I’m sitting here sort of surfing the Web on a sunny Sunday morning, but mostly just playing with my daughter. She wanted to me make things out of Play-do with her, so (at her request) I made a Shrek, and then a fish, and both looked pretty good. She’s running around in a nightie with little monkeys on it and she looks insanely cute.
Bacon is cooking. Family’s happy and healthy. There’s a hot coffee here. We’re warm inside our cozy little house, puttering around, happy to be near each other.
I’m working on the Sunday crossword and surfing the net. My two little boys are inventing a game that includes Beanie Babys and Spiderman. Coffee is made and there’s milk in the fridge. It’s a sunny day outside that awaits us with possibilities.
We’re not rich or famous, but we are happy…and I think that counts.
I’m home alone, waiting for a friend to come over for coffee. The thaw is well in place and it’s a balmy 34 right now, going up to 43 today! It’s a picture post card outside: the snow, the relative warmth and all the birds at my feeder. I just finished some homemade banana bread for breakfast and am enjoying a cup of tea.
Life is good today in the Rigby household.
I bought a ‘new’ car yesterday, after driving a 20-year-old piece of shit for a long time, and I had a first date last night and I like him and I think he likes me! Yes, life is good right now!
Yes. Sometimes the small joys and contentment of the days get lost. It’s Sunday, with the whole day ahead. There’s a pot of tea on the stove, good radio to listen to, and some money in the bank. On Monday, we both go to work–maybe a groan sometimes, but all the people who lost their jobs or are still looking for work would love to have a place to go on Monday. I’m sticking to my exercise and eating more healthily plans, and feel better. There’s a small snuggly dog sleeping in with my husband, and I’m going to see Springsteen on the TV this afternoon.
There may be cooking and puttering and laundry, but that’s all good, too.
I am home for the weekend visiting my parents and I am all relaxed.
Talked to the hubby on skype this afternoon - we are 9 hours apart due to work and I miss him but by the power of the internet I can talk to him face to face.
But the world economy is melting down! And AIDS is killing more people in Africa than any war fought there! And Yellow Stone park could erupt into a supervolcano at any moment and wipe out all life on the planet! And that’s if the asteroids don’t kill us all first!!!

Yeah, I’m with you actually. Had a really nice day drinking tea and playing Settlers IV, read some of my book, went to the gym and had a good workout, had a nice lunch at the pub and watched lots of Screenwipe on youtube. The downside being it’s 10 minutes to bedtime in my timezone and it’s work tomorrow. Boo hoo.
Yeah- it seems like everyone I know is having hard times right now except me. My life is better than it’s ever been and I’m doing great and am happy as hell- although not as a central vacuum system installer- ha. But I can’t really go around talking about it, because then it’s like I’m rubbing it in, but just for the record, allow me to say…
My six year old proudly read her first book without prompting today. She’s upstairs now half asleep and half singing her I Don’t Want To Go To Bed song.
