    At least all of Dad’s results were good & the weather wasn’t too bad for driving, so that’s reason enough to be happy, isn’t it?

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today I had to take Dad for another hospital check-up. A 6-hour round trip with lots of waiting in between. He was so tired but I had to get cross with him and make him eat because he’s diabetic. Sorry Dad.

  • John Herman

    I was mad today when I had to sit through traffic. The reason I got mad was because the traffic wasn’t due to normal traffic, it was because someone was on the side of the road and everyone had to look.

  • John Herman

    I was hopeful today that I won’t get mandatory overtime. The sheet to sign up for it wasn’t there so hopefully we don’t have to work this weekend.

    What made me mad is my daughter was heartbroken and wanted to come home from school and the school gave me a hard time, even though my child rarely misses any school.

    I was a little irked today when my phone decided to go haywire. It’s been a great phone and it’s fine now so hopefully it won’t happen again.

  • Connie

    I was hopeful today when the recruiter called my husband a few days ago and said that the new company accepted my husband’s application. Then he said today that the interview process for the new job should start very soon. I am over the moon!

    At my local airport there was a traveling B-17 plane and today we got to see it, including going inside! Plus my husband got a picture of it flying over our house!

  • Betty C

    What made me mad today? One of our supervisors sent an email implying that our shift doesn’t work very fast. It wasn’t supposed to be seen by anyone except management but someone goofed. I prefer quality work over quantity.

  • Nikolina

  • Darlene Sullins

    My grandma passed away 2 months ago and it has hit my mom and I pretty hard and my mom has been super depressed lately and today I was happy to hear her sounding a bit chirpy when she called.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I happy today? well, my New Year’s diet is doing ok; not great, but ok! Any weight lost is better than weight gained.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    The sky is full but no sign of snow here in the so-called sunny south-east. The rest of the country has had a flurry or two but nothing here. I just wish it would hurry up & get it over with!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    This morning I saw some birds gathering twigs & moss. Can’t believe they’re nesting already, just hope they don’t get hit by a late frost. Then again, perhaps they’re just renovating!

  • Danielle Lynch

    My son has apraxia and he is 3 years old, I am happy today because I just picked him up from preschool and he said, “I love you” for the FIRST time to me. ( I La You). Melted my heart and I am so happy.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that my cracked tooth will not lead to another root canal. Hubby thinks it is just a broken old filling and I don’t have any paid, so…fingers crossed the dentist can just refill it. ugh.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because, once again, I have broken a tooth. I swear, if I could go ONE year without having major dental work done, I think I would die of shock! I am so angry. Thanks so much, mom and dad, for the worst teeth EVER!

  • mai tran

  • cheryl lister

    I am angry that the pain in my leg has returned. I think it’s a nerve problem that flares up intermittantly. When it’s happening, it really hurts.

  • cheryl lister

    I am hopeful that my grand daughter will get over the bout of diahhrea she has been battling for 3 weeks. My daughter will be taking her to urgent care this afternoon.

  • Jesselyn A/Jesstinger

    Republicans and TV/Radio Talking Heads who are so blinded by their mostly irrational hatred of Obama and their obsession with blocking and destroying/dismantling EVERYTHING good that Obama and people like Elizabeth Warren are trying so hard to deliver for regular people (like most of us?) that their obsession with destroying Obama’s presidency they are willing to do great damage to the American people (and others) just because it makes them feel good and gets them big money from people who want to exploit people, pay people a living wage and deny them health care, as well as pollute the air and poison the water and food supply.

    The GOP Congress has only been in session for a week and the are already working very hard to damage and dismantle medicare/ Medicaid, Social Security and Benefit for those who are disabled. Cut programs the feed hungry kids, over turn Obama’s “DREAMERS” (and other newly initiated programs) to provide a little decency to immigrants who work hard and have been here for YEAR (maybe their whole lives!) and also dismantle the already very limited and weak protections in Dodd-Frank to protect regular taxpayers from high risk behavior by banks etc that go south.

    You know how it goes:

    HEADS I WIN ~ TAILS YOU LOSE

    As you can see this makes me very mad! (Sorry for all of my rants ~ it’s been a somewhat depressing day…)

  • Jesselyn A/Jesstinger

    Yesterday President Obama previewed his State of the Union address and he has some wonderful proposal for programs and project that will GENUINELY be GOOD for us Regular People ~ not just help the obscenely wealthy and in many case criminal corporation have even more wealth and power.

    It’s hard, but I try to keep the faith and be hopeful, wistfully hopeful.

  • Jesselyn A/Jesstinger

    As a two-time breast cancer survivor, getting my annual diagnostic mammogram always comes with a certain amount of anxiety and dread..

    But today brought good news: my mammogram came back clean and healthy. That is not only an enormous relief ~ but even instills a feeling of spirited energy!

  • Cathy French

    The only thing that made me mad today was my procrastination. I’ve got a list of things to do and none of them got done today.

  • Cathy French

    I’m hopeful I will be able to reach a long lost friend by phone today. We were best friends yet haven’t seen each other in over 20 years.

  • Cathy French

    What made me happy today was knowing the house is clean. cleaned it yesterday for the most part anyway which makes me happy today

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I hopeful today? Well, my Mom has a doctor’s appointment today, so I’m hopeful she will be able to get some answers & relief today.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the credit issue authority, it takes ages to get credit.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy payday is near. It’s been a long wait.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to have a day of easy tasks today.

  • Cori Westphal

    One thing that made me happy today was my parents called to say they bought a new TV, and asked if we wanted their old one for our newly finished basement! Awesome!

  • Meghan

    My mad is brought to you by my 16yo, who neglected to tell me he wouldn’t be home for dinner when I made his favorite. He’s no longer my favorite teenager.

  • cheryl lister

    Feeling a bit annoyed with Staples. I went to take advantage of an easy rebate offer on copy paper. The same clerk who I had last time I went turned out to be my checkout clerk again today, and again he messed up on my receipt. Had to spend an extra 15 minutes for them to straighten it all out.

  • cheryl lister

    I am hopeful that Annie can find an apartment today where she is planning on attending school. She got to the train in time and looking at this very moment.

  • cheryl lister

    I am happy to have a Sunday at church with my family and friends, then come home to a yummy bowl of lasagna soup. Got a few errands done, too.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that we’re having a Chinook today and it’s 62 degrees.
    Hopeful that I find an open swimming pool tomorrow.
    No mad today.

  • Jean D.

    What made me mad today? I have a fever, and I was up coughing all night. I’d love to be outside enjoying this beautiful day by walking my dog around the neighborhood.

  • Jean D.

    Today I feel hopeful, because it’s January, and it’s 50-some degrees outside. Spring WILL come again. Spring WILL come again.

  • Jean D.

    Today I love it that my dog waits at the stairs for me while I’m downstairs doing laundry. He’s a fraidy-cat, and won’t go up and down my stairs, which have no risers. But since he has to be with me every second, he gets lonesome, and has to stand watch until I’m finished with laundry.

  • Kristen

    We had breakfast with a friend today and his wife came along….which she usually doesn’t….so it made me hopeful for a more friendly relationship with her in the future.

  • Deborah W.

    I think that today makes me happy because it’s is the Lord’s Day (Sunday). I woke up feeling great and have enjoyed spending time with family and our dogs. I have enjoyed being on the computer and watching taped shows on the DVR. Great day to be alive!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, I’m not really mad about anything today. I’m still hating these really cold temperatures. I’m not happy with that!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I happy today? well, my New Year’s diet is hanging in there, & I have lost a little weight. That makes me feel a little better!

  • clynsg

    So far nothing has made me mad today. Hopefully that will continue, not in the least because I am pretty laid back about some things that can definitely be irritations!

  • clynsg

    I was actually happy to see that my grandson’s pants that he put on for church were a little short–it proves that despite the fact that he is in a 6 yr old period of ‘I don’t like that’, he is still getting enough good food inside to grow!

  • Meghan

    My mad came when we went to an indoor flea market in Philly & based the small entrance resulting in us walking all the way around the building, in cold, cold, temps. Hmph.

  • Sarah L

    I was happy to go to Marshalls with a $50 gift card I won. Got a lovely merino sweater and a soft bathrobe.
    Hopeful that the concert I’m going to tomorrow will be wonderful.
    No mad today.

  • Cathy French

    I’m hopeful today that my boyfriend will make dinner so I don’t have to. Don’t like cooking every night trying to come up with something new.

  • cheryl lister

    I’m feeling a bit angry that the fitness tracker I bought for my daughter’s birthday needs a smart phone in order to use it. She doesn’t have one.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Tonight’s the final Panto performance so hoping that it’s a blast! Ditto the wrap party – can’t remember the last time I let my hair down & partied so really looking forward to it!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well I finally got around to requesting a full refund from by eBay seller only to find that he is disputing that he is in the wrong. I mean, he’s had my money for a month, sent me the wrong items and ignored all my mails & messages up to now, but as soon as I want my money back: hey presto! I get a response. I got my money back but it makes me so cross – what a way to treat a loyal customer. Bummer!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today has been beautiful with sunshine, a light breeze but very cold so I wrapped up & got lots of little tidying up jobs done in the garden. I love just being able to potter about – it’s such a luxury having the time to do nothing in particular!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful it’s a quiet evening today.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the noisy people in the library today.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy we had sushi buffet today as lunch. It was super satisfactory.

  • Taryn T.

    Even though I have already had my mad moment, LOL, I am happy today because the house is silent, people are sleeping, and I am enjoying some me time. No one asking me to make breakfast, or for the computer. It is quiet! I am happy!

  • Taryn T.

    I am hopeful today, because I have a medical test that I have to do today, but it seems to be my last one for six whole months! That, coupled with the great medical news I have gotten this week make me very hopeful for the future.

  • Taryn T.

    Here is what made me mad today…. I finally had a day when everyone is STILL sleeping, so I could actually sleep in… but I woke up, and couldn’t go back to sleep. GRRRR.c

  • Connie

    I was a little perturbed at myself when I blurted something to my daughter that I wanted to keep private a little longer. Annnnd, instead of just shutting up when I realized what I was doing I tried to MAKE it better 🙂 AAARGH!

  • Connie

    I am feeling hopeful because my daughter is experiencing more enjoyment in her college classes. She was feeling a little overwhelmed and now she’s doing better.

  • Samantha Daleo

    Reading comments on some posts on Facebook made me mad today(not my posts thank goodness). I don’t know why I read them, but the unkindness of others bugs me to my core sometimes.

  • Samantha Daleo

    One part of the day that made me happy was once my husband got home, I was able to exhale, knowing that my daughter, myself and my husband were now home safely for the weekend.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I hopeful today? Well, it is supposed to get up into the 50s on Saturday! Wow, that seems like a heat wave, lol! Just for one day, but I’ll take that!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, I was about to get mad this morning when I woke up! I sat up & the room was spinning. Oh, no! I thought the flu had finally hit me, since it’s hit pretty much everyone else in my family. But after a few minutes it stopped. I guess the heat in the house is stirring up my sinus issues; that builds up at night & gets into my ears. Yuck! Spinning rooms!

  • Becca

    My dog’s oncologist office made me mad today. My mom called to make him an appointment and no one could help her and they are always so difficult to work with. But the actual oncologist is great!

  • Becca

    Sleeping in and realizing I had slept for 9.5 hours last night made me happy. I was exhausted yesterday and I think I had minor food poisoning so my body needed the sleep!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Hopeful that tonight & tomorrow night’s Pantomime go well. It’s been packed houses every night so far & only a couple of technical cock-ups that weren’t even noticed by the audience. Great reviews in the local papers as well so here’s to tomorrow’s final performance and the PARTY! Yay!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Only a little mad today but the day’s not over yet. I was in a rush to get ready to go out and had to have a cold shower (agh!) because someone (and he knows who he is) had switched the water heater off.

  • Stacy

    I am happy because we are going to see my husband’s best friend’s band perform tonight. We have seen him with other bands, but we have not made it out to a show with this band yet, and he has been with them for a little over a year.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the melting ice: wet, slippery, cold…

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to be having a peaceful weekend with beers and bacon.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy we had pastries and tea for breakfast today.

  • cheryl lister

    I’, a bit angry that i am still coughing after being sick 2 weeks ago. Just talking and even breathing, makes me cough!

  • cheryl lister

    My daughter won a humidifier a while back, and it just arrived today. I am hopeful that it will help me with my coughing.

  • cheryl lister

    Thursday is the end of my work week. Thursdays are nice and they make me happy! Plus, I have an evening to myself tonight.

  • Michelle H.

    I am a little mad right now. My little boy is given a boatload of homework to complete each week and most of it, including his spelling list, I have to go online to print at home. My son is not enjoying school like he used to and this concerns me.

  • Connie

    I was happy today when I called in about an increase on our waste bill and not only did the representative get rid of the increase but she lowered our overall normal bill! She guaranteed it for a year! Woohoo!

  • Stacy

    I have been out of work for 6 weeks due to illness/surgery/recovery, so today I went in to make sure all of my paperwork was in order so that I can return to work next week. I couldn’t walk 5 feet without someone stopping to give me a hug! It felt really good that so many people cannot wait for me to come back. Plus, everyone noticed that I had lost weight (15 lbs) and that I looked healthy (compared to my last day of work when I was pale and ghostly and looked like I was going to pass out any second).

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because my klout score fell AGAIN. I keep giving other people klout on a daily basis but no one ever returns the favor and it is getting old. I don’t know what else to do to raise my score other than what I am doing. I just wish that people gave what they got, and then everyone would be happy.

  • angie lilly

    I am hopeful today that the replacement product I am getting in the mail will not be damaged in the same way the original product was. I fear it is just poor quality and, no matter how many times they send replacements, it will never be resolved.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m hoping that no-one gets injured in the fierce storms that are hitting Ireland at the moment. Driving is certainly scary in the wind – last night we had winds up to 120 miles per hour.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Mad because I’m having to get the PayPal Resolution Centre involved with a recent eBay purchase – I’ve given them every chance but they’re just ignoring my messages & emails. I always give people the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough.

    I am hopeful that my great niece will get her second shipment of big girl Disney Princess undies tomorrow since she got her first shipment of Frozen undies today 🙂

  • cheryl lister

    I’m feeling a bit unhappy because the kindle fire I received as a gift seems to be missing. My husband was using it last and is trying to find it.

  • cheryl lister

    Today I felt hopeful about hearing from a friend who left her class workbook with me. I’d like to get it back to her before next week.

  • Emily A

    What made me mad today was I’m waiting for licensure before I can start a job and I guess I forgot to sign a page of the necessary paperwork. A quick fix but I’m mad at myself for missing that.

  • Cathy French

    Trying to put together a budget actually makes me mad. I’m mad that I have to budget, since I went on disability grocery shoppinghas taken on a whole new meaning of couponing and watching sales.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why be happy today? Well, I’m glad I’m still fairly healthy even though half my family is sick! Hopefully, they will get better quick.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Oh, why am I mad today? I’m more fed up than mad. Whatever the bug is that’s going around, it just will not go away! It hops from one person to another in our family!

  • polly

    I am happy today because I took an extra day off from work. I’m just catching up on giveaways and looking at magazines I have stacked up! Have a great day everyone!

  • Amie George

    My 5 year old daughter this morning told me that she was not “feeling” school today… Mainly because she thought she was going to miss church tonight

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I have to get ready for tonight’s Pantomime performance now but I’m so cold I don’t want to take a shower! I’ve got so many layers on I’ll have to unpeel like an onion and am not looking forward to it. Here’s hoping Spring shows herself soon!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    The wintry weather has returned & Ireland has snow! Doesn’t happen too often (apart from the high mountain areas) but I’m sure the novelty will soon wear off! This country is just not used to bitterly cold weather, I’m full of admiration for all of you who live through hard winters every year.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m just so happy to have a warm, dry, safe place to call my home. There are so many people who have lost their homes due to the recession or whose homes are not safe places to be in, whether due to drink, drugs or violence/neglect.

  • Mai Tran

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy it’s getting warmer today after days of under -10 celcius degrees.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad the whole building’s water system is out of order today.

  • Sarah L

    I was happy to get my infusion today after missing 2 weeks due to bronchitis.
    Hopeful that the sun will shine tomorrow.
    No mad today.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I happy today? Hmm, actually, it’s a pretty gray, dreary day here in KY. I’m as happy as I can be on a day like this, lol.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I had to undergo another internal exam & more blood tests today. Hopefully should have some answers before the end of the week.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Not mad, bad or sad (so far) today. Another 6 hours to go before a new day so who knows? Don’t count your chickens & all that!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well, Dad’s home after a night in hospital. They managed to control the pain but can’t drain his knee until he comes off Warfarin so that will happen next week. He didn’t manage to sleep in hospital but has done nothing but since he got home earlier today so at least he’s feeling a bit happier.

  • cheryl lister

    I’m feeling a little mad that I am having so much trouble getting a particular song on the keyboard. Both lines are written in bass clef – very unusual and difficult for me to process!

  • cheryl lister

    I feel hopeful that my daughter will be able to attend the relationship class at church tonight. It would really benefit her.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the enormous snow coming last night. Now traffic is a mess.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy my flowers are blooming today despite the cold.

  • Sarah L

    I was very happy when I realized I was singing at the pool and not coughing.
    Hopeful that I’m well on the mend.
    No mad to day

  • cheryl lister

    Feeling just a little mad that I can’t seem to find some coupons I printed out on Sunday. I know they’re here somewhere!

  • cheryl lister

    I just got a haircut on Saturday and it seemed a little short. Today I was able to style it in a way I liked, so feeling hopeful that it’ll work for me.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m actually hoping that Dad gets kept in hospital. I know that that sounds kind of strange, but at least Mom would be able to relax knowing that he’s being cared for, & he would have pain control whenever he needed it.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well, the smile didn’t last long. Growing old sucks. My sister has had to take Dad into A & E (Accident & Emergency) because he’s in so much pain with his knee. At 81 he’s prepared to accept a certain amount of wear & tear but not this kind of pain. He’s really upset and it’s so horrible to see him like this. We have photos of him alongside his tank in the desert in Egypt during the Suez crisis in ’56 & he really looked like a hero: well over 6 foot & muscles galore. Now he needs help to do simple things & that’s what upsets him the most.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I woke up & saw clear skies & sunshine so that put a big smile on my face! The stormy weather has finally shifted away from Ireland and on to the United Kingdom & mainland Europe. Got all the beds stripped & the sheets are a-blowing in the fresh air as I write.

  • Cathy French

    The only thing to make me mad today is this icy frigid weather. Hate winter and worry about my boyfriend going to and from work on ice covered roads.

  • Cathy French

    I gave myself the day off from any laundry, cleaning or even couponing. Very happy I don’t have to do anything except make dinner

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful because hubby’s tooth is feeling much better today than yesterday. Yesterday it was hurting him so badly that even vicodin did not dull the pain! Today, he is down to just regular tylenol helping! We were fearing it was an abscess but now we are fairly certain it was that large chunk of popcorn he pulled out of his crown. LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because my hubby stayed home and didn’t have to drive in this horrible weather. We got freezing rain all night and it is currently snowing. The sidewalk is a sheet of ice!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the stupid people who think they could call any time regardless of time zone differences.

  • Connie

    I was a upset when I couldn’t get to my daughter’s side to comfort her when she was in the hospital. She’s going to college in California and I’m in Delaware.

  • Connie

    Even though my daughter was put in the hospital today she’s alright and they released her about 30 min. ago. That makes me extremely happy…tears of joy flowing right now!

  • cheryl lister

    Not feeling mad about anything in particular, but am a little discouraged that my daughter did not care for the town she was thinking of going to school in. Now she needs to come up with plan B.

  • cheryl lister

    We got some much needed rain here in southern California. I am feeling hopeful that it will continue tomorrow on my day off. Love the rain!

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that I keep getting better.
    Hopeful that I’ll be well enough for Tuesday infusion.
    Mad that the Broncos don’t seem to have their act together today.

  • Carol Smith

    I was mad at my computer this morning as I could not get it to do what I wanted. Even shut it down numerous times and started it back up. Even did a full security scan on it. Even called it names and threatened it! Then discovered that it was not the computers fault as the whole neighborhood had lost internet connection!

  • Carol Smith

    I woke up this morning and was able to get out of bed! This makes me hopeful that I am getting stronger daily after having a near death experience with my health in recent months.

  • Becca

    Yoga made me happy again today, but that is my answer from yesterday LOL Today I took a restorative class with Kelly and it was nice to just stretch and relax!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Got home still buzzing with adrenaline only to find a stray cat locked in the utility room/back door entrance hall. And a tomcat at that! Ugh! He’s sprayed everything & all the washing I had airing now pongs to high heaven – I’ll have to get on the gloves & start scrubbing the walls, doors – everything. Lord only knows how someone (NOT me) managed to lock him in – nobody’s admitting to it!

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m not really mad about anything today. I am a little draggy today, and would have gladly spent the day in bed just to stay warm!

  • Margot C

    I am mad that my lawn looks genuinely pathetic compared to the others on the block, but I just don’t have it in me to do any better with it.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I happy today? Well, Directv finally worked out their beef with NBC, so I got to watch SNL last night, lol. Of course, it was a rerun. Oh, well.

  • Margot C

    Really more like I am hopeful about those grass seeds; since I didn’t water them for an entire week since they were put down (no, I don’t have automatic sprinklers like a sane person would).

  • Meghan

    What made me mad is that my husband thinks keeping a fan on will keep the air circulating, it does except the air is like 12 degrees in this joint & he’s like put a sweater on. Ugh!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because the brand new pans that I just won and have not even used are already chipping after only being run thru the dishwasher one time. INSANE! Such cheap quality. I am glad they were free and I will use them until they truly break, but it is so sad that today’s quality is so low. That anyone would sell things that chip/break/crack after only going thru a dishwasher cycle says a lot about our country. Just so sad.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that the personal changes that I have decided to make to show myself love will work. I am hopeful that I will be able to stick to my small goals to turn them into larger changes. Sorry to be vague, but it is personal. 😀

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because yesterday we got ALL of the remaining holiday stuff taken down and put away for the year. My house is back to normal! LOL I enjoy the decorations SO much, but enough is enough.

  • Holly Ann

    It’s early in the morning but I guess what has made me happy is that I’m not sick! My kids are both running high temps and I was afraid I was going to be sick but so far I’m fine!

  • Nikki Ooi

    As for what made me MAD today, a relative in fact. A selfish one who only thinks of his/her own self and likes to make troubles for the rest of us. So yeap.

  • Nikki Ooi

    What made me hopeful today was knowing that I’ll be getting a birthday pampering treat soon. In like…2 weeks time. With my girlfriends, so YAY!

  • Nikki Ooi

    Nothing has made me happy today. Lots of bad news in fact. BUT, yesterday was a good day as we celebrated my upcoming birthday (which is next week) at one of my fave restaurants so YAY! Got to see my girlfriends and have yummy food.

    Thanks for this!

  • sandra davis

    Uggh. What really make me mad today was getting something in the mail from a doctor’s bill that was from back in 2012 where my insurance just recently decided that they should not have paid back then and make the doctor refund the money. So I got a bill from them. I mean 2 almost 3 years ago..That is crazy!!!

  • sandra davis

    Talking to my Dad and he made me realize that things could be alot worse than they are. He made me have hope that maybe just maybe something positive would happen. He always makes me feel hopeful.

  • cheryl lister

    Feeling very mad at myself for accidently putting my fitbit through the washer and dryer. I am sooooo hoping I didn’t ruin it!

  • cheryl lister

    I felt hopeful for my daughter who had an outing with a friend to see a movie. She doesn’t get out much so this is exciting.

  • Jodi Kershuk

    What made me mad today? My husband! lol Really, he makes huge messes in the kitchen and just leaves them. Like today he was getting ready for work, making his lunch and left out every thing! So irritating!

  • Jodi Kershuk

    I’m hopeful that we all feel better by next week, so we can at least go to the grocery store. We’ve been stuck in this house for a few weeks.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I just hope the bill for repairing my car isn’t going to be astronomical. If it is then I’m going to have to borrow money from somewhere, but where? Dad says I could always sell my body, but quite honestly only an imbecile would offer anything for this old bod!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Just back from another packed matinée house & a standing ovation! Terrific audience who gave as good as they got. That’s 2 down, 7 to go!

  • tammy shelton

    My 7 year old grandson, Andrew, played his first flag football game of the season today. His team WON and he played great!

  • Chrissy R.

    What made me happy today is that we picked out a color for our baby’s nursery! We are both super indecisive so this sounds like a little but is really a big deal for us. 🙂

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why be mad today? Hmm, I really haven’t been mad today. I am a little irritated at people who feel the need to tell you how you ‘ought to’ live your life, lol.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I can’t seem to control my reactions to other people’s negativity. I keep absorbing it and making it my own. It really ticks me off that people are negative to begin with and want to pass that on to others, but my inability to resist being sucked in to the drama lately is really getting me down.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that two giveaway sponsors will make right their mistakes. One sent me the wrong thing and one sent me broken stuff. ugh. LOL They seem keen to make things right though!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because, yet again, the sun is shining in my window. Also, my hubby is in the kitchen making his “famous” vegetarian sausage gravy and biscuits while I sip on my hazelnut latte and enter this giveaway. Life is good!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful we could have the car fixed before evening so we could have a leasure drive somewhere.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad the car broke down at the weekend and now my man has to fix it.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy we had a very American breakfast with bacon and egg!

  • Sarah L

    Happy to be feeling better again today and having a good swim class.
    Hopeful that tomorrow I’ll be even better and enjoy the 50 degree day.
    No mad today.

  • Natalie Holland

    What makes me mad… My kids broke a product I was about to do a review on, but I did get some pictures so it’s not a complete waste. I also had to deal with my ex-husband’s bs today too.. That’s a rant within itself..

  • Cathy French

    With the holidays our finances have taken a serious hit making it almost impossible to make it to the grocery store this week. Made me mad.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I mad today? Well, I’m not really made, but I’ve spent the last several hours watching PAW Patrol & SpongeBob, so I’m about ready for some grown-up TV, lol.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Just a bit mad today because when I got into my car yesterday there was a puddle under my feet: the water bottle for the wipers has sprung a leak! I’ve left the car in with my local garage but will have it back this evening. He reckons it’s just a hose come loose & won’t cost much (touch wood!).

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Hoping that my voice holds out for the 9 performances – two hours of belting out the songs every night is a heck of a lot of singing!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Feeling tons better, weather’s cold & stormy, but I’ve a roof over my head, Pantomime opens tonight so adrenaline is beginning to kick in – bring it on 2015 I can handle it! Oh, yes, and it’s Friday!

  • nicole

    The fake that it stopped snowing and isn’t -18 below is making me very happy at least I don’t have to bundle up like an Eskimo in my house because the furnace can’t seem to keep up darn big ole farm house.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I am SO tired of chasing bloggers down for information. I leave comments on their FB walls, I tag them repeatedly, I email them directly from their blogs, I leave comments on their blogs, I tweet to them, and NOTHING! I know life is busy. I know things get in the way. But really? You say you want to “connect” with your reader but I don’t see any evidence of you even trying. I am NOT the only one with this issue. It is SO frustrating. GRRR!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that I can get some of my photography published on Treehugger.com. My hubby found out that they take amature photos and he said that he sees many published that are not as good as mine (his words not mine LOL). Wouldn’t that be SO cool?!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because the sun is shining, it is Friday. hubby is off for the weekend, and he made it to work safely every day this week, even in the bad weather. Lots to be thankful for and happy about there!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the people who are always on sick leave despite deadlines.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy it’s the weekend and I’m gonna eat good stuff!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to have a short Friday and a long sleep today.

  • Connie

    I got a little angry when I thought I had put enough of my homemade garlic butter on the sourdough bread and realized I didn’t. It just didn’t have the taste I thought it should. I must be more generous with the amount next time.

  • Connie

    When the recruiter said my husband’s resume looked great and he couldn’t believe how much experience my husband had made me feel hopeful.

  • cheryl lister

    I tried to use a coupon at rite Aid today, but the register would not take it for some reason. Feeling a bit annoyed regarding this.

    • Connie Gruning

      Cheryl, I had a $10 off coupon at CVS I tried to use today for cold meds, it should have covered the whole cost but I had to pay the tax. That annoyed me. It wasn’t much, just the principal!

  • cheryl lister

    I am feeling hopeful as my daughter made it out to her destination on the train and looking into going back to school. Am hopeful she was able to find an apartment.

  • Sarah L

    I”m happy that I feel better today with the drugs my doctor gave me yesterday.
    Hopeful that the cold (bronchitis) will go away.
    No mad today, just irritation that I’m still coughing.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I really am the world’s worst patient. After all my good intentions I went for a shower & decided to scrub the bathroom tiles while I was there. Now I’m cold & worn out – honestly I could kick myself sometimes!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I am physically telling myself every half an hour or so not to do something unless it’s of vital importance. I mean the bird poo on the window can stay another day without my world crumbling around me, particularly as it’s blowing a gale outside. By doing this I’m hoping that I won’t tire myself & end up in bed again.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Happiness today came courtesy of good ol’ Mother Nature – I’m feeling better! Now I’m in the danger zone when I usually try to catch up on things that didn’t get done & end up wearing myself out and getting ill all over again.

  • Tamra Phelps

    I can’t say that I’m really mad today. I am very irritated with this weather. I can’t wait for Spring…or at least ‘normal’ Winter, lol. Canada can keep her Polar Vortex!!

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to succeed with my plan to lose some weight & improve my health this year. I’m going to try, anyway.

  • Stacy

    Something that made me hopeful today is that my doctor filled out all of my return to work paperwork, so I can go back to work in a week! I am excited because I am starting to miss my job just a teeny bit. Well, mainly my friends at work.

  • Stacy

    One thing that made me mad today is when my husband went to try to start my car (I have been unable to drive in 5 weeks and since it is low and hard to get in and out of with my surgery I have not been a passenger either) the battery was dead. He went to give it a jump and he remembered he had to jump his Mom’s car on Thanksgiving and he let her take the jumper cables in case she needed another jump and in all of the craziness between my illness, surgery, and recovery, he forgot to get them back.

  • Stacy

    I am happy today because I am going out to lunch with my best friend from work. I have been recovering from surgery for five weeks and I have not been able to see her the entire time (she works overnights) so I cannot wait to catch up!

  • chelsea r

    Today I am hopeful that we do not have to leave the house. We have plenty of food for everyone to enjoy and we have some movies to watch together.

  • chelsea r

    What made me happy when I woke up was being the first one up on a cold frigid morning and snuggling with my dog Brutus. Peace and quiet no video games being played, wonderful!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I can NOT get a particular blogger to respond to ANY of my emails. I won a giveaway on her blog on 12-22. We wrote back and forth that day and she promised to have the Etsy seller contact me about my prize. I have yet to hear from the Etsy seller and I have written the blogger again to let her know twice now and she has not responded. I am very discouraged and worry that the Etsy seller is just going to take the publicity and never fulfill my win. 🙁 I hope nothing is seriously wrong in their lives but, unless they both have automatic posting set for their pages, they are posting content daily. GRRR!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that the Winter Solstice tree will come down this weekend. LOL! I took down all the New Year decor yesterday afternoon and hopefully hubby will help me with the tree this weekend. I am tired of looking at it. LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because my mom has learned how to text! LOL She basically REFUSED to email me on a regular basis and I HATE talking on the phone, so we only talked once a week and never shared things via email or anything. Now, we are texting a few times a day and I feel much more connected to her. I really like that.

  • Alesha ol

    What made me mad was finding out my daughters dr may not be on our list this yr, after keeping our insurance was made primarily for my dr in that network, no one informed us during enrollment so I am beyond MAD

  • Alesha ol

    What made me happy was spending time we my youngest, who has been having some issues, she is doing sooooo well, we had a great day in spite of the freezing cold

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to be able to go to sleep early today for a long working day tomorrow.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the messy roads when snow melts. It’s dirty and slippery as hell.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy I won a bunch of kindle books today for reading.

  • Lisa Coomer Queen

    What made me happy today was my grandchildren calling me to see if I felt better and to tell me they loved me. Talking to them always makes me happy!

  • cheryl lister

    I was mad at myself today for not planning out dinner for my family. Got home from work with nothing to eat for dinner.

  • cheryl lister

    I am happy about the great deal I scored at Target today. Two boxes of taco shells, 4 cans of beans, and 4 boxes of pasta for only $5.

  • Sarah L

    Happy that the sun is shining.
    Hopeful that after my visit to the doctor today I’ll get rid of this bronchitis.
    Mad that I’m not well yet and it cost me $100 for visit & medicines.

  • Megan Filzen

    Something that made me hopeful was when I was at the gym. The last 2 times I worked out with my trainer I felt very sick and weak. Today I felt strong and that made me feel hopeful!

  • julie ferguson gould

    Something that made me Mad today….Hmm I guess it would have to be the Morning News that I saw. Just makes me Mad to see all of the terrorists acts going on! Something needs to happen to stop all of this ! People are just nuts!!

  • julie ferguson gould

    Something that made me Hopeful today was seeing that the new Product that my son and I are selling on EBay is doing extremely well. In less than 7 days we have sold 60 items and the product looks like its going to be a fantastic investment for us. Always hopeful to be able to make some extra money 🙂

  • Cathy French

    We recycle pop cans. It makes me mad that my boyfriend just stacks empty cans on the kitchen table instead of instantly crushing them and putting them in the bag in the garage. Its so cold today I just put them in a box and set the box in the garage so I’m mad that I didn’t follow through with what I always get on his case about.

  • julie ferguson gould

    The one thing that 1st made me Happy today was turning my PC on and seeing my 1 year old Grandsons Face as my screensaver 🙂 Then a few minutes later being able to here him in the back bedroom when he woke up and started calling for his Momma and Dada 🙂 That little boy is my Joy and Happiness every single day! Im a Happy Grandma for sure 🙂

  • Cathy French

    I’m hopeful today that I can get all my routine done today and also a weeks worth of couponing. Need to make a list as I am trying to save as much as possible.

  • Tamra Phelps

    What can make me mad today? Well, the news today is about the militant attack on that Paris magazine office, killing 12. So discouraging when we are reminded of man’s inhumanity to man, as the saying goes. And now I just wait for some nut from ‘the other side’ to decide to retaliate against some Muslim establishment that probably had nothing at all to do with this…and the vicious circle continues. They say the Chinese saying “May You live In Interesting Times” is actually a curse. I believe we are living in interesting times for sure!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today, I’m hopeful that this Arctic Chill Weather Thing will go away quickly! Seriously, this is KY! Yes, it gets cold in Winter, but below zero???

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today, I’m happy that my knees aren’t aching so bad, lol. That’s amazing when you consider how cold it is outside!

  • Amie George

    Why am I mad today? My husband! Yup definitely him. I should have enough common sense to leave but sometimes its easier said then done

  • Kim Mangrum

    Happy – Today the first thing that made my Happy was my sweet and sassy Pug Puppy Olivia. If it was not for her my days would be filled with Darkness.

    Hopefull – This is a hard one. I was looking forward to a good new year but I have had one thing after another happen already and just making me crazy. I guess my first hopefully thing that made me think today would be a good day is my sick son was not throwing up this morning and I think he is over the flu.

    Mad – that is easy. TRAFFIC. I hate traffic especially after being hit by a drunk driver years ago anytime I am in traffic in the morning and see people driving crazy and likely to cause a wreck it makes me upset and there were several wrecks on my morning commute today.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because of war and terrorism. I don’t often talk about stuff like this and, as a general rule, I avoid fear-mongering news reports and get my news directly from liberal, more trustworthy sources (I hope!) online. My heart is furious for the people of France and the horrible tortuous event that took place there today. I will never understand how murder is the answer to anything. Why can’t humans just let each other live and believe what they want and live their own lives independently of what others do? Why so violent. Today is a day I am ashamed to call myself human.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that they will find out who is responsible for the terrorist attack on France’s freedom of speech policy. I am so saddened for their people and for what these news workers went thru. Sending out loving, healing, positive energies to all involved.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because I have a home that is paid in full and in pretty good shape, I have a warm bed to sleep in at night, I have a husband who is my best friend and takes care of me, and I have my health, which is not perfect but is better than a lot of people have.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful my man will keep up with his exercises.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the noisy snow plowing truck, it shakes the whole building up.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy I had reindeer soup as lunch today.

  • cheryl lister

    Nothing really made me mad, but it was bit hard to see my 2 week vacation end. Sleeping in and relaxing are addictive.

  • cheryl lister

    Today was the first day back to school after Christmas vacation. I am hopeful for a productive time with my students.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Nothing got me mad today (so far) apart from the usual aches & pains & coughs & wheezes etc. etc.! Oh, and the January blues but the Panto will soon sort them out!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Hoorah, finally feeling better. First day up & dressed since Saturday & certainly feeling lots better but still not 100% so taking it easy.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why be hopeful today? Oh, why not. Soon, the cold will pass & all the flu bugs will go away & we will be saying it’s too hot!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I mad today? Oh, I just watched the news & saw a story about a child who was being kept tied up 16 hours a day by her parents. A 3 year old! Argh! That just makes me so angry! Well, Mom & Dad are off to jail, now, so hopefully the child will be safe.

  • Avon Shay

    Today, I’m happy to wake up & live a new day. It’s another opportunity to reach my goals; the ones I didn’t accomplish yesterday, the ones I plan for tomorrow. Everyday makes me happy, even if it’s only for a small amount if time because of the love I receive from my grandchildren. They are my sunshine when a day might otherwise be dark.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because last night we went grocery shopping and I forgot to get salt for my sidewalk and it is a freaking skating ring out there for the mailman and us. LOL ugh. I tell you what…if it isn’t on my list, it does NOT get purchased. LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that I am coming out of my annual holiday funk. The holidays are bittersweet for me. Every year I am transported by my horribly nostalgic mind to my childhood. I have wonderful memories of the holidays and horribly painful ones. I spend the month weepy and happy and just a basic moody mess. LOL I am glad to start feeling like myself again.

    Today I am happy because, even thought we had 4 inches of snow overnight and are under a level 1 snow emergency, hubby made it to work safely. I HATE it when he has to commute in this kind of weather. So happy he is safe and sound!

  • Sarah L

    Happy that it warmed up today – from -6 to 52 degrees.
    Hopeful that this cold of mine will END!
    Mad that I’m still coughing and sneezing.

  • Kristen

    I read a really great story today about a local boy who got adopted from foster care into a loving home, and that made me hopeful.

  • Kristen

    Someone when back on an agreement they’d made with me today…it wasn’t a huge deal, but it did kinda make me mad 🙁

  • Kristen

    I told someone about my New Year’s resolution today and she said “I’m gonna do that too!” That made me happy 🙂

  • cheryl lister

    I went to Target to take advantage of a special deal on dishwasher tabs. Unfortunately, my store was completely out of stock. Made me feel a bit annoyed.

  • cheryl lister

    I feel hopeful for an easy dinner plan tonight. My husband got a Panda Express gift card for Christmas an wants to use it tonight!

  • cheryl lister

    I got to spend the afternoon with my daughter shopping at the thrift store. And we got a great buy on a jacket. That makes me happy.

  • Rebecca Parsons

    What made me mad today was my DirecTv bill. I had no idea they were raising the price again. It seems like every time I turn around the rates go up.

  • Rebecca Parsons

    One thing that made me happy today was going with my daughter to her baby doctors! Excited about my soon to be born grandson!

  • Kimberly B

    So far nothing has made me mad today. I know it’s an odd thing when that happens because I’m usually always mad about something.

  • Kimberly B

    My grand daughter made me happy today. To see her big wide eyed smile when she woke up this morning is a wonderful way to start the day!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Nothing’s got me mad today other than my own impatience at being ill. I’m a terrible patient & always try to do too much too soon. I’m determined, this time, to give nature all the time it needs to get me better.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m hoping that I’ll be fit again for later in the week – I’m missing another rehearsal tonight but this way I should be able for the full dress rehearsal on Wednesday, a job interview on Thursday then opening night on Friday. Somewhere in between I’ll manage to get some food shopping done – getting a bit fed up of porridge (what you in the US call oatmeal) & Xmas biscuits/crackers.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Phew! At last I seem to be getting over this chesty cough – it’s taken a while but I’m getting there. I’m taking it easy again today & really minding myself for once. Listening to my body is not something I’m good at – I usually fight it till I drop. Must be growing up!

  • Dawn Monzu

    Oh boy….what made me mad? I have this darn laptop that I wanted to sell, but I opened it today to reset it and get it ready…..It won’t take my password!!!! I don’t even remember setting a password on it! WTH! I have put in any and all passwords that I can possibly think of. Hopefully I can figure it out! God bless everyone!

  • Dawn Monzu

    I am hopeful that I will finally follow through with getting myself healthy this year. Have I started it yet? No….but I really am hopeful that I will. I also have hope that I will find the jewel that fell out of my ring. I actually lost my ring a few days ago, but my Mom found it. Then a day later the jewel fell out! Darn!!!!!

  • Dawn Monzu

    Well…the thing that made me happy? I woke up to enjoy another day! I’m blessed….I have my health, and my family. Seriously, I know it’s cheesy, but it really makes me happy that I woke up. With all of the bad crap that happens everyday (and the bad stuff on the news), it is good to just wake up and be able to live!!!! Happy New Year everyone!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today I’m happy my niece & nephews went back to school. It finally seems the Holidays are over & all is normal again, lol.

  • Cathy French

    Having terrible dreams this morning before waking made me mad. I hate it when that sets the tone for the day because you just can’t quit thinking about it.

  • Cathy French

    Today I am hopeful I can get everything done that I need to. I have a mammogram tomorrow and also need to run errands so I need to get more done today than usual.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because my fav Italian restaurant just finished a remodel that looks horrid and cheap and yet they more than DOUBLED the prices on their menu! I was SO disappointed when we went there and saw this. We used to go there all of the time because it was affordable. Now, we won’t be able to go there hardly at all. 🙁

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that we will get the snow they are calling for and hubby will have a snow day at home with me tomorrow! LOL They are calling for 5-7 inches by morning, so fingers crossed!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because even though it is STUPID cold outside (12 degrees with -3 windchill) the sun is shining and that is so nice after the days of dreariness we have had in the past week! The sun feels so warm on my back coming in the window. It is bliss!

  • Stacy

    One thing that made me happy today is that it is my birthday! I am happy to have made it another year, especially because I recently had a major health issue!

  • Alessandra

    What made me happy today? Except this giveaway? :))
    What made me happy today was waking up to a beautiful day filled with lots of things to do!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to be dancing to good music at the party tonight.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m angry the long vacation is over and now work is piled up.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy I have girls’ night today to shoo away the monday blue.

  • gina

    I am 35 weeks pregnant, so every time I felt my baby move or hiccup I felt hopeful.
    It is quite reassuring to feel your baby move!

  • Connie

    I was slightly angry when someone I knew waited to the last moment to do something they were supposed to do weeks ago. Yes, I’m being very vague in case that person ever read this comment 🙂

  • Connie

    I was hopeful when I saw that my husband noticed that the houses in a state we might move to were pleasantly inexpensive! We had no idea that they were priced like that.

  • Kristen

    Today is the first day of putting my resolution for this year into action….weekly Sunday dinners with the family. A roast and a baked zucchini side dish are in the oven right now…this makes me happy!

  • Sarah L

    Happy that the sun came out today.
    Hopeful that I’ll get better soon.
    Mad that I still have this cold and had to postpone my infusion for another week.

  • Piroska

    Sleeping in made me happy. I didn’t realize how zonked I was over the holidays, rushing around. A weekend of lazing around and doing nothing has been wonderful!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I just hope that I get better asap – I haven’t worked in a while so want to be able to give it my best shot at the interview on Thursday.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I haven’t felt mad just rotten – boo hoo, pity me – I’m feeling rotten & have spent most of the day in bed feeling miserable. I missed another rehearsal & we open on Friday and I have a job interview on Thursday – so maddening when this happens. The best laid plans & all that…

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Haven’t really felt happy about anything today, just down in the dumps because of this chesty cough. I’m shivery & feeling hot/cold all over.

  • Cathy French

    I’m happy today because I get another whole day to spend with my boyfriend. Its the end of his 4 day weekend and love watching sports and movies together.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I hopeful? Well, my niece & nephews go back to school tomorrow! I don’t have to get up before daylight to babysit! Yay for school, lolol!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I mad today? Can I be mad about Winter weather? Yesterday, it actually got up to 59. Today, it’s dropping quickly & by Wednesday the high will be about 17! (In Kentucky.) Geeze! This is nuts!

  • Tamra Phelps

    What made me happy today? Well, I spent the morning with all 3 of my brother’s kids. And they were behaving! Shocker, lol!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because the Swedish pancakes I had been looking forward to having ALL weekend did not happen. Hubby said the recipe, which he always makes, did not call for eggs, so we didn’t go to the store yesterday like planned. Guess what? It calls for eggs. GRRRR!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that my mood will improve. I started feeling really cranky last night after we lost $40 we didn’t have to lose at the casino. bleh. I am hoping that over the course of today my mood will improve. LOL

  • cheryl lister

    I had to make a return of a Christmas gift today. I assumed the long checkout line was for returns, when, in fact, the returns line had no one in it and I waited in the wrong line quite a while.

  • cheryl lister

    I felt hopeful today that I was able to do something beneficial for my church. I bought 10 packs of paper for them from Staples with easyrebate.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy to be in a warm house and not out in the cold & snow.
    Hopeful (still) that this cold will LEAVE!
    Mad that I’m still coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m a bit fed up that my chesty cough is back along with a temperature. I have to be fit & well for my big operation next month and if this doesn’t shift soon it’s going to be a big problem. I’ve spent most of the day in bed & missed a rehearsal for the Panto, but I have to look after my health.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I happy today? Hmm, I’m not sure I am. Well, things could be, & have been, much worse. So, I’ll be happy about that.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today I’m hopeful I can actually succeed at my New Year’s Resolution of improving my health this year. I need to drop some pounds for my diabetes issues.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because RIGHT after I posted what I was hopeful about, I got all 5 of my giftcards and it totalled only $25. LOL! I am not really mad, just disappointed. But I am also VERY grateful to have won so many this month. Some months I do all of that work and get NOTHING! Now THAT does make me mad. LOL

    • Connie Gruning

      Angie, entering is a LOT of work. When I have a dry spell it seems to run for a long time!! I need to get on a roll. I’m trying to win an iPad Mini. Of course jewelry too! What’s on your wish list?

      • angie lilly

        Dry spells SUCK! LOL I won something from you yesterday! LOL Thanks for that! My wish list is easy: money. LOL I use my giveaways to supplement my income and the most coveted wins are for gift cards like Amazon or just Visa ones that I can use anywhere to get anything. I also love to win gifts or things that I use every day like my fav brands or organic/natural cleaning products or health products. 😀

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful because I won 5 Amazon giftcard from Crowdtap drawings for December. At the least, that is $25! At the most, that is $500! I am hopeful it is more than $25! LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because the weather held off/changed and we are only having rain. That means that my partner and I WILL be able to go out to eat/have fun for our 25th anniversary of our first date! 😀

      • angie lilly

        Thank you! It was a good one for the most part. We had a really nice dinner out and some “fun” at the casino, but we lost all of our money, so that brought me down big time. LOL But hubby really wanted to go and I had been putting off going for MONTHS, because I don’t like going. I am too stingy and worried about money to find losing it fun. LOL

  • Karen Raider

    I am hopeful today because my Mother is being released from the hospital and going to a rehabilitation facility. She should be home in a few weeks.

  • Sarah L

    I was happy today to get a great massage.
    Hopeful that my cold is getting better.
    Mad that I’m still coughing even as I write this.

  • Rachel Beltz

    What made me happy today was waking up to my fluffy warm dog on my bed! Usually he doesn’t like to crawl into bed with me, but he must have given in to the temptation of my heating blanket!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Like I said above I’m hoping that she’ll finally get the line right. I know that once she gets it right, the problem will just dissolve away as will the nerves beforehand.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    This isn’t what made me mad today but what made a friend literally pull her hair out in frustration: there’s a line in the Panto script that she just cannot get right. It’s a crucial line as it gives the cue to the dancers, singers etc. but no matter how hard she tries it just won’t come! It’s got so bad that now she freezes and nothing at all comes out. From her position on the stage she can see me so tomorrow (it’s 11pm here) I’m going to give her cues & hopefully that’ll work.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Tonight I’m happy because it was a pretty good day all round really. The internal exam I was dreading went without a hitch & was relatively painless – honestly, when you stop to think about it, men really haven’t a clue about what makes a woman tick! We’re so different, it’s surprising we haven’t become extinct!

  • Erica Barnes

    I got mad today when the guys came to clean the gutters and informed me that we were missing several shingles, so now we have to get that fixed.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I mad today? Oh, just normal stuff. I need to go to the grocery, but my brother has to go for me because I’m out of commission, & it gets very frustrating.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I just can NOT shake this eye irritation/infection/whatever it is. I have been battling this on and off for months. UGH! I do NOT want to have to go to the doctor. bleh. LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that the weather will permit hubby and I to go out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our very first date. They are calling for a wintery mix but highs in the mid-40s.

  • Kimberly

    What has made me happy today is the fact that I am sitting here with the heater on and it is cozy and warm even though it is cold outside.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to have an easy Friday before the long relaxing last holiday weekend.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the neighbor who makes awful noise on early holiday morning.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy to be planning on places I want to visit when I fly home for Chinese new year!

  • Cathy French

    I am hopeful that the Ohio State Buckeyes win their bowl game tonight. Even though the anaylists seem to think they won’t win I am hopeful

  • Cathy French

    Seeing my boyfriend sweep and mop the kitchen floor made me very happy today. He has the day off and is helping me clean a bit.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because my hubby has been in a mood and it is dampening my holiday a bit. He is insisting on taking down the holiday lights from outside, even though I really wanted them to turn on tonight for one more night. I am not helping him take them down though. I refused. If he can’t give me one more night of light, then he can freeze his butt off out there by himself taking them down. Childish? Maybe, but it is a holiday and I am NOT doing what I don’t want to do! LOL

      • angie lilly

        awww! That sucks! You go girl! Get to putting up those lights! LOL We put up TONS of Winter Solstice lights this year but we NORMALLY take them down AFTER the 1st and the 1st is ALWAYS our last night to turn them on. He regretted it last night though. He kept saying, “its so dark and dreary…I should have waited.” LOL BUT then, we looked at the weather report and it is actually good that he took them down yesterday, as it is about to get really nasty for the next week or so, so…yeah…bleh. LOL

  • angie lilly

    2014 was a year of ups and downs, with too much loss for any person to handle but also lots of wonderful times to celebrate. I am hopeful that 2015 will contain much less loss and much more celebrations!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Still hoping my back gets better soon, that my dress arrives, that the high winds lessen (it’s been really stormy here, we even got seagulls in the field & we’re 30 miles inland) and that my medical scope tomorrow goes without a hitch.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Talking/writing about age – I am now officially middle-aged – AGH! I know all the words to The Good Ship Lollipop and remember seeing the film! So, that’s it then: middle-aged, fat, single – now I’m getting maudlin; I swear it’s not the gin!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well it’s the first day of the New Year & I’m happy that I’m at that age when going out on NY’s Eve, drinking too much, getting up to the sort of mischief that will make me cringe with embarrassment when I eventually get home to my own bed, is behind me! Instead I stayed in & watched a terrific B&W film from the ‘40s starring the marvellous Alec Guinness.

    • Connie Gruning

      Kate, I tried so hard to stay awake for midnight. I made it to 11 and just couldn’t stay awake another moment. I’m the opposite, I’ve never gone out on New Years Eve. I would love to out and drink to much and cringe in the morning. Ahhhhh some day.

  • Margot C

    My husband has a week off. I’m hopeful that sometime during that week he will put the light bulbs in in the kitchen in the fixtures that I can’t reach.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that the sun was shining and the temp got up above 25.
    Hopeful that this cold WILL go away soon.
    Mad that I’m still coughing and sniffling and feeling lousy.

  • cheryl lister

    I can’t dsay I actually was mad, but feeling just a bit annoyed that my husband ate all the guacamole from Chipotle! It’s one of my favorite foods.

  • cheryl lister

    My adult daughter has found some school programs that she might consider pursuing. Great news, as she has had a difficult time in life lately, moving forward.

  • Meghan

    What made me happy today was being able to visit Adventure Aquarium in Camden NJ courtesy of passes I won through a giveaway. It’s very expensive there but we were able to afford it today. Our whole family went & had a wonderful time!

  • Cathy French

    While doing laundry today I found a big mess my kitty left for me in the basement. The worst kind of mess so use your imagination. Makes me so mad

  • Dana Truitt

    Happy Well just waking up and G-d allowing me to be happy and have all of my faculties is enough to make me Happy all day long. But what really made me happy was the breakfast in bed my hubby made for me!! He’s so sweet!
    Hopeful That would be the new job that came in at 10am. We own a sandblasting business and a new job was scheduled with us today a 3000 dollar job!! Yahhh that makes me hopeful that it will be a good year!
    Mad I’m mad at my mom, she said she was coming to see me this weekend and told me last night she wasn’t coming.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today, I’m hopeful that we can finish this year on a high note! Hopefully, everyone will get over this flu bug going around here, & have a great New Year!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Still hoping that the pain goes away or at least eases up a bit – I’d love to be able to go for a swim/Jacuzzi after being immobile for so long. And I’ve just realised that today is New Year’s Eve – where has this year gone? It is true, the older you are the quicker the time flies. Anyway here’s wishing each & every Connie fan (and Connie herself of course) a very Happy, Peaceful & Safe New Year or in Irish: Athbhliain faoi mhaise dhaoibh! Pronounced ah vleean fwee vosh-ah geeuv while 2015 is dhá mhíle is a cúig déag or gaw vela is a coo-ig day-ag. Hope you found this useful!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    It’s really maddening that the pain in my back is still there. It’s not as bad as it has been, just bad enough to stop me doing anything. I’ve finally started to take painkillers that are quite strong but one of the side effects is that they make me itch all over! And I mean really itch – not nice.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Hap hap happy today as my first big rehearsal was last night & I’ve got a lot of work to do learning all the songs, the musical director’s instructions and the tricky harmonies. I went to sleep singing, was singing in my dreams and still singing when I woke up and I’ll be living, sleeping & dreaming Treasure Island from now until the final night, Jan 17th! Love it!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because a week ago my mother sent us $60 in the mail for Xmas. My hubby put it in his wallet without even asking me and spent it all on I have no idea what! Probably junk food at the office. He gets mad when I ask him where it went and all defensive. I would have liked to have used some of that money toward some of our bills but it is all gone now. $60 in a week! ugh. You just can not give that man cash, ever! grrr

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that I can stay awake until midnight tonight to celebrate NYE with my partner. LOL I have had a total of 6 hours of sleep in the past two days and am so freaking tired! Going to try to take a nap this afternoon. LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because it is NYE and hubby will be home around 5pm so that we can start our fun evening together. He is also off tomorrow, so we will continue to enjoy our time together tomorrow. I am so looking forward to a nice, safe, relaxing evening full of good food and laughter with my fav person in the world! Happy New Year!

  • Natalie Brown

    It’s not very often that I get mad. I can get frustrated easily sometimes though. lol I was shaking my head today because my step-mother sent me the rudest note but, of course, she wouldn’t think it was rude. Crazy!

  • Natalie Brown

    Hello! Today I am hopeful for the new year. I’m truly hoping that, in the new year, I’ll stick to my goal of finishing organizing and decorating my apartment. I so want it all pretty and “me”.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to have a wonderful New Year Eve party with friends today.

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad ignorant people are not aware of keeping pets indoors during fireworks.

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy it’s New Year’s Eve and I’m seeing fireworks today.

  • cheryl lister

    My friend wanted me to pick up a form at the DMV for her today. The line was out-the-door, however, and I wasn’t able to help her out.

  • cheryl lister

    The temperature is quite cold here today (at least for southern California) and so I’m feeling hopeful that we get a little bit of snow! And am thankful that I can stay home to enjoy it.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that the sun is shining today even though it’s -1 degree.
    Hopeful that my cold will eventually go away.
    Mad that my ribs hurt from coughing and my head hurts.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Today, I’m happy because it has been a very slow day! Yep, slow days are good these days, when things have been too stressful for a month!

  • melisa

    What made me hopeful today: I received a (late) Christmas card from someone that I haven’t heard from in years, the relationship was strained and I had no way of contacting them. It was very nice to hear from them, and I’m hopeful about our relationship from here forward.

  • melisa

    What made me made today: My daughter’s car wouldn’t start so she WALKED to work, in SUBZERO weather! SHE DIDN’T EVEN CALL ME! I would have driven her in a heartbeat–that made me angry, panicked, and worried all at the same time!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I just hope I can get the stains out of my ceiling without having to repaint it. It doesn’t look as if it will shift so it’s going to have to wait till my back improves before I paint it again. That will teach me: if my desk wasn’t cluttered, I would have had the bowl on the desk and not the floor and anyway, eating at your desk isn’t good for you (or your ceiling!).

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I could have kicked myself (again) today – I painted my bedroom ceiling a couple of weeks ago & this morning I was going to eat breakfast at my desk. I had the bowl of muesli & berries on the floor and what did I do? I put my foot on the spoon in the bowl which sent a big blob of berry juice & bits all over my lovely ceiling. AGH!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today I’m happy because it was a beautiful day – sunny, dry and crispy cold. I managed a long walk even with my achy back. So nice to be able to get out & about!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because my brand new PJs that I have only worn once ripped! They are BRAND NEW and completely dry rotted! Back they go, that is for sure! I just hope they will work with me on not having to pay return S&H. They normally only give you free returns if you do an exact exchange for the same thing, but I am leary of getting these again for fear it is a bad batch of fabric. UGH!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that we have not waited too long to get what we need for our NYE night at home. We are going to the grocery store tonight to pick everything up but we are cutting it very close! LOL

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because I was able to surprise my hubby yesterday by decorating for NYE. He loved it! And this morning, when we woke up and he was looking at it again, he hugged me and thanked me for making his morning all sparkly. LOL I love this man so much! 😀

  • mai tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to come up with some good food for NEW Year’s Eve today.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the drunkard neighbor who blasts awful music in the early morning hours.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy to see many happy dogs on the way to work today.

  • Margot C

    I know this is dorky but I’m happy that I cleaned my entire counter and all of the shelves. there was flour everywhere from Christmas baking!

  • Natalie

    Oops!! I didn’t realize mine wasn’t fourteen words!! So I’m reposting with this extra stuff!! I KNEW that I should have added at the end of my sentence: “Yes, I am in love with Bruce Willis!!” :p
    My mom and I watched The Prince with the gorgeous Bruce Willis 😀

  • cheryl lister

    I was not very happy today trying to exchange a jacket at the store. My husband mistakenly go me a children’s jacket but I had trouble finding another to replace it.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that I’m inside a warm house: windchill readings as low as 15 degrees below zero
    I’m hopeful that this cold will go away.
    Mad that I’m still coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Hoping & keeping everything crossed that my LBD arrives in time, that I lose a couple of pounds, that no bills arrive this week, that I don’t get ill and that everything goes well at a medical examination I have coming up on Friday (I could go on & on …)!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Still no sign of my little black dress from my eBayer – come on guys, Christmas is over, back to business! I wouldn’t mind but they’re not even Christian so no excuses! As long as it arrives by the end of next week for the Panto run I should be ok (we have to wear black in the orchestra pit) because everything’s a bit tight after all the steroids I’ve been on lately.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I took Mum & Dad out today for a lovely lunch to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary! Dad, of course, found fault with everything & Mum took pleasure in putting him in his place. Ah, well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

  • Cathy French

    yesterday we sat the Sunday paper near a heat register to dry it out since the paper boy didn’t completely wrap it in plastic and it rained. Today I am mad that the coupon insert is still too wet to do anything with.

  • Cathy French

    Finding some receipts my boyfriend hid for Christmas gifts he bought me made me hopeful today. A few things he bought don’t fit me and I need to return them. Now I am hopeful that I can with the receipts.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Why am I hopeful today? Well, my oldest nephew is here today, so hopefully I can get him to go get the mail for me, lolol! My knee is acting up & that walk to the mailbox feels long!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because a “friend” of mine who NEVER comments on ANYTHING I post in regard to my photography found it in her heart to comment on my photography photo today in all caps something negative and snarky. WHY? Why do people do this? I will never understand it. It is obvious that I am sharing my art, something I am very passionate about and sensitive about and she KNOWS this, and, yet, it is more important for her to share HER snark than to support me. I could never do that to a friend. I think it is time for me to reassess things. She is toxic to me, of that there is no doubt.

    Today I am hopeful because I was able to lose 1.3lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can’t believe it! I am hopeful this means that I am back on my road to weight loss for the new year!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because hubby will be getting off work 30 mins early on New Year’s Eve and is off New Year Day! I am really looking forward to watching Kathy and Anderson on CNN and eating yummy foods on NYE! Then sleeping in and watching the Rose Bowl Parade on NYD! 😀

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful it’ll be an easy day at work since everyone’s still on holiday mood.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at the ridiculous cold of the morning.

  • cheryl lister

    Nothing really made me mad today, but I guess I was a little bit annoyed. I had to go to 2 different stores before finding the loaf of bread I needed for unexpected company tonight.

  • cheryl lister

    My daughter has been struggling with some mental health issues lately. Today she was very involved with a creative project for a friend and that made me feel hopeful for her state of mind.

  • cheryl lister

    I found a great clearance sale today at Michaels. I found some nice goodies for stocking stuffers for the grand children to use next year.

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that my home is warm.
    Hopeful that I’ll get rid of this cold.
    Mad that my head hurts and I’m coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose a lot.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m still hoping that my back gets better but my sister knows an acupuncturist who works from home. Hopefully she’ll be able to see me tomorrow (Monday). Just realised that it’s my parents wedding anniversary tomorrow – 58 years! Can’t get my head around that at all!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I couldn’t sleep again last night because of the pain in my back so about 4am I got up to make a hot drink and to try to doze in an armchair. I went into the kitchen & yeuch! I’d stepped in cat puke in my bare feet! Ugh! Then I had to try to clean the floor & my feet without waking anyone & without hurting my back – after that all thoughts of sleep had well & truly disappeared. That darned cat!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Happiness, for me, consists of singing and this afternoon (it’s gone 9pm here) I had plenty of opportunity to do just that. Every year I’m a backing singer in the local Pantomime so I sit in the orchestra pit along with one or two others & we harmonise etc. to the vocals on stage. We have the Panto in January whereas most amateur dramatic groups hold theirs in the run-up to Christmas and many parents & grandparents give Panto tickets as Christmas presents. It’s a great way to spend an evening in what would otherwise be a long & dreary January and although it’s hard work I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

  • Sherry Martindale

    We moved into a new apartment today, so I feel very blessed to have a safe, comfortable place to live. Thanks and praise be to my Lord.

  • Tamra Phelps

    What made me mad today? Well, I woke up feeling a little under the weather. I’m so tired of this draggy feeling & the nasty weather that seems to feed it.

  • Myra R

    something that made me mad today was that i had gotten my brother a car starter for xmas and that is the most expensive gift i have ever got him and xmas morning he went to his dads to do xmas gifts first then came home to do ours and i was so excited for him to open it to see the look on his face and he opened it and went “oh….no….my dad just got me one…sorry” and it broke my heart and i cried and cried cause he always gets me these big extravagant gifts and it was my turn to reciprocate for once and he has to return it now and it made me mad cause it didnt go the way i played it out in my head and it really hurt me.

  • Myra R

    what made me happy today was that i got plane tickets and hotel stay paid for for my upcoming trip!! so now it feel real like i am actually going and i have never been to vegas before so i am really excited about checking it out and having a good time and getting away from the stress of life for awhile!

  • Christine Beasley

    I’m hopeful for the economy to continue improving with lower gas and fuel prices. I really appreciate the value of the dollar being stretched.

  • Betsy Barnes

    Today was a pretty happy day. My favorite college football team, Penn State won the New Era Pinstripe Bowl!! It has been awhile since they were in any bowls. I really admire the players who stayed on and played strong without any chances of championships. To overcome that horrible past and continue says a lot! 🙂

  • Sarah L

    I’m happy that I don’t have to go anywhere today.
    I’m hopeful that I’ll beat this stupid cold.
    I’m mad that I have a cold and feel yucky.

  • Rosie

    What made me hopeful? I found a couple of good books through the library online system and also B&N, on a subject that I need to know more about, but have been having a hard time finding info.

  • Rosie

    What made me mad today? I’m at the library and the people near me are making too much noise, I hate the library says it is ok to talk, b/c people holler so loud over each other might as well be in a bar.

  • Rosie

    What made me happy was a neighbor left some recent magazines and chocolate that I happened to be the one to claim it first!!! The early bird got the “worm”!!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    My first rehearsal for the annual Pantomime is tomorrow afternoon. Can’t wait! Here’s hoping it’s as good as last year’s when every night was a full house & we were given standing ovations from the first to the last performance.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    The only thing that’s maddening me today is the ongoing pain in my back but I’m carrying on regardless and that’s probably the wrong thing to do. I should really be lying down and completely resting it but what can you do? I’ll get the chores done and go to bed early though.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today I had a lovely time reading a wonderful book I got for Christmas! A charity shop find dating from the 1970s, it’s the Penguin Dorothy Parker. The first part is her 1944 collection of short stories ‘The Portable Parker’ and the second part contains some of her later writings, review and articles. Magical stories from one of my favourite authors, the Queen of urbane wit.

  • Meghan

    What made me mad was really nothing. So far, despite not being hopeful, nothing has made me mad. Then again the day is young, I am sure something will happen. LOL

  • Meghan

    What made me hopeful today? Hmm…Since Christmas night I have not been very hopeful & sadly, it has crossed over to the weekend. Lots on my mind but it will get better, right?

  • piper

    This kind of goes with what made me hopeful. Before I was able to fix the blu ray player I was super angry thinking it wouldn’t play another movie. I am on disability and reading and movies are the only things that keep me sane sometimes.

  • piper

    I”ve been really bummed lately because my blu ray player was only playing the discs maybe 1/3 of the time. Assumed it was dying and wouldn’t be able to afford a new one. Messed around with it today and now it seems to be playing just fine! Feeling hopeful that it is completely fixed up.

  • Joe

    I returned an item to AutoZone today and instead of putting the money back on my credit card like they were supposed to, they gave me cash! That made me pretty happy.

  • Natalie

    Something that made me mad today is that my mom brought the wrong pair of skis for me, so we had to drive 30 minutes all the way back home to get them, and then go to the ski place.

  • Edmond

    Re: OMG, I am happy if I win this contest.. Wow, prize $35 is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Pick me, pick me! Dear Santa: I’ve been nice. My X-Mas wish this year is to win this contest.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Tonight I was looking forward to going to a party in my new LBD – not only am I unfit to party (boo hoo) but my little black number still hasn’t arrived – agh! Never mind, there’ll be other parties and Pantomime season starts next week!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Dad says he’ll give me a back massage later this evening (it’s 5pm here) so I’ll soak in a hot bath, have a massage then go to bed or lie on the floor to ease all the kinks out of my back. Hopefully I’ll manage to sleep again and feel better in the morning.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I had a lovely Christmas Day AND had a decent night’s sleep so I feel so much better today. The pain is still there but at least I’m rested. Managed a short walk as well – lovely to get out into the fresh air after the hot & steamy kitchen of yesterday!

  • Stacy

    I am HOPEFUL that I am going to actually get to meet the Phelps twins from the Harry Potter movies in a few weeks. Universal Orlando is doing another Harry Potter Expo and I am going! I was able to see them speak at the event last year, but this year I am hoping to attend an autograph session.

  • Stacy

    I am HAPPY that today begins a Harry Potter marathon weekend on ABC Family! Even though I own all of the movies, I still love watching them on TV whenever they are on, especially on ABC Family because they have the “extended editions.”

  • Cathy French

    What made me mad today was realizing my boyfriends check won’t be deposited until next wee.k. Makes grocery shopping and paying bills quite difficult. could not believe the bank was already closed on Wednesday when he got his check.

  • Cathy French

    Even though I am way behind due to the holidays I am hopeful I can get my grocery shopping done today. I haven’t even made a list or coupon matched anything yet but I’m hopeful I can do it.

  • Cathy French

    What made me happy today was waking up knowing the holiday is finally over. Even though the anticipation is great it is so much greater when christmas is over for another year.

  • Christina Moore

    I’m hopeful today because I think I’m still getting a few gifts in the mail from family who mailed packages late! It’s nice to have something to look forward to after Christmas is over and done.

  • Christina Moore

    It snowed all night, and is still snowing lightly. The roads look pretty bad. It’s the day after Christmas, I don’t have to work and have nothing planned. I have an excess of cookies and yummy holiday food, and I have a stack of movies ready to go. My day is planned. 🙂

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I got a free product coupon emailed to me only to find out that the store it is good at does NOT accept online freebie coupons EVER. GRRR! I hate stupid coupon policies like this but mostly I hate the dishonest couponers who have created a need for such policies. If people could just be honest and not take advantage, coupon policies like this would never have happened!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful that my hubby will get out of work early or AT LEAST on time. He has been doing SO much OT and I HATE it! LOL Tonight, of all nights, he needs to leave on time and I am hopeful that he will stand up for himself and get it done!

  • Mandala

    I am happy to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Happy that I get the chance to have some vacation time to see some of family who live out of state too. Thanks!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I hope, hope, hope that this pain will ease up a bit. It’s very hard to be festive and full of the joys of the season, never mind wishing goodwill to all men when even standing still hurts like hell. I guess I just have to let nature take it’s course but patience has never been my forté.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    So fed up with my back. It’s now so painful I can’t even lie down so at 7am I gave up trying and managed to get a couple of hours in the armchair but I’ve been tetchy due to lack of sleep & pain, in fact a proper Humbug! Feel like screaming & shouting so I’d better put on some relaxing music or a bit of meditatiion would probably help.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Really happy about last night’s performance singing carols around the village Christmas tree. The weather was cold and crisp, the wind dropped so the candlelight was beautiful and the children’s faces were bright and happy. A wonderful tradition that makes the spirit come alive with hope and gratitude.

  • Margot C

    I’m not mad about a thing (well, maybe I am mad at all of the irresponsible people who just dump their old or sick dogs and cats)

  • Margot C

    I am hopeful because tomorrow we go to the SPCA and get a NEW DOG! (well, an old used dog that no one but us wants – which is better than new I think) It’s my Christmas present to myself

  • Piroska

    Watching my little granddaughter open her presents this morning made me very happy. It’s so nice to see Christmas through little ones’ eyes.

  • Lori Berson

    Mad today even though its Christmas because one of our children can’t seem to find the time to call or return our calls so we can see one of our newest grandsons. He is just a little over a year old and we maybe see him every three months.

  • Lori Berson

    Merry Christmas to everyone! Can’t wait for the grandkids to wake up and open all their gifts and see the excitement on their faces.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m hoping that my back improves so that the pain isn’t so bad and that the weather improves a bit for the Carol Service tonight. I hate not being able to do things especially now when there’s so much to do. Poop, Hell’s Bells & fiddle-dee-dee!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    My back is driving me mad – the pain is as bad as ever and my chiropractor is away till the New Year. I hate taking painkillers etc. but if this keeps up I’ll have to, just to get through Christmas Day. At the moment I can’t even pick up things up if I drop them and I certainly can’t carry things – even filling the kettle hurts.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    What made me happy today was receiving a Christmas card from a very dear friend who moved abroad years ago and we lost touch. She recently moved back to Ireland and I spent a lovely hour on the phone to her; it’s so nice to know that she’s back in my life.

  • Tamra Phelps

    What made me happy today? Well, my brother & his wife are off the next 3 day, so I don’t have to get up & babysit! Merry Christmas to me, lol!

  • Susan Christy

    I don’t get MAD very often, but I do get irritated. Stopped to buy BBQ on my way home and it took forever for them to get my order ready. I have things to do, dude – it’s Christmas eve!! haha

  • Susan Christy

    My office was supposed to be open all day. The bosses all took the day off, and one of them called at 9 and said we could leave at noon – paid!

  • Cynthia C

    I am angry at the weather forecast today. We are expecting up to 60 mph winds tonight and tomorrow and if the power goes out I won’t be able to cook our holiday dinner!

  • Margot C

    I am completely mad at MYSELF because I had everything ready, everything! That’s everything except some containers to put the five hundred Christmas cookies that I have made (don’t worry, they are in zip locks right now). So, I have to brave the stores just to buy them.

  • Nancy

    Nothing makes me mad very often and I’m certainly not mad today. Well maybe a tiny bit mad that all the sugar cookies are gone – LOL!

  • Sherri

    I was mad at myself today for having to blow off another family get-together and disappoint people. I am so tired of having fibromyalgia

  • Taryn T.

    One thing that made me hopeful today is reading some research on my condition. I have a rare pregnancy related heart condition, and am currently undergoing evaluations for the heart transplant list. I found some alternative therapies and things that might help!

  • Taryn T.

    One thing that made me happy is that my husband decided to clean out from under the couch. Guess where all our socks have been hiding? Plus we found a gift card that had been lost and 4.00 in change…. It’s the little things that make me happy!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because my aunt only comments on posts that I post on FB that are in any way/shape/form negative or could be construed to be negative about my mother. I do NOT appreciate that. She is nowhere to be found on ANY other posts but always there with some snark or negativity if I mention my mom. I love my mom very much and joke about her often because she is funny, but my aunt has never liked my mom and her comments are really getting on my nerves. It is rude and inappropriate. FYI my aunt was my dad’s sister and my parents split up in the 80s, so yeah…not OK.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful because I did a preliminary tax return to see what my refund would be this year and it came in at over $3700. If this stays the same or improves, I will be able to pay off some debt and get some things that my family really needs…not wants…needs!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because, even though I don’t celebrate it, my hubby is off tomorrow for Christmas. I am looking forward to a very relaxed, low-key day of snuggling in bed and watching TV with him and eating lots of good breakfast food all day! LOL

  • Brynn Dexter

    It made me angry today because my package was not delivered on time today like it was supposed to be so I am upset the my famiy will not ge it by christmas

  • Brynn Dexter

    My husband made me so hopeful today. We are going through a hard time and I was depreesed about it and he helped me feel hopeful about everything

  • Margaret Smith

    What made me hopeful today is that I heard a nice story about someone who gave a homeless man $100. He then watched and filmed the homeless man to see what he would do with the money. The homeless man went into a store, bought food and walked to a area where there were a number of other homeless people and he gave all the people food. It was quite heartwarming.

  • Margaret Smith

    Nothing really made me mad today. Got a lot done, getting ready for Christmas. Finished wrapping and did some cooking 🙂

  • Anne Marie Carter

    I am feeling hopeful today because I have already finished making 4 batches of cookies and I have just a few more batches to go, and I will then be done.

  • Anne Marie Carter

    The way that people are driving today has made me mad. Well, maybe not mad. but I don’t want to be driving on the road with them.

  • Anne Marie Carter

    My husband made me happy today when he ran to the store and got me eggs. I was in the middle of making cookies and I ran out of eggs. I really didn’t want to have to stop my cookie making momentum to go to the store for eggs.

  • Katie

    I am happy today because their were lots of lemons on my tree to pick. My daughter loves being outside so we were out there together getting some to give our friends and hubby’s coworkers.

  • Sherri

    I got mad when our oldest foster cat growled at and slapped one of the 4 month old foster kittens. Really? She weighs 3 pounds and purrs non-stop….. how can you growl and slap something so cute????

  • Sherri

    When my daughter told me all the things she got done around the house last night I was hopeful that she would feel up to vacuuming and steam cleaning the carpet. Unfortunately, last night seems to have set her back on her recovery from the flu 🙁

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    A bit fed up today ‘cos my Dad’s such a misery guts! I know he aches all over & he’s tired but sometimes I could shake him! For heaven’s sake he’s 81, what does he expect? And why, oh why, do Mum (who’s also 81, I might add!) & I have to do everything? I don’t know about you lot in the States, but over here we have a saying ‘Sure you’ll be a long time dead!’ In other words, make the best of what you have and to hell with it all!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    It’s a very cold, wild & windy day here in SE Ireland & I’m crossing everything that it clears up for the open-air Carol Service tomorrow night. If not, I’ll have to take a hot water bottle and wrap up in a duvet!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Happy, happy, happy! Today’s my day off – hoorah! I’ve been whizzing around the house like a headless chicken all day cleaning everything in sight, followed by a long soak in a bath – mmm! No carols tonight so saving my voice for tomorrow night for the Christmas Eve festivities.

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad because I qualified for an awesome mission on Smiley360 only to find out that the freebie coupons included in the mission were ONLY good at Publix. I don’t live anywhere near this store. Companies like this should ALWAYS make ALL of their missions available to EVERYONE who qualifies, OR they should pay attention to your profile and where you live and realize that you automatically do not qualify based on it. I wasted my time taking the surveys, got excited when accepted, only to have to pass on the mission due to the coupons being so limited. grrr

  • angie lilly

    Today I am hopeful because hubby took our vegetarian “meat”balls to his office potluck. I am hopeful that people will have an open mind and actually TRY them. I have taken vegetarian “meat” items to potlucks and had NO one willing to even TRY them. It hurt my feelings and I don’t want him to go thru that.

  • stephanie landeros

    Numerous things made me happy today! I just underwent surgery on Saturday so what made me most happy is getting up by myself got the first time since then. Hoping to be out of the hospital by Christmas Day!

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m mad at people who argue nonsense about trivial things at work.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m happy it’s the last day before the long holiday days off.

  • Mai Tran

    Thank you for the giveaway! I am so excited. I hope I win!! Thanks for the chance! I’m hopeful to be able to squeeze through the crowds today to finish shopping for Christmas.

  • Deb P

    We did Christmas shopping , most of it is done. Then we did gift wrapping and got every thing in order. So I think we are ready for Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone. 🙂

  • Judy Bradley

    I was mad at myself today because I went to pick up a gift I thought my son-in-law would love, I found out I had to pay quite a bit more because I did not pre-order it. Steam! I have known quite a while I wanted to get this for him, but I did not follow up to see how I could have saved money on it!

  • Judy Bradley

    Doing my daily reading, seeing ways the Lord loves me, in spite of all my mistakes, gives me hope that maybe I can achieve enough to show Him I love Him too and appreciate all that He has done for me, and does for me everyday!

  • Judy Bradley

    finishing everything on my errand list today made me very happy, and I even visited a couple extra places, tired, but done!

  • Deb Jackson

    I am hopeful both my parents will continue to improve and will be out of the hospital (flu)
    for Christmas. I am planning to take the meal and go to their house.

  • Deb Jackson

    I was mad today when I found out my brother is a jerk towards our parents. I am 2 hours away and it would be great to count on him sometimes.

  • Katie

    I am mad that I only got one leg shaved today. I wouldve really liked to shaved my right leg too. Now just my left is smooth while my right is wooly mammoth.

  • Diane K. Brimmer

    I am not mad today but I am sad that two of my granddaughters are sick and won’t be at our house for Christmas. I hope they are well to at least enjoy the day at their house. Not fun getting sick on Christmas.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I hope that the weather stays reasonably good over Christmas – I’m carolling again on Christmas Eve. It’s an outdoor performance and as we live in Ireland chances are it’ll rain but we’ve had some beautiful crisp & dry days lately so fingers crossed!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Mad, well, a little bit annoyed at myself again: I changed the duvet cover on Mum & Dad’s bed before realising that I’d used the wrong cover – they got a present of it but Dad hates it (it’s really pink & pretty) so I had to do it all over again. It’s super king-sized and I’m only 5’ 6” and now my back’s hurting again.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Happiness was having a decent night’s sleep for the first time in ages – sheer bliss being able to wake naturally, turn over & doze for another 10 minutes before getting up – ahhhhh!

  • Diane K. Brimmer

    I am really hopeful this antibiotic will work for me as this is the 4th one I have been on and I am at the end of my rope with the infection. I keep telling myself to stay positive. Stay positive! Not sure the pep talk is working but I will keep it up!

  • Diane K. Brimmer

    What really made me happy today is to finally see Monday come so I could get my prescription from the Pharmacy and get this antibiotic started. Hope it works this time, 4th one.

  • Stacy

    One thing that made me mad today is that because I slept so late, I didn’t notice when my dog was trying to wake me up to go out so he had an accident on the floor. Since I cannot bend down due to my surgery, I had to wait for my husband to come home for lunch so that he could clean it up (which in turn made HIM mad).

  • Stacy

    One thing that made me hopeful today is that my friend self-published his book! The print version was available yesterday and the Kindle version came out today. I know he has been working very hard to get it ready and I am hopeful that the book will do well and he will find success as an author.

  • Stacy

    One thing that made me happy today is that I was able to sleep in! I slept until 9:30 AM! I had surgery on December 4th and I can only sleep on my back, which is very uncomfortable. I also have to get up to use the restroom several times a night. Last night I actually slept through the night! Small victories!

  • abedabun dawn

    What made me hopeful today? As I was going over my recipes, I feel comfortable that I have all the ingredients and will not have to go gro. shopping again. I just hope no surprises pop up that does send me to the store. Its crazy out there LOL!

  • Tamra Phelps

    What made me mad today? Oh, December alone can make me mad sometimes! It’s too cold, everybody is sick or getting sick & it gets dark at 5 p.m.

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m hopeful this week will go smoothly & my brother & niece will get over their colds. And I hope my youngest nephew isn’t coming down with a cold!

  • Tamra Phelps

    What made me happy today? Well, I got to spend the day with my 5 year-old nephew, & when I was exhausted he also was! He fell asleep, lol.

  • abedabun dawn

    One thing that made me happy today? My husband had breakfast cooked and on the table (grits, eggs, bacon, toast and coffee) this morning when I woke up. How sweet he is 🙂

  • Sherri

    One thing that made me mad today… well not so much mad as aggravated and it gave me an eye twitch. Our middle cat went into the kitchen and stood there opening and slamming shut one of the kitchen cabinets…. over and over. Bam bam bam bam bam……..I am getting another eye twitch typing this 🙂

  • Sherri

    One thing that made me hopeful was when I was holding one of our new foster kitties and my youngest cat came up and stood there sniffing her and there was no growling, hissing, or slapping. I should have knocked on wood though, because right after he sniffed her he popped her upside the head 🙁

  • Sherri

    One thing that made me happy today was finding out I won 3 months free of Netflix. I was going to have to cancel our subscription for a while because money is so tight, but now I don’t have to!

  • tracey johnson

    I am hopefully that I will get the last few things for Christmas bought, then all I have left is some produce to buy Wednesday. Yeah
    Happy Holidays

  • angie lilly

    Today I am mad, or rather disappointed, because one of the things I had hoped to do for our Winter Solstice weekend was to go to a local historical reenactment. We found out that it is usually insanely crowded and so we decided not to go because we do not like crowds. I was so sad but our holiday weekend was still super!

  • angie lilly

    Today I am happy because I am still flying high from a wonderful Winter Solstice celebration yesterday. I have to say that it was probably the best holiday weekend hubby and I have had in a number of years!

  • Katie

    I would just love to win this! I looked at our wedding picture today that said love is hope, love never ends. Cheesy?!? Sorry! But it gives me HOPE. Merry Christmas!

  • Sherry Martindale

    Honestly, it is very early, but it makes me angry any time they mention the victim of police brutality, the “I can’t breathe” victim, because it just makes me want to scream that he is dead! It is so WRONG!!! I just don’t understand how they let this man lay there and die. What is wrong with our police force? Get the hell off him for a second and at least see if he is for real or not. It would have taken a few seseconds to realize he was in trouble and get EMS. It’s ridiculous when convicted child murderers get treated better than somebody selling a couple of cigarettes. Absolutely reprehensible! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sherry Martindale

    I always have renewed hope every morning for a new day, and as I woke up this morning I am feeling very blessed and praising God for my blessings. 🙂

  • Sherry Martindale

    I woke up this morning and I noticed that while I was sleeping my daughter stayed up late last night wrapping all of the Christmas presents!! When I glanced at the tree this morning it was no longer bare with wire showing because we forgot to buy a tree skirt lol. It now has beautifully wrapped presents underneath. It’s so beautiful and I just feel so blessed to have a daughter that would stay up late to do that for her family 🙂
