Just a few things that make me absolutely happy.
-
Reaching the point in a book where you wish you could read at an incredible rate because you just got to the climax and there is no way you are putting it down now.
-
New Year’s kiss.
-
Thin sharpies in every color imaginable.
-
Playing games that I know I will own at.
-
Coming home and seeing my two favorite faces in the world. Well, three. Sorry, Sully. Once again I forgot you for a split second because I was overwhelmed by the thought of the humans I love.
-
3 heavy duty blankets in bed.
-
When you see birds flying together and they are flapping their wings in a perfectly synchronized way.
-
Big, fat snowflakes.
-
Hearing the song I love being played while I am out. Or hearing a song I love on repeat for days.
-
Holding hands.
-
Hugs that never end.
-
Bubble baths at the age of 22.
-
Hearing Laura snort when she laughs.
-
Cleaning my dinner table with Pledge. Shiny, shiny, shiny!
-
Sun in my face.
-
Random love notes.
-
Sleeping more than 5 hours.
-
Thinking up all the dreams in my head that could someday be reality.
-
Freaking french onion dip. Okay, and soup, too.
- Calming myself down after I realize that I did not capture a very (in my mind) important event or moment on video or camera. Then realizing that I get to replay it in my mind forever, and that is even better.
- Looking at ridiculous amounts of clothes that are exorbitantly overpriced.
- My face hurting from laughing or smiling. Either one will do.
Just a few things that make me absolutely unhappy.
- Burnt toast.
- Opening the fridge every hour that you’re home waiting for something to magically appear that looks good so you can devour it.
- Taking a picture and seeing the perfect moment through the lens, feeling accomplished, and then going back to review your photos and seeing that the picture came out blurry. Fail.
- Going back to number 20 in things that make me happy, going back to feeling anxiety about the fact that someday I may have Alzheimer’s and will forget the memory so the camera and video would have done me good.
- When people don’t understand what I mean (because I word things strangely) and they think I said something else, but I am too afraid to correct them.
- The point in my shower when I lose the hot water and have to finish it off with cold water.
- My phone randomly shutting off.
- Realizing that I have to pump gas when I am late for work.
- Losing internet connection.
- Going into Dollar General expecting things to be no more than a dollar and then realizing it’s not the real Dollar Store.
- Accidentally shaving my finger nail while in the shower.
- Mixing dates up for when I have an appointment.
- Syrup on my fingers.
- Showering before having brushed my teeth.
- When people do not know how to use: their, they’re, there.
- When people use slang in their texting. For example, “C U soon.” No, actually, probably not.
- Popcorn being 7 dollars at the dollar theater.
- Getting goosebumps immediately after stepping out of the shower.
- Every toy in my house that speaks in some way, shape, or form playing together, all at the same time, in a horrific symphony. I may be slightly autistic.
- Getting nothing meaningful in the mail.
- Movies that have a crappy ending and wasted the past 2 hours of your life. Or bad movies in general.
- Cold tea.
