Oh, yeah, right! Winter Wonderland? I'm in what is called the snow capital of the world by the media, it's the end of November, after 11:00 at night and it is almost 60 degrees! Winter Wonderland my ass! Hmmm... but it appears Seattle is experiencing some winter weather as I saw it on Monday Night Football. Aaaahhh and the media says it always rains there. Go figure. You need to know the weather? Look outside!
It's no wonder so many people have the crud, no one knows how to dress! I know it sounds like I'm complaining, and maybe some where in my subconscious I am, but I really don't mind the nice weather. I know that it won't be long before the cold and snow arrive to stay. Maybe I just get so tired of folks thinking it snows here 11 months a year. I was on the phone with someone from down south today and when they found out I where I was, they asked how much snow we had. Grrrrr Apparently they thought we still had the snow that fell back in October. They were genuinely surprised when I said it had melted the next day. Maybe I should have said I needed to put my snow shoes on and walk to work as there was just so much snow the roads were closed.
Do I sound crabby? As I went back and read that it almost sounded like I was bitching. LOL I'm not, I'm being a bit sarcastic and silly. For a Monday night I am actually in a great mood, you know how I hate Mondays! Work was not bad. My desk was not piled high for a change, but I did have a few voice mails and several emails. Before I knew it the clock was striking 10. Thanks for all the energy, all the good vibes helped!! I wasn't in too much pain and I was able to eat my soup without incident. Some folks knew what was going on and immediately sought me out to see how I made out. The compliments made me feel really good but then also made me think how right I was and they were bad before. Only one person that did not know made a comment. We were standing talking aboutsomething else and she mentioned something looked different. I was waiting for her to ask if I got my hair cut or something, but before I could say anything she asked me to smile again. She thought I had veneer's, and commented on how pretty they looked. She also made mention, like so many others have, that I talked different. Not that I'm talking like I have a mouth full of shit, but rather that I am not so self conscious and I open my mouth freely as I talk, I smile freely. I no longer make every effort to cover my teeth by not opening my mouth properly. YEAH!! I also have been feeling great. The pain I had prior is gone. No more headaches and no more issues with my sinuses. They say mouth/teeth issues can cause so many other problems and I have to say I agree. Or.... it's the drugs talking and it's all in my head.
Like I said I'm in a great mood and was feeling a bit silly today, so I just played around with a few graphics. They are all over the board, but I had fun doing them. Maybe you'll find something you like. I have to say the abominable snowman in the bath cracked me up. The little 'critter' making the snowman looks like he has something in his hat trying to escape. Not the effect I was looking for but what the hell... LOL
Remember, when saving animation you need to save as a .GIF file. If AOL does not give you that option, select all files and then before saving type in .GIF after the file name I gave it. Saving any other way will cause the animation to be lost. Also AOL pictures and animation are not compatible.
Tink is available on my tag journal. I know I shouldn't post it here as I really want you to leave a comment over there or email me at MyDsDesigns@aol.com so I can keep things straight and not miss a request, but I know some visitors here would like it and don't always go to that journal or have it on alerts. Ok, and I thought I'd pimp myself too. LOL But please, help this gal out and send the requests there. Goood gaaawd the drugs could really cause some confusion this time around :)~
Off to bed... again thanks for the good vibes and energy. Let's hope tomorrow is as smooth.
Hugs

So happy that yesterday went well for you at work!! I know what it feels like to want to hide your mouth when you laugh or talk because of a teeth issue, so that must be so freeing not to have to do that anymore! Nice that people actually noticed too!!! And, hey, I thought Buffalo had snow all year 'round? What do you mean you don't!!? Hee-hee!
Hugs and love,
Lisa

Glad to hear you had a good day on your first day back at work. The comments from your fellow staff and co-workers really must have made you happy that you went through all of this. Your graphics are great, as usual. Hope today goes just as well for you!

Oh my goodness, D, I love the Winter Wondeland one. That gnomy guy is so darned weird but absolutely adorable! Now, I know I have to snag that one. Love the Santa and his lovely in the window. I had a few window panes last year but can't find them for the life of me.
I have to laugh at AOL and animation. Boy, they sure do screw it up in many different ways. I've had some that just won't attach correctly even.
Glad you're feeling better and had a good day at work.
HUGS Chris

glad your doing well with t he teeth and I have to admit this weather is taking the feeling out of the season. this year it cooled down early and I was so happy when in september we did not have warm weather last past when it was suppose to like the last few years. and now this. it depresses me greatly. yeah my friends hub was watching the game and saw the snow . I snagged a few animations. I remember the comments I got when I first got my teeth and I do remember not smiling and not opening my mouth as much
Donna I am glad your first day back at work went well ~ how lovely to have had so many compliments and that you are now able to smile freely ~ I snagged a couple of your Graphics they are really lovely ~ TY ~ Ally
so glad to hear your feeling better. i know the feeling of not wanting to smile and covering your mouth when you do smile. I do that now. but hopefully in the near future i can go get my teeth pulled and dentures put in. love the graphics, i snagged me a few. thank you. (((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

Donna, sounds like you are doing great and much better than I did after one week. I am almost comlpeting my third week and I am felling just a little discomfort. I was able to smile at the wedding but screwed up the pictures anyhow as I always do.
By the time you get to three weeks post op you will be in great shape.
Keep Smiling, Bill
AOL pictures needs to get with it, don't you think? lol Glad you are doing so well with the new grill....especially the after affects of "talking" better along with feeling better! Great graphics, as always!!

You are right about Seattle...it has snowed here and it is sticking...of course we Seattlelites don't really know how to handle snow in the city...took me two hours to get home on Monday...stayed home yesterday and today am nursing a sick daughter. It's still white on the ground and ice...they say there will be more snow tonight. It's been very cold too...may have some pictures up on my journal later today. Glad you are recuperating well and things look great for you! The animations are great as usual. I have been using some of yours on my journal to compliment my entry...with links back, of course! Wishing you happy days!
Maria
