One time when I was traveling on business, I had a two-hour layover in Philadelphia. It was exciting to be in the birthplace of the U.S., and I wished I could actually explore the city instead of only passing through its airport.
As compensation, I visited an airport gift shop and bought the charm you see hanging off the HDH book to add to my charm necklace: the Liberty Bell. On this day, July 8, in 1835, the Liberty Bell cracked again. I love the bell’s history, and personally, I’ve always found a significant lesson in the fact that something considered “flawed” is one of our country’s most recognizable and beloved symbols.
That’s all I’ll say about that. If you want something to be happy about, please comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and I’ll tell you what the 14,000 Things To Be Happy About book has to offer you.
P.S. I timed this to post at 04:05:06 a.m. on 07.08.09. Thanks, Rob.
Dash would like 524 number 13 and I would like 523 number 16

P.S. I timed this to post at 04:05:06 a.m. on 07.08.09.
That made me happy to read!
For some reason that idea just really made me grin.
As did finding that you also have a charm necklace!
🙂
Since someone already chose 7 89 commemorating today’s date — I’ll choose the numbers which correspond to your post 45 and 6, please.
Happy Wednesday!
I told someone on LJ the other day that when my apartment was robbed many, many years ago, among the things I lost were my two charm bracelets from my childhood and adolescence–one silver, one gold. Painful, because all the charms were gifts from special people.
After I moved to Texas, Lynne, who had so many charms that she decided to remove them from her bracelet and begin a necklace, helped me, over time, rebuild my charm collection on a necklace of my own. It’s a really fun necklace because it’s LADEN with charms now, many of them relating to characters I’ve written, many to places I’ve been, and several to my hobbies and jobs over the years.
Now I’ll shut up and give you:
“sour-cherry jam”
I could use some happy today. 🙂 Page 213, # 11 please.
You’ll always get happy here. Which makes me sound like your dealer…
From the book:
“a sweet tooth”
Mmmm…that did it. Happiness achieved!
See, I AM like your dealer.
Happy Hump Day!!
I would like page 183 #6 please!
Thanks!
Happy Hump Day to you, too! And from the book:
“opening a box of old clothes and being enveloped by familiar scents”
Would you believe I was asleep at 04:05:06 07/08/09? Got totally pooped yesterday mowing the toadstools and fireworks detritus that fell from the sky over the weekend. Not that toadstools fall from the sky. From where do toadstools come?
Mlle Renee supplied me with all the happy I need today. Waking up to find your dog staring at your face and not licking it.
Toadstools come from magic gnomes and fairies and the other wee people…and perhaps an enchanted frog or two.
sleepless with puppy
how about 3 and 545
(I got 3 hours of sleep last night and I have to wake up at 545 to go be an intern for the day. The sleepless night was nothing exciting; it was due to Mom’s new puppy that would not shut up, not ever. I told her to get one from the rescue that would fit her more, but nope, she wanted the special-pedigree-who-cares charles spaniel, and so I’ll stop whining now and try to get to sleep before the next howling session starts)
4:5:6 7-8-9… awesome!
Re: sleepless with puppy
Ha! Perfect. The book says:
“goodnights”
I hope you get some rest.
Re: sleepless with puppy
LOL
I slept quite well last night 🙂
