If anyone has watched the movie The Story of Us with Michelle Pfeiffer and Bruce Willis, you will know this game! This is a game Darryl and I have played with our kids ever since watching that movie, and we do it at every family dinner!

Basically, you say what your "High" of the day was, and what your "Low" of the day was.

So I'll start so you get the idea!

My High today was Darryl (my hubby) telling me I'm a great person and everyone in the world should love me! He's not very verbal, so this kind of thing is rare, and gave me all kinds of warm fuzzies! (And he got rewarded nicely for it, too!)

My Low today was I cut my finger at work while chopping onions.

Cute idea!! I saw the movie and loved that part! I love that you do it with your family, Jenny!

My high today was sitting outside working in the 72 degree weather we had today. I wanted to be outside, but yet needed to work for a couple of hours so I combined the two, took my laptop and paperwork to my back yard and got some sun!

My low today was working on a holiday. ;-P

Thanks, Karen! Darryl and I loved that movie, we watched it so many times! I need to try to find the DVD--we had it on VHS, but we no longer have a player!

My low would have been the same as yours if I hadn't cut my finger :)

I will do yesterday, although it was kind of a boring day!

My High was Alison came home from her trip! I missed that kid!

My low was the water pipes were froze. And then, later my second high, when they unfroze!! I will never take water for granted again after this winter!


message 6: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) My high for today is that the grades just got in and I don't have a failing mark! Yay! I major in computers and I was nervous for two subjects — Statistics and Circuits. I am really weak at cabling and circuitry :(

My low for today is that I misplaced my 500-peso bill! Don't know what happened to it. :(

That's awesome Mei, congratulations! Sorry about your low :(


message 8: by Taja (new)

Taja  (taozi) What an awesome idea!

Hm..
My high today is that after two weeks of insomnia, I finally slept well :)
My low is that I didn't do anything remotely productive yet ...

I'm happy you finally got some sleep, Taja!

My high yesterday was I received a very special little gift in the mail from our dear mod, Karen



I got Baby Perry! Karen sent me a little "Fire Country" to warm me up, and it worked! Last night it warmed 20 degrees outside, my last water pipe unfroze, and Darryl was finally able to start his truck. Baby Perry is magic!

My low was definitely the cold the rest of the day. I had a lot of running around to do, and it was so cold it hurt!

Ha! Well, my high yesterday was seeing your reaction to baby Perry! That made me so happy! I need to post on our other thread for best present I gave! ;-P

My low is that I'm stuck on some financials at work and need to work many hours today to get them unstuck. Maybe I'll bring baby Sherry (Perry's twin sister) into my office to see if she has magic too! :)

Last night ended up being very fun for me, and totally turned my day around! He got here on the perfect day!!

So happy, Jenny! Here's Perry's twin sister.



She'll go live with David once he settles down. ;-)

Aww Layla I'm so sorry...but happy you got to spend time with him!

My high yesterday was a good trip to the library! Picked up a few books that I really wanted to read!

My low yesterday was rinsing a huge bucket of oysters for the oyster stew I made last night at work. I'm not a fan of oysters, they really gross me out!


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
My high yesterday was taking some much needed ME time. I spent the entire afternoon and evening until the wee hours of the morning READING!!

My low yesterday is that after several hours of scratching my head, I gave up figuring out these dang financials I'm working on and now have to give up a few hours of my Sunday to work on them. Urgh.


message 16: by Taja (new)

Taja  (taozi) Aw baby Perry and the twin sister look so adorable!

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
So yesterday my low was rinsing all those oysters?

Well, today my high was several residents pulling me aside and complimenting me on the stew. On of the residents, Lilly (who is so dang adorable!) told me it was the best oyster stew she's had! LOL It was so sweet!

My low is the cold, cold wind. I hate to be so repetitive, but that's it.

Valerie (valerie328) | 31 comments Today isn't over yet but I will say my high today is I will be able to read when I go home.

My low today was having brush fires all around me and hoping everyone is okay! :(

Its been a little while since I've done this!

Today's high: Tessa's report card!!! Very good one, maybe the best she's ever gotten!

Today's low: COLD. I hate being redundant, but I'm so ready for spring!

My low today was another 15 hour work day this week and I have to work again tomorrow. 70 hours in so far. And I don't have time to read and I miss all my lovely GR friends! :(

My HIGH was finalizing a Nashville trip with my GRBFF's!!! OMG!! Soooooo excited!

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
WOOOOOT!!!! I'm so excited, too!! All I could think about most of the day!


message 23: by -RininTa- (new)

-RininTa- (rinz) My high today: nothing really high today.

My low today: it's floaded in my home town because It has been raining for 3 days in a row nonstop. A lot of people have moved to safe place because the water has reached their home. Still raining here but just a small rain. Hope tomorrow it'll recede.


message 24: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I'm so sorry to hear that RininTa!

Going to the library is one of my favorite things!

My High yesterday was getting a lot done on my new website! Its coming along nicely!

My low was trying to explain my creative decision on said website to my hubby. He just wasn't getting it! lol

My high yesterday was the big stack of pancakes and little smokies I got to eat in exchange for helping to volunteer at the Pancake breakfast! Oh, and also I watched 2 movies last night with hubby- a rarity for us!

My low was it was a long day of working--volunteering then real work. But really it was a good day, not much of a low!


message 26: by Anne (new)

Anne (crazybakingmom) | 115 comments My highs this weekend - watching Captain Phillips with my hubby with no interruptions & having a really nice family dinner tonight that my hubby cooked.

My low was a tentative play-date for may daughter with a friend we rarely get to see had to be rescheduled.

Anne (crazybakingmom) | 115 comments Thanks Jenny! It was. Now I need to work for a little while so my week won't be so crazy. :)

My high today was the 3 hour nap I took this afternoon which recharged me from my past few weeks of crazy!

My low today is that I've realized it's Sunday night and tomorrow's Monday! Where did my weekend go??
