I'm feeling lonely and am turning to my DOD friends and family for company.

As some of you know, I injured my back 6 weeks ago and have been home from work since. I've been able to visit with my mom during this time, but have been home for a week now alone. I guess tonight it's catching up with me.

So...not to get real sad or mushy, but happy thoughts and good news would be wonderful right now...especially after my previous two posts announcing recent passings.

Thanks everyone...

(((((((((((((((((((DOD)))))))))))))))))))))))

I don't have anything to share, but this hug. (((Jeni))) I hope you start to feel better soon.

Thanks Loca...

((((((((((((((((Loca))))))))))))))))))

PS...ANYTHING you say has always put a smile on my face...I have to say you're one of the funniest people I've never met (in person)...

LOL that reminds me of something I told hubby today. My nephew (Mike) is spending a few weeks with us, so today we went to a HUGE mall to keep him busy. We had him play games at Dave and Buster's, went to eat, etc. I came home tired. I told hubby, "Mike's the child I never wanted." LOL That's not how I meant for it to sound. I meant that for now we have a small feel of what it's like to be parents and since we don't want kids, he's the kid we don't want. or something like that.

nevermind, maybe you had to have been there.

Loca...I understood you completely...

I've heard from other's that kids you can return are the best ones to have...

I got the apartment that I wanted. My LL Bean backpack came and it looks very nice~ and Im waiting for my Birkis to come.

They are all superficial things but whatever makes me happy at the moment.
Hope all is well with everyone else.

Congrats on your new place

Do you mean Birkenstocks? If yes, tell me the style and color you ended up choosing for your first pair. Curious deadheads want to know

Jeni, well I finally met with my client last week and I should be able to start the project within the next week or so. It turned out to be more work than I originally quoted, so the extra cash will be great. I also have a job interview for a decent FT tech writing/web coding position on Tuesday morning (see us freelancers get real excited if a "good one" wants to meet us. it's such a rarity these days

) So I am hopeful that I may get an "inside job" again real soon.

Congrats Atlanta Gal...sounds like a lot is falling into place for you

Hi Jeni, what made me happy today, was buying new clothes. Some capri pants and a nice top, at a bargain price. Can't wait to wear them!

Happiness is also, a cheese and steak submarine sandwich which I had for dinner.

Jeni I am going to wish you a wonderful peaceful night of sweet dreams, and a sunny day to lift your spirits tomorrow. Hope your back feels better soon!

(Some pretty sayings I thought you might like):
"A smile can open a heart faster than a key can open a door."

"The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay; love isn't love until you give it away."

"To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world."

The last one is my favorite!

Thank you 3tbear...you know shopping sounds good...might have to surf a little tonight and see what I can find.

Thank you again for all your well wishes...they are very sweet

Ag, I went to Dillard and tried on the Boston Taupe Suede Classic. I like the feel of it and so I went back home and ordered a pair of Birkenstock Boston. LOL. My first pair - I cannot wait til it arrives

I saw the Arizona and it looks cute! It will have to wait til next summer because this summer I have to save some money to furnish the apartment.

Jeni-
Which one have you got on order? I picked the clogs because I need the shoes to be closed-toes to wear in lab and stuff. I will later explore and venture out to other nifty Birkies

a cheese and steak submarine sandwich which I had for dinner.
MMMMMM... MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES......
