What's made your day?

[The Lady Mercedes]

This is a thread on another forum or two I'm on so I thought why not add it here: so, what's made your day today? Me, I made some damn good beignets for the 1st time & True Blood has returned-yes!

I went to the John Levique Pirate Days today with a friend, and we had a great time! Then I had rehearsal, where we were all basically laughing for 3 hours straight. Then I watched the Tonys and the latest episode of Drop Dead Diva. Overall, I've had an all-around terrific day!

My daughter and I picked out her VERY FIRST PET yesterday-a FIDDLER CRAB!! She said she wanted one of these a couple weeks ago and I said we couldn't do it because we couldn't afford the tank (even the little ones are like $20 bucks and we're on a restricted budget these days). But, on our weekly saturday jaunt through the garage sales, we found a 2.5 gallon tank set up for three bucks!! Add $2.66 for the crab, and now, my three-year-old has a pet which is amazingly entertaining, doesn't pee on the carpet, and won't shed or wake the neighbors- hooray!!

Given that it's Monday and I'm at work, and yesterday was the closing day of VARF, the list for yesterday is a lot more notable (and will probably be making my days for the next week, for that matter):

My friend Karl "saving" my second set at the Tavern Stage, where it was loud and noisy and people were ignoring me in droves; he came up and played guitar for our performance of the Irish Blues, and the audience came to life. 

Me doing my best to return the favor at Tavern Sing during his performance of a Renaissance version of cluck Old Hen.

Several private performances and conversations under the dining fly for different families, generally breaking my character to bits and pieces answering questions about the internal workings of faire, do I around from faire to faire, am I paid, what do I do in real life, etc.

Having a cast member hunt me down and compliment me on my performance for the Queen's Arrival the previous day (then seeing that Kevin tag me in a photo he took of the performance and posted on Facebook, with me Riverdancing in my period sunglasses).

I'm alive again after 5 1/2 months (Chris having passed in December) thanks to support from Faire-mily.  Met new friends, feel wanted and loved, and if not loved by one person in a long-term relationship anymore, at least found huggable by several!

That is wonderful new Marga.  I am sure things will improve from here on in.

coming home and the first thing i is see when i drive up is my 8yo son waving, smiling and happy to see me.  




btw - great thread idea!  it's nice to reflect on the day, even if it's been a bad one and find something that makes you smile and possibly reduce the stress a bit.  counting our blessings.

a phone call and a chat

[shadowcat546]

Hi....hmm...made my day?.  Ok, on Sat. my friends K & M had their party, K's birthday party.  Nice loud music in the basement (not my kind of music, but I go for the company, if you can hear over the noise).  Steve was there.  He was like "Omg., how are you/what're you up to?!" and __still thought I was cute [from back 15+ yrs ago when we dated, and I was 40 pds lighter], and he and K both gave me hugs and neck rubs.!!!  squeeee!!!  *fans self, cheeks are red**, whew!! being flirted with  (while unhappily single) is sooooo nice.  sigh.

While driving a guy on a motorcycle waved at me at the light ( i admit i was oggling) then as he drove off i saw him stand up and watched him attempt to drive while zipping up his fly. I couldnt stop laughing.

A friend, one who has shown loyalty again and again despite a certain reputation, walked in when the rest of the world walked out and helped me believe in and find myself. This happened last fall but every time I get a phone call or just a thought out of the blue, it helps make my day all the brighter.

Hearing that voice...makes everything ok.
