Happiness Headquarters

This is called "The Happy Six Tag". Here are six things that happened today that made me unabashedly happy.

1. For a mere ten minutes this morning, the sun shone through our front door's window, casting a colossal sunbeam across the family room, as well as a dozen tiny rainbows on the floor and walls. That was a moment of speechless proportions.

2. At lunch, Jerald and Summer and I downed a plate of sumptuous cheese fries and dipping sauce from the Training Table restaurant. Pure, golden, culinary delights.

3. After lunch, we perused our favorite antique shop, and as usual, I felt swept away with the history surrounding me - vintage jewelry, 200-year-old furniture, and interesting knick-knacks, but my most esteemed item ... a still-in-its-box Peaches and Cream barbie from 1984! Its price was $90, so the miser in me wouldn't let me splurge. My mother had purchased one for me when I was little and it was ALWAYS my favorite barbie, and now one is being sold at an antique store? Am I old? No, please, no.

4. For dinner, we dined like British royalty with a traditional English meal - roast beef, mashed potatoes, yorkshire pudding, and peas with almonds. There's nothing faster or easier to prepare than a crock pot roast, is there? Five minutes prep time of seasoning and browning, and we let the slow cooker do the rest! Oooh, I should post my simple recipe sometime soon! Boy, I think about food a lot, huh?

5. I sit here, relaxed with my laptop on my laptop multi-tasking. I'm blogging and taking care of my American Idol needs. At this moment, we're waiting to see who is going to be eliminated from the show. Oh, the antsy anticipation. I'm just glad I don't have to be on that stage awaiting my fate, but rather, writing to you about happy things.

6. I periodically looked over at Jerald feeling thrilled that on Friday we will have been married for six years. Hot man...

I tag anyone who wants to find themself happier by finding the happier moments in THEIR day!
