HappyUP!!! Day 2190

HappyUP!!! - going to grocery
Why it happened - nice day
Why it makes me happy - been knocked out by a cold for two days...so blessed that I have been able to "lay low" and take care of myself.  Not over the cold....but I felt good enough to go to the store and make a new healthy recipe

HappyUP!!! - new recipe
Why it happened - stuck watching TV
Why it makes me happy - this is a GREAT healthy and fun thing to make....vegetable pie. Delicious

HappyUP!!! - idiot
Why it happened - idiots happen
Why it makes me happy - the people that count.....that are around the idiot.....saw and felt what the idiot did. Personally, I sooooooo wish the idiot would have not behaved like an idiot...but he did. I'm just glad that the important people in my life saw what happened and took it at the "value" that was provided.  Damn......such a setback to what could be a healthy situation.

JJ

HappyUP!!! - opening up
Why it happened - I am trustworthy
Why it makes me happy -  I was sick as a dog. Yet....Toastmasters must go on. While I would not want to infect anyone, I have the key to the building. I got up at 6:15 and opened the building.....so a wonderful meeting could happen...even though I "opened and left" like a ghost

HappyUP!!! - pulled pork care package
Why it happened - I am so lucky
Why it makes me happy - my girlfriend was all over making sure I had sustenance.....more than I was. It was so delicious and more than I could have done for myself. I love her sooooo much

HappyUP!!! - not TOO sore of a throat
Why it happened - I'm sick....I have a cold
Why it make me happy - I can deal with a stuffed nose....and a cough....both irritating. The thing I HATE about being sick is a sore throat. It irritates everytime you swallow. I will only call my throat this time as "scratchy."  I am so blessed to be "sick....but not that sick."

JJ

Opening up for the club
Not TOO sore of a throat
Pulled pork care package

HappyUP!!! Day 2188

HappyUP!!! - life is good
Why it happened - I woke up "grimy"
Why it makes me happy - so grateful to be retired. Back in the day, if I woke up a "little off," I would go into the office. NO reason one should ever go in and infect someone at the height of being able to transfer a sickness. It was awesome that I had the ability to lay low today

HappyUP!!! - partner on 18

Feeling great today

HappyUP!!! Day 2181

HappyUP!!! - Inauguration
Why it happened - we do that
Why it makes me happy - it is easy to say that all of the pomp and circumstance for a re-elected president is a waste of money.  One could make a very good case for that. Yet, at the same time, it does remind all of we Americans about who we are and where we came from

HappyUP!!! - mowing
Why it happened - I couldn't wait
Why it makes me happy - the grass wasn't that long as it doesn't grow much during the winter. There were a few twigs and leaves left over from shedding of the trees. It's all cleaned up and looking good

HappyUP!!! - MLK Day
Why it happened - it happens every day
Why it makes me happy - there are many who don't agree with this as a holiday...I get that. I am not one of them. MLK was the vital cog that led to righting a wrong that, despite going to war within ourselves, never really got fixed.  It's worth celebrating the fulfillment of a commitment.

HappyUP!!! - 49er win
Why it happened - it almost didn't
Why it makes me happy - my teams have been on the end of bad calls/no calls in the past. I'd like to feel sorry for Atlanta. They were on the short end of a "no call" today. It probably would have been a loss if the call had gone the other way.  On to the super bowl

HappyUP!!! - tasty snackers
Why it happened - it's Championship Sunday
Why it makes me happy - nothing better than a great game and something fun to eat

HappyUP!!! - helping on that homework

The only solution? You have to put the other stuff away....put the nose on that grindstone.....and slug it out.

Why it makes me happy - frost delay in the morning to shorts in the afternoon. It's like a change of seasons within 6 hours. How cool is that?

HappyUP!!! Day 2177

HappyUP!!! - Lance interview
Why it happened - I guess the dude had to get something off his chest
Why it makes me happy - he pretty much came across as expected.  He is someone that willingly and knowlingly continued to do a bad thing.  He denied doing it.  Then....and only then.....when he was caught in his lies, he had to come out and admit he lied.  He can never be trusted. I LOVE the sport of cycling. I am happy that Lance Armstrong will now take his place as an insignificant speed bump back down the road

HappyUP!!! - Chinese food
Why it happened - family dinner
Why it makes me happy - I hadn't had good Chinese food in a long time.  I had to order some more traditional fare for my little buddy.......which he devoured. At the same time, he was all over one of the chinese side dishes
