Small pleasuresFollow

The cat has been sitting outside mewling for me to let him in and feed him. He's been sitting under the lounge windows where I have a luscious border of lavender in full bloom.

He's clearly been wandering in and out of the lavender (probably terrorising the bumble bees that have been humming around the blossom all day).

Right now he's sitting in my lap purring away, and smelling of fragrant lavender.

While I acknowledge that this may mean I'm an ghey, there's something extremely relaxing about stroking a lavender-scented cat on a sunny summer's evening while sipping chilled champagne and listening to Mozart.

You can now all fUck off.

cigarette?

My 2 vices are smoking and *************

I'm a 20 a day man.

Now if I can start to cut down on the smoking. . . .

The good news is that if you're around one cat, you get desensitized to its dander.

Eventually.

And how is the evil plot to take over the world through a series of over-elaborate schemes involving a small army and nuclear laser coming along?

I was sitting at my computer this evening, raiding in EQ2 alongside the husband, bopping along to some music when I realized I had this big grin on my face. And it dawned on me, I am happy with life. Really really happy. I love where we live, I love our town house. I love our fantastic neighbors and love hanging out with them in the afternoon sipping coffee and chatting while our kids play together after school. I love the education my son is getting and how happy he is. I love the friends I have made down here. I love the town, the community, the sense of belonging. I love the fact that there is so much to do within a 15 minute radius. I love the weather.
We're not rich, but we're getting close to where we have very little debt, and the ability to go on really great vacations whenever we want is about a year away. I love the fact we're doing so well after struggling for so long back in Mass. Husband loves his new job, it's taking off in leaps and bounds, and he works from home. He smiles all the time now. I love being able to have dinner with the entire family every night at 5:30 and then all of us hanging out together until its the kids bedtime.

It's not just one thing, but all these little things combined. It's pretty damn cool.

You guys know there's a limited amount of happiness in the world, and the more you have the less there is to go round for everyone else, right? Worst thread evar.

There's just something about being single and making up all sorts of **** that I think will get me laid.

Really Nobby is trying to get the Ranch Doritos flavoring off his ***** while ************ to pics of high school cheerleading competitions and listening to The Cure.

Agreed, but Spiderman is not going to have you for dinner if you are wacking to jr high girls. Besides, he likes regular cheese doritos.

I thought we lefties were the ones who were supposed to politicize every little thing.

I was charging along up the hill on my way home the other day and kinda wondered why everyone I met was smiling and in such a good mood until I realized I had a megawatt grin on my face, haha.

Eight years ago, I still had optimism that Bush would lose the 2000 election. So I was definately better off.

Eight years ago, federal funding of Embryonic Stem Cell research was allowed.
