The Non Rant of the Day! Happy things!

[stickyvicky]

Since you guys have your rant of the day, I wanted to start the opposite thread. The rant thread is good, it's funny and appreciated, but it's also a little negative so I wanted to balance it out, with THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. Just little things.

Yesterday I did laundry and every single sock matched! I was very delirious about that, because usually the washer or dryer eats one or two and I'm left putting single socks away in the drawer. They eventually turn up weeks later, but I'm very happy when it all matches.. just a tiny thing I know but it made me smile.

Ah this is a good idea Vicky! I had a neighbor bring me 2 dumpling squash fresh out of the garden. I will fix one today as they are ready to eat! Yummy!!!

[stickyvicky]

I had no idea what dumpling squash was so i googled it.

[hennar2017]

Yep that is it and they are so sweet! I put butter and brown sugar in the middle and bake. It is almost like a syrup----calories!!

Lets see...a non-rant...pretty cool idea :) Ok, here's something. I'm back to work after having about 8 weeks off after surgery, and I am actually enjoying my time back at the office. Seems a little strange I know, but I guess I just miss doing something with my day besides recovering.

Oh yea, and on a side note, some friends of ours have turned both Connie and myself on to a new App that is helping us with some much needed guidance to manage our eating habits....so far so good. We are down a few pounds and finding new ways to plan and track our meals...pretty neat :)

I am still on the food kick! lol Another friend gave me some fresh tomatoes. Pretty soon the garden stuff will be gone but sure have enjoyed the vegies this summer. The happy thing is also that I have such good friends who think of me! I am truly thankful and happy!

This is such an awesome idea Vicky.

Last Friday we had our turkey workout, it was Thanksgiving here last Monday. What we do is all day Friday the workouts are open to anyone who wishes to take part, all I ask is for a donation to the food bank here, but if you have nothing to give, that's OK, no judging here.

We gave 31 turkeys, 7 hams, just over 60lbs of potatoes and lots of fresh veggies, also 2 buffalo roasts, a goose and 2 ducks. It's always a good feeling to do a little part to help those that don't have much.

The workout is fun, but I still make it challenging, the idea is to make a turkey as you finish every exercise. Only one person was able to finish in the hour, most of the turkeys looked like they got hit by a train

What do you mean "make a turkey"? You mean gobble and flap your wings?

By the way do you know the difference between a blonde and a turkey?

The turkey says "Cock a doodle doo!"

The blonde says "Any Cock will do!"

Right Miss Vette!
I think that because you started this thread, you deserve a good spanking! And I will give you one if/when we meet!
I think that this is the right thread to post this, because it would surely make me happy to put you over my knee........................

No spankings from me!!! Spankings are for punishment not for fun. I would rather pat that particular part of the body! LOL

The funny thing about getting older - the things you used to hate as a kid, spankings and naps, are now the things you love as an adult....

[hotjulie]

Vicky to make the turkey everyone started with a 3" Styrofoam ball, as you finished an exercise you picked out a part to complete your turkey. A 2 minute wall sit and you got the left eye, 100 jumping jacks for the right eye, 20 push ups for the beak, one minute right side plank for the right wing, left side plank for the right wing. Then there were red, blue, green, pink, yellow, orange and purple feathers to add, a different exercise for each feather. It wasn't impossible to build it, but challenging. The beak and wings you made out of coloured pipe cleaners

You wear me out Julie just reading your post! As you probably can tell I am lazy and laid back. LOL

And there's something else important about this day, but I can't quite recall what it is. I must be getting old...

[hennar2017]

My happy rant for today... I just finished the classic Sudoku, which is in our local newspaper, and got it right! It was level 3 so yeah for me! Love this numbers game. (sometimes)
