25 Things That Make Me Happy
2009 March 25
Taking a cue from Alyson on this one.
- Planting flowers, shrubs, trees, vegetables, etc
- Anything computer-related: working on them, building websites, trying out new programs
- Snuggling up with Honey to watch television or a movie
- DVR
- Visiting my sister’s house on “Family Day”
- Going bowling with friends, even though I suck
- Cooking a meal and sharing it with people I care about
- Crawling into a comfortable bed when I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open
- Computer-controlled machining
- A clean bathroom
- Kittens and puppies… practically any baby animal
- Dlisted – my guilty pleasure that often makes me laugh hysterically
- Getting the bills paid on time
- Peeing outside (in private places, of course). It makes me feel like a kid again
- Flamingos
- The sands of St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Florida
- Finding a bargain online that has free shipping
- A fresh haircut
- Finding money in the pocket of a jacket that I haven’t worn for a year
- The “Bahama Mama” at Red Lobster
- Mom’s turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving
- Shopping at T.J. Maxx

I was thinking about things to add to mine earlier today and was going to add haircuts. lol.
Ay. What did we ever do without DVR’s?!?! And I love that you love flamingos. They are a “thing” in our family. We always have flamingo-themed events. It’s a Czech thing. :)
@ Alyson: A new haircut can give such an ego boost, huh? BTW, your hair has been looking exceptionally fabulous lately!
@ Caroline: Before I ordered my DVR, I did a little research online and came across a statement that basically said DVR is the greatest improvement to television since they added color. After having one for a few years, I couldn’t agree more.
Flamingos are too cool. I didn’t realize it was a Czech thing, but when I was out walking in Germany, I noticed a pair of sheer curtains hanging in a window that had embroidered flamingos on them. A few blocks away was an artistic metal sculpture of two flamingos attached to the outside wall of a home. I would have never put Germany and flamingos together, but apparently the crazy birds have appeal worldwide!
I agree with #16!!! When are we going back?
Thank you. I haven’t had a fresh haircut since last August. It’s getting on my nerves.
@ Liz: I’m actually taking Honey down there for his graduation present!
@ Alyson: Seriously? It looked great Saturday night.
Google Chrome eh? I’ve been seeing Google trying to lure me in…now I really have to take a look!
@ Wendy: The only time that I don’t use Google Chrome is when I’m forced to use something else; like when I’m installing updates for Windows and they make me use IE. I hate that…
