32 Things That Make Me Happy!

I’ve been in a real for real funk lately.  I needed something to slap me out of this sour puss mood and thanks to my IRL Best Friend, Erin she got me thinking about all the things that make me happy and I’m instantly back in the happy lands.

1.  I’m going to go ahead and say it, Phil.  I’m darn thankful to have this guy in my life because he makes it so much better.

2.  A clean house. 

3.  Bubble baths.

4.  My pups, especially when they snuggle.  Not to mention I think they are hilarious, I mean common my dog watches TV and plays dress up.  If that doesn’t make you happy then I don’t know you.

5.  When all the laundry is done and put away.

6.  The sunshine. 

7.  Music.  

8.  That fact that I will get to see my mom in a little over a week!  Yayyyy.

9.  Breakfast in bed.  This doesn’t happen often but when it does it means the world to me.  It always seems to happen when I least except but need it the most.  Bravo Phil.

10.  My friends.  Even if it’s just a telephone conversation.  I love them to pieces and just being able to talk to them on the phone puts a smile on my face.

11.  Crème Brulee.  Best. Dessert. Ever.  Strawberry Shortcake is up there too.  It’s like heaven after one spoonful.

12.  A hot cup of tea with honey.

13.  Days off.  You don’t know how happy that in 2 weeks and 1 day I have a paid holiday off.  I still can’t decide what I am going to do on that day off but whatever it is, It will be awesome. 

14.  Having workout buddy. 

15.  My niece and nephew.  Seriously anytime I am having a bad day I either Facetime these two or steal them for the weekend.  It’s just instant happiness. 

16.  BBQing.  For one thing bbq meat and vegetables is just 10 times better than baked or sautéed.  Not to mention that the bf is the grill master and that usually means I don’t have to do much in the kitchen.

17.  Elephants.

18.  Getting my hair done.  It’s an instant confidence booster not to mention my hair dresser is the absolute best.  It doesn’t hurt that I get a neck and hand massage during it.  I rarely spend money on myself but I splurge every 10ish weeks getting my hair done. 

19.  Surprises.  Whether its flowers for now reason, a party, coming home to the dishes put away, I just love me some surprises.  But don’t’ tell me you have a surprise for me, I just want to be blindsided.

20.  Car naps.  Yup, you heard that right.  At my previous job I had a 2 hour break and started taking car naps instead of wasting gas and driving home.  Whenever I feel like a need a lil snooze.  I head out to my car, set my alarm, put a scarf over my eyes and pass out for 45 minutes.  I wake up a new woman.

21.  Love. 

22. Taking pictures.  Maybe because it reminds me of my brother, he’s a photographer and the fact I love capturing moments. 

23.  A hot cup of tea with honey.

24.  Pinterest.  

25.  Traveling. 

Spain!

26.  Water, as in some kind of body of water.  Boating and sunshine just screams summer. 

27.  Walks around the neighborhood with the bf, Mouse and Dragon.

28.  Leggings.  This things just make everything better.  

29.  Looking through old photos back when I was a weee one.  

30.  That feeling when you get to the top of a mountain.  It's such a rush.  

31.  Eating out.

32.  Being with my family.  They are my heart and soul. 

I could keep going because there are a lot of things to be happy about.  What makes you happy?  Link up with Erin and Sarah!

Hump Day Confessions

It's hump day and I have been meaning to jump on this whole Hump Day Confession thing.  I've got a lot on my mind and today couldn't be more perfect to confess.  

I confess that I haven't worn deodorant in over two months.  I don't do this on purpose and admit it's pretty fucking gross especially since I workout 4 days a week. But since it's been so cold I don't really need it.  I usually am a regular deodorant applier but somehow it just got lost in my morning routine. Besides, it does keep the creeps away.  Okay, okay I'll go put deodorant on.

I confess that my car is a mess.  I could seriously live out of the thing.  It's a moving closet/fridge.  But I mean I do commute to work so I spend a lot of time in my car.  I've got coats, scarfs, boots, cups, spoons, wrapping paper, gosh you name it and I probably have it in my car.  It's gross.  I'm actually embarrassed to have people in my car.  Thankfully it is starting to get warmer out so I will NEED to spend the day cleaning it.  

I confess that I get scared when I am home alone.  I'm so used to having Phil home that I just feel safer when he is home.  I let Dragon sleep with me in bed when he's gone and she usually sleeps on top of me because I swear she knows I'm scared.  Pup, knows how to protect.  She's a keeper.

I confess that I need a weekend away from my Town/Indiana.  Either one of those would be fine.  It’s no secret that I don’t love the area that I live in but it makes it all worth it because I get to be close to Phil.  And it is growing on me but getting away just helps my sanity because I love new places and trying out different restaurants.  I mean we all know how much I love food. 

I confess that I am freaking out about turning 25 this month.  Yes, I know it’s not old but for some reason I’m really struggling with turning 25.  It’s one of those big milestone ages, you’ve been on this earth for a quarter of a century, like ahhhhhh!  I’m really a grown up.  Maybe it’s because growing up I thought I would have my life figured out by now and well, I am nowhere near close.  And not to mention I am getting wrinkles around my eyes!  I am not okay with this.  I probably won’t be one of those people that embraces getting older.  Keep me young please, k thanks!  Where are the youth fountains?

I confess that I haven’t been making much effort with this blog of mine.  With being sick and just exhausted lately when I get home I just have zero motivation to do anything.  Take last night for instance.  I went to the grocery right after work, got home at 7 and by the time I unloaded everything, made dinner, ate and washed the dishes it was 9 o’clock!  I just went straight to bed. And on other nights I workout and get home at the same time and go through the same routine.  How do people do it all?  

Back in the day with the sister when grocery shopping was actually fun!

I confess that I am upset that my brother Sean announced his engagement/marriage via Facebook before telling anyone in the family and on April Fools day.  I legit thought it was a sick joke, like who would fall for that one.  But come to find out it is somewhat true.  I mean somewhat true in that the marriage part was a joke but they really did get engaged.  Who puts that on Facebook on April Fools if it’s true?  It’s just a rule, you don’t do that.   I’m sad as a sister that he wouldn’t share the news with me via the phone (he lives in NY).  I couldn’t sleep last night because I was so upset.  And of course I am happy for them.  It means the world to me to see him in such a good and happy place in his life.  Have a mentioned I haven’t met her? Okay, so I haven’t mentioned that yet, so yea I haven’t met her yet because they have only been dating for a few months!  I’m in shock.  I honestly don’t know what to think or say.  Am I being selfish for feeling this way?  

Here's to letting it out there.  Now go link up with Kathy @ Vodka and Soda for Hump Day Confessions!
