Thursday Threesome

Good morning!

Onesome: Goodie-- What is your your favorite "goodie" you treat yourself to when you've finished a project or maybe even just survived a long day? Ice cream? ...a long bath? ...a good book?

Hrm. No idea, actually. I enjoy most of the things I like whenever it seems appropriate, I don't dole them out as "rewards" after things. I like good books, sweets (which I'm cutting back on, alas), hanging out online, and listening to music. But I don't really treat myself after specific events, I enjoy them when appropriate whether I've just finished something/survived a day or not.

Twosome: Two-- Quick! Two things that make you smile! No thinking, just write!

Scott. The morning light over the pasture. (The freshly-planted field is a sort of sea green in the early-morning sun right now....)

Threesome: Shoes-- ...and how about your favorite pair of shoes? You know, the ones you look for an occasion to wear! (Yes, guys that ratty pair of tennis shoes does count...)

Er.... Okay, people really do this? Sorry, but I think you're nuts. Every pair of shoes I own does its job, but I don't go hunting to wear them. (I wear my work shoes, which are businesslike and not suited for long distance walking, by far the most - but that would be because I seldom wear shoes at home and indoors, and I spend 40+ hours a week at work.)

Today....

Large parts of today sucked, mostly related to work. Some bits of that went well, just not nearly as many as I'd have liked. But it was beautiful out, the sun turning the grass into something amazing, something like a jewel that had sprouted up from the ground only more magical.

They finally started planting new flowers in the beds they ripped out and tilled up yesterday. (Routine replacement of "annuals" which last a few months at this complex...once the flowers are wilting, they trash them and put the next batch in.)

It really was a gorgeous day. I wish I'd been out in it more, but eh, that's life.
