My positive is I feel better than I have for a few days.

I just spoke with Greg by phone and he's as happy as a kid at Christmas. lol
He bought the car of his dreams.

He bought a 76 Cougar right out of the showroom in 76 and still has it. It has less than 80,000 miles on it and has always been his baby. It's a deep brown with gold metal flake and is absolutely decked out. It's sadly in need of a major re-do though, and finding parts for it is daunting at least.

The car he bought is identical to it other than color. Now he's debating with himself which one to canibalize to make the other perfect. lol It's fun to hear the excitement in his voice... we really couldn't afford a "toy" right now, but he works 66 hrs a week and almost never asks for anything for himself, so I am glad he's able to get it. So the replacing of the living room flooring will have to wait a bit longer... I'll just appreciate it even more once we DO get it. lol

:D I have the greatest hubby!! He brought my Anniversary gift home today...his name is Charlie! He is a 10 week old Yorkie!!! I love it:):)

Miki, that's the perfect gift!
How wonderful for you!

What a great gift!!! Now you know we're going to need pictures...right?

How cool!!!! What a great gift and a great husband to think of it!!!! There's nothing sweeter than a yorkie puppy!!!! We need pictures!!!!!

My positive is that Jim was able to get a week's vacation to help me get settled while I start my new job.

i just wanted to Thank God Micah's fever came down, now hopefully his strip test comes back negative...

My positive for today is TGIF, one more hour to go at work, i'm leaving early today, running a picking up a pizza, and spending the afternoon with my son....

My positive for today is also that it's Friday :D I'm stressed out at work but at least I'll have the weekend to destress! Tomorrow I'm hosting an end of summer backyard party and barbeque for a bunch of friends, so hopefully that goes well!
And my other positive is that I dress casual for work on Fridays and I'm finally wearing the cute new boots I bought last weekend :D

My positive for today is that we finally found a new vehicle!!! My old Tahoe had 215,000 miles on it and has been giving us some trouble. We found another Tahoe at one of our local dealers and really felt like we got a good deal. I'm really excited!!!! It's a 2004 with 74,000 miles on it.

That's great Diana!!! That's not very many miles for a 2004. I absolutely love my Dodge Caravan, but I'm also thinking of something that gets a little better gas mileage. It's just that I can haul darn near anything when I need to so I may just keep this van for some time yet.
I think Tahoe's are really nice.



My positive is I've had a very productive weekend and got to visit with one of my puppies and her owner.

My positive for today is that Hickory is making progress in leaps and bounds now.
For those who don't know, she has a very sad history. She was severely abused and in a puppy mill type setting before I got her a few months ago. Her original breeder found out how she was being treated, got her back and offered her to me to rehabilitate. She's a lovely chocolate Lab but was so terrified of people that it took weeks before I could touch her, and now months later, she's finally letting others near her. I was thrilled yesterday when dh was able for the first time ever, to pet her and not have her shake in fear.

So today I had company here who wanted to meet the dogs as they plan to buy a pup in the next year. I had Chip and Hickory in the house when they arrived, and she acted frightened when they first came in, but within minutes her tail was wagging and she was giving both the husband and wife kisses. She's gained weight, has begun to shine nicely and is now pregnant with her first litter. She's really blossomed! I was just so proud of her today. She's come a long way from the dog that hid in the back of the dog house shaking just months ago.

That is good news, Tink!! I'm glad to hear that Hickory has come so far!!! You're doing a good job with her!!

That just shows what a caring, patient person you are to bring her out of her shell. Way to go Tink...that's a wonderful accomplishment, for you and for her.
