How does Wednesday keep showing up so quickly? I’m about to turn in(to a newt), but if you want something from among 14,000 things to be happy about:
please give me a page number from 1 to 612 and another number between 1 and 30, and after I get a few hours’ sleep, I’ll tell you what the book says.
My own thing to be happy about: Mercury has gone direct. It’s NEW STOVE time for The Compound.
pg 34, no 28
“Milky Way candy bars”
Can I have Page 10, item # 7, please? : )
You are so funny, trying to get Lynne’s ring.
“a white-gold sunrise”
Here, because I know you like them, have this white-gold reminder of what time the sun rises.
I’ll keep it till I’m 100, and then take a cruise and drop it in the ocean. By then I’ll surely be senile, though, so if I’m spotted just dropping it in a rain-puddle outside the local Piggly Wiggly, please pretend along with me.
Thanks, Becky. : )
And if you’ve got your heart set on a Viking stove, I’ll gladly donate my new watch to the cause.
I suspect that not only would you have to donate your watch, but a kidney and perhaps a liver, as well. [Donate no lungs, however, in case we need one for Tim. =)]
Wednesday already! Page 219, no 11 please. 🙂
“T.B.A. = to be avoided”
(Were you looking for a reason not to do something?)
Hah – I’m sitting here telling myself I can always tidy up tomorrow. 🙂
PS bought a copy of A Coventry Christmas and it arrived in the post today. Just wanted to see what it was all about!
Why thank you! I hope you enjoy it. =)
I haven’t started yet, but I like the dedication where you’ve written that someone taught you to love Christmas again. I think I need someone to do that for me too.
Could I have the very last one in the book, please?
“dozens of places to curl up with a book”
That’s a great one!!!
The temp is plunging to sub-zeros and yet another snow storm is on the way, If you would page 220 number 11. Nothing for Oskar, he’s mad at me.
” ‘Happy birthday!’ yelled as you enter a crowded room”
(Tell Oskar no treats for him until he adjusts his attitude.)
Would you believe I have never walked into a room where everyone shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY? Actually I’ve never had a formal birthday party where people or friends were invited to attend.
Perhaps it’s time.
Page 140 number 7 please
“ice crystals so small, so light, that they float like mist and shimmer in a January sunrise”
Sounds delightful, as long as I am in a warm fuzzy robe looking out through a window while holding a mug of steaming hot coffee or tea.
pg. 12, #15. 🙂
p.s.
yay on the new stove!!
When it’s here, I’ll post a photo!
“spending a quarter on old-favorite ‘penny’ candies”
pg.77,#7 … mystical inversion of pg.66,#6.
“doodlebugs”
Ah yes, an inevitable alchemical counterbalance to its well-known dark aspect, “toolsheds.”
ROFL. You might find some in the corner of your toolshed. Although that all sounds very euphemistic to me.
Not to be greedy, but I can use an extra happy today if that’s okay, so Page 276 # 13 and Page 162 #16
276, 13 is “Welsh rabbit with beer”
162, 16 is “walking downtown”
Apparently, you need to walk to a tavern or pub–Guinness says have one of her beers with your rabbit.
I can barely walk to my classes today. LOL
Think how much worse it’d have been if you’d downed a couple of Guinnesses. =)
3-13, please.
“ties the width of lobster bibs”
(Are you planning to be a clown?)
page 600 line 10 for me
page 599 – the last one for Dash
You: “taking the time to plump your dog’s L.L. Bean doggy bed”
Dash: “being realistic”
I think Dash is willing to let you plump ANY doggy bed and doesn’t expect L.L. Bean.
He has MY bed, and trust me he makes sure he gets the very softest part of it!
It is the natural and right way of things.
STOVE!!!!
good luck. i just want my kitchen back.
page 8, item 11, please
Re: STOVE!!!!
It’ll happen. Eventually.
“curling up on a chaise longe with the London Times crossword puzzle”
Hmmm…in honor of the Oscars how about page 224 (for the date of the ceremony) and # 5 (for the # of Oscars I think No Country for Old Men is going to win).
“Galileo slow thermometers: crystal orbs rearranging themselves”
Sounds very Oscar nightish to me.
Happy for Becky
I thought that today I should send you a “thing to be happy about” So here it is:
The smell of coffee brewing as you awake to a day feeling glad to be alive.
Have a great Wednesday.
Re: Happy for Becky
Thanks! I love the smell of coffee brewing. =)
Is it too late?
332, #2 please
It’s never to be late to be happy, Mystery Person.
“fishing for compliments”
Anonymous looks good on you!
That was me, Rick, OH.
