Things That Make Me Happy :D :D :D :D

As promised here's an entry about things that make me happy.

Puppies, kittens, bunnies, pretty much anything small, baby, cute and cuddly, yup, those things make me happy.  Who doesn't wove cuddling with wittle warm fuzzies!   Yup, I'm such a girl, get over it.

The hubs, kids, and I have a camp just off Pymatuning Lake.  I love going there, spring through fall, to hang out with them and forget about life for awhile.  We have campfires, roasted hot dogs, loud music, swings, and burnt marshmallows.  It's a beautiful escape and it makes me happy.

Reading great blogs makes me happy.  I enjoy hearing about others tales of triumph and woes, especially if they're written in a great format.  Here are 2 of my favorites.

Ali Brosh and her incredible paint animations always crack me up.

Jen from Cake Wrecks writes about her life.  She's awesome.
Go check them out!

I found out recently that my husband actually reads my blog, and that makes me happy.  He hadn't said anything about it previously, but after reading the Things That Piss Me Off post he had to tell me that it was pompous.  I agreed with him.  I'm just happy that he reads what I write.

The five minutes before they kids get into trouble and they're laughing and squealing joyously makes me happy.  I know that something bad is going to follow, but living in that giggly moment is awesome.

Having the kind of friend you can call at 2am for something important or no good reason at all makes me happy.  I've been without really good friends for a long time.  Being a stay at home mom means that I don't get out a lot and don't meet a lot of new people.  I've been fortunate enough to recently make a great new friend by accident really.  We both have small children and a lot of other things in common and I'm not sure how I got along for so long without someone like her.

Finding my inner girl has made me happy.  I never thought I'd be so thrilled to strut about in ruffly sundresses and kick ass heels.  I liked these things as a kid but outgrew them during that 90's grunge stage.  My girly is back with a passion now, from my long curly hair to my pink painted toe nails. 

I'm sure there are plenty of other things too, but this is it for now.  I plan on making another list by the end of summer.  Maybe without the pompous pissed off things before it. :D
