Good Gets Better

Monday, November 9, 2009


You know how things just pop into your head sometimes? Why? You have no idea but when they do it can be fun.

I woke up this morning thinking of coffee. Mmm! So good. But what would be a little better? A steaming hot vanilla latte from Caribou Coffee.

Then I checked my email. No bad news = good. An email telling me I won the Amazon.com sweepstakes...BETTER. OKay, I didn't win, yet, but my fingers and toes are crossed.

Good: Chocolate
Better: Raspberry chocolate

Good: Facebook
Better: Finding a long lost friend or relative on Facebook

Good: A good book
Better: A book so good you neglect everything in order to finish it

Good: Writing
Better: Watching your fingers fly over the keyboard with a scene you've got to get down

Good: A day off
Better: Doing something just for you on that day off

Good: Watching a movie
Better: Watching a movie that makes you cry

Good: A shower
Better: A hot, relaxing bubble bath

Good: Sleep
Better: 8 hours of uninterrupted slumber bliss

Now it's your turn. What's good for you? What would make it better?

Those are spectacular. You came up with some really great ones. I especially like the one of sharing laughter and fun with your sister over coffee.

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your brother. Big hugs and prayers go out to you and your family.

BJ,

You're right. That's nice to hear. isn't it? Much better than, "I don't like you, mama." Oh yeah, I heard that one last week.

Beth,

Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I bet is was awesome. That 'better' day is right around the corner. Hang in there.

Tori,

See! You came up with a great one! Now who are these (in)famous people you may be related to? Do tell!

SIS Barb aka Elle J Rossi

Elle J Rossi said...

Bren,

I'd take one stress free day. I'm so with you on that one! Italy would be even better if you could dine with your sisters, right?

You better be writing. We've got a bet going on!

Tori Lennox said...

Well, supposedly I may be related to Jesse James (the bank robber not Sandra Bullock's husband *g*) and Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie & Clyde fame) and Pretty Boy Floyd. Also some more fun people like Mae West, J.M. Barrie, Frank Lloyd Wright and Doc Holliday. Now whether any of this is actually true, I have no clue. :)

Barb said...

Tori,

Please keep us updated. That is very exciting! Jesse James would be awesome.
