HAPPY 101 AWARD





I received this sweet blog award last week from my friend Vonlipi (http://vonlipisfavorites.blogspot.com/).


*


MERCI BEAUCOUP, Vonlipi


I so appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Here's what I'm supposed to do:





  • Copy the award image into a post.



  • List 10 things that make you happy.



  • Tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day, put in a link to their blogs, & notify the award receivers.

So here are 10 things that make me happy!




  1. Three day weekends!



  2. The day after weigh-in at TOPS when I eat whatever I want.




  3. Any day when all 3 of my girls are home at the same time.




  4. A shopping day in the city where I hit both Value Village and Homesense; eat something yummy (perhaps East Side Marios for Italian or Quiznos for the steak sub); and do the hour and a half drive home with a Starbucks latte (and perhaps a wee smidge of brownie).



  5. Talking to my Mom and Dad; or even better, seeing them (which just happened!)



  6. A warm, fresh pastry at 8 AM from the Saturday morning Farmer's Market ..... and then the whole day stretched out before me with no responsibilities or expectations so I can give in to my wanderlust! ..... But if I can't have all of that, the pastry is still pretty durn fine!!



  7. My little warm house with it's even floors and gyprocked walls and all the water I could possibly want! (Because I lived for 18 yr in a beautiful but big and drafty 150 yr old house with a dug well.)



  8. Dancing -- anywhere, anytime, with anyone, for any reason. (And I like to dance with me, too!)



  9. Sitting in my garden swing, reading, sipping and listening to the birds.



  10. Thoughts and dreams of my garden (when I can't sit, read & sip because it's too cold).

(I'm practicing my "green" look in this pose -- you know -- more ecologically friendly! Look at those pert breasts! ............ Ewww! And that "pert" hair!)
