Happy

I love doing happy lists; it reminds me that little things can make me happy! (And not to worry so much about other things!) So here is a list of mine! 

B&BW Hot Chocolate Candle. Seriously, guys. Close your eyes and you think that there is a big pot of hot chocolate on the stove. Smells JUST LIKE real hot chocolate. Amazing!

Jackson's Orchard in BG, KY. It's pretty much a requirement to visit this place in October every year. Fried pies, apple cider, peach ice cream...and not to mention the beautiful scenery.

I picked up a bag of these (or 2) in the Target Dollar bins. Ohmygosh...so yummy.

And I can't forget these gals. They put up with my when I'm crazy, off my rocker and when I'm down and fuming over some boots. (Even if they did get a little huffy with me on Sat, I suppose I would have too!)


What are you happy about today?

 

My Happy List

So glad Mamarazzi has moved the Happy List link up to Tuesday. This girl does not blog on weekends, so I'm so happy I can participate now! Without further adieu- MY HAPPY LIST!

 1. McDonald's Hot Chocolate: This makes my mornings happy!  2. Fall Fairs/Arts & Crafts: I love all of the events going on in the fall. I get most of my holiday (Halloween and Christmas) and seasonal decorations from these events at super low prices. I love the food (helloooo bbq and funnel cakes!), and just being out in the beautiful, fall KY weather is amazing. My absolute favorite fair is in 2 weeks. It brings SO many people that it is almost overwhelming, but I always leave with lots of goodies! 3. Crisp Fall Days: The weather this week has been amazing. The air has a bit of a chill to it, I can pull out my sweatshirts, and fall in love with fall all over again.
(Sorry no photos...having troubles with that this morning!)

What makes your heart happy?

Weekend Happy List

#1- Blog Friends

Obviously, I was having "a day" yesterday.  So many of you left comments that were encouraging, understanding, and uplifting. Thank you so very much. Each time I read one of those, my heavy heart felt lighter. By the end of the day, I had let the negative go!
 I know that many of my posts are "sad" or "negative", but this is my outlet. I'm glad that you all stick with me, and take the time out of YOUR day to make MY day a little brighter.
 I'm so thankful that I have blog friends like you!

#2- Revival

I had stopped going to my "home" church a few months ago. I have been trying to find a church for me, so I was visiting some places or just staying home on Sunday mornings. For the revival at my "home" church, my parents told me about the visiting preacher, and I knew I wanted to listen to him. I have had the best blessings because of him and his church. They sing and play the piano amazingly. I get a blessing just from that. But what I really love is the preacher. I leave with the best feeling. I leave knowing I'm a Christian and knowing I should be living a better life for the Lord. I leave with a feeling I haven't felt in a long long time. This is what I've been looking for for the past few months.

I think I've written enough this morning. I wasn't intending to turn this into a novel. Haha.
What are you  happy for today?

Happy Lists

It's been awhile since I've done this, and it's about time I got back into reminding myself of the things that make me happy!

#1- My dog.

 As I type this, she is snuggled against me, yawning. I love coming home to her, she is always waiting by the door, so happy to see me.

#2- My friends.

I get frustrated easily. Irritated. But you know what? No one is perfect. People are going to irritate you. It's because we are different. We think differently, have different personalities. No one gets along or sees eye to eye 100% of the time. But we have to take the good with the (not even really) bad. And I know they must feel the same about me. I'm glad I have them. (This is about friends in general, just to clarify!)

Love these gals!

#3- Scentsy Honey Pear Cider.

 My bedroom smells heavenly because of you. Yummm.

#4- A good book.

I've been reading Vanishing Acts  by  Jodi Picoult. It's so good. I love  being drawn into a good story.

#5- Winnie the Pooh. (and movies with my cousin).

 I often take my 7 year old cousin to the movies. Tomorrow is my pick-Winnie the Pooh, and luckily he agreed to go with me. It so much reminds me of being a child. Everytime I hear Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know," I think of Pooh. I can't wait to see it! I especially love hearing Pooh's voice. I seriously feel like I'm five again. Great memories.

What's making you happy this weekend?

If it makes you haaaaappyyyyy

Anyone else always sing your post titles? Like Friday's "These are my confessions" by Usher? Todays? Get it?

I haven't linked up with Mamarazzi's Happy List in a long while, and I'm not sure why because it really does always make me happy. So here we go again!

 

1. Hangover Part 2.

If you are a regular around here, you know how much I loved this awful movie from yesterday's post. SO stinkin' funny. I may go back this weekend to watch it for a second time. That. Good.

2. Clear America Mandarin Orange

I've been on a no-soda experiment lately. The experiment is to see if I lose weight. In the past three weeks, I've had two sodas. A coke last Saturday and a Mt. Dew Icee at the movies last night. However, every other day, I've become addicted to this orange drink from Wal-Mart. It's .99 cents a bottle, and dare I say that it tastes like Dt. Sunkist! Totally does. I just close my eyes and pretend it's a "bag full of Fanta." Anyone get that last quote?

3. Whoo-hoo for 3 day weekends.

It's supposed to be gorge! Even though the only official plans I have are for a cookout with people I don't like, I'm going to enjoy this break from insanity. Let's also remember why we have the break and pray for the people this day celebrates!

What would you put on your happy list this week?

Happy lists are good for the soul.

Link up with the Mamarazzi to post your happy list. It's fun and good for the soul. (wow...that was deep.)

Item #1- Girls nights

Picture from last summer with the gang; Meg, me, Katie, Whitney.

Last night was girls night. We started out with dinner. Then pedicures. A little more hanging out here and there. Lot's of gossip and talking. I think we annoyed everyone in the nail salon. Oh well, we have fun conversations so I'm going to consider it free entertainment for them. :)

Item #2- WFE today!

I mean, if you haven't noticed from some other blog posts, even yesterdays, I'm super, crazy, mad, totally excited to see this movie. RPatt is just dreamy, and I can't wait to see him with my girl, Reese. So, I made plans to see this with a friend. 12:45. You can't get here soon enough!

Item #3- Curtains

I ordered some curtains a few days ago for my bedroom. You may remember that I'm redecorating it. It's taken me a few weeks to get everything together, and I still don't have everything ready. I will definitely post pics when it's finished though. Anywho- after looking at every single curtain section in every single store I went to, and perusing the internet for hours on end, I finally found some curtains I love. I just have to get those wrinkles out (huge pet peeve for things that are wrinkly) and hang those babies!

Item #4- Easter

Easter is tomorrow and it just warms my heart to see so many people posting on their blogs about the true meaning of Easter. Yes, bunnies and candy are fun, but if it weren't for Jesus dying for our sins and His resurrection, we would not have the life we do...or our afterlife in Heaven. Praise Him and remember this day for what it truly represents!

What are you happy for this weekend? Let me know!

Happy List

I love the weekend Happy List link up over at Mamarazzi's site. It just makes me....happy! :)

Item #1: Gondolier

Gondolier Website

This restaurant recently opened in my town, and oh my golly, it is delicious! The first night I went, Tuesday, I was in love. I ate leftovers for lunch on Wednesday, and went back Wednesday night with some friends. Yummo!

Happy Item #2: Angelfish Sperrys

I got these last week, and absolutely LOVE them. They are perfect for spring and summer.

And SOOO comfy!

Happy Item #3: Target

I found the lamp I was looking for here this week. I also got The Last Song for a cheap $10 bucks.

You just can't beat this place!

Happy Item #4: Shopping day with my Mum

My mom and I are big shoppers, and really the only people that can shop with us (or us with them) is each other. We try to go every few months for a day. Leave early that morning, shop, eat lunch, and shop some more. It's been awhile since we've been able to get away, and I so enjoyed it.

What's on your happy list this week?

Whoo-hoo for Happy Lists!

Head over to Mamarazzi's blog and link up. It's fun to post what makes you happy.

Just finished this book Thursday night. It made me happy. Great book!

I ate here with my best friend one night this week. It didn't let me down; it was delish!

Is there one where you live? 

I love Welch's grape soda.... so much I could drink it daily; I rarely buy it because of this.

Chapstick makes me happy. It's an odd habit, but I have to have it every half hour or so. I have one in my desk, car, purse, living room, nightstand, bathroom...no lie.

Since it is officially spring, I keep seeing tulips in blogs and on the internet. I am dying to have some sent to me buy some from the store to make my house more cheerful. I just love em.

This sight makes me happy; sun shining on a warm day. I haven't seen it in quite awhile, but I'm hoping since I posted it, it may show up again. Please?!



What's on your happy list?

Weekend Happy List

It's time for another one of my favorite link-ups!! 

I revised this list to add the biggest happy of happy this week.....

Cats won a HUGE game last night, knocking off #1 seed, Ohio State University! The game was neck and neck the whole time, and KY edged by with a win. It's a good night to be a Cats fan!

Now back the my original list. :)


Item #1: The Game of Things

I will be playing this tonight and it is my all time favorite game! The dirtier, the better! Especially involved with items like my #2.

Item #2: Push Up

I'm not talking about the ice-cream here, folks. It's a fabulous drink involving alcohol, but it does taste JUST LIKE the ice-cream. Yummo!

Item #3: Facebook

What in the world did we do with our time before this awesomely annoying and addictive site? (Like that alliteration in there?)

Item #4: Fun Mail

I love love love getting packages in the mail. It makes my day! And I've gotten a couple this week...thanks to eBay!

What's on your happy list this weekend?

Weekend Happy List

Item # 1. My doggie dog. She is the sweetest.

Item # 2. Pedicures. Enough said. 

Item # 3.  Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. ohmygosh! Best  candy ever!

Weekend Happy List

It is the weekend, and time for Mammarazzi's Happy List. So many things to be happy about today!

Check out this blog. Super duper fun stuff going on over there!

Item #1

Daffodils. Why? It means spring is coming around the bend. Finally!!!

Item #2

Wet & Wild Party of Five glitter nail polish. I found this at Walmart last night, and love love love it. Every time I look at my fingers, it's like a sparkly surprise.

Item #3

Glee makes me happy. I love watching it, listening to it, and singing along at the top of my lungs in the car. I just got this one, and it does not disappoint. :)

Item #4

It's March people, and that can only mean one thing....MARCH MADNESS! Kentucky has the greatest tradition of basketball and the best fans in the nation. It's conference tournament time, and Kentucky made it to the next round in the SEC. Whoop whoop. They play today, and that makes me extremely happy! :) GO Cats!

My Happy List

I saw on a few blogs the "Weekend Happy List" that showcases a few things you are happy about this week. So.....here is my happy list!

Happy Item #1: Family and Health

My dad had surgery yesterday. I traveled 2 hours, spent the night in the room with my mom, and stayed all day to be with them. They are the most important people in my life, and while I couldn't do anything to help, I still wanted to be there for them. Pray that he recovers soon!

Happy Item #2: McDonald's Coke

Sometimes you just need a jolt of caffeine. And this, my friends, always makes me feel better and puts me in a better mood. I try to drink diet, but sometimes you just have to go for the real thing. And a McDonald's coke is better than any other.

Happy Item #3: US Weekly

One of my guilty pleasures is celebrity gossip. Don't ask me why, because I don't have an answer. It is just so gosh darn entertaining. And while I complain about the media being full of non-sense (i.e. Charlie Sheen drama or The Royal Wedding), it is because people like me absorb it up. I am subscribed to two of these type magazines, but I had to break down and buy another today to keep me entertained.

Happy Item #4: Enhanced Phones

As if being attached to facebook wasn't enough, you can now get it on your phone. And friends, if it weren't for that, I would have had a long night at the hospital last night and I wouldn't have known what so-and-so was doing or who they became friends with. Again, why do we care? Who  needs to know these things? And why do we check it soooo often? Anywho- it certainly keeps me entertained.

Those are a few things that made me happy this week. What made your 'happy list'?
