Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: jimmyt Date: 25 Sep 06 - 06:57 AM I get to go to work in an hour. I am one of those rare folks that celebrate TGIM. I love Monday mornings. I love to see my staff and see how their weekend was, to get started back working on patients, to drink the best coffee in the world and to visit with my patienrs, tell a couple jokes sing a bit all day long. I spent the weekend buying nrw furnature and art to redecorate my reception room which had managed to slip into an eighties look. I also made fudge for my mother-in-law who is in a rehab facility dealing with a recent hip replacement. She told me how on the telephone yesterday and it came out marvelous. Jayne is going to Ohio today to deliver my candy. Ah yes. It will be a grand day. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Sep 06 - 07:22 AM It's a good day because today is the first day in 2 weeks that I've not been in agony thanks to an abcess on my upper canine tooth. It's also the first day that my glasses haven't sat crookedly on my face because of the swelling of said abcess. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 30 Sep 06 - 02:39 PM Today is a good day because I played my violin in the Fabulous 1890's Festival Motorless Parade that was held today! I played old-timey music and approximately 70 children sang along to the 1,000+ people along the parade route. I had THE best time and can't wait to do it again next year! Michelle PS...the children and I were dressed in time period clothing which made it all the more fun!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 08 Oct 06 - 06:14 PM Today is a good day because I got to go out for breakfast with my husband, mother-in-law and her fiance. We had a great visit and afterwards my husband and I went for a drive in the woods. It is a beautiful day, the sky is blue, the leaves are changing and it was very relaxing! We spent the afternoon at the house of a friend who turned 60 today! We were part of a little surprise party that her daughter had planned. She was surprised and we had fun catching up with folks we haven't seen in a bit! Now we are home, my work is done and I have tomorrow all to myself....YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 20 Oct 06 - 05:41 PM Today was a very bittersweet day. It was the last day of my first placement in student teaching. My experience has been absolutely incredible and leaving was really tough. Today is a good day, though. Today I received multitudes of letters (90+) full of fond memories of the last 8 weeks. One 11 year-old young lady wrote me the following: Mrs. Lilyfestre The woman who I know made learning a lot less difficult for some people. The lady who taught me so much, opptamism (her spelling!), happiness and joy. The Person who always seemed to have something good to say. The Student Teacher who was THE BEST!! There were many others that made me realize exactly how big of an impact I had on the children and in more ways than I had anticipated. The love they showed me today was amazing and that makes today a FANTASTIC (said in 6th grade fashion....you had to be there!) day!!!! Michelle |

From: LilyFestre Date: 06 Nov 06 - 08:58 PM My husband walked in the door and surprised me with a kayaking and fishing vacation....10 days to explore and poke around the coastal and marshlands along the east coast!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOO...I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 07 Nov 06 - 12:27 AM After several hours of thought & work, I created shelves for my 52 Mudcat CDs - now I have 3 shelves about 12'/30cm long on the back of my computer desk For yonks I've had most of the Mudcat CDs resting precariously on 3 metal bookends sitting on top of the back of said desk. The rest sat in front of the printer almost getting in the way. Now I have a wonderful homemade (it's definitley not handcrafted!) set of shelves. I've jut got to make sure any visiting handyperson/carpenter doesn't take a close look. But I did it & it works!! sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: JennyO Date: 10 Nov 06 - 08:21 AM Mainly because it's nearly over. Actually it was a bloody horrible rotten day, full of stress, and everything that could possibly go wrong, did. I don't even have a chance to enjoy a weekend in the garden, which I had originally planned to do, because my father-in-law died on Wednesday, so I'm being picked up by my son at 6.30 tomorrow morning and I'm spending the weekend in Kempsey at a family gathering with my ex-husband's family. My daughter may or may not make it depending on whether she can get her act together enough. More stress either way. That's a whole 'nother story. To be fair, these are nice people - it's just that after this week I REALLY could have done with a quiet weekend with my beans and tomatoes. Then when I come back on Monday there will be the matter of my car to deal with. All of a sudden the most reliable car in the world is starting to play up, and they haven't got to the bottom of the problem yet because it's an intermittent problem. It behaved perfectly when the NRMA came to have a look. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 11 Nov 06 - 07:30 PM Today is a good day because I got to catch up on some much needed rest. :) I love rainy days when I have time to snuggle in with a good book and sleep to my heart's content. :) Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: JennyO Date: 13 Nov 06 - 07:51 AM Today is a good day because I'm back from my stressful weekend which was a mixture of some fun and some pretty awful family squabbles - and the vege garden is looking brilliant. I want to hug my tomato plants, but they have tomato dust on them, so I won't. Now I need a weekend to recover from my weekend! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 14 Nov 06 - 08:13 PM Today is a good day because: 1. All my lessons went extremely well. 2. I had dinner with a good friend complete with lots of laughter. 3. I just finished baking 7 loaves of pumpkin bread to share with folks I love. 4. My house smells absolutely divine! Michelle :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: GUEST,saulgoldie Date: 15 Nov 06 - 04:42 PM After a short terror concerning our flight reservations not having gone through, we finally found out that they HAD actually gone through. Whew! It would have cost us either double the price for the tickets or we would have had to get up at 2 in the morning to make it to a substitute flight at 6. But that has been resolved. And everything is taken care of at work, and I am (mostly) packed and the remaining items on my list will be quickly handled. And then...off to the wedding in Sao Paulo, where I go from Autumn-into-Winter to Spring-into-Summer, and the warm embrace of lovely wife's family and friends! And fresh, sweet mangoes and papaya. And figgos, too. Love them figgos. (Them's dried figs before they get dried. A whole different experience eating them fresh and juicy.) I wish all 'Catters a wonderful Thanksgiving, and none of that routine dysfunctional family stuff that we hear so much about. Tchau! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: JennyO Date: 16 Nov 06 - 11:14 AM Tomorrow's Friday - weekend's coming up, my vege garden is growing fast, I have lots of tomatoes getting bigger but still green, I picked my very first dwarf beans - spring is such an exciting time in the garden! Also I now have everything I need for my Santee. I just need to get it all together and send it. The only other thing I have to do this weekend is host a CD launch at my folk club on Sunday, which will involve some work, but it will be worthwhile. It's a performance of "Yarri of Wiradjuri", which John wrote 9 years ago, and it has now been recorded - more about it here and here After last weekend, it's just good to be home doing normal things! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 17 Nov 06 - 08:29 PM you got me counting days Wilfried, I have 13 weeks left before I retire. 13 weeks is 65 days, but as I will no longer be working Wednesdays, this means I only have 52 days left. I'll be working 4-day weeks cos my wonderful Assistant Director says I can use some of my remaining holidays to attend a Craft group that meets on Wednesdays!! Only 52 days to go!! Oops, I forgot the Christmas shutdown & a long weekend for a Festival so it's even less. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: rock chick Date: 17 Nov 06 - 08:37 PM Today is a good day, and why should it not be as it only 1.40am here and so far its not been bad, time will tell!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: JennyO Date: 17 Nov 06 - 08:44 PM It's a gorgeous day, the wind has dropped and the sun is shining. The Christmas bush is reddening and looks wonderful against the blue sky. I spotted my first red cherry tomato, there's a cucumber almost full size, the climbing beans are rocketing up the frame and small beans are starting, I'm getting little purple, yellow and red capsicums, and little basil plants are finally popping up from seed that I scattered. Lots more, but generally, it's a pleasure to be in the garden. Everything's coming together for John's CD launch tomorrow. This thing looks like being bigger than Ben Hur. Now we've got complimentary champagne for early arrivals and gawd knows what else. Should be fun! I'll try and remember your parsley Sandra, but with everything else going on, I wonder if I will? No good putting it in the car now - it would cook. |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: Diva Date: 18 Nov 06 - 06:28 AM Well its bright and cold and not that horrible grey. My brain is slowly returning from under the fog, so hopefully I'll be able to sort out the essay problem!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: GUEST Date: 29 Nov 06 - 12:07 AM I sent out resumes, so now they are out of my hands and it is no longer up to me. The sun was shining. I wore my favorite shoes. I learned words to a new song. I talked to mom. My friend is doing better. I remembered something that is important to me. |

From: LilyFestre Date: 23 Dec 06 - 11:41 PM I received my grades today from the university and was most happy to see that I earned myself a 4.0! :) To celebrate, my husband took me out to dinner at a local favorite (Wren's Nest...check it out if you're ever in the area!). When we arrived, we were seated only to find a note on the table...hmmmm. He read it first and chuckled. I opened it and found the following: Enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine, your choice. CONGRATULATIONS! We KNEW you could do it all along! Love, My best girlfriend & Kids :) So...thanks Love for the WONDERFUL evening out and that little black box....and thanks to you my friend for a very thoughtful surprise!!!!! :) :) :) Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because...... From: LilyFestre Date: 12 Jan 07 - 06:01 PM This is a VERY bad and good day wrapped up in one because: My oldest step-brother and his girlfriend have been smelling something odd in their apartment for the last few days. Last night she asked him about carbon monoxide and didn't they have a carbon monoxide detector up in the attic? He believed they did and the two went looking for the detector. They didn't find it. He offered to go to Wally World and get one. She said it could wait until morning. During the night, she died of carbon monoxide poisoning. My step-brother was taken to the ER and it was found that they both contained equal amounts of poison in their systems. He is ok. She is gone. I'm so happy that he is ok that I can't stand myself and in the same breath, I am horrified that she isn't. I wish they would have put up their detector when they got it. If you have one, put it up. If you don't have one, get one. Michelle |
