One of my RTBC (Reasons To Be Cheerful) is my very good Friend. <grins>

Fabric and patterns on sale, good food, dancing, losing weight,
getting my degree, getting accepted to UM grad school,  and my cats

smiteing other paintballers with me mates behind me, UofM wolverine gameing
club (meets 2nd and 4th sundays,noon to midnight, all welcome, mostly pick up
board games. c'mon yha know ya wanna go) shameless plug.

Somebody saying she misses me, and meaning it.

Any genuine sign of friendship.

Actually being able to sew after all these years, and not just pretending too.
I love it when you honestly suprise yourself at being good at something, not
just doing something, but trying something else, and suceeding.  

Definitely a reason to be cheerful.

If I ever get my book published I'd be in heaven.
But for now I am still working on it.

Helping people always makes me feel really good...  that and cleaning the
house.  Nothing compares to the feeling of doing a good job at work all day
then coming home to a tidy house.

Oh god.  Clean house.  Need a clean house.  Must clean.  I think that will
be my task when I get home today.  No sewing until I clean my room, put away
my clean clothes, and clean the kitchen.  God my house is piggy.

I managed to get 6 h ours of sleep last night...very h appy.  THe most I have
gotten on a "school/work" night and no Sunday Insomnia...well, not very much,
at least.

        Re #7:  Try helping people clean house, then!

        Getting all the bills paid and a database created of what I've paid,
and when. :P

I have a bill-paying filing system...  I dig it, and it comes in handy when
someone tries to say I didn't pay them.

I don't mind helping people clean house, but I never know where things go. 
This gets me out of doing dishes.  I HATE doing dishes.  Yucky.

Another thing that makes me happy:  When you put in $5 worth of gas and the
needle climbs closer to Full than you thought it would.  :)

Coming inot work, asleep, looking like whooha, and still having your boss
happy that you're there.

telling work that i'll need a major holiday off and them saying "sure"

I thought it was kinda cool that my boss said I could have Pagan holidays off
if I worked on the Christian holidays (even trade).  Neat!

reall? that's kinda standard practice where i've worked...they're always
desperate for xmass and easter et all.

Well, we aren't a public service company, and I'll be allowed access to the
building those days.

ahh. of course

Alas, a christian university doesn't recognize pagan holidays. Pagan religion,
for that matter is not recognized. No holidays there, for me. There goes
Mayday, there goes Walpurgisnight.

Dying hair? I use dto do it. Nowadays there is too little left to make it
convincing. I think it's 1 centimeter (one third f an inch) right now. I had
my hairdresser pull a razor over it. Whatever the proper word may be.
I used to dye it black (eighties, hey), my goth picture on my personal pages
will vouch for that. Ask John, he's seen it.
Note the coal underneath my eyes an dthe long earring.

natural black is sooo beautiful. keep it that way, morgan.

nothing more to mention.

Cleaning house? Every Sunday. My house is spic and span. I take pride in home
work.

A reason to be cheerful is that OATHBOUND IS BACK IN BUSINESS!

Yeeeeeeeeah!

(leaps around, squeels with glee)

Funnily enough response nr. 17 got stuck in this item. It should have 
been posted in item 59

heh.

RTBH- Long walk last night with That Guy with excellent conversation.

My dress is finished!!!  The chemise is finished!!!  The headpiece is
finished!!!  I *rule*!!!  :)  Record time, too.

Excellent. :)


RTBH- encouragement on my writing, and an excellent discussion 
regarding it. :)  If I weren't so tired I'd be inspired. <grins>

I'm happy because the resident is going to have me build a computer.  Woo hoo.
New stuff and I get to assemble the whole thing.  God I love doing that.

For a minute I thought mooncat's entry said engagement, not encouragement. 
That would have been neat, too.  :)

Must not read when tired...ugh...

But things become *so* much more interesting when you do. <grins> 
Least... that works for me.

RTBH my new webpage! huzah

Fatigue makes me incoherent.

Anne, you *should* pick up your writing.
You had such an excellent idea when we left
that gorge there in Az.
Benig encouraged by anyone dear, so much for the better,
as it gobbles up all your spare time, when you really get
at it.

RTBH: going on a 10 day vacation next Monday. Yea!
French Alps, here I come.

Greg- what's the address?

Rick- thanks. :)  That idea I had will be *very* long in coming to 
fruition, however.  Need to do a ton of research and stuff.  And now I 
find Eddings used a very similar idea for a group of people. <grins>  
Ah well, nothing is fully original, now is it?

teh addy is people.mw.mediaone.net/phenix

David Eddings?
Which series?

Nothing is, dear.
In fact the original concept is the unique person self Except for
twins and such), as the mix of genes can never entirely be
copied. I am not thinking of cloning, that's unethical.

        Unethical?  It is, in the language of the germ-line replicators that
originally got us here, the highest, most ethical, and most pure thing in
existence.

Heee...I got my skirt done.  I put it together, hemmed it and cleaned up the
little strings.  Yea!!!!

Also, at the same time, I put together a computer and started loading and
configuring it.  Talk about multitasking!

You sewed your dress on your desktop?

Uhh...no.  On the kitchen table, about 20 feet from the desktop.

Multitasking while your desktop is twenty feet away?
My lord! You have got long arms! ;-D

What can I say...  I do what must be done.

Currently I'm reading _The Belgariad_ wonderful series, and I'm not telling
which idea I had that ort of resembles his... but only sort of. <grins>

I have read that series, as well as the Elenium and the Tamuli. david Eddings
got a nice tongue in cheek, so to say. 
I  still like Tad Williams better.
Yet, the similarity slips me, I can't recall the story enough apparently. It
must be due to reading before going to sleep.


A thought crossed my mind the other day. Next Monday I am going on a vacation
which is exactly one year later than the vacation I took with you (coming to
the US at least at that date. I f I recall properly I came over on a Tuesday
after Labour day.

It seems I always cellebrate my vacation starting in the first week of
September.

There are worse times of year to start a vacation.  Hopefully you'll 
enjoy this one lots. :)
