My son :) Now I know that sounds odd...but every day he does/says something totally unexpected that makes me smile. Such as my avatar...that was a picture of my parents dog he drew...I smile every time I see that...its just so cute, lady is so happy in that picture, and he even remembered her stumpy tail ;)

Went grocery shopping tonite and stopped at the snack bar to get my son a hot dog...they were all out, so he said a cheeseburger with no cheese ;) then decided hed rather have a pretzel. The guy forgot he had changed his order and cooked the hamburgers anyway...then gave them to my son for free :)

May not have been the healthiest dinner on the planet but I had a virtually stress free shopping experience because my son and niece were busy stuffing their faces ;)

Walking through Euston Station at rush hour listening to the theme from Hawaii Five-0 on my iPod.  Made it a much more pleasant experience.

It put a smile on my face... which I'm sure looked quite odd to those around me  ;)
But methinks I'll do it as a regular thing now.  It was just kinda perfect.

Johnny Cash and a walk through Bristol is a good combo!  ;D

My 9 month old niece falling asleep on me while I fed her last night.  It was so sweet.

Tripping on the stairs at school (well that's not the unexpected pleasure bit), dropping my stuff everywhere (still not the good part) and a really cute and maybe even interesting/intelligent guy stopped and helped me pick up everything...then walked me to class...then asked me to go out for ice cream this weekend!  :D

I tripped up the stairs on the first day of High School and all I got was laughed at :\\\'(

But that is really cool!

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

I officially have a crush!!! He called me tonight like he said he would and we talked for about 2 1/2 hrs.   :o  He was funny, non-redneck, had traveled outside the USA, same religion, likes to dance (real dance...ballroom, latin, etc). Very rare for someone at my uni!!!!
