Went online soon as I woke up to check on a death row dog. She was scheduled to die at the kill shelter yesterday and I did not see her until late last night. I hurriedly pledged money to help save her. She had already been flipped into the UNKNOWN STATUS folder and that is a deadly place for these poor souls to land. They usually go straight to the GONE FOLDER from there. Anyway, this morning I smiled, then laughed out loud, got a little choked up too when I saw this adorable little bully girl in the SAFE FOLDER. A rescue did an awesome scramble to pull her out of that deathtrap at that time in the evening. I am so happy! Now she will get a great forever home! Rescues are so particular about who gets to adopt ... and they do follow up check-ins on the dogs too. If something is not right, they will take the dog back in a heartbeat with no apology.

Shopping, clearance shopping!

I live and breathe rescue, thank you!

That is awesome!

Someone being thoughtful and kind

Being told I'm making someone crazy.. Well that actually made me laugh so hard :)

Life makes me smile

I actually cooked! It's nice to be home this week and can have time to make meals.

Breakfast was steak, scrambled eggs, fresh mushrooms.

Dinner was pork chops, fresh green beans & parmesan risotto. The risotto wsa store bought and it was okay but next time I'll just skip it.

I plan to cook again tomorrow. Yay!

Sending a wonderful person a message, and receiving a beautiful message back. Thank you! It's the kindness and knowing their special and sincere. I look forward to a new and long friendship ahead.

Several things...

I was leaving my client's house at the same time as the dishwasher repair guy....

He asked if he could help me carry my stuff to my car....chivalry is NOT dead in the south y'all....

Also...

I had to ring the Massachusetts DMV for the umpteenth time...and I had a lovely conversation with the clerk up there...about the weather and long winters and gaining weight and the stupidity of the NC DMV system.... I love it here...everyone knows that...but seriously...their system is flawed...

I had a nice talk and many laughs with a male DMV operator on Monday...its funny Cuz in Massachusetts they're not real well known for their niceness at the DMV...where as it was here in NC that I found a rude clerk. Whom I will be writing an official complaint about tomorrow.

But I digress from my happy sunshiny smiling
....

It was great to read you are a huge RESCUE supporter. Sending you big hugs! :)

Want to hear another awesome something? I saw another little pittie girl late last night in the UNKNOWN STATUS folder. I did the exact thing I did the night before. Pledged $$$ to her. That same rescue did the exact same thing too. They pulled her out of harm's way when she was totally out of time. Seeing the little bully girl's sweet face in the SAFE folder this morning, I experienced same good feelings this morning like yesterday morning. I so wish every one of them had the opportunity to live in a forever home with kind, loving people. Every single one of them deserve this.

Smiling because I was called a silly goose! I haven't heard that one in a while

smiling also because I get to enjoy some wonderful company later good stuff all around :)

Having a day to do as I please....again...and still another one ahead of me ...

The river running wild in Chimney Rock...the spot where I stood and took pictures a month ago is now under water...

A nice talk with a lovely, elderly store clerk...

Some yummy fudge from her shoppe...

The tourists looking as awed by the surroundings as I always feel...

Children. With actual manners...

The horses at a farm nearby...

Seeing a forsythia in full bloom....and a camelia too....scary as it is...

1. The look of concentration on my niece's face as she put together her gerbil habitat (that we got her for Christmas)

2. Feeling confident about my resignation from my job

3. Father-in-law made his magical cashew brittle for Christmas again

Getting the package that Austin sent. Opening it to find homemade cookies and a homemade Star Wars blanket. Omg I am so smiling by her. I have never had anyone put that much thought into a gift for me.

everything is making me smile, back from mini honey moon, it was awesome!:wine:

Skype time and phone conversations all day with my Daddy.

My fiancee was sweet to get me things during shopping and helped me prepare my dinner leftovers.
