Happiness Is...

Does anyone else remember those Peanuts books from the 70s that gave examples of what happiness is? The only one in the book I can remember is:

Happiness is...waking up to find you have two more hours to sleep.

I'm having a Happiness is.. moment.

Happiness is...being cuddled up under blankets on a chilly Autumn day with a purring cat at your side and immersing yourself in the Internet.

Yeah. I'm just happy right now.

Picture Heavy

Early this morning, I went on a picture-taking binge. Here's what came out of it.

( lotsa photos, doo da, doo da )

If I were half as photogenic as my animal pals, I'd be kicking Cindy Crawford's arse all over the place.

2300 Lexmark and SCEC

There was a reason for not going to Sparkle City on Friday: I discovered upon telefiling for my unemployment today that I have an appointment with the South Carolina Employment Commission tomorrow at 2 PM. This is the meeting where I have to prove that I've been trying to find a job. So I pulled out my brand new Lexmark 2300 printer/scanner combo and installed the necessary software, then printed out all the Monster.com confirmations that I've gotten since The Pit gave me the boot.

The new printer ROCKS and is so superior to any other printer I've ever had, even though it pretty much cost half as much. I predict that, in the coming months, this printer/scanner combo is going to prove itself invaluable to me.

Sick Bebbeh

Shmoop is sick. She's come down with some bug. This morning, I gave her some Amoxil Drops and will do the same tomorrow morning. If she's not considerably better by Tuesday morning, Shmoop is going to see Dr. Patch. For now, she's all puny and clingy, wanting "mama" to make it all go away, so I'm going to have to put away the computer and snuggle with her. She's already lying part way on the keyboard.
