What made you smile today?


Recommended Posts

At work, and I have youtube playing in the background, occasionally I'll drop into the comments and read a few. So I'm listening to Back in Black by AC/DC, and I read "Totally gonna learn this on ocarina."

 

had to laugh...

This happened very, very early this morning, but my wife called me at work, freaking out and crying.

 

Normally this would not be cause for a smile.

 

But, the reason she was freaking out and crying was because she found out she is pregnant.

 

We are going to have our second child (and we've been trying for less than 45 days since her mirena came out, so I'd like to think I have some above average swimmers as well).

 

I've had a smile on my face all day (including through sleeping earlier).

I work at a university so the local tech support is often made up of young college aged people. I just had one in to fix something on my computer. It's running super slow so he asked how old it is. When I told him, he said "Three years old? Well, I always say that computers age about 10 years for every year so yours is kind of getting to middle age and, ya know, slowing down, feeling like it can't quite make it much longer..." The oh s**** look on his face as he tried to backtrack after I said "Hey!" was worth the (unintended) insult.

I went to MMA to pick up my son (he goes 2x a week, different nights than me).  After his class is the adult class.  One of the newbies (who is a very, very in-shape older guy) was waiting for the adult class to start.  He looked up at me, smiled in recognition (since he had been my partner all Monday for striking, clinching and grappling), then his jaw dropped and he said "Oh, crap, do you go Thursdays, too?!"

 

I am happy to inspire that kind of (good-humored) terror in someone. :D

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

1. Canucks won last night, and the game ended with an EPIC fight. 

 

2. Quality time with the bf today included a run to the dump and digging up a sewer. We have a special relationship...

Take a trip back to the 80s, when music videos made you wonder what was in those brownies...

 

I'm looking forward to the movie, David hasslehoff, Vikings, dinosaurs, hitler, what more could a want?

Also just now learning that hitler autocorrects to butler, so that's nice.

Maybe the butler has a secret....
