Happiness is

- having the right size open back frame, a can of dark green spray paint to
tone down the fake gold colour, and a sharp Xacto knife to finish the $10
bargain bought at seminar

- an invitation to dinner to see the girls ;-)

I guess it's seeing an end to the project I'm working on that can't be put
aside because it's a gift, being invited to a lovely holiday dinner at a
friends house that will include a few good friends and her family, great
weather today dry and just warm, not hot and Puff curled up at my feet
gently snoring the morning away.

Happy New Year--

Lucille - we do share some of the same happiness is...

Health - for all of us, and the fur faces (feathered as well)

Sun shining, a nice breeze, seeing light at the end of the tunnel, a good
cuddle with the DH, Puckster, in front of the fireplace (in winter) on the
comfy couch - with stitchin or knitting happening.

Sometimes happiness is just looking around - out on a hike, drive, and
seeing the beauty around - and not worrying about some catastrophe of life
for the moment.

stumbling upon a website where a guy posted a review about the
cordless mouse we couldn't get to work no how. He said the
instructions show the battery in the wrong way. Voila - problem
solved. I wrote him a message of profuse thanks.

....finding vanilla for 3 dollars for a large bottle.

....50% off sale of items from folded drug chain.

....sleeping thru the night.

Happiness is 20 minutes alone to stitch and choose what MOM wants on TV

2 days off in a row

All the hockey gear that can be washed is washed... Well until tonight that
is....

Cheryl, when you say the hockey that can be washed, do you mean in the
machine? If yes, which pieces? I've been using Febreze and
handwashing, with less than stellar results, and it's a loooong
season!

I wash her "cup", his shorts that hold up the socks, the wicking underwear,
the socks, skull caps and jerseys. Everything else just airs out well.

And still smells.

Cheryl

Breaking 30 minutes in a 5K run (did that this Saturday, so this is a
bit of a brag too!) - not bad for someone on the far side of 40

My dh asking me what threads I'll need to finish a project

My 14 yo son asking me to be at a game because it's important to him

My 13 yo dd smiling (she reminds me of that Carnival Cruise line
commercial these days)

Seeing this group be active!

Louisa - I have become the queen of hockey wash....Pants, shirts, socks,
hockey socks, unders, elbow pads (if they don't have hard shells) - all in
the washer. Cold, active wear cycle - the wicking stuff means no softener.
I wash all the ref gear (including the soft shin pads with the inner hard
shells removed, and elbows) and the playing gear as above. I only wash the
hockey pants occasionally - when they didn't get aired out... Same for the
goalie chest protector - it gets hosed off outside. But, I have washed
hockey pants (usually remove the hard kidney protector pad if you can slide
it out) and definitely if it's a girdle - that gets washed from time to
time.

But, the best hint I can give you is to use the Dishwasher for:
Shin pads - (face up, inner down on the top rack)
Elbow pads - fit them anywhere (usually top as well)
Shoulder pads - stand them kind of in the lower rack
Helmet - but not with any plexiglass visors - sits on top rack

Wash normal with NO HEAT dry, and use GEL Detergent (important). Works like
a charm. They'll be dry on their own in about an hour or so.

Got this from a Little CAPS parent about 11 years ago, and done it ever
since. Keeps the disgusting smells from growing, and clears up all that
bacteria which starts to linger. My hockey gal-pals and I would probably do
our stuff about every 4-6 weeks. In between the key is making sure it comes
out to air dry. DH sets up a circulating fan near his rack of drying stuff.

Trust me - this works and is worth the cycle of the dishwasher. Those
underneath pads tend to get really smelly with adolescent (and adult males).
I also wipe out the helmets with anti-bac hand soap, and the chin cup, etc.
