make someone laugh everyday
1-7-10 Making someone laugh today!

Today my landlord came over unexpectedly. Nice guy. Said I was the best tenant he had ever had. Felt good to hear that. He wanted to put some insulation under my house…Sweet! As he climbed underneath the house he banged his head…said an expletive or two and then looked at me completely red faced. I responded with “Ouch, that must have hurt! But I’ll bet I’m looking a bit better to you right now :) So, go me!” His embarrassment was broken and he laughed :D Mission accomplished today! Poor guy is going to stop coming by though…That’s the second time he has busted his head at my house in the last week!



Thank PJ and Angela for their undying support
Dear PJ and Angela,

What a year 2009 turned out to be. If I had one dime for each minute you two spent supporting me I would be a very wealthy woman.

Angela, thank you. Thank you for keeping me grounded and focused. When I thought some new situation meant the end of the world you reminded me that life goes on. Where would I be without you? “What can you do about it right now?” will be a question I ask myself no matter situation I face in life…Thank you…especially for listening to me cry when needed. I’ll always be here for you. I love ya to pieces.

PJ, you are simply amazing. Never would you tell me WHAT to do…your scenarios always began with “Well, if it were me…” A lot can be said for those few words because my decisions were not only verified but were exactly what someone else may do in my situation. Saturday nights at your house have been my sanctuary and I will look up to you always…as I have for 12 years. I always have and always will love you.

I don’t know how I got this lucky…to have two such amazing people in my life…but I am very grateful. Thank you, loves and hugs to you both.

~Mandi
