Happy Things

Current ones, from Matt, Alison, me, plus a couple lifted off of Micah's Xanga . . .

 

• Matt's innovative consequence for LITs who don't wear belts [this is actually a sentence-long euphemism for what Matt really wrote; if you want to know, you'll have to come and read the real Happy Book]
• Kendra reading the National Inquirer (12 year old grandma!)
• "Hey, no using profound language!" -Joel
• "You can just walk all over me, that's no problem. That's one of my basic needs." -Tony, in a panel discussion on the spiritual gift of serving
• Laughing out loud at Micah's descriptions of Joel's attempts to attack Matt
• Jessica C. getting saved and the ensuing changes
• Orthodontist trips with Gina and Danielle
• When Matt is in a time-wasting mood
• Megan and Clayton getting Eileen to search the kitchen for evaporated water
• Mr. Gergeni announcing that Mr. Norcross needs four men to volunteer next Tuesday . . . so that the CNA girls can practice shaving
• Jessica G's dream that I was at the ITC, happily married to . . . a hillbilly with unkempt hair, a "two-day-old five o'clock shadow," a beer belly, and a blah personality. (Wow-thanks, Jessica!) To her credit, she warned me not to get that desperate.
• Tiah: "I used to be black." (comment around the lunch table after discussing former hair colors)
• Nina: "I don't drool-I spit!"
• Hearing from Gina how crazy Danielle is because she acted like their table was full of people when it wasn't . . . and realizing that Danielle was mimicking a similar prank I had played on Kami years ago
