Hump Day Happy

It’s Wednesday, I know, and I’ll get to your bit of happiness. First, I want to share some of the good things about my week. I don’t have pictures of the sight that makes me smile from ear to ear, and that is Rexford G. Lambert and EZ running The Compound grounds together. They don’t play with each other yet, but they are able to enjoy being outside, unleashed within the fence, acting like dogs who’ve become part of the same pack.

I know what everyone woke up worried about today

It’s not “How long must we wait to see Tim’s, Mark’s, and Becks’ designs?” It’s not “How the hell will I pay for gasoline?” It’s not “Where’s Becky’s Photo Friday?” It’s not even “McCain or Obama?”

It’s–WHAT ABOUT MY STARBUCKS? Full list of planned closings right here. I hope this won’t ruin anyone’s weekend.

Don’t think that all my work for Runway Mondays will make me forget that you deserve some happiness. You only need comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and I’ll find you a delightful bit of happiness from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s book.

Last week you said it was a plastic hamster. This week a snake. You’re having an acid flashback, aren’t you?

I was recently perusing 14,0000 Things to Be Happy About and noticing how many of the Things seemed a bit dated. My edition of the book was from 1990, after all, when more than five of my readers could still remember Things like Bonwit Teller, David Brenner, and the phrase, “You turkey!”

Never say I’m not good to you. I recently acquired the 2007 version of 14,000 Things to Be Happy About, in which around 1,500 old Things were replaced with more up-to-date Things (sounds like the Playboy mansion). This also means that the order is not what it used to be so go ahead, use your birthdays again; you might see something new. Just remember that only works once.

Anyone–even Anonymous–need not be shy about giving me a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25. After all, as the Pet Shop Boys have taught us, “Happiness is an option.”

You see what? A plastic hamster? Have you been drinking?

Photo Friday, No. 103

Current Photo Friday theme: Spiral


Yesterday, I bought a new novel.
Last night, as I was reading it, I could see something in the crack between the pages.
When I turned the book over and shook it, the seven tiny stars pictured here fell out.
I love this kind of random gift.
Happy Independence Day, everyone.
