When The Dog Bites. When The Bee Stings.

Randomly linking through blogs, I found a post that was hugely uplifting. While the author was in a grumpy mood about her pregnancy rash, she decided to list things that make her happy, and try to forget about her lumps and bumps.

So I wanted to make my own list. In no particular order, here are things that I think about that make me happy.

- The gym
- Blogging
- Classic movies
- Scratching the Boyfriends back until he falls asleep
- Laughing at Cell Phone Boys jokes
- Watching little children playing.
- Ellen
- Fresh Flowers
- Cooking
- Talking to Strangers
- Showtunes (Because I’m a cliché)
- Madonna (Because I’m a cliché)
- My Apartment
- My Nephews
- My Godchildren
- Jasper
- My Coworkers
- Underpants
- Dancing
- Red Wine

- Drinking red wine with the Philantropist
- Rollerblading
- New York City
- Optimism

Okay, so the last three were just thrown in to be funny. But, truth be told, there's nothing wrong with packages of any kind.
