Post something that happened to you today.

[progmom]

You know...and then you could add your post to your journal. :D

[billyskank]

1. OMG *something* must have happened to me today!

Erm...um...I hate it when my mind goes blank! x(

[Left Is Write]

4. KitchenWitch praised you in a thread.

:D

How's that?

[billyskank]

8. She did

It was awesome. And very touching. :blush:

:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

2. No, I can't, because...

I don't have a journal. Just the Space Age Housewife stuff. I don't have enough material for a blog and a DU journal, and I've been feeling sad about that. I want a journal too! I just don't have anything to say!

Something that happened to me today: I was walking along on the treadmill today, reading a celebrity tabloid, when a friend of mine jumped on the machine next to me and surprised me. Instead of reading the trashy celebrity tabloid, I was able to spend the rest of my treadmill time talking with my friend.

[progmom]

10. oh - i love when that happens

...and that reminds me - gotta get my ass to the gym. :hi:

[texas1928]

3. I came to work.

That's about it.

[Left Is Write]

7. You debated ketchup and dissed cavemen.

The question is: what do the cavemen call ketchup?

[KitchenWitch]

5. I have been feverishly burning DVDs of the Kirby Puckett tribute

and the Memorial Service for the out of town Kirby fans that I know. If anyone wants a copy of both discs, please PM me and we will work out the details.

:hi:

[terrya]

6. Well, I bought a book

And...yes, I added that post...

It's obvious I'm not channelling Oscar Wilde while creating my journal...

[Taverner]

9. I spilled coffee all over my laptop

Someone stole my favorite coffee cup, which had a spill proof lid. So I had to use a styro one. Of course it spilled, all over my laptop. So I took the keypad part out, dried off the edges before the coffee seeped into the board, and then used a heat gun to dry the keypad. Now it smells like burnt coffee, but it works.

[SeattleGirl]

11. I had lunch with two friends today, one of whom I had not

seen in two years (he had moved to California, and just recently moved back to Washington). This guy is one of the funniest people I've ever met, and he had me and my other friend in stitches throughout lunch. A very bright spot in my day!

[Bunny]

12. I went to the Dollar Store today, to buy 125 assorted hygiene items.

This was for a work-related function, so I had the company VISA card. As I was unloading the supplies at the register, I asked the clerk: "you DO take Visa, don't you"?. Much to my shock, they do not. So I had to shell out $128.81 of my own money for that stuff. After leaving the store, I went straight to the company CFO and asked for a reimbursement check. Amazingly, he authorized the check on the spot!



Boy, my journal is really going to take off after this post! :rofl:

[Richardo]

57. Bunny: Read this post on your journal today and emailed it to CSPAN

Expect a call soon! :hi:

[Bunny]

69. Oh, I've hit the big time now.

Thanks Richardo - watch for my name in lights! :hi:

[LostinVA]

13. I'm home with a bad cold, and my nose was literally dripping

so badly at one point, I stuffed tissue up it.... how's that?

[LaraMN]

14. Today, I bought new pants.

They are stretchy, green, and accomodate approximately two legs. They're nice pants. Whenever I get new pants, I rub my butt alot. These pants are very rub-able. I also got them off a clearance rack for five dollars. That is all.

[KitchenWitch]

16. You know you got all the pervs with that "rub my butt" comment!

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

19. There are PERVS here?!?!?!

[GirlinContempt]

23. I thought I told you

to stop hitting on me ;)

[file83]

38. the "butt" is to now be referred to as "my hump" or "lovely lady lumps"...

or so I've been told by these guys:

[azmouse]

15. I made ham and bean soup.

[Shine]

17. I went to a physical therapy appointment for my left hip

wow.

[alarimer]

18. Well I decided to go rollerblading

today. But I realized I was so out of practice that I really need to buy a helmet before I go again! I felt so shaky on those things that I was cetain I would crack my skull if I continued. Plus, it really hurt my ankles anf legs! Guess I must be too old for this.

[gollygee]

20. I drove behind this stupid kid

around the time the high school lets out.

Well he stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD to let his girlfriend out. Didn't even pull up her driveway. Just stopped in the street with me behind him. He was leaning in to give her a kiss and I pulled around him.

Then he sped up, caught up to me, and tailgated me. I was going a tad over the speed limit and this was a residential zone. So he tailgated and then sped way up and passed me, and THEN stopped a tiny bit ahead to pull into a subdivision.

ARGH!

[GirlinContempt]

21. I went out shopping and found

gorgeous black boy cut panties with pink trim, and a luscious garter belt, and divine thigh highs, and a fabulous bustier.






no sex threads

[Squeech]

22. Went CD shopping

but didn't buy anything. CD pricing is weird.

One thing I was interested in was a Rush CD for the nephew, one geared to his current skill level on the guitar. (See my journal if you're interested in the details.) The Retrospective collection was priced at $17.99. The CDs of the records where the songs originally appeared were $11.98 each. Feh.

I looked at some other bands for comparison. Every Beatles CD was $15.98. Every Rolling Stones CD was $16.98-- except there was a copy of Beggars Banquet (one of my faves) that had an extra sticker, 2 for $22. (But I couldn't find another Stones CD with the same sticker, let alone one I wanted.) Pricing on Yes and Cream was even more random. (Yeah, I am that old.) Coltrane CDs were $16.98; I forgot to check Monk.

I checked out some classical too, briefly. Since most classical music is in the public domain, it can be priced really cheap, especially older recordings, or starving Eastern European orchestras. There was a line of obvious budget CDs, newbie's guides to Beethoven or Tchaikovsky, priced at $7.99. And yet there was also a series of recordings of Olivier Messiaen, a 20th century composer I once even saw in the flesh, whose CDs were even cheaper: Quartet for the End of Time for $5.99, and Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jesus (a big sprawling piano suite in 20 movements, takes up two CDs) for $10.99. Somebody out there really wants to build an audience for Messiaen, which is fine with me!

[AirmensMom]

24. I was sick all day and my friend died.

I want a refund. :cry:

[Blue Diadem]

37. Oh gosh I'm so sorry.

25. A co-worker who'd been actively trying to sabotage me....

...had her nefarious little campaign blow up in her vindictive little face, and through no action on my part (in fact, I ended up in a better work situation because of it). It was pure karma, and it's been beautiful to behold.

[skygazer]

26. Went to a funeral

A friend from work's girlfriend died this past week - cancer. I only met her once but I've worked with him for years - he's a good friend. Felt I needed to go and offer him my support. Quite a few co-workers went which I was glad to see. He's a good guy, pretty broken up. She was only 47, died at home in bed and he was unfortunate enough to find her. :(

Funerals are strange. This was a Catholic funeral and while I respect people's beliefs, I don't share them at all so it's odd for me to sit through these rituals. They mean nothing to me and I feel very detached as I observe. It seems fantastic to me that people actually believe this stuff about going to heaven and living with god - I don't mean to offend those who believe; it's just hard for me to fathom. I realize it offers people comfort and the hope that when they die, there's something else and something better. I personally have no problems believing that when I die, I just won't be here anymore.

Still, it was a nice service and my friend held up well. I hope it offered him comfort - I know he appreciated the presence of his friends.

[SofaKingLiberal]

27. I clicked on this thread.

:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. What happened to me today? Well........

I got a phone call from my good friend KitchenWitch!

It was so nice to look at my caller ID, and recognize her number.....

She is a sweetheart! And a true friend!

As are you, my dear progmom!

I do recall that you've done this sort of thread before.....

You did one of these last year, and it holds special significance for me...

I'll go get it, and put the link here for you.....And after that, I will PM you.....

:loveya: :hug:

29. I went back to work

after a 5 day...um...trip...to Nebraska. I'm fighting a cold. I'm tired. I want to be home in bed. Other than that, the sun is shining and I'm not in Nebraska anymore, so all is good.

[fleabert]

[Texasgal]

31. Well, I found out today that there are people here on DU

That think having sex with a 14 year old is OKAY. :mad:

I buried my best Friend this morning and delivered his eulogy the best that I could. :cry:

That's about it.

[AirmensMom]

71. Oh, my, Texasgal!

I'm really sorry about your friend. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[dolo amber]

[IsIt1984Yet]

35. How about something that DIDN'T happen to me today.

I didn't lose my job. :)

It's been one of "those" days.

[file83]

36. I watched 2 X-Files episodes.

[NMDemDist2]

39. I made a custom shipping box in my garage for a commercial

coffee brewer

[graywarrior]

41. I sat at the county fair wondering where I went wrong that I cannot

be happy eating 2 to 3 elephant ears smeared with strawberry jelly, buy $100 worth of Alabama t-shirts, wear a halter and let my fat belly stick out over my tight tight blue jeans, have tattoo's on my lower back and shoulder, and leave my teeth at home (if I have any to leave in the jar, that is).

Why? Why? Why? did god do this to me? Is sleeping with your brother really that bad?

[smirkymonkey]

43. I got a HUGE Raise today!

Seriously - out of the blue! I have only been at this job a little over 6 months and just got over a 20% raise. I am still kind of shocked - like I don't trust it or something. I am one of those people who thinks I am always about to get fired.

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. I almost fell off the roof

Since the tree trimmers finished trimming my big ol' crooked willows, I was all, "Cool, now I can push up the teevee antenna." As I was doing so, the top mast section separated from the lower section — I went a bit too far — and there was that split-second of "If I try to save the antenna, am I gonna die?"

Fortunately, I managed to do the first and avoid the second. But there's no excuse for being that stupid.

Now — I ain't got a journal, so whadda I do? :shrug:

[Tikki]

47. OK, here we go.....

...today the construction company poured 1500 square feet of concrete at our home and we
now have one of the largest and longest driveways around....over 70 feet long and nearly 20 feet wide...:woohoo:







Tikki

[seemunkee]

48. I ate a whole box of Tagalong Girl scout cookies

And I have no guilt

[Merrick]

49. I wrote an article as a retarded skinhead

it's not what I'm paid to do, but sometimes it works out that way.

[flamingyouth]

50. Today I went to a biofeedback session.

And later on I did an hour of advanced Pilates. All in all, a very good day. Despite the various back and neck problems. :D

On edit - I did this for the first time in a while.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

51. I was reacquainted with why I decided to take the path...

I'm taking career-wise and felt very at peace and at home. I am content with my destiny despite the work and the bullshit I've had to go through at times. I feel grateful that in another year I will finally be getting paid (well) to do something I enjoy, feel good about, and do very well. :)

[sendero]

52. I got pulled over...

... I was driving on Hwy 56 between Sherman and Whitesboro, through a little 500 population town called Southmayd.

I was yakking to my brother on the cell phone. Suddenly I see the lights behind me. Told him, "gotta go, getting pulled over."

The officer informed me that the speed limit was 55. I told him that I knew it was at some point along the road, but I was blabbing on my cell and didn't see the sign.

He asked for my license. Then for my insurance card. Then he gave them back and said "watch your speed through here".

Now, you gotta understand, these little one-horse towns in Texas generally write every ticket they can write. He started walking off and I asked him "you aren't going to write me up?". He said "no".

You could have knocked me over with a Kleenex. :)

[populistdriven]

73. Saw a State Patrol checking speeders so I flashed the oncoming traffic :)

[Dinger]

54. Got A Call From My Son Who Went To His First Political Forum And . . .

spoke up to a freeper! He always kind of gives me shit about my "politickin', but I know he thinks like me, and he just had to call me and tell me all about it:patriot:




That's my boy! (24 -yr old boy that is :)

[SeattleGirl]

55. Great son you have there!

[eyesroll]

63. You're not gonna come to Drinking Liberally like that, are you?

:hurts:

[Magrittes Pipe]

65. I'm gonna be loaded full of beans...

...then I'm gonna drink some beer.

Wonder if the wings will have any added effect? :shrug:

[eyesroll]

67. Probably not -- the wings are grilled and not too spicy.

(They're good in their own right, though.)

[Magrittes Pipe]

68. Maybe I'll get some Indian food beforehand, instead.

:D

[1gobluedem]

61. I took out the garbage and recycling

No matter how warm the winter, we always get snow on the first day of spring.
