I've driven in the rain for half a day and nothing has gone right. For the millienth time I wonder why the hell I do this job. My wife calls and tells me somebody wants to talk to me.
Aubrey- Papaw!
Me- Aubrey!
Aubrey- Papaw!
Me- Aubrey!
Aubrey- Papaw!
Me- Aubrey!
Aubrey-beep boop beep beep
Me- Who are you calling sweetheart?
Aubrey- Papaw!
Me- Well, you got me.
Aubrey- Bye!
Me- Bye darlin.
My wife- She brought the phone to me and said your name, I know you are busy but I couldn't say no.
Me- That's quite alright. It made my day.
Aubrey is 2.
Aww... yes, that is really sweet. Something about family & loved ones can really be touching like nothing else.

Today I went to see my aunt, and it made me happy that she's still in good health and spirit - she's 81 years old. We had blueberry pie, coffee and hours of talking of everything under the sun :)
And a smaller, somewhat vain little happiness: I bought 2 Desigual skirts... But they're soooo pretty!! :cheeky:

I remember going to see my great aunt before she passed, fixing her roof and stuff, afterwards we would sit down to eat a good country meal and she would tell me all the old time dirt in the family. Aunts know the good stuff.

She told me the style it was done in but I'm damned if I can remember those things. It's the pic I used to use for my profile. My fourth grade fat lip. She says it isn't finished. I think she got it. And yeah, I'm bragging on my kid.
The "saint" part made me laugh.

This made me smile and was a great way to start off my Sunday morning:

Awesome painting, Tocky! Or should I say St. Tocky :D
Mudd is adorable :joke:
I'm happy I got a grant from a foundation. Not big, but it'll keep me working for about 3 months :) Also it's been a great day, lazy rainy sunday, reading and napping and bit of outdoors and yummy Chinese takeout (I could never make such delicious tofu curry myself). Now it's getting dark so I lit some candles, they give such serene and beautiful light.

I like this thread! And that's a fun video, Dia, reminds me of (
http://youtu.be/c8xJtH6UcQY) this but yours is even better.
So, I'm still feeling happy from yesterday (I hope that still counts! :p) because I got to watch my favourite football (soccer) team for the first time in
ages. I wasn't expecting much from the game, my favourites hadn't been playing very well lately, and this time they had an away match against a better team... but against all expectations my team went on to win 5-0 after an absolutely magnificent display, and it turned out to be their biggest victory during this millennium!
\:D/ It's funny how a game of football can make you feel sometimes... I can't wait to gloat about this at work tomorrow. :p
