Reasons to smile

I guess not everyone needs to find a reason, but... What made you smile and/or laugh today?

My first LOL of the day was caused by this LOLdog.

I went to the uniform laundry room at work yesterday, to ask if I could try on a size smaller in my trousers. And they fit! The laundry lady asked me if I needed a new shirt, too, so I tried the next size down in that, too. And it fit! Wow. My pants had been slipping down my hips a little for weeks, but last week they got ridiculously slippy. So happy to have confirmation that my body's changing shape/size a little. :iloveyou:

Humming along to the occasional good song at work... it's amazing how much it can lift my mood. ;)b

Overhearing customers' reactions when they can't decide whether flowers are real or not. It's hilarious either way - when they think fake are real, or real are fake. ;D

Since starting Cali on a raw diet on May 20th, fur is starting to grow in places where I never thought it would grow again from her mange.  Her coat was also very greasy and it stopped being greasy on day two of putting her on a natural diet. 

My 4 baby squirrels are leaving the balcony during the day to explore.  Coming back only early evening to play and sleep.  Hopefully they will soon move on and I can screen off my balcony.  I love them but want my balcony back.

Biko, my parrot turned 19 June 1st.  :)>>>  Isabela, my Mexican street dog died June 1st three years ago.  :'(  But I now look at her picture and remember all the love and joy she brought in to my life.  OK, I still shed a tear but I know she paved the path for Cali to enter my life.

I discovered sunflower sprouts and they are oh so yummy in a sandwich! With tomato, avocado, and tofurky slices.

My husband's birthday dinner at the in-laws last night, he requested his mum's traditional lasagne, it's one of those supreme comfort foods for him.
Because my mother-in-law is awesome, she also made up a small dish of pumpkin, tomato, onion, celery and red wine lasagne for me.  The family decided between them that my dish was better than their childhood favourite!
I was so stoked! Love it when non-veg*ns get surprised by how awesome vegan food can be, it seriously helps ease the path to conversion... hehehe

My favorite bar in the city has had $3 burger specials on Mondays for some time now. The past few times I've gone they've given me my choice of veggie burger or black bean burger for $3 as well, even though it's not technically on the "burger menu." At first I thought our waitress was just being nice to me (I was with a bunch of omnis the first time) but no, I found out today that it's actually part of the special now. Cheap veggie burgers and good beer! Hooray!

Got my teeth cleaned and a tooth filled yesterday, and it didn't take all day. And she was painless(the dentist I mean.) We were done in like an hour.

CW, he seems to be doing well now. He's 9 years old so I was kind of concerned about them doing the surgery and whether he would make it, but it's been a few days now and everything seems to be going smoothly (well, as smoothly as it can after something like this!) I talked to my co-worker yesterday & she said that if we waited 15 more minutes the dog probably wouldn't have survived. :/ but he did! Now, if only my work would reward me in some way, like giving me a raise...heh.

here's a picture of Sydney:

My reason to smile today is VW - even when I'm having a really crappy week, I know that I always have my VW friends.  Thanks for always being here  :)>>>

Over the weekend I ate a minimum of six pounds of blueberries - and stopped pooping.  It might have been fiber overload.  Last night I finally had a poop and thought of vegweb.

no poop was involved, maybe *ahem* egg-like consistency fluids!

Damn....You really did save his life. :)>>> I hope that Your coworkers/employers at least make You like, Employee of the Month or something...

Oh, and I'm smiling about the fact that Urban Dictionary has the following definitions for...
Whargarbl:
(n.) A useless or unproductive excersize.
(v.) To waste time and effort.
(n.) The noise made by a dog's mouth as it bites the stream of water coming from a lawn sprinkler.

:D

that's funny... I often think of VegWeb whenever I have a really good poop.
and I'm totally not kidding, hehe...
