Helpful Friends

Today's Beautiful Things are my friends M & S. S suggested I IM with M about my computer troubles. M diagnosed the problem and sent me a link to the exact item I needed to buy to upgrade my computer. It was so nice of them to spend time with me and help me out. Thank you, my helpful friends. :)

Mmmmm Tasty

Today's Beautiful Thing is an Italian restaurant with a drive-through window. I picked up a wonderful meal on my way home from work tonight and it was so good! :)

Colorful

Today's Beauiful Thing is our colorful new kitchen walls--2 of them, anyway. We are in the process of painting the kitchen "winter surf", which is an aqua color. It's looking great so far!

Edgy!

Today's Beautiful Thing is finding these cool new edging stones for our rock garden. The border we have right now is made of small pieces of wood and they are old and falling apart. We've been thinking about re-doing it and we just happened to stumble onto the perfect solution today. We ran home and measured and then went right back to Home Depot to purchase what we needed while they still had them. Yeah! :)

Quiet

Today's Beautiful Thing is spending a quiet evening at home. I'm tired tonight and I just feel like hanging out with the hubby and the pups. I feel so grateful I don't have to rush to a child's game or something like that. I love my 4 footed babies. :)

Farrah

Today's Beautiful Thing is Farrah Fawcett, who died today at age 62. I still can't believe she's gone. I loved her as a child. Charlie's Angels might not seem like a positive influence for a little girl, but it was. I thought it was so cool that women could be Beautiful, smart, and kickass--though I would have never said "kickass" back then since I was a good little girl. The red bathing suit poster was a classic. Hubby saw the pic on TV tonight and said, "Hey! I had that poster!" I had him beat. I had the t-shirt.

Heaven has a new angel tonight, as my friend Tom put it. R.I.P. Farrah and thank you.

Handy Hubby

Today's Beautiful Thing is a job well done. Hubby started a smallish project and he was just about done as it was getting dark. He decided to push through and finish it so I helped, holding 2x4s and using the level. He was able to get it finished tonight, which made him feel good. All that's left now is to paint it. Yay!
