy. 2.

Hope Swann Saturday, 21 November 2009

Internet has been so wonky lately, especially in the evenings when I got to post... so... I haven't been so diligent... sigh. For today: 1. Stephanie is 42 today. Hard to believe that precious little bundle that I held in awe and wonder all those years ago has two bundles of her own and has become such an amazing woman and friend.

Sue Camarados Grace in Small Things: 230

1. Passing a bright yellow car with pink flowers on that said 'Curves' and laughing with delight; feeling very close to Jessica. Didn't know we had Curves here. 2. A sign at the swimming pool saying 'Optimists are pessimists who go to the gym.' 3. An endlessly patient, caring young man from the Phillipines who was at the pool playing valet to a demanding, haughty old woman. The only dent in his meekness and submissiveness was his black T-shirt which said in English 'Women should come with instru… Continue
