what little things get you through the day?

[fizzgig]

for me it's my morning routine of coffee, cigarettes and 'the price is right.' seeing my best friend and a smile from the cute guy at work. the way my kitties greet me when i get home.

i try to have something i look forward to each day. it's usually little things, but they make my day brighter.

what about you guys?

[w8liftinglady]

1. honestly?DU and my LTTE writing

[fizzgig]

3. du is another one for me

writing lttes is always a good thing too

[Rhythm]

2. my 6 y.o. son's insistence in tackle-hugging me....

he is the sweetest thing, and along with my sweetheart, is the major reasons that i do all the stuff that i "don't wanna"

[fizzgig]

4. kids and sweeties have an odd knack for doing that to you

it's a wonderful feeling to love and feel loved

[Rhythm]

5. the mrs. and i are coming up on 8 years....

and we still act like schoolkids with crushes most of the time...

i'm sure that by now we make more than a few of our friends sick *L*

[fizzgig]

6. i think that's wonderful

everyone should have love like that.

although there are times that those couples make me sick :P

[Rhythm]

8. well, we'll try to tone down the cutesy -talk around you, then, k?! *L*

it'll be a sacrifice, though...

[chknltl]

7. Tummy Rubs, a fresh chewey pigs ear and an evening walk

She doesn't care what I look like or what I may smell like...(speaking of which she needs a bath), ...she doesn't care where I've been or how my day went... she only cares for what I feed her, those brief moments I pay attention to her and our daily walk. These are the things which get her through her day.

She is my pet pitbull Karma! ::):

Karma gets me through each day...

[fizzgig]

11. what a sweet tribute to your furbaby

they certainly do get us through the day

[otherlander]

9. My dog.

Journalism class.
Trading cartoons with Dave.
Vitamin water.
Bothering my history teacher.
The people I eat lunch with.
Howl and other poems.

[fizzgig]

12. are you a journalism major?

i always loved my reporting classes in college

[otherlander]

18. No, still in high school.

Are you a journalist? I want to be.

[fizzgig]

19. i'm a newspaper reporter

it can be a tough job but i love it

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

For the love of Dog, stay out of journalism! :cry:

[otherlander]

32. Why?

Will I get shot by dangerous paramilitary people? Or sell my soul and become a media talking head? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Probably neither

But you will live near or below the poverty line and get more disrespect than you can imagine.

(I'm talking newspaper journalism. Not sure which area you plan to enter.)

[otherlander]

34. Okay, I'll make you a deal.

I'll try being a journalist. If, after ten years of this, no multinational corporation has made an attempt on my life, I will know that I have failed to threaten them enough, and I will quit and become a chef at a five star restaurant instead. But beware! You will lose this bet, for I am a truthspeaker and a Goddamn Hippie.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. You think a publisher will allow you

to speak the truth?

Good luck.

[AlCzervik]

10. the coffee, the morning paper, the beast in my pic squeaking for food

he only squeaks when i come downstairs, mind you he's my daughters pet but i'm the giver of food and treats. Waking my kid up and hearing "5 more minutes Mom please" and then driving her school listening to Stephanie Miller and the 2 of us chuckling all the way. Every day when we get to school we have this routine "Alright get out and have a good day!!!" "Fine maybe i will!" "Love you" "Love you back"

[fizzgig]

14. that is quite the beast

mom/daughter time is the best. how old is your daughter?

[AlCzervik]

16. she's 12 and i keep telling to just be 12 and not be in such a hurry to grow up.

she is absolutely hilarious and a really wonderful girl, she is the one thing i know i have right in life.

[Nicole]

13. Drugs! Lots of Drugs.

Plus family & friends who call or stop by.

[fizzgig]

15. how could i forget drugs

doh!

[Ghost in the Machine]

20. You stole my answer! LOL!

[Nicole]

25. LOL

I was #13, I can't believe no one beat me to it. :smoke:

[mark414]

17. i got a shelf today

and i'm surprised at how happy a shelf makes me

but i haven't had a house of my own in over a year so the little things about it feel nice...

[fizzgig]

21. i love doing those little things around the house

and yay for having your own place again

[Hosnon]

22. I remind myself constantly that it's all a big freakin' joke and God

is laughing his ass off.

And I share a laugh or two with him:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Watching my threads sink

and counting the hours between replies.



I get to practice quantum mathematics and be humbled, all at the same time. :bounce:

[BlueIris]

26. The occasional sight of a cute baby.

Even when they are often sick, like they are in the winter. Lately, I have found that there are few things cuter than the sound of a baby snuffling.

[Eagle_Eye]

27. Several cups of coffee and reading the Democratic Underground

I need to get steeled up to counter the repugs at work, and DU is just the ticket!

[PVnRT]

28. 'Ludes, prostitutes and Legos

n/t

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

29. LAUGHTER ! Its the best :)

[Danger Mouse]

30. Coffee, the opportunity to pass out after work and take a nap, and my sister.

DU is alright, but honestly, it's not like a I need it to get through my day ;)

[crim son]

31. My best friend Steve, my kids, and DU.

I suppose the coffee in the a.m. helps too.
