I’ve been debating all day what to blog about for Getting To Know You Tuesdays (which I’ve been sadly lacking at lately), and for most of the day I was so bummed that all I could think of were Debbie Downer type questions. But then I checked my WP Reader, and found this lovely over at Sonia Medeiros blog:
Rainbow Brite, by Samantha Claridge
How could you even look at that without smiling? She linked to the blog it came from at the bottom of her post (she also linked to my blog – thanks for the love Sonia!) so I headed over there and found tons of customs, some from favorite customizers that I know well, and some completely new to me. There’s nothing like a custom pony to put me in a properly happy mood.
If you were to stumble upon it online what would cheer you up no matter what? Let’s share a bunch of cheerful things today

I’m sorry you weren’t feeling good this morning
But Yay! for feeling better now! That pony is utterly amazing!
It never fails to cheer me up when I get random happy tweets/messages from people
June 19, 2012 at 4:57 pm
I love random happy messages
I’ll be emailing you later, cause it’s Fie Eoin I’m bummed about, but I have to sort all my thoughts out before I can even write that email. So it won’t be random, or happy, but it will be a message

LOKI! ahahaha!
Ahem. No but really. Loki
How can you resist the shmexy evilness?
June 19, 2012 at 4:55 pm
That made me laugh at work (shhhh, I’m still at work
).
Also, my brother in law looks like a less-evil version of Loki, which is hilarious.

I LOVE her!!! She’s so pretty and cute. Custom ponies always make me smile too. And cat pictures with funny captions.
I’m sorry you’re bummed, and about Fie Eoin too! I’ll go find a cute cat picture for you.

lolcats are pretty darn good at cheering me up too
Thank you for the cute kitties!

I want that pony!
I love to go look at the LOL cats pictures when I’m feeling blue. I’m sorry something is going wrong with Fie Eoin. Hang in there.

I want that pony too, but I think Hubs would have a heart attack at all the color ;P
It’s fixable, but it’s going to take a lot of work, and I thought I was much closer to being done. It’s kind of like a giant mountain just appeared before me, when before it was only a foothill. But Kaye climbed a mountain, and she’s a wimp, so I sure as heck can too!

Hands down, what picks me up on a bad day is great home-cooked dinner. With beer. Maybe 3 or 4. It always helps to focus on the cooking for a couple hours, clearing the mind, then being able to enjoy it!
June 20, 2012 at 11:29 am
That’s the same way Hubs is
If he’s had a bad day he likes to get in the kitchen and start making dinner. If only I could get him on G+, you guys would get along so well!

Better question–what had you so bummed? It’s summer. The weather’s beautiful. The birds are chirping…
June 20, 2012 at 5:10 pm
It was a hard-to-swallow critique that had me so bummed (compounded by work stress). I wish it had been something like “I hate the character names” which I could just ignore, but it was more “there are holes in this entire plot line – rewrite” which is harder to ignore
But I’ve emailed my critters and idea-bouncers and I’m going to fix it! Now I just need a laptop so I can fix it outside with those chirping birds…
June 20, 2012 at 5:29 pm
Ah, I understand. Like one I got from my editor–’aren’t there too many POV characters?’ I even blogged about it, I was so distressed. What don’t kill us…
June 20, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Ha! I got that comment too. Glad I’m in good company

I totally thought I’d already come over here and said “hi.” Don’t know how I didn’t. Writer’s Brain, I guess. LOL. I love that Rainbow Brite pony. Definitely puts a smile on my face.

I understand Writers Brain completely, no worries
