I've heard it said that love isn't always fun, but fun very often leads to love.

Makes some sense, because people having fun are pretty attractive in that moment anyway.

SO....how much fun are you having?


What can you do to increase your level?


(I mean frequency AND intensity!)

Hmmmm. I actually laugh a lot, and have found that is a great pick me up. Just at jokes, with friends, I laugh. It helps a lot.

But now that I have a fat raise, I will probably be taking D12 out of town some weekends, just exploring, to get away and try to do a few different things. It should be fun!

Excellent....this is so important to extend to our Ds....(and Ss)....and good for us because it's fun to be with these kids. My D16 is too much fun...I adore her company. We're doing a 1/2 marathon this weekend....I can't wait. Well...maybe....

We have a place in New Mexico close to where I live called Carlsbad Caverns. There is a season where, early in the morning, bats fly out by the thousands. The caverns themselves are beautiful, but one of the first weekend trips I would like to plan is a drive up there during the bat season so D12 and I can see that, and then go explore the caverns. We would spend the night because you have to be up at about 5am to see the bats, but I think that would be a memory that would last a lifetime!

Don't they fly out in the evening, and return in the morning? I was over there one evening when they left, it was pretty impressive!

It might be. I know they have a website, and I went to the caverns once, but it was off season. The caverns themselves are magnificent, but I really want to see the bats. It probably won't be until next month, and I am afraid they will be hibernating by then, but I am going to make sure that when it is the on season, this is one of the things D12 and I do!

You should! It's cool! I should get our hummingbird feeders out, and see if our bat visitors will come. The only problem is that they drain them every night!

Great questions!

I am having a blast in almost everything I am doing. (It is my choice to perceive something as positive or negative, so I choose positive)

I had a great opportunity to spend some quality time with D6 yesterday. Her school had a field trip to town, and they went to a park after wards. I took a break from work, and surprised her. We were swinging together. She was sitting on my lap. What a wonderful time we had....(Again it was my choice to leave work and have fun with her...)
