Not The Trivial things that make you happy

I won Slimmer of the Week today at my SW meeting tonight! Totally unexpected but a very pleasant surprise and a major confidence boost!

My dogs, again.
I have two. A big dog, and a small dog. The small dog thinks he's royalty and the big dog is the hen pecked husband, although they adore each other. They have two beds, pillows, and Disney blankets. Santa brought super comfortable beds at Christmas, which they adore.

Tonight I climbed into their bed for a cuddle. The big dog was so happy he sounded like a duck. I was using him as a pillow and he had both paws wrapped around my arm. He kept giving me random gentle licks. The baby dog was laying stretched out the length of my body, squished right up next to me.

They seemed so happy and so content. Doggie cuddles make the day better.

Spent the last couple of days watching a young rabbit give my lawn a mowing that it really needed. He/she seems to love the grass and flowers and weeds that make up my lawn.
He/she is getting tamer. Going to try moving out to the lawn tomorrow and just stand and watch. Hopefully will end up like the Robins that come into the house and chirp when hungry :-)

Technically, this is more of a TA that slighty annoys me but it also amuses me in equal measure so I suppose it counts as a TA that makes me happy. Basically, for the last few hours, I've been writing a piece of smutty fiction and whilst I'm no prude, so far, I can't bring myself to type the more racier words regarding genitalia without erupting into a giggle fit. Why does this always happen?
I'm a grown woman- I shouldn't be laughing my ass off over naughty words usually found in most erotica nowadays, yet anything stronger than "mickey" turns me into a gibbering eejit. Nice to know I'm easily amused!

My best friends 3 year old. Little diva. She's completely her mammy and my mini me. I met her and her mam for lunch on Monday. As soon as I got out of the car, she was all about my shoes. "Lexie they're Lully shoes", and holding her hand crossing the street she was more preoccupied with my nails than she was about looking at cars.

But this morning, her mam sent me a snapchat of her with her hair up in a messy bun, her little handbag and a massive pair of sunglasses on her, red lips and her mams shoes with the caption "I have the minature version of you".

I'm so excited for her to be old enough to bring for shopping trips, sleep overs, afternoon tea. I'm so excited to see her grow up and I hope she still thinks I'm cool in 10 years time.

Fanadman, you're one of the original Disney Princesses, aren't you?

These two posts made me smile from ear to ear, and made my day.

When you get to the Luas stop and it says "Due" and you don't have to wait.

Orange is the new black makes me happy. A whole year waiting for this season.

tonight my smallie took my face in hers and rubbed it the way my mum does with hers.I love that my mum minds her and teaches her this stuff.

Went into the crèche this evening to collect my infant. I was given the Father's Day card which "she" had made for me. When I got home and read it the Galician childminder who had written it had gone to the trouble of finding out the Irish for 'I love you!' (she would only ever hear me talking in the Irish to the leanbh). Hugely impressed.

My delphiniums. You can la Dee la off. I love my delphiniums.

You know when you find a pair of shoes that just WORK for walking? Bliss.

Heels are ok for now and then, but OMG when you find the trainers or shoes that just WORK. Heaven. really.

So that's my TTTMMH

The slugs and snails always got mine, but they are gorgeous, and well done you!

New bra feeling!

I can't believe some of the ratty old things my g/f has, underwires poking out etc. It's a good thing underwear goes under the clothes, then.

This morning I got to try an alternate guitar tuning method I've been playing with for a while. It's too weird for a normal string set, so I had to spend money on extra strings before I could get it to work properly. So it's nice that it all came together this morning. All the chord shapes are different - but (I think) more logical. I took a song I've never played before in any tuning and learned it in an hour. :cool:

Lovely underwear and how it makes me feel makes me happy

I have a friend who is very special to me. We've had a fairly tumultuous time the last few years. A few months ago I really thought our friendship was done. I was all achy inside. Luckily we made up.

He just rang me there. A rare occasion. He can be an awful obnoxious asshole but I love him and talking to him makes me smile.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I wish my obnoxious asshole friend would call me. I told him to go f uck himself in feburary and he hasn't talked to me since.


People commenting on my work. Today one of my clients told me she would recommend me for "threader of the month" because the last threading she had done, she only let the girl do one eyebrow because it hurt so much.

Then another client told me I had a gentle touch.

Then my last client told me I had the perfect voice to work with little kids because it's calm and relaxed.

And the man that owns the shop across the road always waves at us when he's walking past. He's nice so I always wave back. Today he told me I wave like a little kid and that puts him in good form.

So even though I now have a complex about my waving, I'm happy it makes someone else happy

Playing tug of war with the dog, I revert to being a child again.

Listening to Lyric FM since 6am, starting with Lyric through the Night. What stunningly spiritual music. The current programme is called Vox Nostra. It's playing medieval and baroque music. Monteverdi's baroque pieces in particular bring me into another world. The other humans are up now and giving me daggers over this music and itching to change the channel to one of the Wafflers. Feck them. This is calm. This is peace. Lyric FM on a Sunday morning ftw.

My friends doggy.

I'm going through a **** time at the moment and every time I walk into the house the dog gives me lots of love. I love how dogs sense that things aren't well with people. Especially when I'm not even one of his people.

I am off to meet the gentleman later.

Tee Hee!! :pac:

My trivial happy thing:

I have a highly distractible mind. It's constantly bouncing around, going off in tangents and racing at the speed of lightning; ergo, I'm constantly losing/misplacing things or I go off to do something and stop halfway as I can't remember what I'm supposed to be doing.

So this morning my husband asked me to do something but of course I only heard half of what he asked me. He starts to get a little mad with me and says "How come you never listen and you're always losing things". Five minutes later he asks me "Did you see the cap from the milk carton. I swear I had it in my hand a minute ago. Where the hell is it?" as he's wandering around the kitchen in a tizzy looking for it for it everywhere.

Welcome to my world

Adeles new song.

I love love love it.
And I love singing it loudly even though I can't sing for sh1t

This Fat Girl Runs

I live near a major tourist attraction, with lots of tourists passing by my place. The front door to where I live is quite distinctive. It makes me happy when I come home to see tourists taking photos of it. I get to get my key out and go in while they crane their necks to get a peek inside. Makes me feel kinda cool. :cool:

Currently attempting to teach myself German with the Duo Lingo app on my phone. At first, I kept fluffing up the Ein/Eine parts and had to repeat the first 5 minute lesson. Eventually got it and unlocked the next one. Breezed through the Mann/Madchen/ Frau/Herr lesson and got 10 XP points for completing it on my first try.
Wunderbar!

Lady is a tramp

Just got weighed this morning, I have officially lost 9.2kg since I was admitted to hospital in February! That works out at 1 stone and 6.2825 pounds, or as the nurse put it, three newborn babies! Yay for hospital food diet!

Passed my exams last week, so the weekend was the first time in four years I could actually relax and do nothing. Sat down with the OH last night to start a box set that I have been putting off since I started college, lit the fire, put the feet up and cracked open a bottle of wine. Amazing feeling

Finding my favourite bra in my sock drawer this morning, when I was getting ready for work. I thought I lost it!

My 65 year old father telling me that my liquid eyeliner was "totally al dente" :D:D

(I'm guessing he meant either on point or on fleek; even I'm not sure exactly what either term means!)

Finally got round to taking my driver theory test and passed. I'm a bit nervous but looking forward to starting the lessons

Finally found a really good adblocker for my phone in the form of the Free Adblocker Browser. If this catches on, it could be the end of Independent Newspapers/rag journalism.

Well done
