Friday Happy things
A few things that are making me happy on this last day of January in 2009.
* Music. I just added a Johnny Cash channel to my Pandora which I listen to at work. I LOVE it! Not just because of the Johnny Cash songs, but the great old time blues that are playing on it, too. Stuff I like, but I’d never know the names of the songs or singers. It’s makes me do little dances at my desk.
* Sex. More specifically sex withOUT the moon boot. So much better. And while I miss lil moonspun, sex with the light on and no limits on volume has its own set of benefits.
* Girl Scout cookies. Passing in lil moonspun’s order today and in a few weeks I’ll be crunching on the yearly treat that is the frozen thin mint!
* Comments on my blog. I live to read what you say. You make me laugh and smile everytime.
* Other blogs. I’d be less of a person if I didn’t read about Badass’ blue balls, Lola’s Mennonite neighbors, or see adorable pictures of Rocket from Sus…and so on and so on….
* Work. Yes I said work. I’ve had a lot to do and that makes me feel productive and useful. Like it’s worth coming to.
* Friends. Two friends helped me out this week. One drove lil moonspun and I home when RP had a night meeting. She and her fiance came back for dinner and played Chinese checkers with lil moonspun and I. Lil moonspun loves them and we all had a good time. My other friend drove me to and from my long-awaited and much needed chiropractic appointment yesterday.
* Snow. Ok, it was a pain in the butt the other day, messing up plans, but it sure it pretty around our house now. Nothing like evergreen trees with snow on them.
* Healing. I had a great doctor’s appointment yesterday. I got the go-ahead to start to put weight on my foot and to start walking on my moon boot as opposed to dragging the thing around. I have four weeks until my next appointment and over the course of that time I should gradually ditch my crutches and be walking on my moon boot. Between that and physical therapy and assuming all goes well, I am supposed to bring a regular shoe to my next appointment and walk out of there with it on! Which also means I can drive again! Woo hoo! I also got the ok to stop wearing the boot in bed…woo hoo again!
* WWI. Ok that’s not a happy subject, but it’s what we are studying in class right now and my crush on said professor aside, I LIKE going to class and learning things.
* RP. Come on, I can’t mention happy things without my handsome hubby. He’s a good man, he’s funny and I enjoy being with him. He’s a great kisser, too.
What makes you happy today?

Now THAT’S the way to start a weekend, with good things! I am so excited to hear about the progress with your foot. I know you’ve had some real struggles with this process and it’s got to be enormously encouraging to be so close to the resolution. Have a great weekend!

Happy things! Love it.
I will take a stab:
Pandora for me too: heard Marquee Moon by Television and had to turn it up and bop head.
Love!
Friday and light snow!
The Farmer’s Market is this weekend and I’m getting a pork loin and country ribs!
Getting passport pic taken-ish (!)
Weekend plans!

I’m happy that I finally had a little time to catch up on a few blogs today.
I’m glad you’re able to give the boot ‘the boot’ in bed!

What makes me happy? Well, it’s Friday evening, I’m cooking my wife soup while guzzling red wine – I always drink wine when I cook, it’s just the way it should be – and browsing blogs while it simmers. And, it all makes me happy.
BUT snow really is a pain in the backside.

Finally getting my roots done made me pretty happy! We’re going to an ice-skating party at our friends’ house on Sunday, so I’m very happy about that.
I love Johnny so!

Oh. how I long for this.
* Girl Scout cookies. Passing in lil moonspun’s order today and in a few weeks I’ll be crunching on the yearly treat that is the frozen thin mint!
I have a recipe! They came out pretty damned good for a first batch….
