Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

I'm sorry you had a bad day. Hope tomorrow is brighter and has some of those happy things in it.
Sorry this has not been a good day, but I enjoyed the images you collected.
My evening was great (not saying about the rest of the day). We had some EXCELLENT fudgy brownies at spinning group tonite. How great is that? Fiber, friends, spinning AND brownies? Makes up for a lot.
Hope there is something bright and pleasant in your Tuesday.
Uh oh, The Goob is not there. Tomorrow will be a better day. Getting over being sick can be very trying. My thoughts are with you.
Hope today's better. Like the montage, made me smile too.
Sorry you had a bad day.
Is that a picture of mashed potatoes?
Pam
Great photo selection. I am a huge fan of Girl Genius. Those Foglios are amazing. And I've seen the snow/tree/fence photo and love the fact that someone saved the tree and put the fence up around it.
Your photos made me smile, too. And you're a better woman than I am. When I have a bad day, I whine and bitch.
Oh, honey, bad days come and go. It'll be better soon. Lovely lilies. Eat more chocolate.
verification word: lytonic = feeling better after lying down for a while
I especially like the last two!
Yeah my past two days have sucked hard too. But TY for the cheer-up photos. Imma email you through AOLz now.
word of the day: CONTR. when you lose control, midway through losing control. Contr.
(((((hugs)))))
I like your list!
Today wasn't terrible for me, but the picture of Alton elevated it to downright awesome. I love that man with an unholy passion. Seriously, it's a little frightening how devoted I am to a guy who cooks with SCIENCE!
Sorry about the bad day--but thank you for the lovely pictures. If it's any help, they soothed me too...
Bad days suck, but they happen...I hope today is better. And, Anonymous, I thought at first that was a pic of mashed potatoes too, hahahaha!
And I hope posting the pictures cheered you some, Julie!
hey, that picture of the tree with the black fence is 3 feet tall on my wall in my living room! It really makes me happy too!
