Happy Life, Happy Wife: Over a meager dinner of turkey and tuna sandwiches tonight I asked Chup what was Of Good Report in his life. "Coming home from work to a wife in a good mood." He responded (quickly). Today I totally took it easy (as I am learning to do) and spent the whole mid-morning making my son smile by the use of my high-toned baby talk and the old' blowing-on-the-tummy trick. In the afternoon, as he slept, I skipped out on promised laundry sorting and instead read, responded to funny, friendly e-mails and drank a clementine (oh my darlin') Izze. When rush hour had pushed my husband through the front door later this evening he commented that I "had light in my eyes again." To which I responded, "Okay but don't get any funny ideas."
Marilyn's Playlist: Admittedly I am not a huge fan of a playlist just popping up and scaring me to death every time I click on a blog. But I go to Marilyn's blog for the playlist (and also because I really have a lotta love in my heart for my favorite blueberry farmer's wife.) I keep that bloggified juxebox open and listen to it lullaby me for hours. I've given her kudos for this playlist many times on this blog and apparently I am not done. Her music is unique, interesting and intelligent. And usually she really has heard of them first.
Sturdy Rubberbands: Which currently pull my thickly textured hair back on hot summer nights. Who can sleep with their hair down in this heat? Which reminds me that my industrial-sized swamp cooler almost made the Of Good Report list but it sometimes works too well and The Chief and I end up with coldsie toesies.
Coldsie toesies. Who am I anymore?
Are you thinking about what to report on Of Good Report Friday?

I give a hearty here, here to Marilyn's Playlists. She's the best!
i am glad to hear you still have nice thick hair! mine always started falling out in clumps after i had my babies! you're a lucky girl!
I am with Danyelle. Marilyn has THE BEST taste in music. She has shown up on my door step more than once with fabulous music in hand, and I thank her for that a million times over! And those blueberries that her family produces...Oh HELLO! By far the BEST blueberries I have EVAH had. They are fat and round, and juicy...and oh sorry...now I'm just bragging. Anyhow, I guess what I am trying to say is, Danyelle is absolutely right, Marilyn is the best! (Why didn't I just say that instead of writing a novel?)
I don't have enough hair for sturdy rubber bands, but I do use the good solid black ones for my daughters hair. Nothing else holds a pretty little bun up during ballet like those puppies!
Knocking back Izzes and pulling back my hair make me happy too.
I'm thinking about Friday, although I won't know if I have happy news until tomorrow. I SURE HOPE SO!
Alas, my thin, fine hair can only be held back with those little tiny rubber bands made for braces or baby's pony tails.
On the upside, it makes long, hot summers very cool!
Sweet sweet c jane. Your words are the "music" to my ears today as I have had one of the roughest days in a while. Thanks and I love you!
What is an Izze?
I love your earring.
Izze are soft drinks for people who don't like sodas. Izzes are also for people who like sodas. Izzes will probably rule the world one day, what with their 70% sparkling water and 30% fruit juice.
If you want no sugar, no corn syrup, no artificial nonsense in your beverage, the divinity of Izze is for you.
Amen.
It's even prettier today!
yeah, ummm...I'm sorry, but, not so much on the earring today.
ps. but the cj's kinda cute.
