Smiley Faces

This is a silly post but here goes, anyway...

I bought a birthday card some time ago that had a bunch of smiley faces.  You will notice that one of them is a Happy Birthday Smiley - the object of the card, of course.  The others are mildly interesting.  I kind of like the Lips-are-sealed Smiley the best.

What do you think?  Do you know of any others?

I'm off to pack.  We're leaving for Minneapolis in the morning and will be on board good old Amtrak Tuesday night - about 11:00 p.m.  Luckily we will be in a private room.

All meals are included...not gourmet, of course, because what should be one of the best modes of transportation in this country is sorely lacking in the funds to make it so.   That's as political as I'm going to get but I think you get my drift...

Oh, and here's a photo of the bedroom...picture the walls pink with that comfortor - gah!!  And the carpet looks gray...I don't know why because it's not.  It's beige-ey.

  1. Hi, I've been having a problem leaving comments on your blog for several days. My computer keeps locking up. Anyway--I love the colors in your bedroom. I wouldn't change a thing!
    By the way, welcome back to Minnesota!

  5. Have a safe trip!

    I love the colour on the walls - and I'm sure it's much better than the pink was.
    Not that I have anything against pink, you understand...... :)

    Oh, and thanks for the education regarding smiley faces!

  7. I really like your colors, they all bend together very well. I also love the size of your bedroom... I only wish I had a chair to sit and read in my bedroom, I fall asleep whenever I lie down to read!

    Here's a symbol for you, not a happy face one but one for you just the same *\0/* (cheerleader).

    Have a great week and enjoy the trip!

  8. Thanks, Lady Fi! April should be great in Washington and I want to visit some wineries and botanical gardens.

    Darlin, that is the cutest little symbol! Love the little "pom pons"! I'm going to remember that one.

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?

Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.

Thanks for understanding.
